Some tough match ups tonight but I got some good value up the middle and in the outfield. Here is my daily fantasy line up for today. (Players values are based on what draftkings.com rankings) P: Aaron Nola, Phillies vs. Reds ($8,200): Nola struggled in his last start but a home match up against the Reds at this price was hard to pass up. P: Sean Manaea, A’s at Dodgers ($7,800):…
I am focusing on the 1:05 pm starts for today. I’ve got $50K to spend. Here are the match ups I like for today. P: Jose Berrios, Twins vs. Mariners ($ 10,000): Berrios wasn’t cheap but coming off of a dominant performance against the Orioles, I expect him to pick up where he left off at home against the free swinging M’s. P: Lucas Giolito, White Sox vs. Tigers ($7,100):…
I am focusing on the 7:05 starts tonight. I like a lot of the early game match ups. Here is my line up for this evening. P: Justin Verlander, Astros ($11,600) vs. Orioles: Verlander at home against the struggling Orioles is a no brainer despite the cost. P: Kyle Freeland, Rockies ($8,200) vs. Padres: I will take most quality starters at Petco against the Padres top heavy line up. Freeland…
I decided to focus on the 1:05 starts today. I like the match ups better than I do in the later games. Here is how I spent my $50,000. P: Jose Quintana (Cubs) vs. Marlins ($11,700): Despite having their hands full against the Marlins in this series, I like Quintana today. He should have success against the righty heavy Marlins line up. P: Michael Fulmer (Tigers) vs. Pirates ($7,800): Fulmer…
Here at rotoplanner.com, we use a standard $50,000 dollar salary cap. With that in mind, here is my daily line up for today. P: Mike Foltynewicz, vs. Phillies ($6,500): Folty is a strikeout pitcher and I like him against the free swinging Phillies. P: David Price vs. Rays ($10,100): Price will flirt with double digit strikeouts against his former team. C: Austin Hedges vs. Brewers ($2,900): Hedges is cheap and…

With the third pick of the first round, I took the Rockies Nolan Arenado. Fantasy Baseball is in full swing so I thought it would be a good idea to share one of the teams I drafted with you. If for no other reason, I can give a model to build your own team. For this season, I will be playing in three standard leagues as well as daily fantasy….
San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner will miss 6-8 weeks with a fracture in his pitching hand after getting hit with a line drive in his last spring training start of the season. Bumgarner’s injury is a devastating blow to a Giants rotation that was already thin and dealing with the injury to Jeff Samardzija. Samardzija has a shoulder issue and is expected to miss the first four weeks of…
Player data courtesy of fangraphs.com. The internet leader in baseball analytical data. I believe that players who play multiple positions are a precious commodity in fantasy baseball. It is important to carry two or three players on your roster that can play at least two positions or more. I am not talking about high end talent like Buster Posey and Kris Bryant. I am talking about good players that you…
The Baltimore Orioles signed veteran right hander Alex Cobb to a four year, $60 million dollar deal yesterday. It is a good move for the Orioles as they look to solidify a starting rotation that lacks depth and experience. Cobb immediately becomes Baltimore’s ace and along with Andrew Cashner, Chris Tillman and Dylan Bundy gives the Orioles a competitive but uninspiring rotation. The Orioles have a history of signing starting…
