FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a relatively small Sunday slate, which is the case more often than not. With that being said, there are 15 total games today. Since these games are broken down into two slates, I'll be covering both slates. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for FanDuel […]

Adalberto Mondesi (2B/SS, KC) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Kansas City Royals middle infielder Adalaberto Mondesi has been one of the best waiver wire pickups over the last weeks because of his speed and average. An 0-for-4 performance brought an end to a four-game multi-hit streak for Mondesi. He blasted a […]

The Cut List (Week 23): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 23 of the Cut List. Corey Dickerson, Michael Conforto, Maikel Franco, and Max Kepler should be cut in all standard league formats as we head into playoff time. You should be scouring the free agent list so you can put yourself in the best position to win each day. Believe me, the […]

Johan Camargo (2B/3B/SS, ATL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is anyone's guess who is more surprised, the Braves organization or fantasy baseball managers. Johan Camargo has been a revelation this season. His performance hasn’t been one that single-handedly carries your team to a championship, but he definitely is a contributing […]

Week 23 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

It’s September, which means that children are back in school where they belong, football is back (yawn), and both the summer and the fantasy baseball season are winding down. With trade deadlines in the rearview mirror, the waiver wire is your only mechanism for improvement as we move into the home stretch and/or playoffs. Every […]

Kris Bryant Produces In Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) made his first start of his return from injury Saturday versus Philadelphia. He would collect two hits and score a key run as he shows he is still a really good hitter. He has returned along with Addison Russell to create a logjam at three positions (3B, 2B, […]

Brandon Lowe Shows Off Power Saturday Versus Cleveland

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe contributed Saturday versus the Indians. He would come around to score the first Tampa Bay run of the game. He would also homer to provide the final run for the team as well. Lowe has been hot over his past eight games. He is 9-for-19 with seven runs scored, […]

Tim Anderson Will Lead Off on Saturday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson will lead off and play shortstop versus lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on Saturday. Anderson continues to jump around in the batting order for the South Siders this season. The team has been unable to find reliable spot for Anderson in their batting order. Rodriguez has pitched well this season, but […]

Trea Turner Has Second Three-Hit Game in August

Nationals shortstop Trea Turner had himself a nice game on Friday. Turner racked up three hits in four at-bats, stole a base, and walked. Although none of these hits earned him any runs or RBI, he did his part in the Nationals lineup. August has been fairly solid for Turner. With six steals and three […]

Aaron Altherr, Dylan Cozens Called Up

The Philadelphia Phillies called up outfielders Aaron Altherr and Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley with rosters expanding on Saturday. Shortstop Pedro Florimon (foot) was also activated from the 60-day disabled list. Altherr struggled mightily earlier this year and was sent down after hitting .171 with six homers and 33 RBI in 210 at-bats. Cozens […]

Johan Camargo Cranks Solo Shot on Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 2-for-3 at the plate with a solo homer on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Camargo is now batting .278 on the season with 15 home runs and 64 RBI. He was exceptional in August, as he had a sizzling .327 average during the month. He has a 36.2% […]

Adeiny Hechavarria Traded To Yankees

The New York Yankees continue to bolster their playoff roster as they acquired shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. This is solely a depth move for the Yankees, although Hechavarria could see playing time in the short-term due to Didi Gregorius' foot injury. Hechavarria is carrying a .254 average on the […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/1/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a 13-game main slate to go over today, with plenty of pitching options to consider. There are a few high priced pitchers to take a look at today, but we are dealing with a balanced slate overall. Some of the betters offenses on tap today, so plenty of runs should be in future. […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 23

You probably aren't technically able to make trades in your leagues by this point in the season, 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 […]

Points Leagues (H2H) Waiver Wire Adds and Streamers - Week 23

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]

Javier Baez Homers Friday Versus The Phillies

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez provided the lone offensive score of the game for his team Friday versus Philadelphia. He would blast a fifth-inning solo homer to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead. The Phillies would go onto to win 2-1 in extra-innings though. Baez's HR was his 29th of the season, which leads the […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 23) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 23, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Amed Rosario is Out on Friday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rosario has been heating up with the bat lately, so that is a good sign for fantasy owners. Jose Reyes will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus lefty Andrew Suarez. Reyes […]

Brandon Crawford is Out on Friday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. Crawford is hitting .192/.185/.308 over the last week, so he'll get a night off. Alen Hanson will play shortstop and bat second versus righty Zack Wheeler. Hanson has not done much with the bat […]

Jean Segura Sits Again Friday

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura is not in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the A's. The Mariners will be without their best hitter again as Segura is dealing with a bone bruise in his left shin. With the team fighting to stay in the playoff chase, it is unclear how long the All-Star will […]

Brewers Sign Emilio Bonifacio

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent infielder Emilio Bonifacio on Friday and are assigning him to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Bonifacio last played in the big leagues in 2017 with the Braves, hitting .132 with no homers and three RBI. That tells you about all you need to know about him.

Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Schoop has been hitting better this week, but is still hard to trust in fantasy leagues right now. Orlando Arcia will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth versus righty Tanner Roark. DFS players can […]

Kris Bryant, Addison Russell To Come Off DL Saturday

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said the team will activate both third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) and shortstop Addison Russell (finger) from the disabled list on Saturday. Bryant is expected to start. Bryant has just 11 homers this year but should be immediately re-inserted into fantasy lineups. He could be the difference for his owners […]

Amed Rosario (SS, NYM) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario hit .328 for Triple-A Las Vegas last season and is starting to show some promise for the 2018 season. While he is hitting just .249 on the season, he has swiped 10 bags in 15 tries so […]

Willy Adames (2B/SS, TBR) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays infielder Willy Adames was the key piece of the trade that sent David Price from Tampa to Detroit and he is starting to show why the Rays valued him so much. There are still issues with Adames, starting with his 30.7% […]

Amed Rosario Starting To Figure It Out?

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario is hitting .329/.360/.482 over the past three weeks since Aug. 9 and had seven hits in three games against the Cubs earlier this week. One of the biggest trends for this up-and-coming infielder is that he's striking out less and walking more in 2018. Rosario struck out 29 percent […]

Manny Machado Homers In Second Straight Game Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado flexed his muscle again in as many days in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks, going 2-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, and a walk. Machado has now homered in back-to-back games and has four HR in his last seven games and 33 HR on the […]

Johan Camargo Batting .318 During August

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs. This continues a fantastic month of August for the 24-year-old. Camargo has a .318 average through 28 games in the month to go along with two homers and 17 RBI. This hot stretch has […]

Niko Goodrum Hits Game-Winning Homer

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum launched his 14th homer of the year on Thursday, a game-winning blast off Dellin Betances in the top of the ninth inning. The homer came on the heels of a two-run shot from Victor Martinez that tied the game and put the cap on a comeback win for the […]
