I am going with a classic line up today. I’ve 50K to spend on Draft Kings and here is how I used my allotment. P: Jeremy Hellickson, Nationals vs. Padres ($8,000): I love the match up against the free swinging Padres. Hellickson is averaging 16.1 points per game in DFS. P: Vince Velasquez, Phillies vs. Braves ($7,800): Velasquez was terrific in his last start. There is some risk here against…
I am going with a classic line up tonight. With a loaded slate scheduled for the 7:05 tonight, I have to jump on this. Here is how I spent my $50,000 on Draft Kings. P: Jon Lester, Cubs at Reds ($7,700): Lester is an affordable option tonight and he has history pitching at the Great American Ballpark. The Reds are playing better but I like Lester in this match up. P:…

(Mike Stone/AP) With Gerrit Cole pitching tonight against the Angels, I decided to pick him and go pitching heavy. I over spent on Cole but he’s been so good thus far that I think he is worth spending 14K on. Here is my classic line up for tonight. Line up based on Draft Kings Classic format. P: Gerrit Cole, Astros at Angels ($13,900): It’s a steep price but Cole is…
As we enter week seven in standard fantasy baseball leagues, there are several big name producers that are still available on the waiver in leagues across the country. Here are ten players you should target if they are available in your league. 1. Scooter Gennett, 2B, Reds: Gennett is scorching hot right now. He hit five home runs in seven games last week for the surging Reds who swept the Dodgers…
The Scooter is rolling right now in Cincinnati. It’s the first installment of View from the Seats. Each Sunday, I will give my thoughts on the week that was in fantasy sports. 1. Reds second basemen Scooter Gennett is absolutely raking right now. He has hit home runs in five of his last seven games. 2. Orioles starter Dylan Bundy has been an absolute train wreck of late.

Here is my line up for today. P: Mike Foltynewicz, Braves at Marlins ($9,500): Jose Quintana shut down the Marlins yesterday and I am hoping that Folty and his fastball can do the same thing…
The New York Mets traded pitcher Matt Harvey to the Cincinnati Reds for catcher Devin Mesoraco and cash in a deal of broken down all stars. The trade marks the end of Harvey’s tumultuous tenure in New York. It was a bumpy ride for Harvey who went from being the Dark Knight three years ago to a villain this season. Prior to having Tommy John surgery, Harvey was on his…
