Welcome to RotoBaller's continued coverage of League of Legends DFS for FanDuel and DraftKings.

LCK & LPL DFS Picks for 8/8/20: DraftKings, FanDuel League of Legends

Tough to complain on a green night, but complaining is my favorite thing to do. I ended up with some sad-looking AFS/JDG (after the contests were over anyway) that struggled to a minimum cash. It's a well-known fact, but every day brings us a chance at redemption. We're ready for the BIG weekend slates and […]

DeMar DeRozan Remains Quiet On Friday

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan recorded only 13 points on 4-for-10 shooting in Friday's win over the Jazz, adding five assists, two steals, and two rebounds. DeRozan had a superb 30-point performance against Philly at the start of the week, but he's now managed only 31 total points across two games. Luckily for […]

Jakob Poeltl Ends Double-Double Drought

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl collected a nice 19-point, 10-rebound double-double in Friday's win over Utah, adding three blocks and a pair of assists. It's his first double-double since a 16-point, 13-rebound effort on Jan. 27 against Chicago. Poeltl has seen his minutes go up with LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) missing, but he's been fairly […]

NASCAR DFS: Building an Optimal Lineup For Saturday's FireKeepers Casino 400

For the second time this season the NASCAR Cup Series will hold a doubleheader, this time at Michigan International Speedway. Bragging rights are on the line, as MIS is located in Chevrolet and Ford's backyard, Detroit. When thinking of Michigan, Ford has had the leg up on the competition over the past number of years. […]

Vince Velasquez To Start Sunday Instead

Philadelphia Phillies starter Vince Velasquez had his start pushed back to Sunday after Friday's game was postponed due to rain. Velasquez wasn't particularly sharp in his first outing, surrendering two long-balls, so perhaps the extra couple days will do him some good. The 28-year-old needs to show better command of his pitches after registering a […]

Derrick White Scores Team-High 24 Points

San Antonio Spurs point guard Derrick White produced his third consecutive 20-point game on Friday, finishing a 119-111 win over Utah with a team-high 24 points on 8-for-15 shooting. He made four triples with nine attempts, adding six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 33 minutes. White has really blossomed since the […]

Rafael Montero Activated From Injured List

Texas Rangers reliever Rafael Montero (elbow) has been activated off the 10-day injured list. Montero threw an inning on Wednesday at the team's alternate training site and it went well so he's now able to join the big club. Texas is in need of a steady presence in the ninth inning after Jose Leclerc (shoulder) […]

Ryan Castellani To Make Major League Debut

Colorado Rockies pitcher Ryan Castellani will make his big-league debut on Saturday against the Mariners. Castellani was recalled from the team's alternate training site after fifth starter Chi Chi Gonzalez (biceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list with biceps tendonitis. Castellani pitched in just 10 starts last year because of bone fragments in his […]

Braves and Phillies Game Postponed Due To Weather

Friday's game between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies has been postponed due to inclement weather. The teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday. Owners in daily lineup formats and DFS players should remove any Braves and Phillies in their lineups.

Joey Gallo Absent From Rangers Lineup On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is absent from the lineup on Friday against the Angels due to a sore right wrist. This is the same wrist he had surgery on in 2019, but apparently the issue is not related. As a result, this should not be a cause for any concern at least at this […]

Calvin Ridley Looking Bigger And Stronger

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is looking "bigger and stronger" according to head coach Dan Quinn. Quinn said that Ridley had a good offseason and is coming into training camp hungry. The Alabama product is a popular pick for a third-year breakout after he was well on his way towards his first 1000-yard season […]

Jake Cronenworth Batting Fifth For Padres On Friday

San Diego Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth is again batting fifth for the Padres when they take on Luke Weaver and the Diamondbacks on Friday. Cronenworth is off to a hot start on the season posting a .318/.348/.727 line with one home run and three RBI in 23 plate appearances. Cronenworth has taken over everyday […]

Khris Davis Gets Start On Friday Against Righty

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis is in the lineup on Friday batting sixth against righty Zack Greinke of Houston. Davis is off to a very slow start on the season, hitting just .185 in 27 at-bats with one home run and four RBI. Davis will need to break out of his slump and put […]

Dominic Smith In Lineup At First Base For Mets On Friday

New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith is in the Mets lineup on Friday against righty Humberto Mejia and the Marlins. Smith is batting sixth and makes for a great contrarian option at first base in DFS leagues on Friday. In 25 plate appearances so far this season, Smith is hitting an underwhelming .222, but […]

Amed Rosario Returns To Lineup On Friday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (quad) is back in the Mets lineup on Friday against the Marlins. Rosario will be playing shortstop and batting ninth against Humberto Mejia and the Marlins. Rosario has not appeared in a game since he hurt his quad and exited early from the Mets game on Monday against Atlanta. […]

Kyle Tucker Leading Off Vs Athletics

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will hit leadoff on Friday against Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics. Primary leadoff hitter George Springer (wrist) is sidelined for the game as he deals with a wrist injury that he suffered in Thursday's game. This will be Tucker's second game as a leadoff hitter this year. We've seen […]

Jeff McNeil Returns To Mets Lineup On Friday

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil (back) returned to the Mets lineup Friday against the Marlins. He will be batting second and playing left field. McNeil returns after a three-game absence due to an inter coastal strain issue. McNeil has opened 2020 on a tear with a .343 average in 35 at-bats. He will […]

George Springer Out Of Lineup On Friday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (wrist) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Springer left Thursday's game with a wrist strain and is still nursing the injury. Manager Dusty Baker seems confident that the injury will only cost Springer a few days and won't require a trip to the Injured […]

Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey Getting Reps At First Base

San Francisco Giants top catching prospects Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey have both been getting playing time at first base lately according to manager Gabe Kapler. Both catchers are currently with the Giants' alternate team in Sacramento. Bart played first base in the first inning of the alternate team's scrimmage yesterday. It's an interesting development […]

J.P. Crawford Out Of The Lineup On Friday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford has been a pleasant surprise for the team so far this year. He's slashing .280/.410/.380 with 10 walks and 12 runs through 14 games on the year. Crawford had led off the team's previous nine games but he'll get a day off on Friday. Second baseman Shed Long Jr. is […]

Shed Long Jr. Back In Leadoff Spot On Friday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. began the year as the team's primary leadoff hitter, but his struggles prompted the team to move him down in the order. Since that demotion, he's started to turn a corner. In his past nine games, he's gone 9-for-32 with a home run and two doubles. Long is […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Not In The Lineup On Friday

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera is getting the day off on Friday, his first game off this year. Josh Harrison is getting the start at designated hitter in the game while Carter Kieboom is getting the start at third base. Cabrera is slashing .265/.286/.500 on the year with a home run, three doubles and six […]

Joey Logano Will Start On The Pole At Michigan

Team Penske's Joey Logano will start the FireKeepers Casino 400 at the front of the field and should be a popular pick for DFS lineups. Logano has earned three wins in the cup series at Michigan International Speedway, all of which he earned from the pole position. The No. 22 team has also shown an […]

Joey Gallo Out Of Lineup On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Gallo has a sore wrist that he was able to play through on Thursday. It certainly doesn't sound like anything major for Gallo, who is slashing .250/.362/.550 with three home runs and eight RBI on […]

Robert Gsellman Activated Off The IL

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Gsellman (triceps) was activated off the injured list on Friday. Gsellman missed, roughly, the first two weeks of the 2020 season. In 2019, Gsellman produced a 4.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and struck out 60 in 63 2/3 innings pitched. Gsellman allowed only a 3.7% overall barrel rate and overall […]
