This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. Saturday is packed to the brim with MLB action as there are 17 games on the slate. That’s more than there are teams for, which means doubleheaders and those matchups are removed from DFS contention. The main slate of contests start at 7:10 p.m. EDT. Here are my lineup recommendations. Pitching Zac Gallen, ARI vs. SD ($53): Gallen’s scoreless streak ended, but he only allowed three runs in six innings with 11 strikeouts at Coors… Source link

After a fairly muted Thursday schedule, all 30 teams are set to be in action Friday. There will only be one day game, leaving us with a loaded night slate. As far as top pitchers go, there will be plenty for us to enjoy. The most notable name is Justin Verlander (calf), who is expected to come off of the injured list to start against the Athletics. We are also set to see Robbie Ray, who will try to improve on his 12-9 record in a matchup with the Angels. With so many options to wade through… Source link

Thursday brings a limited schedule consisting of only eight games. There will be no shortage of important matchups, though. One game with playoff implications features the Guardians hosting the White Sox, who are nipping at their heels in the AL Central standings. Another will be the Blue Jays and Ray wrapping up their series. Both are probably too far back to catch the Yankees in the AL East, but they are jockeying for positioning among the AL Wild Card spots. Let’s get to the task at hand… Source link

There won’t be a ton of baseball played Monday with just nine games on the schedule. We’ll see a doubleheader between the Rangers and Marlins among the nine games, which doesn’t exactly bring much excitement given the losing records for both teams. The game with the most playoff implications will be an AL East battle between the Blue Jays and Rays. The Mets and Braves will continue their quests for the NL East crown, with the Mets hosting the Cubs and the Braves traveling to San Francisco to… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. This late into the MLB season, I believe we are experiencing a first. All 15 MLB games Sunday are included in the main slate of DFS contests on Yahoo. The early Peacock game isn’t happening, so every game is starting at 1:05 p.m. ET or later. That means you have as many options as possible, so here are some recommendations to help navigate a busy slate. Pitching Aaron Nola, PHI vs. WAS ($47): Nola’s 3.35 ERA is plenty impressive,… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. Baseball’s rules will soon be changing thanks to a Friday vote, but that’s a story for another season. For now, let’s focus on the nine MLB games taking place Saturday in Yahoo’s main slate of contests that now starts at 4:10 p.m. EDT as the Royals-Tigers moved up their game to try and avoid an evening rainstorm. Here are my recommendations. Pitching Max Fried, ATL at SEA ($48): Fried is making a run at the Cy Young with a torrid… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. After a quiet Thursday, baseball ramps back up with 15 games Friday. One of the biggest series features the Yankees battling the Rays at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have had a sizable lead in the AL East for most of the season, but the Rays have made it a race down the stretch. Another noteworthy series will take place out West when the Padres host the Dodgers. Although the Dodgers have run away with the NL West, these games are… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. The holiday brings a bevy of games across baseball Monday. There will be plenty of early start times, including what could be a key matchup between the Yankees and Twins. Albert Pujols, who is only five home runs away from reaching 700 for his career, will look to add another to his tally when the Cardinals host the Nationals. Out West, the Dodgers will continue their march towards one of the best records in baseball when they… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. Next week, the NFL will own Sunday. This week, though, Sunday still belongs to MLB (OK, and one college football game). There are 14 games for me to look at, as per usual, but the first one starts at 12:10 p.m. ET now. Blame the rain in Cincinnati for that. Here are a few suggestions for your lineups. Pitching Zac Gallen, ARI vs. MIL ($54): Five starts. That’s how long Gallen has gone without allowing a run. Lefties have hit .151… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. A lot of people are going to be focused on college football Saturday. Hey, I’m going to be checking it out as well. But don’t forget about MLB. There are nine games on the slate for the DFS contests. Here are my lineup recommendations. Get your rosters in, watch some football and baseball, and hopefully cash in with some DFS success! Pitching Max Scherzer, NYM vs. WAS ($56): You aren’t exactly saving salary here, but it’s hard not… Source link
