MLB DFS Picks Today: Daily Fantasy Baseball Strategy and Tips For FanDuel, DraftKings (6/16/25)

What a night! It looked like a slow one in the baseball world, and then Rafael Devers was shipped off to San Francisco in an absolute stunner! I'm extremely curious what the Red Sox lineup will look like tonight, and it's possible we'll get some highly relevant DFS value out of it. From a long-term […]

James Tibbs III Traded to Boston, Reporting to Double-A

The Boston Red Sox acquired outfield prospect James Tibbs III from the San Francisco Giants in a package that sent third baseman Rafael Devers to the Giants. While Tibbs has spent the entire campaign at the High-A level with San Francisco, the Red Sox are reportedly moving the outfield to Double-A Portland. Tibbs was considered […]

Brayan Bello Pitches Seven Scoreless Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello pitched seven shutout innings while striking out eight in a 2-0 win over the Yankees. He allowed three hits and three walks while improving his record to 3-1. This was the right-hander's third straight quality start, and he has only allowed more than three runs in a start […]

Jordan Hicks Headed to Boston

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jordan Hicks (toe) is part of a massive trade with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Hicks is headed to Boston along with Kyle Harrison, James Tibbs, and Jose Bello in exchange for slugger Rafael Devers. Hicks was recently placed on the 15-day injured list with right toe inflammation. Before […]

Kyle Harrison Traded to Red Sox

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kyle Harrison was traded to the Boston Red Sox in a massive trade on Sunday. Harrison was scheduled to take the mound for the Giants on Sunday night. Instead, Harrison will be headed to Boston along with Jordan Hicks, James Tibbs, and Jose Bello. In exchange, the Giants will receive […]

Rafael Devers Traded to San Francisco

The San Francisco Giants are acquiring Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers in exchange for right-handed pitchers Jordan Hicks, Jose Bello, left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, and outfield prospect James Tibbs III. Devers has spent his entire tenure in the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox. Earlier this season, Devers expressed frustration with the […]

Chandler Simpson - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level. In his time in the majors, he hit .285 with 19 stolen bases in 35 games. Unfortunately, being a valuable fantasy player […]

Brady House - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]

Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]

Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]

Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A. The A's just got swept by the Angels, bringing their record to 26-44. While plays like Denzel Clarke's HR robbery can generate a spark for a team, the A's might need […]

Chase DeLauter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Chase DeLauter has been one of the most snake-bitten prospects in the minors. When he's on the field, he's shown tremendous upside, but he hasn't been on the field a lot. He didn't play at all in 2022 after getting drafted in the first round […]

Bubba Chandler - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Pirates' home schedule is not favorable with how Bubba Chandler lines up the next few weeks, and walking four batters on Wednesday and not getting out of the first inning also isn't doing him any favors. While his walk rate ballooned during the start, Chandler […]

3 Impact Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Roman Anthony, Brady House, Chase DeLauter

Fantasy managers have seen several high-end prospects become league winners once they get the call to the majors. Last season, Paul Skenes and James Wood were must-start players as soon as they got the call, and likely helped fantasy managers bring home the championship. In this piece, we will analyze the top prospect in baseball […]

Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer Sitting on Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony and infielder Marcelo Mayer are not in Sunday's lineup when they face Yankee left-hander Max Fried. Anthony has only made one start against a left-hander since joining the major league roster. While Anthony could ultimately earn a full-time role in the Boston lineup, it appears the Red Sox are […]
