Jason Heyward Does It All On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward delivered his best performance of the young season on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers.

Heyward has been a major disappointment in his time with the Cubs after signing a mega […]

Kris Bryant Goes Hitless

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant had a night to forget on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Bryant went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts. Bryant looked healthy this spring and has been determined to prove the critics wrong after a tough 2018 campaign. The former National League MVP is hitting just .229 so far but has […]

Eloy Jimenez Gets Three Hits On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez picked up three hits in four at-bats versus the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. It was good to see, as Jimenez was struggling coming into the contest. All three hits were singles and Jimenez struck out in his other at-bat. Jimenez has yet to hit a home run, but it’s […]

Eddie Rosario Hits Pinch-Hit Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the ninth inning to help power his team to a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Rosario, who originally had the day off with Minnesota losing the DH in a National League park, picked a good time to launch his first homer […]

Marcell Ozuna Hits First Home Run

It was a good day to sit in Big Mac Land at Busch Stadium. St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna gave the fans a souvenir as he hit his first home run of the season. This was his only hit of the game as he was replaced near the end of the game. If Ozuna […]

Dexter Fowler Reaches Base Three Times

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler finally got something going on offense Saturday. Fowler had a single, double and walked once. Fowler is still only batting .182, however. While his numbers aren't impressive, you should consider keeping him on your roster to see if he'll continue to heat up. Fowler could be at risk of […]

Adam Frazier (2B/OF, PIT) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Volume is a huge factor when determining a player's fantasy value, and for Adam Frazier, he will get plenty of it in 2019.

Whit Merrifield Stretches Hit Streak With HR

Kansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield drilled his first home run of the season on Saturday to extend his 2019 hit streak. Merrifield has now hit safely in all seven games this year, and he's filled up the score sheet by already racking up a double, a triple, a home run, eight runs scored, […]

Jorge Soler Hits First Homer Of 2019

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler knocked his first home run of the season on Saturday against the Tigers. Soler hit a solo shot to lead off the seventh inning, tying the game at two runs apiece, but after the Royals took the lead, the bullpen coughed it up in the bottom half of the […]

Mike Trout's Grand Slam Propels Angels

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-2 with two walks and a grand slam in the Angels 5-1 win over the Rangers. Trout's fourth home run of the season was a 458-foot comet to left field and he now has 10 runs batted in. Everyone in the Angels offense has struggled right out of […]

Jay Bruce Finds The Bleachers Twice

Seattle Mariners first baseman Jay Bruce clobbered a pair of solo home runs as the team went on to rout the White Sox 9-2 on Saturday afternoon. The left-handed slugger now has five dingers on the campaign to go along with 10 RBI, as he's putting a miserable 2018 in the rearview mirror. Despite the […]

Christin Stewart's Grand Slam Leads Tigers To Victory

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart launched a grand slam on Saturday to lead the Tigers to victory over the Royals. The Tigers were behind by two runs when the rookie slugger took Wily Peralta deep in the seventh inning to put the Tigers ahead for good. Stewart's numbers early on haven't been great with a […]

Polanco will be a needed boost of offense […]

Joey Gallo Resting Against Angels On Saturday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo will be on the bench for Saturday's game against Tyler Skaggs and the Los Angeles Angels. It is a strange decision, seeing as Gallo has smoked home runs in each of the first two games of the series. The 25-year-old has a .240 average with three HRs, nine RBI and […]

Hunter Renfroe Batting Cleanup On Saturday

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe is in the starting lineup and batting fourth against Michael Wacha and the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday afternoon. The 27-year-old smoked a pinch-hit two-run home run to lead his team to a 5-3 win over the Cardinals on Friday. Renfroe owns a .313 average with three home runs […]

Byron Buxton Returns To Lineup On Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (back, ribs) is back in the starting lineup and batting eighth against Jake Arrieta and the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday afternoon.

Nelson Cruz and Eddie Rosario Both Absent From Saturday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz will be on the bench alongside outfielder Eddie Rosario during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cruz is sitting since his team is in a National League ballpark, while Rosario and his .160 average are getting the day off. Cruz may not start until early next week, as the […]

David Dahl Hits First HR Of 2019

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl went yard for the first time this season in the team's loss to the Dodgers on Friday night. The game was unfortunately far out of reach by the time Dahl drilled the solo shot in the bottom of the ninth, but it was good to see him get one on the […]

Charlie Blackmon Smacks Three Hits Against LA

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon came into Friday's game stuck in a 1-for-17 slump, but he popped three singles against the Dodgers in a losing effort. The Rockies offense in general has been pretty cold to start the season, but hopefully a few nights in Denver will help them find their footing. Blackmon has also […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/6/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/6/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday brings us a strange day for DFS. There are really no stand out pitchers on either of the two main slates. Yes there are good pitchers but their matchups mean that there is no must use option. That presents some interesting strategies for GPP, as we could see a lot of the big bats […]

Dee Gordon Back In Lineup Saturday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon is back in Saturday's lineup versus the White Sox and is batting ninth. The speedster left Friday's game after feeling tightness in his groin from diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt. Owners shouldn't be worried about this minor issue, especially if we see him attempt a […]
