FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/15/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

"So, did anything interesting happen in baseball last night?", Tom asked imperfectly. Tom Swifty jokes aside, I still late can't believe a perfect game was broken up by an HBP just before the finish line. Still, a no-hitter is pretty impressive either way. I will say upfront that I am not expecting anything that infrequent […]
