DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/7/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We're rolling along with the week and we head into Wednesday's DraftKings MLB slate with four games on tap. The NL will be playing the second game of their series while the AL teams are playing in game three of their series. We have a couple of appealing starting pitchers to target to go along […]

Aaron Hicks Stays Hot On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks picked up a pair of walks and a single against the Rays on Tuesday, giving him a .667 batting average and 1.944 OPS through four postseason games this year. Hicks had been heating up coming into the postseason too with a .904 OPS (and three stolen bases) over his […]

Giancarlo Stanton Hits Fifth Home Run In Four Games

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 against the Rays on Tuesday, including a pair of well-hit home runs. Stanton has been on a tear since the start of the postseason with a 1.944 OPS over his first four games, and he’s now clearly removed from the lower body injuries that […]

J.A. Happ Struggles On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ struggled against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing four runs over 2 2/3 innings after replacing starter Deivi Garcia in the second inning. The Yankees started Garcia in an attempt to give Happ a platoon advantage, but a pair of righties (Mike Zunino and Manuel Margot) took Happ deep […]

Deivi Garcia Pulled After Only One Inning On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia lasted only one inning against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing one run before being relieved by starting pitcher J.A. Happ. Happ was up in the bullpen before any damage was done against Garcia, and it appears as though manager Aaron Boone used Garcia as a decoy starter to […]

Aaron Judge Homers On Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 1-for-5 against the Rays on Monday, including a well-hit home run that came off of his bat at 109.5 mph. Injuries held Judge to only 28 regular-season games this year, but he now has two home runs in three games this postseason and 11 home runs over 31 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/6/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Tuesday with 4 game slate featuring Game 2 of the ALDS matchups and the start of the two NLDS matchups. There are some interesting pitching options, and that should allow for some nice offensive spots to attack. Probably can not get much more offensive than last night, but we can try and […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/6/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The days of four-game MLB slates are fast dwindling as the American League and National League Division Series take centerstage at once beginning Tuesday. With no elimination scenarios on the table yet, starting pitchers should have a reasonable leash, although as you’ll come to read, some may have longer ones than others. As can usually […]

Gerrit Cole Allows Three Runs On Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole allowed three runs over six innings with eight strikeouts against the Rays on Monday. Home runs were once again the primary damage against Cole, with Randy Arozarena and Ji-Man Choi (again) both going yard against the 30-year-old. Still, Cole generated an impressive 18.5% swinging-strike rate for the game, […]

Clint Frazier Hits First Career Postseason Home Run

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier went 1-for-2 with a 418-foot home run before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning of Monday’s game. Frazier had only one postseason at-bat coming into Monday’s game, but he drew the start against the Rays and drilled a 95.6-mph fastball into the seats in his first […]

Deivi Garcia To Start ALDS Game 2

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia will start against the Rays on Tuesday, with starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka to follow on Wednesday. Garcia finished the regular season with a lackluster 4.98 ERA over six starts, inflated by 10 runs allowed over his last 9.2 innings. Garcia has yet to face the Rays, but Tampa […]

Yankees Add Michael King To Postseason Roster

New York Yankees pitcher Michael King was added to the team’s postseason roster in advance of the ALDS. Used as a reliever and a spot starter during the regular season, King is likely to be used exclusively in relief (if at all) this postseason, and the 25-year-old’s status as an early-relief innings eater makes him […]

Two! Two-game slate! Ahh...Ahh...Ahhh! I love to count and play DFS! I also have two small children and obviously watch way too much Sesame Street. Let's talk about gambling instead.

Champ or Chump: Year in Review

Now that the 2020 fantasy baseball season has come to a close, it is time to assess your performance. Did you ignore red flags that you wish you hadn't? Was a strong process foiled by unpredictable factors outside of anybody's control? Both of these things are likely true to some extent. The key is to […]

Yankees To Continue Having Kyle Higashioka Catch Gerrit Cole

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka will be the primary catcher for starting pitcher Gerrit Cole through the rest of the playoffs, according to manager Aaron Boone. That declaration has Higashioka slated to start behind the plate against the Rays on Monday, and Monday will be Cole’s sixth consecutive start with Higashioka behind the plate. […]

Gio Urshela Hits Second Career Grand Slam

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela hit his second career grand slam as part of a 2-for-5 game against the Indians on Wednesday. A bone spur in his elbow sidelined Urshela for a handful of games this season, but the 28-year-old has hit well this season with a .858 OPS over 43 regular-season games. […]

Giancarlo Stanton Homers In Second Consecutive Game

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-2 and walked twice against the Indians on Wednesday, including a 420-foot blast for his second home run in as many games. Injuries have held Stanton to a combined 41 games over the past two seasons, but the 30-year-old is still one of the game’s […]

Masahiro Tanaka Struggles Against The Indians

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka allowed six runs over only four innings against the Indians on Wednesday. Tanaka’s final line was inflated by relief pitcher Chad Green allowing a pair of inherited runners to score, and Tanaka probably wasn’t helped by a 33-minute mid-game rain delay, but Wednesday’s performance was forgettable as he […]

Brett Gardner Starts Over Clint Frazier Again Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner will remain in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Cleveland, leaving Clint Frazier on the bench. Gardner went 3-for-5 with a home run during Game 1, unlikely to lose his spot after such a performance. Despite manager Aaron Boone talking up Frazier as of […]
