Let's get down to business! In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel […]

Brandon Belt Scratched With Knee Soreness

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) was scratched from the lineup on Saturday with knee soreness. Infielder Chase D'Arnaud replaced him at first base. Belt continues to deal with knee issues and could need offseason surgery to correct the issue. On the year, he's hitting .260/.348/.426 with 14 home runs, 46 RBI and […]

Ryan Braun is Sitting Out on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This appears to be a routine rest day for Braun. Curtis Granderson will draw the start in right field and bat fifth versus righty Chris Stratton. Granderson could be worth a look as a […]

Justin Bour, Wilson Ramos Starting on Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour and catcher Wilson Ramos are both back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. Bour will draw the start at first base and bat second, while Ramos will start behind the plate and bat third versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Both Bour and Ramos are […]

Rowdy Tellez Doubles Twice On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez was 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. Tellez now has six doubles in his first 10 plate appearances in the big leagues. Tellez was decent in Triple-A Buffalo this season with a .270 average, 13 homers, […]

Justin Smoak Out Of Saturday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Justin Smoak is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians. Smoak is coming off of a 0-for-4 performance with four strikeouts in Friday's game, so the rest day is warranted. Rowdy Tellez will man first base while Kendrys Morales serves as the designated hitter. Both are worth […]

Paul Goldschmidt Reaches Base Five Times

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-2 with a home run, a single, three walks and a run scored in Friday's win over the Braves. Goldschmidt opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning and scored another run on a Daniel Descalso single in the third. Goldschmidt has now hit […]

Ryan O'Hearn (1B, KC) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn has come out of nowhere to be a fantasy asset to close the season. In 61 at bats against righties this year, O'Hearn is batting .361 with eight homers and a 1.311 OPS. That is a […]

Joey Votto Strikes Out Three Times Friday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto went 1-for-4 with a single and three strikeouts in his team's 12-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday. The one-hit game drops Votto's batting average to .282 on the season and you have to go all the way back to July 24 for Votto's last three-strikeout game. […]

Ji-Man Choi Has Grand Game Against Baltimore Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi showed off his power again Friday versus the Orioles. Choi would walk three times but the one time he did record a hit, it was a grand slam. He would also come around to score earlier in the game. Choi now has seven HR this season in limited […]

Jurickson Profar is Sitting Out on Friday

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Profar is hitting .304/.385/.565 with one home run and four RBI over the last week. The Rangers just wanted to give him an off day to rest on Friday. Ronald Guzman will play first base and […]

Austin Jackson, Wilmer Flores Out on Friday

New York Mets outfielder Austin Jackson (rest) and infielder Wilmer Flores (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It appears both players are just getting a routine off day on Friday. Brandon Nimmo will lead off and play center field, while Dominic Smith will play first base and […]

C.J. Cron is Out Again on Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This is the second straight game that Cron has missed in a row. It does not sound like Cron is suffering from an injury. It appears the Rays would rather use Jake Bauers and […]

Kendrys Morales is Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Justin Smoak was given an off day on Thursday, so it's Morales' turn to take a seat. The Jays want to give Rowdy Tellez some playing time, but he can only play first base […]

Ryan Zimmerman is Back in the Lineup Friday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Zimmerman was given an off day on Thursday, but did come in to take an at-bat off the bench. He'll play first base and bat fifth versus lefty Jon Lester. Zimmerman hits left-handed pitching fairly well, […]

Tyler Austin Bothered By Stiff Back

Minnesota Twins first baseman Tyler Austin (back) is still dealing with a stiff back, and the Twins will "go slowly" with him, according to manager Paul Molitor. Austin has hit .243/.308/.557 with seven home runs and 11 RBI in his 70 at-bats with the Twins in 2018 and is really only an AL-only depth option. […]

Rowdy Tellez Smacks Three Doubles In Thursday's Loss

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez was 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians. After doubling in his major league debut on Wednesday, Thursday's performance actually set an MLB record as Tellez became the first player in the live-ball era (since 1920) to ever record an […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 24

The baseball season is on its last legs, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools. Instead of trading assets with other owners, you can "buy" players that have been overlooked or recently discarded on the wire. In this case, think of it […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/7/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, Rotoballers. Boy, do we have a ridiculous treat today in terms of pitching options on this 14-game Main slate. I'd go as far as to say it's a pitching bonanza. I don't think I've had a chance to do a write-up - or even seen, for that matter - a slate with seven […]

Week 24 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Justin Smoak is Out on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Smoak has been a home run machine lately, but he'll receive a rest day on Thursday. Rowdy Tellez will draw the start at first base and bat sixth versus righty Shane Bieber. Tellez does […]

Ryan Zimmerman Not Playing Thursday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Zimm is probably just receiving a rest day. Mark Reynolds will start at first base and is batting sixth against Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks. Reynolds is hitting .800 in just five career at-bats against Hendricks. It's a small sample size, but […]

Ryan O'Hearn Triples, Carries KC Offense

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn was the only one to find a weakness in Corey Kluber's performance on Wednesday as O'Hearn's triple was one of just two hits allowed by the Cy Young winner. Both the team's hits came in the fourth inning when Kluber apparently became human for a few minutes and […]

Kendrys Morales Notches Three Hits Against Rays

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Kendrys Morales was 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and a walk in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Morales has quieted down a bit following his seven-game homer streak as Wednesday's performance was his first multi-hit game since August 25. Morales now has a .261/.341/.468 slash line […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a VERY small four-game slate tonight, which starts early, at 6:40 pm est. That is due to the fact the NFL is kicking off tonight, so we have a very limited slate and the options are a bit thin today. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup […]

Welcome to Week 23 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. September has finally arrived, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade deadlines come and […]
