DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/29/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 5-game main slate on tap tonight. Scratch that, now a 4-game main slate with the CWS/DET game getting scratched as it is now a part of a doubleheader. It is an ugly 4-game slate and one that will be pretty chalky at the pitching position but does have a few ways to […]

Mitch Haniger Scratched Wednesday, Could Return Thursday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was scratched from the lineup as a precaution, but is fine and could return to action on Thursday, according to Corey Brock of The Athletic. Manager Scott Servais said that he felt Haniger was "dragging a little bit" and wasn't 100 percent, which is why he decided to scratch Haniger […]

Ryan Weathers Leaves Game After One Inning Wednesday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (arm) exited Wednesday's contest with what was announced as "left arm soreness," according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Weathers allowed one walk in the first inning while throwing 10 of 19 pitches for strikes, before he was replaced by Nick Ramirez in the bottom of the second inning. […]

Bryce Harper OK After Pitch Hits His Face Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper reported that he was doing fine and CT scans came back normal after he was hit in the face by a fastball on Wednesday night. In a video he posted to Instagram that was shared by the team on Twitter, Harper said that his face "is still there. We're all […]

Wil Myers Clears Contact-Tracing Protocols Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers was a late scratch from the lineup on Wednesday night due to contact-tracing protocols, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Myers was replaced in the lineup shortly before first pitch, but he has since cleared protocols and should return to the lineup on Thursday. He has been off to […]

Welcome to the April 29th edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself. It has a way of bringing people together to share different opinions about the sport we all love. A similar action can be done with fantasy baseball where we not only discuss topics […]

Luis Torrens Has A Big Day At The Plate

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens provided plenty of offense against the Houston Astros Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored. Torrens seemed to have Zack Greinke's number as both hits came off the accomplished starter. Torrens is off to a difficult start to the year, with a […]

Kyle Lewis Hits Second Home Run

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis has been back from the injured list for less than a week, but he's already making his presence felt. Lewis hit his second home run of the season Wednesday, driving a Brandon Bielak slider over the left-field fence in Houston. It was his only hit of the game. While Lewis's […]

Rafael Montero Gives Up Four Runs

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero entered Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros to protect a two-run lead, and by the time his line was finished, the Mariners were trailing by two. Over 2/3 of an inning, Montero allowed four runs (only two of which were earned) on three hits and a walk. He certainly […]

Justin Dunn Pitches Well In No-Decision

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn came up one out short of a quality start Wednesday, but he pitched well and left in position to get the win. Over 5 2/3 innings, Dunn allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two. Unfortunately, Dunn was left with only a no-decision when […]

Austin Nola Activated From Injured List

The San Diego Padres activated catcher Austin Nola (finger) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned young backstop Luis Campusano to the alternate site. Victor Caratini, who filled in admirably for the injured backstop, received the start on Wednesday with Nola available off the bench. Caratini, however, has struggled to hit for any power this season, accumulating […]

Bo Bichette Continues To Bounce Back

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette continues to rebound with a big game against Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The young infielder hit a solo homer while going 2-for-4 against Erick Fedde and Daniel Hudson. After putting up zero hits in his last series against the Boston Red Sox, Bichette now has back-to-back multi-hit efforts at […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Snaps Homerless Drought

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ended his season-long homerless skid during the team's 8-2 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday. He took Erick Fedde deep in the fifth inning for a solo shot as he finished the game going 1-for-3 with a walk. Gurriel has gotten off to a sluggish start to his […]

Adam Frazier Gets Multiple Hits Against Royals

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Adam Frazier continued his multi-hit ways with two hits and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Kansas City Royals. Unlikely to find a consistent power stroke, Frazier just keeps getting on base any way he can as this was his third multi-hit game over his past six contests. Frazier entered […]

Sonny Gray Strikes Out 11 In Loss

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed two runs over 5 2/3 innings of work in an 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Gray struck out 11 and walked three. Despite his strong outing, the veteran hurler took a hard-luck loss in the contest, dropping his record to 0-2 through three starts. Overall, […]

Steven Matz Falls Back To Earth Against Nationals

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz took his first loss of the season against the Nationals on Wednesday, allowing six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings. The lefty served up eight hits and a walk while striking out a pair in the short outing after beginning the season with four-straight stellar performances. His 2.31 […]

Nick Pivetta Looks Strong Again Versus Mets

Boston Red Sox hurler Nick Pivetta looked like an ace Wednesday as he silenced the New York Mets' bats over five innings. Just one single combined with three bases on balls was all Pivetta allowed. He has quietly become a weekly go-to starter in all fantasy formats since his move to Boston last season. He's had […]

Domingo German Tosses Seven Scoreless Innings In Win

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German had his second consecutive strong outing in Wednesday's win over the Orioles. German tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while fanning six batters. The 28-year-old looked very sharp and didn't allow a hit until the bottom half of the fifth inning. German showcased […]

Kyle Hendricks Continues Rocky Start To Season

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks put together another dud of a performance on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Braves. Hendricks went 3 2/3 innings and allowed 11 hits, seven runs, zero walks and struck out three on the evening. Hendricks once again got hurt by the home run ball. Hendricks only allowed 10 home runs […]

Domingo German Holds Orioles Scoreless

New York Yankees starter Domingo German bewildered the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday and scattered three singles and a walk across seven scoreless innings. Entering the game, German was coming off his best start of the season against Cleveland where he allowed two earned across six innings. German now appears to have returned to his 2019 […]

Tyler Glasnow Returns To Form Against Oakland

Tampa Bay Rays ace Tyler Glasnow returned to form Wednesday by striking out 10 Oakland Athletics while picking up the win. This was his third win of the season and his fifth start allowing one or fewer earned runs. The lone exception was his last start against the in-division rival Toronto Blue Jays. Impressively, Glasnow's […]

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen came through with a 17-point, 13-rebound double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 3-for-6 at the foul line.

Seth Curry Finishes With 20 Points Against Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry racked up 20 points, three rebounds, and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Hawks. Despite the encouraging performance, the 30-year-old is averaging 12 points per game this season and has not been much of a factor for Philly. In fact, the last time Curry posted more […]

Darius Garland Scores Game-High 25 Points With 10 Assists

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland recorded a second consecutive double-double on Wednesday, scoring a game-high 25 points and dishing out 10 assists in a 109-104 loss against Orlando. He finished with 10-for-24 shooting which included a 2-for-9 effort from outside. Garland also picked up four steals and two rebounds with six turnovers in 39 […]

Nick Senzel Picks Up Four Hits, Steals A Base

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went 4-for-4 with a steal in an 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing in the loss. Senzel's four-hit game was the lone bright spot for a Reds team that has lost eight of its last 10 games. The young outfielder is now […]
