DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/2/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

And then there were two. After the Cubs-Marlins rainout and the Padres' offensive explosion, we head into Friday with only a two-game slate.  Not getting too cute with pitching would be my approach. There is really only one clear option, outlined below, so you can always differentiate with bats. Yu Darvish remains the obvious pitching target. […]

Mitch Moreland Returns To DH Spot For Game 2 Thursday

San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Mitch Moreland will take over DH duties for Game 2 of Thursday’s wild-card series versus the Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright.

Daniel Vogelbach Not At Full Strength Ahead Of Game 1

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach (quad) is batting cleanup for Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Los Angeles and right-hander Walker Buehler, but manager Craig Counsell indicated that Vogelbach is far from 100 percent entering the series. Having battled a quad injury since Sunday, Vogelbach is healthy enough to swing the bat […]

Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Edwin Rios will serve as the designated hitter for Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Milwaukee and left-hander Brent Suter.

Jesus Aguilar Goes Yard In Wednesday's Playoff Win

Miami Marlins first baseman/designated hitter Jesus Aguilar hit a home run in Wednesday's wild-card playoff win. He ended up 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored, hitting the homer and a double as well. Aguilar had an outstanding bounce-back campaign for the Marlins and should be a key piece in the postseason lineup, likely […]

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/designated hitter Matt Davidson and outfielder Travis Jankowski have been selected for the club’s wild-card series roster against Atlanta prior to Game 1 on Wednesday.

Cristian Pache, Pablo Sandoval Join Wild-Card Series Roster

Atlanta Braves outfielder Cristian Pache and first/third baseman Pablo Sandoval were both added to the club’s wild-card series roster prior to Game 1 on Wednesday. Pache, Atlanta’s top prospect and the No. 10 overall prospect in the Majors, received just four regular-season at-bats, but figures to be utilized for his defensive acumen and baserunning abilities. […]

Reviewing Kyle Bishop's 10 Bold Predictions for 2020

My bold predictions for the 2020 season were published on March 4, or roughly a week before everything went to hell. At the time, nobody knew that we'd be left with a 60-game sprint as opposed to the usual marathon of 162. The shortened season obviously changed the calculus a great deal, but it can […]

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in the Mets' 15-5 brutal loss to the Nationals on Sunday in their season finale.

Luke Voit Finishes Season With League-High 22 Home Runs

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit was hitless in three at-bats against the Marlins on Sunday, but that didn’t stop him from finishing the regular season with an MLB-best 22 home runs.
