There are only four MLB games going tonight for use in daily fantasy leagues at FanDuel, all of them in the American League, and all of them featuring teams that have been putting up runs. Well, all teams but one. The Twins have been struggling during an eight game slide...

A pair of pitching prospects face one another in San Diego tonight as Tyler Lyons of the Cardinals will go against Burch Smith of the Padres. Smith has shown a good slider, but he has given up a lot of runs in two games to the Nationals and Rays. Lyons...

I certainly have not been shy about picking on the Phillies this year when putting together rosters for FanDuel. But just yesterday I said that any pitcher facing the Marlins is worth a look. So what happens tonight when the Phillies face the Marlins? I think it might be time to...

It is clear that anyone pitching against the Marlins is worth a look. Last night Brandon McCarthy, who had been struggling, pitched a complete game against them. The team has already been shut out 8 times this year in 42 games, a remarkable 19% of the time. In May, the...

Tonight is A.J. Burnett bobblehead night at PNC Park. Burnett has been great for the Pirates, and facing the Astros lineup and their propensity to strikeout tonight, it could be a good night for Burnett, available for $7,200 at FanDuel for your daily fantasy roster. I think there are some...

Cardinals starter P Shelby Miller is still available for only $7,700 at FanDuel and that is a crime. He has been simply great this year, and the Mets strike out more than all but six teams. And the Mets have not been good at Busch stadium. I am going with...

LOOGY stands for Lefty One Out Guy, and it describes pitchers who get called in at critical moments to shut down a left-handed hitting threat. But they are often sub-par against righties, and therefore quickly removed after recording their one out. The Twins will have Pedro Hernandez pitching tonight to...

How to pay for Mets P Matt Harvey ($9,200) today: D’Backs pitcher Brandon McCarthy is not having a good year, and lefties are hitting him .358. Ryan Howard is cold at the plate right now, hitless in his last four, but today may be a day to use him for...
