FanDuel: Beede Juice

September 26, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Here we are folks, we’ve made it to the last Thursday regular season. It’s been a wild ride but the fun isn’t over yet. As you set your lineups, keep an eye on the starting 9 as teams who are out of it or have already locked up their spot may elect to rest certain fantasy relevant players. So with that in mind, let’s get on to some picks.

First up is a value pick for pitcher, Tyler Beede (SP: $6,900)  The Rox will be in the Bay this week which should suppress the bombs. Beede hasn’t been stellar this season but he is capable of turning in a strong performance here. At least he can help the Giants close out the season on a high note and pick up some momentum for next season. (That’s how it works, right?) That’s totally how it works and the Giants will roll through the league next year. Anyhoo, that’s a wrap folks. Thanks for playing with us and we’ll see you all back here next season.

FanDuel: Yaz Baby!

September 19, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

We’re getting down to the final stretch for the 2019. It’s been a fun ride, but we still have more so buckle up and let’s win some DFS. 

What a welcome Mike Yastrzemski (OF: $3,200) got from the hometown Boston crowd in his grandfather’s ballpark. (No matter how many times I write his name, I still can’t spell it correctly on the first try.)  He celebrated his first start in Fenway by catching the first pitch and then blasting one into the seats. I’m excited about his power potential and think he can add to his total. Let’s keep the party going.

FanDuel: September Slugger

September 12, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Welcome in folks. How is it September already? I know it was September last week (after all I can usually read a calendar) but it didn’t really hit me until this week that baseball is in the closing stretch. We got our first taste of NFL action but those of you here are the true baseball die hards. Either that or you’re just fantasy addicts. Look I’m not here to judge, I’m in three season long baseball leagues and five for football. So I guess that makes me the addict. 

Anyhoo…September gives us a chance to see who the real breakouts were and who was a flash in the pan. All of this meandering brings me to Jeff McNeil (OF: $3,200) All season I’ve been just kinda waiting for him to cool off and he really hasn’t. He’s still batting over .320 and has managed to slug 20 homers. Yes I know that 20 homers isn’t as impressive as it used to be but he’s done far more damage in the second half, hitting nearly double his first half total. Translation: 7 in the first half, 13 (and counting post break). Long live the launch angle revolution. He’s rolling so roll with him today.

FanDuel: Thursdays Are For The Boyd(s)

September 5, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Surprisingly, we don’t have a super short slate today with 12 games on the docket. However, there is a decided lack of top tier pitching options. Enter Matthew Boyd (SP: $9,700)  He’s been ringing guys up but also struggling with the long ball. That gives him high upside but also makes him risky. The choice is yours. Personally, I’m in because the Ks are too enticing to pass up. The bot also loves him today so there’s that. He projects as the only elite pitching option today which definitely makes him worth a look. I say do it, you know you want to.

FanDuel: 30 For 30 Presents: Starling Marte?

August 29, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Will we get a pair of 30/30 seasons this year? Ronald Acuna is already there and could legitimately push for 40/40.  This is Starling Marte’s, (OF: $4,200) age 30 season so it seems fitting that he should join the club. If he wants to complete his quest, he sits at 23/24, he better put in some work today. That should be all the motivation he needs to help out your team. He’s coming on strong and Coors is just the place to keep it going.

FanDuel: Over the Pence

August 22, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

In this age of prospects and chasing the hot new thing we can sometimes forget about the veterans such as Hunter Pence (OF: $4,000)  What a steal he’s been for the Rangers. He’s been so much better than they could have possibly hoped when invited him to camp. Today’s matchup should give him another opportunity to keep doing what he’s been doing all season. I’m still sad he’s no longer a Giant, but it’s great to see him thriving. He’s not a cheap option but the way he’s been playing, he certainly earned it. Best not to overlook him.

FanDuel: Yaz He Can!

August 15, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Power, power, power. After never topping 15 bombs in a season in the minors, Mike Yastrzemski (OF: $3,100) has joined the revolution and already has 13 in the show in under 70 games. He’s single handedly powering the Giants to the playoffs. (ok, they’re likely on the outside looking in, but I can dream) Will it continue? You bet it will. Yaz just blasted his way past his great grandfather’s rookie home run record and he’s in the Hall of Fame. Boom, get him.

FanDuel: No Love for Jose?

August 8, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Welcome to Thursday, we’ve got a short slate today as usual, with only 8 games. – It feels strange to keep featuring Jose Ramirez (3B: $3,300) here but… that price. Seems it hasn’t quite caught up to his recent surge. Don’t forget that he was one of the best fantasy players in the league not all that long ago. The way he’s been playing he’s worth top dollar but right now you don’t have to pay it. Sounds like a great deal to me, especially with the limited options today.

FanDuel: The Bo Show

August 1, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel |

by:

Welcome to August people. It’s hard to believe that July is already over, but here we are. The trade deadline has passed and we saw some surprising action (looking at you Mets and Reds) It certainly made things interesting as we watched our teams decide whether to buy or sell. I was happy to see the Giants make some moves without selling the farm. I’ve got a thing for prospects, it must be the allure of the shiny new kid on the block. They give hope to their fanbase that the future is bright.

The future is certainly bright in the North now that top prospect  Bo Bichette (SS: $2,700) is in the show.  Its an extremely small sample size but the early results are very promising. Fortunately, the small sample can actually help us in DFS before pitchers have time to adapt to him. If he’s batting leadoff, all the better for his value. That spot should provide him ample opportunity to run. He just crushed his first bomb and there should be plenty more where that came from. This ride is just getting started.

Fanduel: Triple A(ce)

July 25, 2019 | 2019 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, Fanduel | 4 Comments

We’ve got some really strong pitching pitching options today with a couple bona fide aces in Max Scherzer ($12,000) and Jacob deGrom ($10,900) and they have the high price tags to match. They’re both great options as always but I’m a big fan of Jose Berrios (SP: $9,300) at his price today. He’s been a bit rocky recently but he last turn was encouraging. As long as he can keep the free passes in check he can dominate the Pale Hose. You can’t go wrong with Scherzer or deGrom, but save yourself a little to nab a top bat. Berrios is right on the edge of being an ace every time out as well. The talent is there and this matchup should allow him to showcase it.
