DraftKings CFB DFS Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 9/1

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the announcement just a week or so ago – college football daily fantasy is back! Thank you, DraftKings. Thank you for making my dreams come true. DraftKings welcomed us college football addicts back last Saturday with a 3-game slate, and they have a smaller slate Thursday to […]

X-Rays Negative On David Price

Updating a previous report, X-rays on Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price's left wrist came up negative after he was smoked by a line drive during his start on Wednesday. The Red Sox will send him for further testing. The left-hander appears to have avoided serious injury, but he may still have to miss […]

David Price Leaves Start After Being Hit By Liner

Boston Red Sox starter David Price left Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins in the third inning after he was struck by a comebacker off of the bat of Austin Dean. Price had allowed three runs on five hits before his exit. The 33-year-old was diagnosed with a left wrist contusion, which does not seem […]

Mitch Moreland is Out on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Moreland is in an 0-for-9 slump at the plate, so he'll get the night off. Steve Pearce will draw the start at first base and bat third against righty Trevor Richards. Pearce is in […]

Steven Wright Makes Scoreless Rehab Appearance

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) threw two scoreless, hitless innings with Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday with one walk and one strikeout. It was his first game action since he went on the disabled list with knee inflammation on June 23. Wright could return to the Red Sox bullpen soon and could be […]

Christian Vazquez To Return This Weekend

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (finger) will come off the disabled list weekend to face the White Sox. Vazquez is more of a defensive standout than a fantasy option for his bat. He was hitting only .213 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 207 at-bats before his injury. Vazquez will return to […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Will Start on Saturday

Boston Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) will return from the disabled list to start Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Rodriguez has been great in his first two rehab starts. He went four scoreless innings with Double-A Portland on Monday, allowing just two hits while striking out six. This bodes well, as Rodriguez […]

Brian Johnson A Solid Streaming Option On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starter Brian Johnson has a nice matchup against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The Marlins are second last in the MLB in runs scored, second last in home runs, and bottom-five in batting average. Johnson actually picked up his first win of this season against the Marlins back in April, allowing one […]

Steve Pearce Sitting Out On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Steve Pearce is back on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Pearce saw an uptick in action lately due to off days for other players, but he struggled in his three appearances. He was just 2-for-11 in that time span with no RBI. He had a scorching hot […]

Rafael Devers, Steven Wright Beginning Rehab Assignments

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) is expected to rehab with Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday and Thursday, while relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) will make a start for Pawtucket on Tuesday. Devers could return from the disabled list this weekend and should return to a starting role at the hot corner. He has […]

Chris Sale Starts Throwing Program

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (shoulder) started his throwing program on Monday. The ace lefty doesn't have a timetable for his return, but his fantasy owners must remain patient and keep him stashed for however many more starts he can deliver in September. Sale was 12-4 with a 1.97 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and […]

Nathan Eovaldi Gets Torched on Sunday

Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi was tagged for six runs (five earned) on eight hits in four innings of work on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. He struck out five batters while walking none. Eovaldi is winless in his past four starts allowing a total of 14 earned runs over that span. He […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 22

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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/26/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It's a ten-game featured slate on DraftKings today, and with the only true ace taking on the Boston Red Sox there is an interesting pitching slate to attack today. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 8/26/18. The lineup picks will range from some of […]

Rick Porcello Strikes Out Eight In Loss

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello pitched only five innings in a 5-1 loss to the Rays Saturday. He had a solid outing allowing three runs on six hits while striking out eight batters and walking two. Porcello’s record drops to 15-7 and his ERA rises to 4.18. He will look to get back […]

Brian Johnson (BOS - SP) - Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brian Johnson pitching for the 90-win Red Sox does not hurt his fantasy stock. When you can find a pitcher on the best team in baseball, you take it. Johnson’s stats are not horrible, either. He hqs allowed […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: August 27-September 2

We only have seven games on Monday, so the pitching player pool is shallow. The fantasy baseball season is getting shorter by the game and teams are starting to make a final push for the postseason. Keep checking in every week to get a head start on the competition, when it comes to the waiver […]

Steve Pearce Batting Third Against Rays on Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce is returning to the lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Pearce is batting third in the order, as he takes over for the injured Mitch Moreland. Pearce has been fantastic ever since he has come over to the Red Sox. He has a .307 average with […]

Week 22 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 […]

Steve Pearce is Dealing with Back Issue

Boston Red Sox first baseman/outfielder Steve Pearce (back) was out of the starting lineup on Thursday due to a stiff back. That explains why Pearce didn't come in following Mitch Moreland's early exit due to a bruised knee. Pearce is expected to be fine and should be back in the lineup on Friday.

Eduardo Nunez Delivers Two RBI on Thursday

Boston Red Sox utility man Eduardo Nunez came up with a two-run double in the fifth inning to blow Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians wide open. Nunez was 1-for-4 on the day with a strikeout. It has been a highly disappointing season from a fantasy perspective for the 31-year-old. After three straight years with […]

David Price Turns in Another Dominant Outing

Boston Red Sox starter David Price was excellent on Thursday afternoon against the Cleveland Indians. Price tossed eight shutout innings, allowing only three hits with no walks while striking out seven batters. Price has a 1.09 ERA in his six starts since the All-Star break along with a ridiculous 40/8 K/BB ratio. His record is […]

Mitch Moreland Leaves Thursday's Game With Knee Injury

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland left Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians in the first inning with a left knee contusion. He slid into the camera well while tracking a foul ball. Blake Swihart took over for him at first base. Moreland was starting to turn it around after a dismal month at […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 21: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 21 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. As the season has progressed well into August and the MLB trade deadline has passed, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or […]

J.D. Martinez Up to 108 RBI on the Season

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez cashed in two more RBI in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Cleveland Indians. He was 2-for-4 at the plate with a walk and two strikeouts. Martinez has been downright ridiculous this season as he is already at 38 homers and 108 RBI before August has even ended. The man […]

Andrew Benintendi Drives in Three RBI on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. It was Benintendi's only hit of the contest, but it blew the game wide open in what turned out to be a 10-4 Red Sox win. These offensive outbursts are not […]

Xander Bogaerts Smacks Two Solo Shots on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was teeing off on the Cleveland Indians pitching staff on Wednesday. Bogaerts hit his 18th and 19th home runs of the season, finishing the night 2-for-5 at the plate with two RBI. He is on pace to best his career highs in homers and RBI this season. He is […]
