FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (8/4/16): MLB DFS Advice

I have to say, twelve games on the slate is pretty pleasing for a Thursday. I'd love a few more to be on the Main contest, but a five-seven split makes things pretty interesting for both slates - and FanDuel has an All Day option as well. As far as any insights we might pull […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It may be lost on people, but a baseball player's career isn't automatically over if they are just now performing in the majors at 28-years old, as is the current case with Padre infielder Ryan Schimpf.

Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups: Outfield

Max Kepler smacked three home runs for the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Today, he remains owned in just 36% of leagues. In fact, he leads the league with 11 HR since July 1. The German sensation should be added in all leagues. But Kepler's fate remained relatively unchanged after the flurry of activity over the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Derek Norris has slumped in July, seeing his average drop down below .200 again. He's still got the potential to do something, especially if the Padres continue trading off people before the deadline. He could do some damage in a hitter's […]

The trade deadline is nearly upon us and many names are bound to switch leagues.

Ryan Schimpf (2B/3B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Schimpf’s nine home runs over the last month are the most in MLB (tied with Mark Trumbo, who last weekend became the first player to reach the 30-homer plateau in 2016).

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/26/16): MLB DFS Advice

A 15 game slate in which every game takes place under the lights is a thing of DFS beauty. There are actually 16 games today, thanks to the Mets-Nationals doubleheader, but the early game isn't relevant to daily fantasy.
