Yasmani Grandal Resting On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's clash with the Detroit Tigers. The 31-year-old has had an unassuming start to the 2020 season, so hopefully the rest revitalizes him. In his absence, James McCann will start behind the plate and bat fifth against Matthew Boyd and the Tigers. […]

Welcome back to "Are You For Real?" Each week, we look at lower-owned starting pitchers who have performed unexpectedly well in their last outing(s).

Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds - Exit Velocity (Week 4)

We're off and running on our Statcast Hitter Studs/Duds series! Many fantasy baseball owners are starting to see the value of MLB's Statcast advanced stats in order to help identify potential risers and sleepers. Just as we do for pitchers, this weekly series will examine a handful of hitters who are performing surprisingly well or […]

Marcus Smart Just Misses A Double-Double

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart looked great in 29 minutes off the bench as he scored 11 points and added nine assists in the win over the Grizzlies. Smart connected on 3-for-7 shooting from the floor and added three rebounds with a steal in this one. The Celtics are healthy entering the playoffs and Smart […]

Yoan Moncada Getting Day Off On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. White Sox manager Rick Renteria had mentioned that Moncada was dealing with some fatigue, so this is a planned day off. In his absence, Ryan Goins will start at third base and bat ninth against […]

Eddie Rosario Cranks Two Homers

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in a 6-4 loss to the Brewers. Rosario's first homer in the first inning tied him with Max Kepler for the team lead while his second gave him the lead. That's three long-balls and seven RBI in two days for the […]

Kemba Walker Registers Efficient 19 Points

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker needed just 10 shots (making seven of them) to record 19 points in the win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Walker also nailed two triples to go along with four boards and three steals in the fine-tuning game for the Celtics. Walker and the Celtics take on the Wizards on Thursday […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Next In Line and Hot Starters

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]

Marcell Ozuna Blasts Three-Run Shot On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the New York Yankees. The 29-year-old has had a productive start to the season with his new team, slashing .272/.329/.530 with four HRs, 11 RBI, and 11 runs scored. The main concern with Ozuna is his strikeout totals, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/12/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

Welcome to Wednesday where we have a modest eight-game slate featuring limited pitching options and tons of teams to consider stacking. Coors is out of play on the main slate, but there's certainly no shortage of gas-cans and inexperienced pitchers to take advantage of. I'll be going through some of the best plays at each […]

Nemanja Bjelica Fills Up Stat Sheet In Win

Sacramento Kings power forward Nemanja Bjelica played a heavy 33 minutes and made the most of his time by filling up the box score in the six-point win over the Pelicans on Tuesday. Bjelica scored 13 points while adding five rebounds with two assists and two steals with a block. We know when the Serbian […]

Tony Gonsolin Starting On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin will be called up to start Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. His appearance will push Julio Urias's next start back to Thursday.

Taylor Rogers Saddled With The Loss Tuesday

Minnesota Twins closer Taylor Rogers worked in a non-save situation on Tuesday against the Brewers and picked up his second loss of the season. Rogers surrendered two runs on a home run to Jedd Gyorko and now has a bloated 5.68 ERA, despite how sharp he's looked for the majority of his appearances. This performance […]

Ross Stripling Victimized By Throwing Errors Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Ross Stripling allowed six runs (two earned) on six hits across 4 2/3 innings of work during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the San Diego Padres. He struck out four while walking two. Stripling was cruising until the third inning, when a pair of throwing errors gave way to a grand slam […]

Harrison Barnes Leads Kings With 25 Points In Win Over Pels

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes took on the extra workload with De'Aaron Fox sitting out this one. Barnes connected on 9-for-19 shooting en route to 25 points and added eight boards with two assists and two blocks without committing a single turnover in 37 minutes in the win over the Pelicans. We can assume Barnes […]

Harry Giles Plays Well Off The Bench In Loss

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Harry Giles recorded his first double-double since February 22nd in the win over the Pelicans on Tuesday. Giles was not so efficient from the floor as he connected on just 6-for-17 shooting, but he still managed to record 12 points while gathering 11 boards with three assists to go along with […]

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris blew his first save of the season Tuesday in a 10-9 loss to the Orioles. Neris allowed three earned runs, three hits, two walks and struck out two. Neris allowed a game-tying single to Renato Nunez to blow the save, but he should have been out of the inning […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/12/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Woof, maybe I need to go back to the KBO (/s). The Bal/Phi under was safe until the bottom of the eighth, after which 11 runs were scored into extra innings. What a debacle. Later on, the Rangers were able to tag Marco Gonzales for four runs early, but they didn't score after he left […]

Washington’s Backfield Without Derrius Guice: Addition By Subtraction?

Less than a month ago, we took an in-depth fantasy look at the Washington Football Team's (otherwise known as the 'Washington No Names') backfield situation. Back then, Washington's RB unit looked to be a free-for-all brawl. The odds favored Derrius Guice getting a majority of the backfield’s early-down work. Adrian Peterson was set up to […]
