With that kind of slate, I generally look to the positive hitting environments, in this case the focus will be on the Rays at Rangers and Reds at Brewers. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for […]

AL-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 […]

Brandon Lowe With Decisive Hit Sunday Versus Oakland

Tampa Bay Rays middle infielder Brandon Lowe provided the eventual game-winner Sunday versus the Athletics. In the seventh inning, Lowe would come up with two runners on-base. He would slash a triple to drive them both in to make the score 5-0. Oakland would later hit a grand slam so Lowe's blow ended up being […]

Brock Holt Hits Two-Run Blast On Sunday

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt was 1-for-4 at the plate with a two-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 win over the New York Mets. Holt now has five homers on the season, to go along with 41 RBI, 33 runs scored, seven stolen bases, and a .262 average. His fantasy value is severely capped […]

David Fletcher Could Miss Rest Of Season

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (hamstring) will be evaluated on Monday after leaving the game early on Sunday with a left hamstring strain, but manager Mike Scioscia isn't optimistic about Fletcher's chances of returning this year with limited games left. The rookie had a double in his only plate appearances on Sunday and pulled […]

Javier Baez, Kris Bryant Out Of Lineup Sunday

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Javier Baez (rest) and third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (rest) are both out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds. Daniel Murphy will play second base, Addison Russell at short, and Ben Zobrist will get the start in right field. All three of these players see regular playing time with the Cubs […]

Jeff McNeil Continues to Impress in Mets Uniform

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil went 1-for-4 on Saturday with a stolen base in a loss to the Boston Red Sox. McNeil swiped his fifth bag of the year and is currently slashing .335/.389/.494 in 50 games for the Mets this season. The 26-year-old has been one of the biggest bright spots for […]

Logan Forsythe Notches Two-Hit Game

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe went 2-for-5 with one RBI in his team's 10-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. The two-hit game gives Forsythe a .237 batting average, .613 OPS, two homers, 34 runs, 25 RBI, and two steals on the season. He got off to a hot start when he […]

The Cut List (Week 25): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 25 of the Cut List. This week I’m taking a look at Adam Jones, Carlos Gonzalez, Odubel Herrera, and Starlin Castro. All four players should be cut in most standard shallow formats. We’re in the thick of the fantasy playoff season and we need to own players who are actually producing results. […]

Brandon Lowe (2B/OF, TB) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays utility player Brandon Lowe went deep again on Saturday, bringing his total to five homers in just 101 plate appearances since arriving in the big leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a forgettable first half, Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Adam Frazier has had a post-break surge that has flown under the radar in most fantasy formats.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil has turned it on and just will not stop. In the last 30 days, he has 19 runs, 12 RBI, and a .386 batting average. Admittedly, he doesn’t bring a ton of power with only one […]

Hopefully, this column has and will continue to aid you in your […]

Brandon Lowe With A Homer Saturday Versus Oakland

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe got the Rays off to a strong start Saturday versus the Athletics. He would blast a two-run homer in the second inning to give the Rays a 2-0 lead. He would later score on the decisive three-run HR to complete his fantasy production. Lowe now has 27 homers across […]

He'll bat second and play second play versus righty Ian Kennedy. Forsythe is not normally worth considering in DFS contests, but Kennedy has been […]

Daniel Murphy Out Of Saturday’s Lineup

Chicago Cubs second baseman Daniel Murphy will get a breather on Saturday versus the Reds. Javier Baez will start at second base for Murphy and Addison Russell will start at shortstop and bat fifth. Baez is the better play in DFS on Saturday versus left-hander Cody Reed.

Logan Forsythe is Sitting Out on Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This is just a routine day off for Forsythe, so he should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Gregorio Petit will bat ninth and play second base versus righty Jorge Lopez. Petit can […]

Brian Dozier is Sitting Out Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Dozier is hitting .067/.125/.100 with zero home runs and one RBI over the last two weeks. He'll continue to see the bench more often than not if he stays cold at the plate. […]

Josh Harrison is Back in the Lineup Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Harrison has sat out the last two games after playing on Monday. It appears the Pirates are going to be cautious with Harrison due to his lingering hamstring issues. He shouldn't be counted on more […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/14/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, my fellow fantasy addicts.

The Cubs are home today, but, they […]

Lourdes Gurriel Snaps Out Of Homer Drought

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Lourdes Gurriel was 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. It was Gurriel's first home run since July 27. Gurriel is still only carrying a .206 average since his return from the disabled list on August 24. He has […]

Known mostly for his speed, Mondesi is hitting .286 this season, posting a .333 batting average in September. He has […]

Week 25 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 […]
