DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/08/16): MLB DFS Advice

After a long regular season the playoffs are finally here. Unfortunately, the playoffs can make for some difficult decisions in daily fantasy leagues. The target options are significantly lower and choosing the right starting pitchers is key. Today's contests is especially tough considering there are only two games to choose from. In this article, I […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/8/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome to the first Saturday of the 2016 Major League Baseball playoffs.

Reviewing Tony Peters' Bold Predictions for 2016

After opening up the season with a list of 10 bold predictions, I have face to facts, look myself in the mirror and deal with the aftermath of my thoughts. How off-the-wall or on-the-mark was I? Well, spoiler-alert, a little spotty outside of Mariners-related picks. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS […]

Reviewing Jeff Kahntroff's Bold Predictions for 2016

Back in March, RotoBaller staff writers (including yours truly) published a series of bold predictions for the 2016 fantasy baseball season. Now that the year is in the books, it's time to look back at how we all did. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium […]

Reviewing Edward Sutelan's Bold Predictions for 2016

Before this season, I made a couple of bold predictions about the upcoming season. There were some hits . . . and then there were some misses. Overall, I feel that people who read my article seeking fantasy advice were probably not too let down by my predictions (unless you bought into A.J. Reed). I look […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/7/16): MLB DFS Advice

As a Mets fan, I was a little bummed out by how the season ended, but that can be expected when dealing with multiple key injuries. On a different note, props have to be sent to Madison Bumgarner, who continues to prove that he's one of the best playoff pitchers in the MLB. In this […]

Reviewing Bill Dubiel's Bold Predictions for 2016

What’s even more fun than making bold predictions? Looking back at the end of the season to see how good (or so, so hilariously bad) they were. Just like with the preseason pieces in March, I’m continuing the review of our RotoBaller staff’s 2016 bold predictions. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS […]

Reviewing Nick Mariano's Bold Predictions for 2016

Hello you beautiful RotoBallers, and welcome to this little retrospective ditty where I look back at my 10 Bold Predictions from before the 2016 baseball season started. Perhaps you’ve seen some of my fellow writers doing the same lately, but obviously there is only one Nick Mariano. Let’s see how ya boy did. Editor's Note: Purchase […]

Reviewing Kyle Bishop's Bold Predictions for 2016

What’s even more fun than making bold predictions? Looking back at the end of the season to see how good (or so, so hilariously bad) they were. Just like with the preseason pieces in March, I’m kicking off the review of our RotoBaller staff’s 2016 bold predictions. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass […]

I know this is weird, we've had day-in, day-out […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Scottsdale Scorpions

The Yankees drew the short end of the bunch by getting paired with the Los Angeles Angels prospects. That isn't to say that Taylor Ward isn't a good player, he just isn't an elite talent. The Scottsdale Scorpions are a top heavy team, but even that talent doesn't compare to other clubs in the league. Editor's Note: Purchase a […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/2/16): MLB DFS Advice

  This it it. The MLB regular season is finally coming to a close. This is the last day of regular season baseball before the playoffs start. Let's get one more fantasy win under that fantasy baseball belt. There are a lot of great games on the slate tonight. There are quite a few outstanding […]

There's plenty of value to go around today, and that's reflected in the suggested targets. In this article, I will be providing […]

Champ or Chump: How'd I Do?

The point of Champ or Chump is to use every metric imaginable to try to predict how a player will perform in the future. It's not always right, as true talent levels change while luck plays a role in every play's individual outcome. Historically, I conclude the analysis based on what I see as the […]

Lessons Learned From Our Deeper Waiver Wire Adds (American League)

With the season wrapping up this weekend, I wanted to take a moment in this final entry in the column this year to reflect on the 2016 fantasy season in terms of deep AL-only cuts. Quite a few fantasy relevant players made their way into this column this season, including more than a handful that transformed […]

Bullpen Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 26

It is the final few days of fantasy baseball! While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men that have proven to be closer candidates to target off the waiver wire for Week 26 and the final week of the fantasy baseball season. Good luck to […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/30/16): MLB DFS Advice

The last series of the regular season is finally underway. The San Francisco Giants are one game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals, even after that bizarre extra innings finish. The Colorado Rockies are back in Coors Field to show off their impressive upside one more time before the season ends for them. That is […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/30/16): MLB DFS Advice

We're getting down to the wire, and there are some great battles going on for playoffs. It looks as if the Mets are going to make the playoffs, although they will have to win the "play in" game against the Giants or Cardinals. Regardless, at this point, this season has been a win for how […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Salt River Rafters

The Salt River Rafters are filled to the brim with batting prospects worth watching. Likewise, they lack any rotation worth noting. They are similar to the Surprise Saguaros in nature without the obvious ace in Michael Kopech. The thing that sticks out the most about the Rafters is that two of the four players to watch […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/29/16): MLB DFS Advice

A long season has finally come to an end. Hopefully good fortune found you and your teams in 2016. Of course, us RotoBallers know that winning isn't just a matter of luck! I would like to think this column gave you NL-only and deep-league owners some helpful advice along the way. I n lieu of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/28/16): MLB DFS Advice

It's a full slate of MLB games on DraftKings for Wednesday's contests, as there is one game in the early afternoon and the remaining 14 contests take place in the evening. Because there's (can be) only one day game (Highlander) I'm going to focus on the evening games so that you can apply this advice to all of the evening and […]

RotoBallers, as always, we’re constantly trying to come up with new features that will help you dominate your fantasy leagues. Recently, we’ve built a tool that identifies the biggest trends in contact rate over the last seven days. The tool can be found here. Keep in mind, any statistic being viewed in such a small sample size […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Peoria Javelinas

The Peoria Javelinas might be the team most will sleep on. They lack the prominent big name bats but make up for it with raw athleticism and depth in the pitching staff. Brent Honeywell is the team’s ace, and he is just as good as anyone in the minors. The batters coming into the outfield […]

Reflecting on the Legacy of Jose Fernandez

No amount of words exist that can do Jose Fernandez justice, but I’ll be selfish here and use this platform to put together my own reflections on him, both his life and his passing, in the hopes that it helps me, and some of you, work through this tragedy while celebrating the life of one […]

Week 26 Waiver Wire: First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The tragic death of Jose Fernandez in a boating accident yesterday morning was a sobering reminder of how trivial this game truly is. And yet it was also an affirmation, because baseball is how he found his way into so many lives. Fernandez’s joyous nature and enthusiasm for the game was as plain as day […]
