DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/24/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Thursday night with a 6 game slate on tap. It is a pretty straight forward slate as there are many high-priced pitchers to target. There are the lock and load play of Corbin Burns and then looking for an SP2. The bats, on the other hand, they are aplenty. They are also […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/24/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Welcome to the final wacky and wild Thursday slate of the 2020 regular season. If it seems like just two months ago that we were kicking off this column with a two-game slate of Yankees-Nationals and Giants-Dodgers, well, it’s because we were.  But fast-forward to Sept. 24 and we get to welcome in the final […]

Rhys Hoskins Not Likely To Return This Season

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (elbow) is more than likely done for the remainder of 2020. Hoskins is still not ready to hit in any capacity, which all but officially rules him out for the rest of the regular season, at the very least. Even if Philadelphia makes the postseason, manager Joe Girardi believes […]

Matt Olson Heads To Bench Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson is not among the starting nine for Wednesday’s contest versus the Dodgers and right-hander Joe Kelly. Olson, who is slated to miss his first game of the season, has been quiet at the dish over the previous 10 days, ceding way to Mark Canha, who will hold down the […]

Josh Bell Absent From Starting Lineup Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell is not starting Wednesday versus Chicago and right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Colin Moran shifts over to first base, with Jose Osuna holding down the DH spot. Bell is in a ferociously cold slump, having gone 0-for-19 over his last seven games with two walks and nine strikeouts. After an […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/23/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We have a hefty 14-gamer on Wednesday's DraftKings slate. There are a plethora of top arms to choose from in Bieber, Bauer, Giolito, Grienke, Glasnow, and Maeda, while there are also plenty of offenses to target with a nice mix of terrible and inexperienced pitching at the bottom. I'll be going through some of the […]

Slumping Pete Alonso Has Big Night On Tuesday

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and drove in three runs in the Mets' 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. Coming into the game, Alonso had been in a 2-for-34 slump. Tuesday's game exemplified precisely why managers must remain patient with Alonso […]

Anthony Rizzo Is Heating Up

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went yard for his 10th home run of the season on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rizzo has heated up lately and finished the game 2-for-3. The first baseman is getting hot at the right time for both the Cubs and fantasy managers and he is now hitting .220 […]

Travis Shaw Dealing With Back Spasms

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Travis Shaw was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to back spasms. In his absence, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. filled in at first base while Randal Grichuk served as the designated hitter. Shaw is being treated as day-to-day, but he is not a sizable loss for fantasy managers either way. […]

Colin Moran Getting The Day Off On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team faces Jose Quintana and the Chicago Cubs. Jose Osuna is getting the start at first with Josh Bell at designated hitter in the game. Moran was scorching hot to start the year with an OPS of 1.260 in July. […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Two-Start Pitchers and Category-Specific Hitters

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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/22/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Saturday night with an 11 game slate on tap. Quite the slate without clear aces on the mound, you know it is interesting when Zach Davies is the most expensive pitcher. There are bats for days and a lot of the top options cost quite a bit of money. There will have […]

Pete Alonso Remains In September Slump

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso went 0-for-4 in the Mets' 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. Alonso is now in a 2-for-34 slump which has lowered his average all the way down to .202 on the season. Coming off of a breakout rookie campaign in 2019, it was anticipated that […]
