Matt Olson Heating Up Over Past Week

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson has been crushing the ball over the past week. Across his last seven games, he's hit three home runs and a double.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/20/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, Rotoballers! The first batch of play-in games was a huge success. Yes, it was boosted by the phenomenal Los Angeles-Golden State game, but the game-seven environment to all four games was really cool to watch so early in the postseason. Jayson Tatum went off for 50 to down Washington, Memphis got past a […]

Josh Staumont Earns Save On Second-Straight Day

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont closed out the team's 6-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. He had a bit of a shaky ninth inning, allowing a hit, a walk and an unearned run, but he got the job done in the end. This was Staumont's fifth save of the year and […]

Brad Keller Allows Three Runs Over 5 1/3 Innings

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller delivered a decent outing against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Keller pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed eight hits, one walk and three earned runs while striking out four. He certainly allowed too many baserunners, but he limited the damage with just three runs. Keller has a 4.35 […]

Franmil Reyes Doubles Twice Wednesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder and designated hitter Franmil Reyes went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Wednesday night's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Reyes has been a machine in 2021 as he is now hitting .259 with 10 home runs and 27 RBI while also posting a .884 OPS. He has been […]

Gregory Soto Closes Out Wednesday's Win

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Gregory Soto closed out the team's 6-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. He pitched a perfect ninth inning, allowing no hits or walks while striking out one.

Jake Bauers Homers Wednesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Jake Bauers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's night's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. It was Bauers' second home run this month, but he is still hitting just .216 on the season and provides very little fantasy value to players at the moment.

Clayton Kershaw K’s Eight In No-Decision

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw picked up a no-decision on Wednesday evening versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kershaw went six innings and allowed two hits, two runs, one walk and struck out eight. The lefties only blemish was a two-run home run to Eduardo Escobar in the top of the fourth inning. Kershaw has […]

Tarik Skubal Strikes Out Nine Over Five Innings

Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal had one of his best outings of the year so far on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.

Aaron Civale Goes Seven Innings Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Aaron Civale allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight across serving innings pitched in Wednesday night's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

Nick Lodolo Strikes Out 11 Batters At Double-A
