Rhys Hoskins Launches Third Homer Of 2020

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a walk and hit his third home run of the season Wednesday vs the Nationals.

Hot Prospects To Watch: Promising Debuts and Red-Hot Rookies

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 […]

Deep Dive: Jake Cronenworth Every Penny

The kid has been on an absolute tear since getting the everyday job in San Diego. The 26-year-old Jake Cronenworth was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays this offseason. He has been worth every bit of it. He was a speed-first prospect prior to 2019. Cronenworth posted double-digit stolen bases every season from 2015 through […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/26/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

Tuesday night was a doozy. Gerrit Cole and the beautiful-looking Yankees stack wiped out a ton of lineups as the NYY/ATL game got postponed shortly after lock.
