Fernando Tatis Jr. Tops Exit Velocity Leaderboard

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. kept rolling Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a solo homer, steal and two runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tatis smashed a 414-foot blast against starter Ross Stripling in the fifth inning for his fourth long ball. The 21-year-old has exceeded lofty expectations through 60 plate appearances, slashing .294/.400/.647 […]

Braves Activate Will Smith On Thursday

Atlanta Braves reliever Will Smith (COVID-19) has been activated by the team and will be active in the bullpen for Thursday's contest against the Blue Jays. Smith has been recovering after a positive test and was able to throw a simulated game session on Thursday. While he will have competition for saves from fellow reliever […]

Josh Donaldson Out Again On Thursday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) will miss his sixth game since being pulled from the contest on July 31. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that Donaldson will travel with the team and that he anticipates him playing "sooner rather than later." It seems unlikely that he'll suit up during their series against Pittsburgh, so […]

Jake Odorizzi Will Make Debut Against Royals

Minnesota Twins pitcher Jake Odorizzi (intercostal) is set to make his season debut on Saturday against the Royals. Odorizzi has missed his first two starts of the season with a right intercostal strain after suffering the injury just before Opening Day. The 30-year-old went 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA in 159.2 innings pitched and registered […]

Miguel Andujar Optioned To Alternate Site

New York Yankees third baseman and outfielder Miguel Andujar was optioned to the team’s alternate site in a surprising move on Thursday. Andujar had struggled after seeing playing time in five of the team’s 11 games, collecting only a single over 14 at-bats. With roster sizes shrinking to 28 players on Thursday, it appears as […]

Is It Too Good To Be True? Buying and Selling Hot Starts

Normally, after only one full week of the fantasy baseball season, we're casually taking stock of our teams, seeing which guys are settling into lineup spots, which teams look like they might be surprising, and generally feeling pretty good about where we're at now. However, there is nothing normal about this season. After one full […]

Week 3 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

As this weird, altered season progresses, the imbalance in the schedule becomes a bigger and bigger issue. Some teams have already played double-figure games, while others have played just a single series. This imbalance is obviously troublesome for the standings with the playoffs not all that far off in the grand scheme. It is also […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/6/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Thursday represents one of the more tumultuous slates of the young 2020 season due to the uncertainty surrounding many starting pitchers across the league.

MLB Betting Picks (8/6/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We got back to the win column Wednesday. Boston led the entire game and never looked back, while Hyun-Jin Ryu and Sean Newcomb went toe-to-toe through five innings and the bullpens held it down from there. The Twins were silenced by Trevor Williams, but once he left the game the Pittsburgh bullpen gave up four […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

It is still the early portion of the season, where we still don't know enough about player performances to make a solid judgment, roles are still being figured out, and in some cases, teams are coming back from long layovers. It's definitely a crazy a season, but there is still some value to be found […]

We have yet to play two full weeks of the Major League Baseball season but we’ve already witnessed a great many things in 2020 — some good, some not so good. But, on the plus side, this crazy season — and its 30-man rosters — has afforded quite a few opportunities to MLB rookies, especially […]

Brad Keller To Make Season Debut Thursday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller (COVID-19 recovery) has spent the beginning of the year on the Injured List due to a positive COVID-19 test during the summer. After going through recovery protocol, he is now ready to return to the team and he will start Thursday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It's a […]

Mike Minor Looks To Bounce Back Against Oakland

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor will look to get his season back on track against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday night. Minor is looking to put his last start behind him after giving up six runs in 5 2/3 innings to the San Francisco Giants. Minor had a 200 inning-200 strikeout season in 2019 […]

Kris Bubic Pitches Six Solid Innings Against Cubs

Kansas City Royals pitcher Kris Bubic was the tough luck losing pitcher in Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. In his second MLB start, Bubic went six innings and allowed four hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out six. Despite coming away with the loss, it was an extremely promising performance for […]

Shin-Soo Choo Goes Deep In Oakland

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo collected his third home run of the season on Wednesday night. Choo smacked the first pitch of the game out of the park off A's starter Sean Manaea. The veteran lefty now has the strange season line of four hits and three home runs. So despite a .167 batting average, […]

Austin Nola Doubles Twice Wednesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Austin Nola went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs against the Angels on Wednesday. Since Tom Murphy landed on the injured list, Nola has been taking the bulk of work at catcher for the Mariners. Though Nola has been productive in his role, he will almost certainly be back […]

Dylan Moore Collects Three Hits Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dylan Moore went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels. Moore has been seeing a decent amount of playing time while Mitch Haniger is on the injured list and he is making the most of it. Moore is hitting .367 with two homers […]

J.P. Crawford Extends On Base Streak To 13

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 1-for-4 with a run, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels. Crawford has been off to a great start to 2020 sporting a .421 OBP with 12 runs and three stolen bases. Crawford's plate discipline has been stellar so far this season as he […]

Marco Gonzales Goes Seven In Win

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales gave up three runs on three hits over seven innings in Wednesday's win over the Angels. That's now two starts in a row that Gonzales has looked dominant and with three earned runs and 13 strikeouts between them. Though both good starts were against the same team, the Angels, […]

Kyle Gibson Strikes Out Nine

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson made his second start of the season on Wednesday night and was unfortunate not to grab his first win in a Rangers uniform. Gibson pitched six innings giving up four hits, three earned runs, two home runs, and two walks while striking out nine Oakland A's. He left the […]

Michael Brantley Will DH Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (quad) is expected to DH in the team's series finale versus the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Manager Dusty Baker initially wanted to keep the veteran out until Friday, but apparently changed his mind after the club's 14-7 loss on Wednesday. Brantley has missed the last two games with a quad injury […]

Tyler Chatwood Riding Momentum Into Thursday Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood is off to a surprisingly terrific start to the 2020 season, and he'll have a favorable matchup against the Royals on Thursday. The right-hander has struck out 19 batters over 12 2/3 IP this season, allowing just one run and four walks on his way to a 2-0 record. […]
