FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/20/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a smaller seven-game slate, where there is one clear top pitching option that you want to pay up for. This leaves plenty of space in tournaments if you choose to pay down since you will have extra salary available. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks […]

Jose Fernandez Out of Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is not in Wednesday's lineup. Jefry Marte is starting in his place, batting fifth. The left-handed hitting Fernandez is likely getting a day off against the left-handed Brett Anderson. Marte is a decent DFS play this evening, hitting behind Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Shohei Ohtani.

Adam Frazier Returns to the Lineup on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Frazier was held out of the lineup on Tuesday due to a sore right knee. He did later came in to bat off the bench, so it appears that this was a minor injury. Frazier […]

Wilmer Flores To Be Evaluated

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) is returning to New York to be checked out by doctors on Wednesday, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Even with the Mets well out of the playoff race, Flores hasn't been playing much and hasn't been very effective when he's been in there. There's a good chance that […]

Garrett Hampson Steals Another Base

Colorado Rockies second baseman/shortstop Garrett Hampson got a rare start on Tuesday night, and he made good on it by knocking a single and stealing his second career base off Clayton Kershaw. Hampson played well at Triple-A this year, and he's the team's likely starting second baseman next year since DJ LeMahieu is a free […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/19/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got a pretty health slate of games on deck tonight for the 7:05 Main slate, which consists of 10 games. It features a few upper tier pitchers and quite a few with a strikeout projection of six or more, which should add some spice to tournament selection. As it's customary at this point, let's […]

Lourdes Gurriel Delivers Two RBI On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Lourdes Gurriel was 2-for-3 with two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Gurriel has rebounded in the past few games to help offset a dismal cold streak. The 24-year-old is carrying a .282 average on the season with eight homers, 30 RBI, and 27 runs scored in 227 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/19/18): MLB DFS Lineups

As is the case most Wednesdays, we have games that are broken down into two slates. There is a smaller early slate with a 10 game late (main) slate. The larger later slate is the one we will be focusing on here. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup […]

Rougned Odor Struggling In September

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is having a September to forget. Coming off two hot months where he hit .341 in July and .269 in August, with 13 total home runs, the expectations were high that Odor could finish the year strong. However, that had not been the case. In September, Odor is striking […]

Joey Wendle Records Four Hits Tuesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Joey Wendle quietly contributed to the team effort Tuesday versus the Rangers. While Snell's milestone and, to a lesser degree, Adames HR grabbed the most attention coming out of the 4-0 victory, Wendle made his impact on the game. Wendle would produce four hits which tied the most in his […]

Neil Walker's Blast Propels Yankees To Victory

The New York Yankees only had three hits against the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night in the Bronx. They still managed to prevail, however, as Neil Walker provided the biggest hit of the game. Starting at first base over Luke Voit and Greg Bird, the 33-year-old stepped up to the plate in the seventh with […]

X-Rays Negative On Travis Shaw

Updating a previous report, X-rays turned up negative on Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) after he was hit by a pitch and left the game early on Tuesday. Shaw is likely just dealing with a knee contusion and could return very soon. There's a chance he might not even need to miss a game. […]

Travis Shaw Injured Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) left the game early on Tuesday with a bruised right knee after he was hit by a pitch. Shaw scored a run in his lone plate appearance before leaving the game. It's unknown how serious this injury is, but hopefully for Shaw owners he won't need to miss much […]

Nick Senzel To Play Outfield In Instructional League

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel (finger), the team's top prospect, played second base at Triple-A Louisville this year, shortstop in big league spring training and is in Arizona this week to learn the outfield during the instructional league. The 23-year-old will play in games starting on Oct. 1, and the Reds envision him playing a […]

Angels Recall Sherman Johnson

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled infielder Sherman Johnson. To make room on the active roster, they have added starter Nick Tropeano (shoulder) to the 60-day DL. Tropeano was not expected to pitch again this season, so this has no bearing on his status. Johnson, 28, has been in LA's system since 2012. He will […]

Joe Panik is Sitting Out on Tuesday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Panik will sit out against the left-handed starting pitcher. Chase D'Arnaud will bat second and play second base versus lefty Joey Lucchesi. d'Arnaud can be avoided for fantasy purposes.

David Fletcher Out of Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hamstring) is not in the lineup on Tuesday. Kaleb Cowart is playing second base in his absence, batting eighth. First baseman Jose Fernandez has moved up to second, where Fletcher had been hitting previously. Fletcher suffered a left hamstring strain on Sunday, and although it has not been officially […]

Starlin Castro is Sitting on Tuesday

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a rare day off for the veteran infielder. Miguel Rojas will cover second base and bat second versus righty Stephen Strasburg. Rojas is not really worth a look in DFS contests […]

Jose Altuve Hitting .245 In September

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is 12-for-49 (.245) through 13 games played in September. The reigning MVP has lacked consistency since returning from the disabled list with a knee injury. It is fair to question whether Altuve is 100% even though he has hits in eight of his last 10 games. It still has […]

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

After a large Monday slate, we have another massive Tuesday slate. There are 15 games today, but only 14 on the main slate. The other game features the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, but we will not be covering that game in this article. In this article, I will be providing you […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/18/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a monster 14-game slate to break down today, and there are some great options across the board. There are a few high-priced pitchers on the slate you should be looking to pay up for, along with plenty of bats you want to jam into your lineups. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Jeff McNeil Notches Another Multi-Hit Game on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil had another impressive game on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. McNeil went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and one RBI. In his last 10 games, the young second baseman has four games with at least three hits. He has also struck out only three times during […]

Max Muncy Hits Three-Run Home Run Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Monday's 8-2 win against the Rockies. Muncy took Jon Gray deep in the third inning for his 33rd HR of the season. Muncy has cooled off significantly after a great first half but still has a decent .255/.388/.577 […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 25

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Injures Calf Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (calf) suffered a Grade 1 strain of his left calf on Monday and will be evaluated on Tuesday. Cabrera was hitless in three plate appearances before leaving this game. While a Grade 1 strain is the least severe, this could still end his season with not many games left. Cabrera […]

Brian Dozier is Out Again on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Dozier has only started eight games this month, so his playing time has really taken a hit lately. Fantasy owners really can't count on him down the stretch. Kike Hernandez will play second base […]

Robinson Cano is Sitting Out on Monday

Seattle Mariners infielder Robinson Cano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran slugger. Dee Gordon will cover second base and bat ninth against lefty Framber Valdez. Gordon does not have much upside batting that low in the […]

Josh Harrison Sitting Out Third Straight Game on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Harrison has been dealing with lingering hamstring issues, so the Pirates have been cautious with him over the last few weeks. Harrison should not be counted on in fantasy leagues right now. Adam Frazier […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/17/18): MLB DFS Lineups
