Federated Auto Parts 400: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

If Richmond Raceway was a girl, she wouldn't own a dress, and her hair would always be a mess. That's lyrics from the 1999 hit song "Meet Virginia" by Train, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to write up something corny due to Richmond Virginia housing the corniest short track of our generation (according […]

Mike Tauchman Breaks Hitless Streak With Three-Hit Game

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman broke his four-game hitless streak with a three-hit game against the Orioles on Friday. A small sample size and some bad luck have combined to give Tauchman an exceptionally odd profile; his o-swing (27.2%) and swinging-strike (11.4%) rates are up while his z-swing rate is flat compared to last […]

Masahiro Tanaka Continues Pitching Well On Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka held the Orioles to one run over five innings with five strikeouts and no walks on Friday. A home run off the bat of DJ Steward was the only blemish on Tanaka’s otherwise stellar performance, as he allowed only one hard-hit ball (the home run) and generated a […]

Gerrit Cole Snaps Losing Streak With Dominant Outing

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole shut the Orioles out over seven innings on Friday, snapping a three-game losing streak for his fifth win of the season. Cole’s four-seamer was filthy as it generated 11 whiffs over 58 pitches, and his 24% swinging-strike rate for the game fueled his nine-strikeout performance. When the O’s […]

Keegan Akin Does Not Pitch Past First Inning Friday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Keegan Akin had a very short start in Friday's Game Two 10-1 loss to the Yankees. Akin pitched just 2/3 of an inning, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk with one strikeout. The 25-year-old rookie's first two starts went well, but with this one he now has a […]

Alex Cobb Allows Three Home Runs Friday

Baltimore Orioles Alex Cobb was done in by the long ball in Friday's Game One 6-0 loss to the Yankees. Cobb pitched four innings, allowing five runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and a walk with five strikeouts. Cobb started the season well but has regressed back towards his metrics of the past […]

Christopher Bell A Nice Sleeper DFS Pick For Richmond

Leavine Family Racing's Christopher Bell will start from the 26th position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Bell has had a decent rookie season, with one top-five and five top-10 finishes. Bell will look to give the No. 95 car one final great run before the team shuts down, and Bell […]

Brad Keselowski Starts Ninth At Richmond

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski will start from the ninth position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Keselowski and the No. 2 team have flown under the radar, in 2020, despite winning three races. Keselowski has been solid at Richmond during his career. In 2014, Keselowski scored his only win but almost […]

Lucas Giolito Picks Up No-Decision On Friday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito last 5 2/3 innings Friday night versus the Detroit Tigers. The All-Star allowed four hits, three runs, four walks and recorded seven K’s in a no-decision. Giolito struggled with his control in this contest as evidenced by his four free passes, but managers shouldn’t be worried as it […]

Eloy Jimenez Continues Strong Season

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday’s victory against the Tigers. The sluggers home run ended up being the difference maker and his strong season continues. Jimenez is now hitting .285 with 12 home runs and 33 RBI. One of the games most talented young stars, Jimenez […]

Jon Lester Goes Six Scoreless Innings

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester finally put together a strong start on Friday versus the Brewers. The veteran has really been having a rough season, but threw six scoreless innings Friday night. The lefty only allowed three hits, two walks and struck out eighth. Despite the strong performance, Lester still owns a 5.05 ERA […]

Kyle Busch Looking To Get On The Board At Richmond

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch will begin from the sixth position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Busch comes into Richmond, still looking for his first victory of the 2020 season. Richmond will be one of Busch's best chances to extend his streak, of at least one Cup win in a […]

However, Byron has not fared well in his four career starts at […]

Alshon Jeffery Officially Out For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. The good news is that Jeffery avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the year, but he's expected to miss multiple weeks. The 30-year-old has battled injuries and inconsistency for his fantasy managers […]

Denzel Mims, La'Mical Perine Ruled Out For Season Opener

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) and rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Bills. Mims is dealing with injuries to both of his hamstrings, so he might not even be ready for Week 2. Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan should […]

N'Keal Harry Questionable Against Miami

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) and rookie tight end Dalton Keene (neck) are both questionable for Week 1 against the Dolphins. Harry was reportedly a full practice participant on Friday, so he should be fine to play this weekend. The second-round wideout should see a healthy amount of targets from quarterback Cam […]

Joey Logano Starts On The Front Row At Richmond

Penske Racing's Joey Logano will take off from the second position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Logano had an impressive rebound to end up third, last week at Darlington, after an early incident. Logano comes into Richmond with seven top-10 finishes in his last eight Cup races. Logano has been […]

Mike Williams Officially Questionable Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Week 1 against the Bengals. Williams put in limited practices all week, giving him a chance to suit up in the regular season opener. However, he likely won't be 100 percent, and Philip Rivers was a much better fit for him than Tyrod Taylor […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Won't Play In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Browns. After a quiet rookie season in 2019, Hill doesn't have much of a path for a sophomore improvement in a backfield that also includes Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards and promising […]

Browns Defense To Be Without Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver) and linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens. Cleveland's secondary is short-handed with Williams and Johnson sidelined and rookie safety Grant Delpit on Injured Reserve. That's not a good combination with Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense […]

Denny Hamlin A Strong Contender At Richmond

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin will start from the seventh position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Hamlin comes into Richmond after a disappointing 13th-place finish at Darlington. Hamlin has enjoyed some success at Richmond in the past, winning three races. In 27 career starts, Hamlin has those three wins, 13 […]

Danny Amendola, Jeff Okudah Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (hamstring) are questionable for Week 1 against the Bears. Amendola was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good chance of suiting up. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) doubtful to play, Amendola could see his fair share of targets from quarterback Matthew […]

Matt Chapman Will Receive Second Opinion On Hip Injury

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was once again absent from the club’s lineup Friday due to the hip ailment that has kept him from playing since last Sunday. While Oakland has insisted that Chapman won’t require a stint on the injured list, he will receive a second opinion on his hip. With a whopping […]
