Are the Dodgers Sunk This Year?

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/16/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Pretty interesting schedule we have on our hands on this Wednesday in the middle of May. Fourteen major league games are set to take place, but only 11 of them are in the larger contests. There are six games in the Early slate and five on the Main. I'll be focusing on those as that's […]

Johan Camargo Drives In Run As Braves Beat Cubs

No, Atlanta Braves shortstop Johan Camargo didn't drive in his RBI on Wednesday night with a highlight-reel-worthy triple where he just beat a tag. He plated his run by working out a bases-loaded walk. Whatever. Fantasy stats don't care how it was done... his RBI total is now 11. He's still struggling at the plate […]

Pedro Florimon Records Two Hits In Victory

Starting once again at shortstop in the absence of JP Crawford, veteran infielder Pedro Florimon played a significant role in the Philadelphia Phillies’ victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. The 31-year-old, who was batting seventh, played a prominent role in the club’s big sixth inning, connecting on an RBI single to left than increased […]

Amed Rosario Fails To Stay Hot In Loss

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario has been playing much better as of late, but on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, he was back to his cold ways of old. Rosario finished 0-for-3 with a strikeout in this one, though it’s worth noting no Met did much of anything in a lopsided 12-1 loss. […]

Dansby Swanson Has Productive Batting Practice On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson took batting practice on Tuesday as he continues to rehab from a wrist injury. Swanson reported no problems yesterday and will work on running and hitting again today with hopes of starting a short rehab assignment soon.

Eduardo Escobar Resting Wednesday

Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Gregorio Petit is playing third base and batting ninth, while Ehire Adrianza is at the 6 and batting eighth.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/16/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have somewhat of an odd Wednesday slate of games. There are two slates - early and late. The early slate has significantly more games, but the late slate, as always, is technically featured. I utilized players from both slates for this article to give you the optimal chance at cashing on both slates tonight. […]

AL-Only Waiver Team of the Week - MLB Week 7

Every week a significant player will hit the disabled list, start a slump, or a get traded out the division. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long terms standings of a team, but failing to take advantage of […]

Eduardo Nunez's Stock Continues To Fall

Boston Red Sox utility player Eduardo Nunez continues to struggle and has disappointed fantasy managers thus far. On Tuesday, Nunez went 0-for-4 against the Athletics, which is indicative of his entire season. Prior to the year, managers expected Nunez to provide speed with a little power. He has yet to really do either, as he […]

Pete Kozma Has Five RBI In Five Games

Detroit Tigers infielder Pete Kozma was recently recalled from Triple-A Toledo amid an abundance of injuries in the Tigers lineup, and he's making his time in Detroit count.

Troy Tulowitzki to Take Batting Practice Next Week

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has been running on a treadmill and taking groundballs as he rehabs from right ankle surgery. Tulowitzki is slated to take batting practice next week, but being on the 60-day disabled list means he likely won't return until early June at the earliest. Tulowitzki can be ignored in all […]

Dansby Swanson Aiming to Return to Braves Lineup as Early as Friday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson, who has been on the disabled list dealing with wrist inflammation, is aiming to return this weekend, potentially on Friday.
