Joe Ross Struggles in Game 5 Loss

Ross was overmatched by a hot Astros lineup, and they took advantage early. Yordan Alvarez rocketed a ball over the centerfield wall and drove in Yuli Gurriel in the second inning. He lasted until the fourth inning until Carlos Correa blasted another two-run homer. Ross struck out just one batter over five innings and walked […]

Gerrit Cole Slams The Door In Game 5 Win

The best pitcher in baseball is showing us the ice running through his veins. After a tough game one, Gerrit Cole locked in and went seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits. He struck out nine batters and the Nationals were in scoring position just once all game long. His only blemish was […]

Max Scherzer Scratched From Game 5 Start

Washington Nationals starter Max Scherzer will not start Game 5 as the ace is dealing with back spasms.

Yordan Alvarez Gets Start In Left Field

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez will make an appearance in the outfield as the rookie will start and hit sixth in Game 5 of the World Series.

Adam Eaton Out To Start New Hitting Streak

Trea Turner Hitting Only .233 At Home During Playoffs

Robinson Chirinos Sits For Game 5

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the lineup for Game 5 of the World Series against the Nationals.

Jose Urquidy Goes Five Scoreless Innings And Gets Win

Urquidy came through huge for the Astros, who needed someone to step in and win a game in-between Zack Greinke and Gerrit Cole.

Michael Brantley Goes 3-for-5 And Scores Twice in Game 4 Win

Mr. Consistent has continued his ways into the World Series and now has eight total hits in four games. They're going to need him more than ever in game five, as Max Scherzer takes the mound at home in Nationals Park. The Astros and Nationals are tied up 2-2, so it's now a best-of-3 series. […]

Carlos Correa Walks Three Times in Game 4

Correa was extremely patient in game four, and he ended up working three walks in five at-bats. For a guy that sported just a 10.9% BB rate, Correa stepped up and did what was necessary to get this win. He's been hot this entire postseason and they'll need him for these last two wins. It'll […]

Alex Bregman Goes 3-for-5 And Homers in Game 4 Win

The Astros tied the series up at 2-2 on the shoulders of Alex Bregman, who finished the game with five RBI's and a seventh-inning blast off of Fernando Rodney. Bregman has been nails in this World Series and is a candidate for MVP if the Astros can pull off the comeback. He doesn't give into […]

Jake Marisnick Gets Starting Nod For Game 4

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick will start and hit eighth in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday. With National left-handed starter Patrick Corbin on the mound, veteran Josh Reddick will come off the bench in this pivotal game. This is quite a gamble from manager A.J. Hinch as Marisnick has seen only four […]

Adam Eaton White-Hot Heading Into Game 4

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton is enjoying a fantastic World Series thus far, going 6-for-12 (.500) through the first three games heading into Game 4.

Jose Altuve Slugging .600 In World Series

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/26/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Game 4 of the World Series is upon us, and with it comes another Showdown game. This matchup sees Patrick Corbin and Jose Urquidy going head-to-head in perhaps the least impressive matchup of the series so far. This game has the total set at 8, largely because it is being played outdoors in Washington in […]

Jose Altuve Doubles Twice in Game 3 Victory

It could've been three doubles for Altuve quite easily, but his first-inning line drive was snagged by Robles in center. He was seeing Anibal Sanchez better than anyone in this Astros lineup and he doubled down in the third and fifth innings, hitting doubles and scoring in both. It was a much-needed performance from Altuve, […]

Anibal Sanchez Struggles in Game 3 Loss

Sanchez has posted a 5.10 xFIP this season, so he's really not a good pitcher. He has stepped up in a huge with this postseason and we've all been waiting for one of these games. Sanchez gave up 10 hits and four earned runs over just 5.1 innings, cementing a game three loss. Jose Altuve […]

Zack Greinke Gets Job Done in Game 3 Win

Greinke didn't have a great game, pitching just 4.2 innings and allowing one run. It was exactly what the Astros needed, though, as they got an early lead and never gave it up. He got out of a bases-loaded third inning jam scot-free, before giving up an RBI triple to Victor Robles in the fourth. […]

Shohei Ohtani Up To 100 Feet In Throwing Program

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow, knee) is up to 100 feet in his throwing program and is on track to get on a mound in late November.

Yordan Alvarez The Odd Man Out In Game 3

Houston Astros rookie outfielder Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the World Series against the Nationals on the road with the designated hitter no longer in play.

Zack Greinke Struggling To Put Away Lefties

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke will take the mound in what is a must-win situation in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night against the Nationals. It has not been the smoothest postseason ride for the veteran, but he pitched fairly well in his last outing against the Yankees. Greinke will carry a […]
