MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for Fantasy (Week Six)

It finally happened. Noah Syndergaard was called up to the Majors. Mets’ right-hander Dillon Gee was placed on the DL with groin issues and the Mets decided to give his spot in the rotation to Noah Syndergaard. It isn’t very surprising. Steve Matz has looked impressive, but he doesn’t have the same level of upside. […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/11/15

Just a 10 game slate for May 11th, but with no day games scheduled there’s plenty of options for your FanDuel lineup. The pitching options – save for a really expensive Zack Greinke ($10,300) – are underwhelming to say the least. It’s not so much that the caliber of pitchers today are poor, it’s just […]

The Cut List, Week 5: Time to Let These Players Go

Welcome back to the Cut List, the place where I bitch and moan about my terrible fantasy team. Seriously, what is up with Carlos Gonzalez? My season is slipping away with every 0-for-4. So what do I do? I can't trade CarGo now, at his lowest value, so my only choice is to bench him and […]

Dynasty / Keeper Deeper Dive: Jose Peraza

Peraza's Time Draws Near It's hard to find quality offensive players at either shortstop or second base. That's common knowledge. That's why teams like the Yankees are rumored to be looking to the trade market for some help. One such guy they have been rumored to like is Jose Peraza. Now the Braves' front office […]

Andrus, Harang, and Dee Gordon: Real Deal or Impostors in Week 5?

A shortstop that is underperforming expectations, a pitcher that had no expectations, and a second sacker blowing his projections completely out of the water are on tap this week. Which shall we trust more: What we thought we knew heading into the season, or the data that the early season has given us? Without further […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Power Rankings for Fantasy (Week Five)

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only leagues and in Deep Mixed Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With the oblique injury to Carl Crawford, Alex Guerrero should find himself in the Dodgers lineup with more regularity.

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/5/15

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Also, sorry for laying a dud yesterday with two of the three offenses I suggested stacking. One due to postponement, the other due to the Yankees not figuring out R.A. Dickey.
