Raheem Mostert Has A Great Matchup Week 1

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert could be in for a masterpiece on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The Lions struggled against the run last year, giving up 134.9 rushing yards per game which was good for fifth-worst. The run-heavy scheme of the 49ers puts Mostert in must-start territory for this contest because of […]

Shohei Ohtani Struggles On The Mound, Thrives At The Plate

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (9-2) hitter didn't look good in Friday's start, pitching just 3.1 innings in the 10-5 defeat to the Houston Astros. He took the loss giving up six runs on nine hits with just one strikeout and no walks. Ohtani's been pretty consistent this season, so it was […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (9/11/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It's a manageable little eight-gamer over on FanDuel tonight, and it's one with plenty of options at pitcher. Castillo, Buehler, Cease, Morton, and Garcia are all intriguing arms at the top, and the lack of confident dart-throws behind them means we'll likely have to spend up at pitcher. There are currently only two teams projecting […]

David Fletcher Extends Hitless Streak Friday

Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher took an 0-for-5 Friday night against the Houston Astros, who won the game 10-5. Fletcher is now hitless in his last six games, going 0-for-24 with two walks, bringing his average down to .279. Fletcher has almost no power in his bat, with two home runs and a […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Early)

Our big slate on Saturday has 12 games that DraftKings picked out for us. All are FBS vs. FBS teams, but considering Tulsa and South Florida were horrible in their openers, we've had some better FCS teams on these slates so far. That's not to say there's lack of talent or a lack of good […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (9/11/21 Primetime)

Our Saturday prime time slate is a little bit bigger than in week 1. We don't have the top-five matchup that the opening week had, but we do have some intriguing matchups. Oklahoma and Louisville are slumming with 1-AA teams, but we could still find a decent option or two in there. I'm more interested […]

Trevor Story Launches 20th Homer

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story connected for his 20th homer during an 11-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The two-time All-Star took Phillies relief pitcher Ramon Rosso deep for a solo blast during the seventh inning. Story, while productive, has been underwhelming this season, posting 20 HR, 67 RBI, 76 R, and 18 […]

Tylor Megill Strikes Out Ten Yankees On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill went seven very solid innings to pick up his third win of the season on Friday in the Mets 10-3 victory over the Yankees. Megill (3-4) allowed just two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters. It was, arguably, the best start […]

College Fantasy Football DFS Rankings: Week 2

With one week under our belts, many depth charts have come into focus and roles have been defined. The biggest thing to make sure when checking box scores is to not get too enamored with one big game or one awful outing. A player like Trea Shropshire had a massive week one, however he is […]

College Football Betting Picks for Week Two (9/11/2021)

College football's first full weekend of games did not disappoint with seven ranked teams falling and several more getting close scares. Georgia's 10-3 win over Clemson, and Notre Dame holding off Florida State, could both be games that have direct implications on the College Football Playoff field, while other games like UCLA's win over LSU […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread 9/11 (Week 2)

How fitting is it that my 350th article here at Rotoballer is this behemoth. It was these against the spread picks that first got me into sports writing in the first place. I have evolved into multiple DFS sports, but the challenge of picking every college football game against the spread is at times alluring, […]

German Marquez Goes Six Scoreless, Wins 12th Game

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez spun six scoreless innings during an 11-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The 26-year-old was brilliant, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out six during the quality start.

Lorenzo Cain Crushes Grand Slam In Win

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Friday's 10-3 win over Cleveland. The outfielder capped a six-run fifth inning for Milwaukee with the slam, which was the third of his career. Cain has eight homers this season, five of which have come since August 10th. He's slashing a modest .248/.328/.402 […]

Francisco Lindor Belts 14th Homer On Friday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, and two runs scored in the Mets 10-3 win over the Yankees on Friday night. Lindor has had a disappointing 2021 campaign overall. After starting to heat up at the plate, he has again cooled off. Hopefully, Friday's performance can […]

Luis Urias Struggles In The Field But Makes Up For It With His Bat

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over Cleveland. The 24-year-old committed two errors in the first inning, which contributed to Cleveland taking an early lead. Urias made up for it with his fourth-inning go-ahead crush job, and he […]

Eduardo Escobar Goes Yard Twice In Win Over Cleveland

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Eduardo Escobar went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's 10-3 win over Cleveland. The infielder went yard off Cleveland starter Eli Morgan in the fifth inning and reliever Sam Hentges in the sixth. Escobar has homered three times in his last two games after failing to go yard for […]

Adrian Houser Records Ninth Win Against Cleveland

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (9-6) earned the win Friday over Cleveland. He allowed two unearned runs on a hit and five walks with five strikeouts in six innings. This is the second time in his last five starts he's allowed more walks than hits, but he's been fairly effective in that stretch. Houser […]

Max Muncy Launches 32nd Homer

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy connected for his 32nd homer during a 3-0 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday. The two-time All-Star took Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove deep for a two-run blast during the third inning. Muncy has rebounded after a tough 2020 campaign, posting 32 HR, 81 RBI, 84 R, […]

Javier Baez Drives In Two In Mets Win

New York Mets shortstop/second baseman Javier Baez went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored in the Mets 10-3 win over the Yankees on Friday. Báez remains red-hot at the plate with a ridiculous .500/.556/.833 slash line to go with two home runs and six RBI over his last seven games (24 […]

Corey LaJoie Long Shot Chance at Top 15 Result

Corey LaJoie has shown over the past several weeks that he can achieve some decent place differential. Since Pocono that has been the case and LaJoie's gained 10, 17, and 10 positions respectively in the past three races he has finished. That was despite a late crash at Daytona. The No. 7 car could thrive […]

Chris Buescher One to Look at Even at Richmond

Chris Buscher technically has consecutive top ten results currently. He was disqualified at Daytona while running second. Those silly manifold spoiler differences can be a problem. That being said, the No. 17 car has finished in the top 20 nine of the past ten races now. The Roush-Fenway Racing driver does have top-16 upside with […]

Julio Urias Goes Seven Scoreless, Wins 17th Game

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias spun seven scoreless innings during a 3-0 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday. The 24-year-old was brilliant, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out seven across 94 pitches.

Austin Dillon Looking Better As Richmond Approaches

Austin Dillon was in contention before the crash two weeks ago at Daytona then he responded with a top ten at Darlington. Dillon has been mostly pretty consistent result-wise this year. His average finish is actually near 15th. He just will not lead you laps as the driver has never led more than seven laps […]

Ross Chastain Could Build off Darlington Momentum

Ross Chastain was excellent at Darlington last week as he finished third. Do not overlook the driver at Richmond. He did finish 15th at the 3/4 mile track in the Spring. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver had a little more speed than expected late on the run at Darlington also. The No. 42 could definitely […]
