Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 24

The baseball season is on its last legs, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools. Instead of trading assets with other owners, you can "buy" players that have been overlooked or recently discarded on the wire. In this case, think of it […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/7/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, Rotoballers. Boy, do we have a ridiculous treat today in terms of pitching options on this 14-game Main slate. I'd go as far as to say it's a pitching bonanza. I don't think I've had a chance to do a write-up - or even seen, for that matter - a slate with seven […]

Week 24 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 […]

Diamondbacks Acquire Patrick Kivlehan

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired infielder/outfielder Patrick Kivlehan from the New York Mets in exchange for cash considerations on Thursday. He will join the major league roster. Outfielder Jarrod Dyson (groin) was moved to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move. Kivlehan will provide bench depth down the stretch after hitting an impressive .298 with […]

Michael Brantley Dealing With Sore Foot

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (foot) wasn't in the lineup on Thursday after fouling a ball off the top of his left foot in the third inning on Wednesday. "He's OK," said manager Terry Francona. "He hit the ball off the top of his foot, but finished the game OK. Then you get on a […]

Jarrod Dyson To Undergo Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson (groin) will undergo a surgery similar to what he had last year. Dyson had a setback recently on his rehab assignment and will not return this year. Fantasy owners weren't counting on him to return anyway, as he hit an embarrassing .189/.282/.257 with two home runs, 12 RBI and 16 […]

Albert Almora Jr. is Starting in Center Field on Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. is starting in center field and batting eighth versus righty Stephen Strasburg on Thursday. Ian Happ will get the night off to rest, so Almora jumps into center field for this one. Almora has been in a bit of a slump in the second half. He's worth owning in […]

Manuel Margot Will Sit Out on Thursday

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Travis Jankowski will lead off and play center field versus righty Luis Castillo. Jankowski does not have much upside with the bat, but Castillo has not pitched very well this season. Jankowski is worth looking […]

Michael Brantley Has Day Off Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. It looks like he's just receiving the day off. Outfielder Brandon Guyer will receive the start in left field and is batting ninth against Blue Jays starter Sam Gaviglio. Guyer is batting just .202/.290/.362 with six homers and 23 RBI on the […]

Kyle Schwarber Not In Lineup Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. He came up gimpy in the game on Wednesday, but he's day-to-day and could be back on Friday. Kris Bryant is in left field and is hitting fifth against Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg. Bryant is a must-start when he's in the […]

Denard Span Hitting .300 Since June 1

Seattle Mariners outfielder Denard Span went 3-for-3 on Wednesday, including his 11th home run of the season in the Mariners 5-2 win over the Orioles. The veteran continues to rack up hits in a Mariners uniform and now is 69-for-230 (.300) since June 1. Span is having a very solid season, slashing .277/.353/.449 with seven […]

Mitch Haniger Hitting .333 From Leadoff Spot

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger smacked his 24th home run of the season in the Mariners 5-2 win over the Orioles. Haniger's second half has come alive since manager Scott Servais inserted him into the leadoff spot. In 25 games hitting leadoff, Haniger is slashing .333/.400/.630 with one triple, six home runs, 12 doubles, 13 […]

George Springer Hitting .340 Over Last 15 Games

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer went 3-for-5 with three runs scored in the Astros 9-1 pounding of the Twins on Wednesday. Springer is starting to really heat up and is hitting .340 over his last 15 games played with a .509 slugging percentage in that span. After a monster season in 2017, Springer has battled […]

Adam Jones Gets Three Hits Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones went 3-for-4 with two singles and a double in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Mariners. The veteran has been quietly effective all season and now has a .285 batting average with 14 home runs and 55 RBI. Jones' age seems to be catching up to him as his power has […]

Billy McKinney Goes Deep On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Billy McKinney was 1-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. McKinney is now batting a ridiculous .360 with four homers, 11 RBI, and nine runs scored in 15 games with the Jays. While 15 games is a very […]

Andrew Benintendi Notches Three Hits On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi was 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Atlanta Braves. Benintendi got a couple days off on September 2 and September 4 due to a lengthy slump. In the games after those off days, Benintendi has responded with back-to-back multi-hit performances. If Benintendi can get back […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a VERY small four-game slate tonight, which starts early, at 6:40 pm est. That is due to the fact the NFL is kicking off tonight, so we have a very limited slate and the options are a bit thin today. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 23: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 23 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. September has finally arrived, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade deadlines come and […]

Champ or Chump: Amed Rosario and Nomar Mazara

We are in the final stretch now, and the sad truth is that the fates of most fantasy teams have already been sealed. The players below are available in at least 30 percent of leagues, but our focus will begin to shift toward 2019 draft prep. With so much data available on so many players, […]

Kevin Kiermaier Goes Deep Twice Wednesday Versus Toronto

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier regained some of his old magic Wednesday versus the Blue Jays. He would go deep twice in the game with both homers being solo shots. Kiermaier was having a down year in power with only four HR in 2018 coming into the game after hitting 15 in 98 games […]

Kyle Schwarber Day-To-Day

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber (back) left the game early on Wednesday with a back issue after sliding into third base, according to manager Joe Maddon. Schwarber told Maddon about his back and then hit a home run, but he was removed from the game after running around the bases gingerly. Maddon said Schwarber is […]

Tommy Pham Misses Wednesday, Expected Back Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Tommy Pham (groin) was held out of Wednesday's game in hopes that the extra off day Thursday will allow him to be even more likely to be healthy on Friday. The Rays did say that Pham could have played Wednesday but it was by choice that he was held out. His […]

Cody Bellinger Hits 22nd Home Run Of Season Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Mets. Bellinger took Zack Wheeler deep in the seventh inning for his 22nd HR of the season. The 23-year-old has had a much better second half of the season compared to his first and is […]

Mason Williams Reaches Base Three Times Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Mason Williams went 2-for-2 with two singles and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates. The 27-year-old, who got called up at the start of the second half of the season, has hit a respectable .293 with one home run and five RBI in 99 plate appearances. He hasn't hit […]

Nick Markakis Drives In Two Runs On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Hopefully, this offensive outburst can revitalize Markakis, as he only has a .193 average with four RBI in his past 15 games. Markakis was one of the best players […]

Matt Adams Goes Yard Twice on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams hit two home runs on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. The two blasts gave him 20 on the year. He hit his first one in the first inning with two runners on base, then added a solo shot in the fifth inning for […]

Ronald Acuna Hits Another Leadoff Homer

Atlanta Braves phenom Ronald Acuna hit his eighth leadoff home run of the season on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. The homer set a new Braves franchise record for leadoff bombs in a season. The 20-year-old has been ridiculous since his call-up, as he now has 24 homers, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored, 11 […]

Rhys Hoskins Strikes Out Three Times In Painful Loss

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins is struggling through one of the worst stretches of his young career. The 25-year-old entered Wednesday night's game in Miami hitting .053 across his last seven games and didn't help his cause on the night. The Phillies managed just one run in a terrible loss to the Marlins and Hoskins […]

Eddie Rosario Planning To Work Out Again

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) is planning on doing more light jogging on Wednesday and will take batting practice on the field in advance of a potential weekend return. Rosario, one of the team's best hitters this year, has been out since Aug. 30. He's hitting .292 on the year with 22 home runs, […]

Clint Frazier Unlikely To Return This Year

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (head) had a concussion setback and is now unlikely to return this year, according to manager Aaron Boone. Frazier has dealt with concussion issues since all the way back in spring training and last played for the Yankees in mid-July. The soon-to-be 24-year-old had just 34 at-bats in the […]
