As far as exciting series go, there aren’t many set to get underway. Some of the potentially lopsided matchups include the Pirates taking on the Dodgers, the Twins facing the Tigers and the Mets hosting the Nationals. Luckily, there are some noteworthy pitchers set to take the mound, including Walker Buehler,

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. May is almost over, but we have one more Sunday full of baseball to enjoy. Yahoo has two options for Sunday. A full slate of games, which starts at 11:35 a.m. EDT, or the 4:07 p.m. EDT slate, which is only six games. It’s a holiday weekend. I’m going full slate. Here are my recommendations. Pitching Max Fried, ATL vs. MIA ($48): Fried’s first start of the season was rough, but he quickly found his footing. After that disaster, he’s… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. Memorial Day Weekend and baseball go hand in hand. Saturday is busy, but not so much in the evening with only six games starting at 7:05 p.m. ET or later. Here are my recommendations for your DFS lineups. Pitching Joe Musgrove, SD vs. PIT ($51): Things have been good for Musgrove after he left Pittsburgh for San Diego with a 1.90 ERA through eight starts. Now he’ll be facing his former team, who happen to rank 29th in runs scored.

The language of baseball has a long history of infiltrating the English language at large. Habitually spinning off phrases that stood in for much bigger ideas — home run, three strikes, curveball — the game embedded itself in the American lexicon during its midcentury cultural heyday. But even the contemporary numbers-obsessed version of the sport has made major contributions to the world of letters. When Michael Lewis documented the data-guided rise of Billy Beane and the early 2000s… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. A 10-gamer awaits Monday’s main contest, with a typical 7:05 p.m EDT first pitch. The elephant in the room will be whether you’re paying up for Gerrit Cole ($54) or not. He’s $10 more than any other arm, the Yankees are huge favorites (-300) and he’s in terrific form against the always targetable Orioles. We’ll omit him from the breakdown, as he’s a clearly obvious choice if you can afford it. Pitching With Cole out of our… Source link

There are some early start times across baseball on Wednesday, including an afternoon matchup between the Pirates and Brewers in which Brandon Woodruff will start for Milwaukee. As far as the night games go, the matchup between the Mets and Giants has the potential to be a great pitchers duel between Carlos Rodon and Chris Bassitt. The two have combined to allow three runs over 24 innings this season. The Blue Jays and Red Sox will also take the field against each other in a matchup between… Source link

The regular season is less than two weeks old, but fantasy trade talks are already flying fast and furious in Yahoo! leagues. Here are some of my best tips for making April deals. You don’t need to wait I have never been able to relate to the manager who says that they need to watch at least one month of regular-season action before considering trades. Let’s be honest: If you had drawn a different draft slot, you would have drafted different players, especially in the early rounds. For… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. The holiday weekend is upon us and there’s plenty of baseball to look forward to. There are another 15 games on tap for Saturday and we are finally seeing some pitchers get stretched out a bit more with higher pitch counts. Let’s take a look at who we should consider in the DFS world. PITCHERS Julio Urias ($47) is a solid favorite at home and should bounce back from an ugly first outing in Colorado. He averaged over a strikeout per… Source link

Clayton Kershaw looked jovial in the Los Angeles Dodgers dugout, slapping backs and shaking hands. The scoreboard showed it was the eighth inning, and zeros remained in every slot except errors for the Minnesota Twins, but Alex Vesia was taking the mound. A bid for MLB’s first perfect game since 2012 was abandoned. By the time many heard that a living legend was throwing a perfect game on a Wednesday afternoon, Kershaw was done throwing anything at all. If you scrambled to a television or… Source link
