Who Is The Diamondbacks Closer? Fantasy Baseball Saves Outlook

One of the most valued and sometimes hard-to-find things in fantasy baseball is saves. Unless you drafted a few of the top relievers early in your draft, you most likely will be looking for help on the waiver wire during the season. Multiple teams struggle annually to find the "guy", and often have to go […]

Who Is The A's Closer? Fantasy Baseball Saves Outlook

The Oakland A's are what you would classify as moribund. We're 21 games into the season, and the A's have nothing to show other than a horrific 4-17 mark. At this rate, they have a fair shot at shattering the Cleveland Spiders' 20-134 season. Oakland has slowly rebranded their organization by cleaning house over the […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers - Fantasy Baseball SP Pickups and Starts (Apr 24 - Apr 30)

Last week was slim pickings when it came to streamable two-start pitchers. There were a few good pitchers that were over 50% rostered, but overall it didn't look like a great week. This week looks even more bleak and there are fewer options to stream than in the first few weeks. For those new to […]

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe had a solid outing in the win over the Oakland A's. The 27-year-old went 2-for-4 while adding three runs and an RBI.

Jordan Walker Out Of Lineup Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. It looks to be just an off day for Walker, who continues to hit low in the lineup. He has hit 7th in eight games and 8th in 9 games to begin the season. The Cardinals have a […]

Jacob deGrom Will Make Sunday Start

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (wrist) has been confirmed as the starting pitcher for Sunday's matchup with the Oakland Athletics.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo (hip) had been set to return to the lineup on Saturday but was scratched because of wet conditions on the field.
