FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/23/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Despite several teams getting a night off Monday, the slate to begin the week is an intriguing one with many of the team's best offenses still to choose from.

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez extended his hit streak to six games on Sunday. Baez has been on fire over the past two weeks and finished Sunday’s contest 2-for-6 with one run and three RBI. Baez now has seven home runs and arguably had the best week of any player this past week. Baez […]

Jose Ramirez Goes Yard Twice on Sunday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez mashed two home runs on Sunday, finishing 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. He also walked on the afternoon. Ramirez had an awful start to the season, but he's been on fire lately, bringing his average up to .236. He should be started in all formats with confidence.

Devon Travis Returns to the Lineup on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis has returned to the lineup on Sunday after missing the last couple of games with a foot injury. Travis is batting seventh and manning his usual second base against the Yankees. Travis was once considered the future in Toronto, however, he is hitting just .149 with two RBI […]

Happy Sunday! We’ve got an 11-game featured slate on DraftKings today, one that excludes the west coast games.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada has been moved down from the No. 1 spot in the order to the No. 6 spot. It’s a bit of an interesting move as Moncada has been seeing the ball very well with a .294 batting average, two home runs, six RBI and four stolen bases over […]

The Chicago Cubs have promoted infielder David Bote to replace Ben Zobrist (back) who was placed on the 10-day disabled list.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis remains out of the lineup on Saturday with a sore left foot, but according to manager John Gibbons, Travis is improving. He may be feeling better, but it’s still uncertain as to whether or not he’ll be available off the bench on Saturday against the New York Yankees. […]

Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel In Lineup Again

The Toronto Blue Jays may have some complicated lineup decisions laying ahead, but at least for Saturday against the New York Yankees, they’re choosing to ride the hot hands. The hot-hitting outfielder Teoscar Hernandez and shortstop/second baseman Lourdes Gurriel are both in the lineup once again. It’s the seventh straight start for Hernandez, who has […]

Justin Smoak, Devon Travis Sitting

The Toronto Blue Jays are giving first baseman Justin Smoak the day off on Saturday against the New York Yankees. There is nothing out of the ordinary here, just a routine rest day for the slumping 31-year-old who is just 3-for-29 since April 10. For second baseman Devon Travis, however, it’s more than a routine […]

Lourdes Gurriel Dazzles In Debut

The Toronto Blue Jays had one fantastic debut earlier this week when outfielder Teoscar Hernandez filled up the box score (and hasn’t dropped since). On Friday, they had another one with shortstop/second baseman Lourdes Gurriel. Gurriel finished 2-for-5 with three RBI and a strikeout in an 8-5 victory over the New York Yankees. Gurriel has […]

Ben Zobrist Will Land On Disabled List

Chicago Cubs utility man Ben Zobrist (back) told reporters that he will be placed on the disabled list Saturday.

Is it time to overreact yet? This is what many fantasy owners are asking themselves and our writers at RotoBaller, but it's not the question you should be asking.

Logan Forsythe Hopes To Start Throwing On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Logan Forsythe (shoulder) is hoping to start throwing this Saturday. He's been Justin Turner's catcher during rehab drills because Turner can't catch due to his fractured wrist, but his shoulder has prevented him from throwing. Forsythe is barely relevant in fantasy leagues that don't have less than 15 teams, but he's […]
