DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (Early Slate - 6/1/23): MLB DFS Lineups

MLB chopped today up so well that neither site really knows which is the "main" slate. So we will go with the prime-time selections as the "main" slate and treat the early games as the "early." I'll pull double duty and cover them both so we all have some good DFS plays no matter which […]

Brandon Lowe Hits Ninth Home Run

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe hit his ninth homer of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. Lowe tallied just one hit on Wednesday through four plate appearances and struck out two times. The second baseman has been slumping all at the plate after missing the bulk of the 2022 […]

Mookie Betts Launches Two Homers On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar outfielder Mookie Betts hit two home runs in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Washington Nationals. Betts went 2-for-5 at the plate, with both of his homers being solo shots. Despite an impressive day at the plate for Betts, the Dodgers' offense fell short and was capped at just six runs. The […]

Jose Altuve Taking A Seat Wednesday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins. After starting the team's last six games, the veteran 33-year-old will get a breather. Altuve has only played in nine contests because of a fractured thumb he suffered while playing in the World Baseball Classic, but […]

Nolan Gorman Goes Hitless Again As Cardinals Avoid Series Loss

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman went hitless again on Tuesday as his team avoided a series sweep against the Kansas City Royals. Gorman went 0-for-6 in the two-game series against the Royals and has hit .120 over his last seven games. The 23-year-old infielder has made immense strides this season and will hope to […]

Gleyber Torres Shines Again In Yankees' Fourth Straight Win

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had another great game as his team won its fourth straight game on Tuesday night.

In the series against Seattle, the 26-year-old second baseman is 4-for-11 and has scored […]

Kevin Newman Getting An Opportunity In The Leadoff Spot Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kevin Newman is getting a shot out of the leadoff spot Wednesday night against Red Sox left-hander James Paxton. It's just the second start of the season out of the leadoff spot for Newman who has logged four two-hit efforts with three doubles, three runs, five RBI, and a stolen base over […]

Adam Frazier Hitting Leadoff Again Wednesday Afternoon

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier is hitting in the leadoff spot Wednesday afternoon against Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber. This appears to be confirmation that the leadoff spot against right-handed pitchers belongs to Frazier in the absence of Cedric Mullins who is on the injured list with a groin injury. The move up the […]

Do These Prospects Matter For Fantasy Baseball? Elly De La Cruz, James Wood, Luis Matos, Jeferson Quero, AJ Smith-Shawver

One of the ways to evaluate prospects when considering players for dynasty league fantasy baseball is age relative to level. Essentially, that means that even if a guy isn't putting up incredible stats, if he's 3-5 years younger than the average player at his level, you'll likely see him get plenty of attention on prospect […]

Jordan Westburg - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, 2B/3B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: With a recent injury to Cedric Mullins, it's not out of the question to see Jordan Westburg brought up if Mullins lands on the IL. While Westburg has been primarily an infielder as a professional, he's had a little time in the outfield and is athletic enough to make […]

PROSPECT: Ronny Mauricio, 2B/SS, New York Mets ANALYSIS: Last week, I mentioned how Ronny Mauricio was playing more second base lately which is usually indicative of a promotion in the near future.

New York Mets shortstop prospect Ronny Mauricio extended his on-base streak to 19 games with a single on Monday for the Syracuse Mets. The 22-year-old has been on a tear in May, slashing .362/.404/.543 with 16 extra-base hits. However, Mauricio only has one home run in May, but he is making a ton of contact and limiting […]

Baltimore Orioles infield prospect Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and an additional run scored on Tuesday for the Norfolk Tides. Westburg is slashing .316/.388/.610 with 14 homers and five stolen bases across 209 plate appearances in Triple-A. The 24-year-old has also proven himself to be very consistent through the first two months […]

David Villar Sent To Triple-A On Tuesday

The San Francisco Giants have demoted infielder David Villar to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 26-year-old has suffered a horrible season at the dish, slashing .135/.222/.292 with four homers, 10 runs, 11 RBI, and one steal across 32 games after posting a .787 OPS over 52 […]

Alex Call Getting A Rest Tuesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Alex Call is out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Tony Gonsolin and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Call has been cold all season with the bat, hitting .209 with three home runs and three steals across 52 games. Instead, Ildemaro Vargas will see time in left and bat ninth. Through 16 […]

Miguel Vargas Absent On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Miguel Vargas is missing from Tuesday's lineup for the game against Jake Irvin and the Washington Nationals. The rookie infielder is slashing .225/.328/.414 with five home runs, 26 runs, 25 RBI, and two steals over 51 games. Mookie Betts will move over to the keystone, and Jason Heyward will take […]

Owen Miller Returning On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller (forearm) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Miller was pulled from Sunday's contest after getting hit by a pitch in the forearm. It appears the extra rest day on Monday was all Miller needed to get back to full health. He'll cover […]

Jeff McNeil Back In Action Against Phillies

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil (groin) has returned to the lineup on Tuesday. He is starting at the keystone and is hitting seventh in the batting order against Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez. Mild groin tightness kept the 31-year-old veteran infielder out of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies, but after Monday's off […]

Romy Gonzalez Goes Deep Again Monday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Romy Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with his second home run in as many days, an RBI, run scored and a strikeout in the 6-4 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Memorial Day on Monday evening. Gonzalez didn't record a single hit in his first 58 trips to the plate […]

Elvis Andrus Should Rejoin The Team This Week

Chicago White Sox infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) left the team on May 27 to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Manager Pedro Grifol said that as long as all goes well, Andrus should rejoin the big-league club at some point during their June 2-4 home series against the Detroit Tigers this weekend. The […]

Endy Rodriguez Has Four Knocks

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher prospect Endy Rodriguez went 4-for-5 with three runs and one RBI on Monday for Triple-A Indianapolis. Rodriguez, 23, is now hitting .234 with four homers and 14 RBI. The backstop was great last year between High-A and Triple-A with a .323 batting average to go along with 25 homers and 95 RBI, […]

The 33-year-old has now homered in back-to-back games and owns a .355/.444/.645 slash line in his first eight games. Fantasy managers will be glad […]

Jorge Polanco Could Return Soon

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) did sprints and running drills on the field before the team's game on Sunday and looked pretty good. Polanco could return soon from the injured list. The 29-year-old infielder is already eligible to return from the 10-day injured list, and his activation could come as early as Tuesday. […]

Ketel Marte Resting On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is not in the team's starting lineup on Monday against right-hander Karl Kauffmann and the Colorado Rockies. Marte has had at least one hit in eight of his last nine starts, but he'll get a breather to begin the week on Memorial Day. He's been very strong at the […]
