DFS Picks: Logan Forsythe (2B-TB) - It's hard not to pick Logan Forsythe in DFS leagues when a lefty is pitching. Forsythe's .299 AVG against LHP is 26 points higher than his AVG against RHP. He also has a 16.7...

DFS Picks: The Trio Daniel Murphy (2B-NYM) - All the signs point to Murphy having a big day on Saturday. To start, Murphy will be playing in Cincinnati. Great American Ballpark has above average Park Factors in runs, home runs,...

DFS Picks: Logan Forsythe (2B-TB) - There are too many reasons to pick Logan Forsythe in DFS leagues. On Saturday Forsythe and the Rays are set to face off against Wei-Yin Chen and the Orioles. In his career against Chen...

DFS Picks: Yovani Gallardo (SP-TEX) - It's time to give Yovani Gallardo the respect he deserves. This season Gallardo has cruised through lineups to the tune of a 3.35 ERA. On Friday Gallardo will matchup against the Seattle Mariners, who...

Add Drops: Chris Coghlan (OF-CHC) - Chris Coghlan has adjusted nicely to batting third. On Saturday night Coghlan had a crucial two run double and run scored in Chicago's 5-7 loss. As the three hitter, Coghlan is hitting .255 with...

DFS Picks: Nathan Eovaldi (SP-NYY) - Nathan Eovaldi is an automatic win. On Saturday Eovaldi and the Yankees will host the Rays. At home, Eovaldi is 5-0 with a 3.08 ERA and a .239 BAA. Despite the small dimensions of...

DFS Picks: Drew Hutchison (SP-TOR) - Drew Hutchison is unbeatable at home. This season Hutchison is 11-1 with a 2.46 ERA at Rogers Centre. He also has a .226 BAA and a 7.90 K/9. Hutchison's dominance at home warrants DFS...

DFS Picks: Noah Syndergaard (SP-NYM) - At home Noah Syndergaard is a lock. 7-1 with a 1.82 ERA, I'll take that any day. Splits aside, Syndergaard owns a 9.80 K/9 and a 1.14 WHIP. His 96.9 MPH fastball ranks in...

DFS Picks: Drew Smyly (SP-TB) - Ignore Drew Smyly's stat line against the Rangers, because it was his first start in over three months. Smyly, who had missed time with a shoulder injury, should look good as new against the...

DFS Picks: Best Pick: Carlos Carrasco (SP-CLE) - If you need a sure thing then Carlos Carrasco is your guy. Over his last ten starts Carrasco has thrown eight or more innings five times. In three of those five outings...

DFS Picks: Top Pick Cole Hamels (SP-TEX) - When the opposition's offense averages 3.51 runs/game at home, you have a chance to make a killing. Cole Hamels is set to take on a Mariners lineup that only has three offensive...

DFS Picks: Derek Dietrich (2B-MIA) - Derek Dietrich makes an interesting DFS pick against Bartolo Colon. Dietrich's .527 SLG, .895 OPS, and .263 ISO are elite. Factor in Bartolo's .316 BAA lefties and 5.57 ERA on the road, and this...

DFS Picks: Kyle Gibson (SP-MIN) - Kyle Gibson comes at a DFS discount due to his consecutive six run outings. Unlike Gibson's previous two opponents (NYY and LAA), the Mariners do not have a dangerous offense. This season Seattle is...

DFS Picks: Xander Bogaerts (SS-BOS) - One matchup I'm interested in watching on Friday is Xander Bogaerts versus Justin Verlander. This season Bogaerts is hitting .306 with a .364 BABIP and a 15.3% K rate. His opposition, Verlander, has been...

DFS Picks: Rubby De La Rosa (ARI-SP) - Ignore Rubby De La Rosa's 5.06 ERA and 4.72 FIP on Monday. De La Rosa is set to take on the Marlins, who are a train wreck without Giancarlo Stanton. Since losing...

DFS Picks: Kendall Graveman (SP-OAK) - Kendall Graveman has been absolutely spectacular since returning from the minor leagues. His ERA has dropped 5.11 points, and his innings total is on the rise. Since his call up on May 23rd, Graveman...

DFS Picks: Mike Bolsinger (SP-LAD) - Right now the Mets couldn't score against a little league team. This makes Mike Bolsinger a must start in DFS leagues. In Bolsinger's last six starts, he has only allowed two home runs. During...

DFS Picks: Chris Carter (1B-HOU) - Chris Carter will be an extremely high-risk high reward player on Friday. Carter and the Astros are set to take on Justin Masterson in Boston. At home, Masterson has allowed 15 walks in 20...

DFS Picks: Mark Buehrle (SP-TOR) - Nick Martinez is no match for Mark Buerhle and the Blue Jays. Over his last five games, Buehrle is 2-0 with two complete games. In four of those five starts, he has given up...

High Risk High Payoff: Domonic Brown (OF-PHI) - Due to the limited slate of NL games on Monday, very few guys qualify as good DFS value picks. Most players are iffy at best, and few have a high upside. As...

DFS Picks: Jeff Baker (2B-MIA) - Jeff Baker is a righty specialist with tons of pop. It's a good thing Jorge De La Rosa is starting on Sunday, because that means you can pencil Baker into your DFS lineup. Although...

DFS Picks: Mike Bolsinger (SP-LAD) - Mike Bolsinger has been extremely reliable this season. His average fastball velocity might only be 86.6 MPH, but this hasn't stopped him from maintaining a 1.98 ERA. On Monday night, Bolsinger will have to...

DFS Picks: Billy Burns (OF-OAK) - How couldn't you pick Billy Burns in DFS leagues right now? Over his last seven games, Burns is 11 for 32 with six runs scored, four RBIs, and three stolen bases. On Saturday, Burns...

DFS Picks: Nathan Karns (SP-TB) - Nathan Karns will put his skills to the test against the Orioles on Friday. This season, Karns is 3-2 with a 3.71 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. In seven of his nine starts, Karns...

DFS Picks: Brandon Belt (1B-SFG) - Brandon Belt is a great candidate to hit for extra bases against Kyle Lohse on Monday night. This season, Lohse has been anything but effective at home. In 26.2 IP at Miller Park, Lohse...

DFS Picks: Nori Aoki (LF-SFG) - Nori Aoki is a pesky hitter who always seems to find himself on base. Aoki is likely to lead off on Sunday against the rookie Anthony DeSclafani. DeSclafani has pitched well this season, but...

DFS Picks Best Pick: Gerrit Cole (SP-PIT) - Gerrit Cole should have a big day against the anemic Phillies offense on Monday night. So far this season, Cole is 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 9.84 K/9, and 3.73...

DFS Picks: Jarred Cosart (SP-MIA) - Jarred Cosart's matchup against the Phillies on Sunday should be a piece of cake. Cosart has the opportunity to pitch at home, where his ERA and WHIP are 0.64 and 0.79 respectively. In general,...

DFS Picks: John Lackey (SP-STL) - Any pitcher who faces the Phillies has an immediate fantasy value. The Phillies are the lowest scoring team in the majors, only averaging 2.58 runs per game. Their team batting average and OBP are...

DFS Picks: Kris Bryant (3B-CHC) - Kris Bryant didn't hit any home runs on Saturday, but he did reach base five times. Bryant displayed veteran level maturity by walking three times in six plate appearances. In each of those at...

DFS Picks: Nathan Karns (SP-TB) - Nathan Karns is an extremely cheap DFS pickup for Sunday. Karns comes in at a low price due to his inexperience at the major league level, and his poor performance on Tuesday. He may...

Immediate Waiver Wire Pickup!!!! Jason Grilli (RP-ATL) - Hot off the press. Jason Grilli looks like the favorite to close in Atlanta now that Craig Kimbrel is a Padre. In spring training, Grilli made the most of his eight innings...

Back to Their Old Ways? Edwin Jackson (SP-CHC) - Not to be a bully but Edwin Jackson is a fantasy disaster. As a Cub fan, I cringe every time Jackson takes the mound. Much to surprise, he has actually been...

Rising Stars: Mookie Betts (BOS-CF) - Let's start things off with one of the hottest batters in spring training, Mookie Betts. In 29 at bats Betts already has 13 hits, seven of which have gone for extra bases. If the...

James Paxton (SEA-SP) - One of my favorite sleepers from last season was James Paxton. Paxton is a hard throwing lefty with the potential to be a top of the rotation pitcher. However, he is a risky fantasy pick as...
