Marina Rodriguez Looks To Keep Her Unbeaten Streak Alive

Marina Rodriguez (12-0-2) is 2-0-2 in the UFC after a draw in her last bout with Cynthia Calvillo. She also had a draw in her first UFC bout and decision wins in her second and third bouts. Rodriguez has a very solid 5.82 significant strikes per minute. Facing a wrestling-based fighter, Rodriguez has an 85% […]

Dustin May Starting Opener For Dodgers

With Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) going on the injured list with back stiffness, the team recalled starter Dustin May, who will make the start against the Giants on Opening Night on Thursday. It will be May's first career Opening Day start, and he will become the first Dodger rookie to start […]

Ryan Blaney Is A Gamble At Kansas

In the last six races at Kansas Speedway, only three drivers have posted a better driver rating than Ryan Blaney. Unfortunately, his average finish of 17.33 in those races is over seven positions worse than those drivers. Blaney will cost fantasy players $700 less than two of those three drivers ahead of him in driver […]

Aric Almirola Looks To Stay Hot At Kansas

Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola has been as consistent as any driver in the Cup Series as of late with seven consecutive top-10 finishes, a streak he will look to extend at Kansas Speedway. Almirola will start the race third, putting him in a prime position to compete for a win. Fantasy players should also feel […]

Clayton Kershaw Placed On Injured List With Back Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) has been placed on the injured list due to back stiffness, sidelining him ahead of what was planned to be his Opening Day start Thursday against the Giants. Right-handed pitcher Dustin May has been recalled and will take Kershaw’s spot on the mound. Kershaw has battled back […]

Free agent right-handed pitcher Matt Harvey is nearing an agreement with the Kansas City Royals on a Minor League deal for the upcoming 2020 season, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network. With the Royals’ Opening Day rotation in flux, the addition of Harvey’s veteran arm could help stabilize the starting staff. He last appeared in […]

Andrew Stevenson in Nationals Opening Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson is batting eighth for the season opener Thursday against the Yankees. With Juan Soto out with an asymptomatic case of coronavirus, the Nationals turn to the 26-year-old Stevenson. Stevenson had some very small-sample success buoyed by a .579 BABIP in 2019, but his career wRC+ is 69. Avoid him in […]

Tommy La Stella Has Sleeper Value

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella was cruising towards an All-Star appearance last season until a fractured leg submarined his season. Through the first 78 games in 2019, La Stella surprised many by slashing .300/.353/.495 with 16 home runs and 44 runs batted in before missing practically the rest of the season. Now La […]

DJ LeMahieu Could Start On Saturday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu could start at second base for Saturday’s game against the Nationals, according to manager Aaron Boone. LeMahieu is available off of the bench on Thursday, but the Yankees want the 32-year-old to get more live at-bats in before rejoining the lineup after he missed time with a positive […]

Albert Pujols Brings Power, Little Else

Los Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols may not garner a ton of fantasy buzz this season but still drove in 93 runs last season. The 40-year-old slugger enters the season with 656 career home runs and may not be the feared hitter that he was of years past but posted his best slugging […]

Andrelton Simmons Aims To Regain Form

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons is flying under the fantasy radar heading into the 2020 season. Few doubt Simmons' defensive ability but injuries resulted in a step backwards offensively last season. After hitting .292 with 11 home runs and 75 runs batted in during the 2018 campaign, an ankle injury and poor second half […]

Can Justin Upton Bounce Back?

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will enter the 2020 season with plenty to prove. While many are focusing on the team's acquisition of Anthony Rendon this past offseason, it was only a few seasons ago that Upton was the headline signing. But injuries completely derailed his 2019 season and appeared in only 63 games […]

Mike Trout Speaks, Will Play

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout made his intentions about the 2020 season loud and clear; "I'm playing". The All-World slugger has made his discomfort known through the course of this proposed reset for weeks now, especially with his wife expecting their first child around August 3. But Trout appears to be comfortable enough with […]

Brian Anderson And The Marlins Are Talking Extension

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson has reportedly had initial discussions with the team about signing a contract extension. It sounds like the team threw out the idea of five years, $30 million, but that's no more than a starting point and certainly won't get it done. Anderson is under team control through 2023, so […]

Giovanny Gallegos Expected To Join The Team Soon

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Giovanny Gallegos (undisclosed) is expected to join the Cardinals in a few days. The team listed just 29 players on the Opening Day 30-man roster, saving a spot for Gallegos. He is a bit behind due to reporting late to Summer Camp, but should be back in the bullpen before […]

Anthony Rendon Unlikely For Opening Day

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (oblique) is unlikely to play on Opening Day and may even miss the first few games. Manager Joe Maddon told reporters that Rendon is "on a good path" but to expect the Angels big-time offseason acquisition to miss the first couple of games. The injury does not appear […]

Carla Esparza Can Make It Four In A Row With A Victory

Carla Esparza (16-6), the UFC's first strawweight champion, is on fire lately, winning her last three in a row. Through 11 UFC bouts, Esparza averages 3.53 takedowns per 15 minutes. She also averages only 2.22 significant strikes per minute. DraftKings has Esparza listed at $7,600. She is actually listed lower than her opponent, Marina Rodriguez. […]

Tyler Wade Starting At Second Base Over DJ LeMahieu

New York Yankees infielder Tyler Wade is starting at second base for the team over DJ LeMahieu on Thursday. LeMahieu is still getting back into game shape after a relatively brief coronavirus-related absence, but the 32-year-old is likely to return to the Yankee lineup within the next week. Until LeMahieu returns, Wade will start at […]

Juan Soto Tests Positive for Coronavirus

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto was placed on the injured list Thursday with the novel coronavirus. He is asymptomatic but nonetheless won't be able to play until tested negative. Remove him from your lineups for now, of course, but keep him on your roster. Soto's likely replacement until he returns is likely to be Michael […]

Cowboys Sign First-Rounder CeeDee Lamb

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb signed his rookie contract and will report to rookie camp. The four-year contract is worth $14.01, fully guaranteed, with a fifth-year option which is standard for first-round picks. Rookies have not gotten traditional offseason workouts so it is good news Lamb is signed and can report to the team […]

Edward Olivares' Strong Camp Pays Off

San Diego Padres outfielder Edward Olivares is on the Opening Day roster. Arguably the most impressive player in Friars camp, the 24-year-old earns a big-league opportunity after registering a strong 123 wRC+ while cranking 18 homers and swiping 35 bags in Double-A last year. The team’s unsung No. 19 prospect will platoon as a right-handed […]
