Ben Revere (OF-WAS): Ben Revere went 1-for-5 with 1 run and 1 RBI to help back Max Scherzer against the Mets. 2016 has been a nightmare for Revere, who carries a .225/.269/.303 line into today's contest. He's only 10 for...

Lonnie Chisenhall (3B-CLE): Lonnie Chisenhall hit his 6th homer of the season to push his OPS to .829. He's posting career-highs in hard hit and line drive rates and is holding his own against lefties, upping his wOBA to over...

Christian Yelich (OF, Mia): Yelich went 2-4 with a home run and a double, scoring twice and driving in two runs. He also walked for the 38th time this season, and his slash line is now up to a toasty...

The waiver wire pick-up that becomes an All-Star. That's everyone's fantasy dream, right. Well, one of them, I guess. Both the American League and National League have put together their rosters for next week's game in San Diego. These things...

Eric Hosmer- 1B- KC- Idea- Hosmer has shown more power this season against southpaws, but with a .319/.384/.474 slash line against RH pitching he is still in good shape for a solid game. This is because he will be facing...

Matt Carpenter (STL) - Carpenter exited the Cardinals game in the 3rd inning on Wednesday night and after the game, Mike Matheny confirmed that the Cardinals' second baseman suffered an oblique strain and mentioned that the team has a "high...

Didi Gregorius (SS) NYY - Gregorius, fresh off a 337/368/535 month of June, had two singles, a double, and a steal in the 5-0 loss to Chicago Wednesday. He's showing more power than ever before, although it isn't really backed...

Maikel Franco Franco stayed red hot with a home run in his fourth straight game. The long ball was Franco's lone hit of the day, but he scored twice in addition to the HR and RBI. Franco homered in...

Josh Donaldson, Toronto Blue Jays - Josh Donaldson launched homers 21 and 22 Tuesday in the Blue Jays win and now is currently on pace to have career highs in a plethora of categories. Since the beginning of June, Donaldson...

Tim Anderson, SS, CWS Anderson went 2-4 with a HR on Monday, raising his BA to .308 and SLG to .519 through 107 PA's this season. Hitting leadoff for the White Sox has also helped his fantasy value as he...

Chad Green (SP) NYY - It's easy to dismiss a start against the Padres from a RHP, but there might be a bit more to Chad Green's outing than the opposition. Green held the Padres to 1 run on 3...

Andrew Cashner (SP, SD): Cashner returned from the disabled list and had an effective start against the Yankees, giving up two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks in six innings, striking out six. He still took the...

Joe Ross (SP-WAS): Joe Ross allowed 4 earned runs on 10 hits in 5 and 1/3 innings against the Reds. The super sophomore continues to struggle and his 3.93 xFIP suggests more regression could be on the way. Despite an...

CJ Cron, Los Angeles Angels - CJ Cron had a humongous on Saturday going 6-for-6 with two homers and he missed a third homer in his final at bat by maybe 15 feet. The homers leave him one short of...

Josh Tomlin-Indians-SP Josh Tomlin went 6.0 IP and gave up 1 ER on 7 H, 2 BB, and 6 K's against the Blue Jays. The Indians starters are on one heck of a role. Tomlin came into today's game with...

I know I wrote about the Indians last week, but they've won 13 in a row so I can't help myself. Let's take a look at some more of the Tribe players who have been playing well recently. Cody Allen,...

We all (should) realize that 'The Sopranos' is near the top of any list that ranks the best American television of all-time. We also know that if they announced a seventh season of the show, we would hope for the...
