FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

On deck for today? One of the last doubleheader slates of the year - and this is one of just a few times in recent memory that both slates have been worth playing. The early slate (4 game) features a ridiculous amount of pitching talent and the eight game Main slate has a solid offering […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/12/18): MLB DFS Lineups

There are a plethora of games today, although DraftKings broke those games down into two slate. Overall, there are 15 games, but this article will only focus on the later slate. On that slate, there are eight games, but still plenty of options to choose from. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Jon Jay Will Lead Off on Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jon Jay will lead off and play right field versus righty Antonio Senzatela on Tuesday. Steven Souza Jr. (rest) will head to the bench and get a breather on Tuesday. Jay is only worth owning in NL-only leagues right now, but he could be helpful for DFS contests on Tuesday. Senzatela has […]

We have a monster 13-game slate to break down today, and there are some great options across the board. There are a few high-priced pitchers on the slate you should be looking to pay up for, along with plenty of bats you want to jam into your lineups. In this article, I will be providing you […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/11/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

FanDuel generally struggles to correctly price their players when coming off of the DL. That is the case again tonight, as Chris Sale will be on an innings restriction, but may be able to hit value for his current price. We'll discuss that more below. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 24

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Daniel Descalso To See More Time At Second Base

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Daniel Descalso will see more time at second base down the stretch at the expense of Ketel Marte, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Descalso and Marte have basically been pretty close to the same player this year, but Descalso brings more of a veteran presence to the starting lineup, offers more position […]

Brad Boxberger Removed From Closer Role

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Brad Boxberger has been removed from the closer role. Manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that he would play matchups in the ninth inning moving forward. Lovullo seems to prefer to use a closer-by-committee approach rather than have a single closer emerge. Since the All-Star break, Boxberger has an ERA of 7.90 and […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/10/18): MLB DFS Lineups

With HOU/DET and LAD/CIN starting before 7:05pm EST, we only have 10 games to work with on the Monday night slate. While we only have one game that give us an over/under of at least nine total runs, it’s a big one as the Rockies host the Diamondbacks at Coors Field. As far as pitching […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/10/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Some of my early favorite stacks include the Cubs and Brewers, but some other under the radar picks such […]

David Peralta Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Braves

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (ankle), who tweaked his ankle at first base on Saturday, is out of the starting lineup on Sunday. Peralta's injury isn't believed to be serious, so expect him to return on Monday. The left-handed hitter is batting .296/.354/.518 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI and 69 runs scored in 504 […]

Nick Ahmed is Sitting Out on Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This is a routine day off for Ahmed, so he should be back in the lineup on Sunday. Ketel Marte will slide over to shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Julio Teheran. Marte is hitting .216/.287/.334 […]

Patrick Corbin Earns 11th Win Friday Against Braves

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Patrick Corbin (11-5) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine over six strong innings against the Braves. Corbin has now lowered his ERA to 3.01 and maintains an elite strikeout to walk ratio of 5.31. This mark puts him just behind […]

Brad Boxberger Nails Down 32nd Save

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger recorded his 32nd save on Friday, recording two outs without allowing a baserunner in a 5-3 victory against the Braves. It was a good turn around outing for Boxberger, who had taken consecutive losses in his last two appearances. Despite his recent issues, Boxberger still has a firm grip on […]

Paul Goldschmidt Reaches Base Five Times

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-2 with a home run, a single, three walks and a run scored in Friday's win over the Braves. Goldschmidt opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning and scored another run on a Daniel Descalso single in the third. Goldschmidt has now hit […]

Ketel Marte, Steven Souza Jr. Out on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) and outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Jon Jay will lead off and play right field, while Daniel Descalso plays second base and bats sixth versus righty Kevin Gausman. Descalso can be avoided in DFS contests and […]

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 […]

Ryan Yarbrough (SP/RP, TB) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough has allowed just 15 batters to reach base and two to score in his last five appearances, spanning 21 innings. Only one of those was an official start, as he is most often been used […]

Friday Five: Pitchers for the Stretch Run

Last week, we covered five under-owned hitters who could provide a boost to fantasy owners in the season's final month. Today, it's time to do the same for pitchers. With the end of the 2018 campaign rapidly approaching, it can be difficult to find worthwhile arms on the waiver wire in competitive leagues. That's true […]

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 […]

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 […]

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

David Peralta's September Struggles Continue

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-0 victory over the Padres. After a scorching August (.361/.410/.732), Peralta has gone cold in September, going hitless in three of his four games this month. The slump has brought his average below .300 for the first time since mid-August. Peralta is still hitting cleanup in […]

Jarrod Dyson Suffers Setback

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson (groin) had some pain during his rehab outing and will now visit with doctors. Manager Torey Lovullo said no new scans are being done on Dyson, though.
