When Is Joe Boyle Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

After a disappointing stint in the majors last season with the Athletics, Joe Boyle was traded to Tampa Bay in the offseason and has begun to find his footing. Boyle has spent most of his time at Triple-A and has been one of the most effective pitchers in the minor leagues. With the Rays now […]

When Is Logan Henderson Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Logan Henderson looked quite comfortable during his first stint in the major leagues this season and is finding similar success at Triple-A. However, with fellow young right-hander Jacob Misiorowski joining the Milwaukee rotation, Henderson may not have a viable path to return to the big leagues in the near future. […]

When Is Bubba Chandler Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Bubba Chandler is viewed as the top pitching prospect in the sport on MLB.com. Last season, he quickly progressed through the system and was a popular late-round target this season as he appeared just weeks away from his MLB debut. However, Chandler has struggled at times this season and has […]

When Is Jordan Lawlar Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar has been one of the most dominant hitters at Triple-A this season, but has yet to take the next step in the major leagues.

Qualifying Crash Makes William Byron a Likely DFS Must-Have

Despite his 38th-place starting position and stout $10,000 salary (the fourth-highest in the field), William Byron seems like one of the best options for DFS play at the Chicago Street Course. It's rare for any NASCAR Cup Series points leader to crash out of any qualifying session, which virtually guarantees a large number of Place […]

Alex Bowman Should Finish Well, but Probably Costs Too Much for Serious DFS Consideration

In an otherwise mediocre 2024, Alex Bowman's one real bright spot came when he won last year's Chicago Street Course race to lock himself into the playoffs. The win was more the result of a brilliant strategy call by Bowman's crew chief Blake Harris than his own doing, as Bowman was running 9th late in […]

Joey Logano Has Been Relatively Mediocre on Road Courses Lately

Joey Logano is one of the hardest drivers to predict in the NASCAR Cup Series since it's hard to really get a sense of when he will run well or when he won't, and even harder to determine which of his good races will lead to a good finishing result since he blows potentially strong […]

Ryan Blaney Doesn't Really Fit Neatly into Optimal DFS Lineups

Ryan Blaney curiously qualified 17th for the third consecutive year at the Chicago Street Course. Blaney is not particularly noted as a road racer, but he finished 10th in last year's race here, matching his best road course finish since Sonoma last year. Because Blaney is not one of the best road racers, he is […]

Austin Cindric Remains an Overrated Road Racer

Despite Austin Cindric's traditional reputation as a road racer, he's really become more of a specialist on drafting tracks and intermediates lately. Cindric qualified 27th for today's race at the Chicago Street Course, worse than both his teammates Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano. Although he did finish 6th in the inaugural Chicago race in 2023 […]
