Surprising Winners from the NFL Draft: Running Backs

There were a couple of teams we thought would take running backs to help bolster their backfield during the 2021 draft. Two of those teams, the Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons, did something even more surprising. Nothing. This may prove to be the best thing for them. On the other hand, we know it was […]

Kevin Pillar With Another Big Night On Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, two RBI, and two runs scored in the Mets 6-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Pillar's home run was his fifth of the season. He now owns a .250/.289/.430 slash line with the five homers, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored, […]

Edwin Diaz Picks Up 14th Save On Wednesday

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz picked up a one-out save on Wednesday preserving the Mets 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Clayton Kershaw Suffers Sixth Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw saw his record fall to 8-6 with Wednesday's loss versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Kershaw pitched well enough for a quality start, but not enough for a win. The lefty tossed six frames and allowed eight hits, two runs, one walk and struck out nine on the evening. Kershaw […]

Dominic Smith Homers Again On Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in the Mets 6-3 win over the Cubs on Wednesday. It was Smith's second home run in three games, as his bat has gotten hot during this four-game series against Chicago. He is 4-for-9 with two home runs and […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (6/17/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, Rotoballers! I've barely recovered from the masterpiece that was Kevin Durant's Game 5. Thanks to his historic (literally, look it up) performance, the Nets are now up 3-2 in this Eastern Conference Semifinal, and the franchise is one win away from their first Conference Final since 2003. We already know that Kyrie Irving (ankle) […]

Freddy Peralta Pitches Well In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (6-2) gave up two runs on five hits and struck out six over seven innings, but he took the loss Wednesday against Cincinnati. Two of the five hits Peralta allowed were RBI doubles, which accounted for the runs he gave up. The young right-hander hasn't allowed more than two […]

Hey RotoBallers! Hope all is well in your world. Unfortunately it's the same old song and dance over here after Week 11. Six out of the seven days last week were what I would call "productive" in that I either profited some or broke even on a play or two that could've swung either way. […]

Greetings RotoBallers! We have two early games and then eight games on top for the nightly slate. If you are playing the afternoon games, I'd load up on Orioles. They have been a sneaky offense all year. I'm also tempted to go back to the Giants as they helped me win nearly 10x my investment […]

Ty France Has Three-Game Double Streak

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France doubled for the third consecutive game Wednesday night, going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored. France is finally showing signs of the player who tore up the Cactus League this spring, slashing .360/.433/.600 over his last seven games. He's locked into the middle of the Seattle lineup, […]

Mitch Haniger Scores A Run In Return

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger returned to the lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins after missing two consecutive games. He batted in the third spot and went 1-for-4 with a run scored. Fantasy managers were surely pleased to see Haniger back so quickly, and he'll look to pick up where he left off before […]

He struck out four batters and took the loss, dropping his season record to 5-6. Sheffield has a 5.51 ERA and 1.65 WHIP for the season. There really aren't any […]

Martinez has posted a relatively disappointing .740 OPS over his past 30 games, but he has not put together a seven-game hit streak, and has reached base in 11 of his past 12 contests. […]

Xander Bogaerts Records Three Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had yet another big game Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs, and an RBI. Bogaerts has produced an outstanding .360/.452/.880 slash line with three home runs over his last seven games. He now has 33 extra-base hits on the season, and is making a case that he […]

Rafael Devers Gets On Base Three Times Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers reached base three times Wednesday night, going 1-for-3 with two walks, a run, and an RBI. Devers has been seeing the ball very well of late, slashing .379/.419/.621 over his past seven games. There's simply no way fantasy managers could justify taking Devers out of the lineup, even […]

Hunter Renfroe Drives In Two Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe drove in two runs Wednesday, going 2-for-5 against the Atlanta Braves with a double and a run scored. Renfroe now has had two hits in back-to-back games, and has produced an .891 OPS over his last seven games after an equally torrid June. Though known as a power-only fantasy […]

Christian Arroyo Hits Pinch-Hit Grand Slam

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo played the hero once again Wednesday night, pinch-hitting with the bases loaded and producing a go-ahead grand slam. The home run, Arroyo's fourth of the season, put the Red Sox ahead for good. Arroyo is slugging .619 over his last seven games, and has home runs in three […]

Christian Vazquez Exits With Stomach Illness

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (illness) left Wednesday night's game early, and was replaced by fellow backstop Kevin Plawecki. It was later reported that this was not the result of any injury, but that he had been experiencing a "stomach illness." He was 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored before exiting. Fantasy […]

Adam Ottavino Collects Fourth Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino collected his fourth save of the year Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits to the Atlanta Braves in a 10-8 victory.

Garrett Richards Knocked Out After Four Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards allowed six runs Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves, four of which were earned. He lasted just four innings and gave up seven hits and a walk in four innings in an outing where his spin rates were noticeably down. He did strike out three batters. With a 1.61 […]

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles continued his recent struggles on Wednesday, going 0-for-4 at the plate in a 3-1 victory over the Pirates.
