FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/30/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The last MLB Friday slate of July features an interesting pitching pool, one that’s a bit short on reliable arms in my view. That makes plucking our anchor play and possible alternate selection a bit trickier than on other occasions, but I believe I’ve found two reliable candidates for those roles. Any time there’s questions […]

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! This trade deadline is something else. Yesterday, we saw Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, and Anthony Rizzo change teams. While there are a dozen moves I could discuss, those two stand out because they will produce postseason tremors among the elite teams. Now, we get to follow the deadline with a massive dose of […]

Charlie Blackmon Reaches Twice On Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout in a 3-0 shutout loss to the San Diego Padres.

Patrick Corbin Takes No-Decision Thursday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin got plenty of run support Thursday night, leaving game two of the doubleheader against the Phillies in position for a win, but an unfortunate bullpen meltdown left him with just a no-decision. Corbin wasn't especially effective himself, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk in five innings. […]

Yadiel Hernandez Drives In Two In Game Two

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez started game two of Thursday's doubleheader, going 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored against the Philadelphia Phillies. With the Nationals firmly in sell mode, playing time could open up for the lefty swinger, who has two homers and two steals in his 90 at-bats this season. […]

Ryan Zimmerman Reaches Four Times In Loss

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman started Thursday's nightcap against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting third and playing first base. He went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, and two runs scored. As it stands, Zimmerman has only been in the lineup against left-handed starters, but with so many players on the move that could change. […]

Juan Soto Adds Three Hits In Nightcap Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 3-for-5 with three singles and two runs scored in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. He was also caught stealing. He's been successful in just six of 12 attempts this season. Soto remains wildly effective at the plate as usual, but his fantasy value is […]

Josh Harrison Has Four Extra-Base Hits Across Doubleheader

Washington Nationals utility man Josh Harrison was the offensive star Thursday, collecting a home run, three doubles, a single, two RBI, and two runs across eight at-bats in a doubleheader split against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Eduardo Rodriguez Has Disaster Outing Thursday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez just didn't have it Thursday night, allowing six runs on seven hits and four walks to the Toronto Blue Jays in 3 1/3 innings. If there's one positive, it's that Rodriguez struck out eight batters. He took the loss to drop his record to 7-6. Despite severe bad […]

Nick Senzel To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) is scheduled to play in his first rehab game Friday for Triple-A Louisville, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The 26-year-old underwent arthroscopic on his left knee in late May and is on track for a return in early August, barring any setbacks during his rehab assignment. […]

Daniel Hudson Traded To Padres

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson has been traded to the San Diego Padres, according to Robert Murray of Fan Sided. Hudson was placed on the COVID-19 injured list earlier Wednesday, so his first appearance with the Friars should come in August once cleared. The 34-year-old is in the midst of a stellar season, posting […]

Grizzlies Take Santi Aldama To End First Round

With the final pick of the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies have selected center Santi Aldama, a Spanish player who played at Loyola Baltimore last season. Aldama averaged 21.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, though he wasn't playing against elite competition. There's a ton of upside here as Aldama […]

Nets Take Day’Ron Sharpe At 29

With the 29th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets — who acquired the picks from the Suns in a deal that sent Landry Shamet to Phoenix — have selected North Carolina center Day'Ron Sharpe. Last season, Sharpe averaged 9.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game. He's an athletic big and […]

Sixers Draft Jaden Springer

With the 28th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Phladelphia 76ers have selected Tennessee guard Jaden Springer. Last season, Springer averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 43.5 prcent from three. He'll provide the Sixers with some useful bench scoring, but it's really hard to know what […]

Bryce Harper Expected To Play Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (back) was removed in the third inning during the second game of a doubleheader Thursday against the Washington Nationals. Phillies manager Joe Girardi labeled Harper as "day to day" with a stiff back, but expects the 28-year-old to be back in the lineup on Friday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Harper […]

Nets Take Cam Thomas At 27

With the 27th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets have selected LSU guar Cam Thomas. Thomas showed a knack for scoring with LSU last season, averaging 23.0 points per game, though he shot just 40.6 percent. That efficiency should rise in Brooklyn though, as Thomas will be surrounded by James Harden, Kevin […]

Nuggets Draft Bones Hyland

With the 26th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets have drafted VCU guard Bones Hyland. The Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, Hyland is a great scorer who can hit the three but can also score inside. There are concerns about his strength, but Denver is a great landing spot for Hyland, who'll […]

Kyle Schwarber Traded To Red Sox

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) has been traded to the Boston Red Sox, per Robert Murray of Fan Sided. No word on the package going back to Washington, but the Red Sox have added another potent bat to a deep lineup. The 28-year-old has 25 homers, 53 RBI, and 42 runs scored with a […]
