Obudel Herrera, SS, OF, PHI Herrera hit his first career homerun on Monday, finishing 1-4 in the game with 3 strikeouts. Homeruns will likely be a rarity for Herrera, as he only hit 13 throughout 5 seasons in the minors....

Melky Cabrera - Another 0-5 on Sunday dropped Cabrera to 8-34 with 1 HR for the month of May, dragging his season line down to 264/314/309. That's a putrid performance from a LF, particularly from one that is a notorious...

DFS Picks Best Pick: Gerrit Cole (SP-PIT) - Gerrit Cole should have a big day against the anemic Phillies offense on Monday night. So far this season, Cole is 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 9.84 K/9, and 3.73...

Alexei Ramirez The White Sox had a double-header, and Ramirez made the most of it, going 5-for-8 with a pair of home runs, four RBI, and three runs. The Cuban Missile has had a slow start to the 2015 campaign,...

Bartolo Colon, New York Mets - Draft Kings Value - $7,300: Bartolo Colon against the Phillies almost sounds like a no-brainer Sunday with how well Colon has pitched this year and with how bad the Phillies are. Granted, we all...

Welcome to MyFantasyFix's MLB DFS analysis. We'll provide the top plays and value plays at each position and offer some strategy along the way. When deciding who to play in a typical salary-cap daily fantasy game, there are a lot...

Jayson Werth (OF-WAS): Werth (shoulder) returned to the lineup with a bang, as the ailing veteran went 2 for 4 and hit his 1st homer of the season. Before the game, Werth told reporters from the Washington Post that the...

Alex Colome (SP-TB) Alex Colome has gotten off to a good start after joining the Rays rotation in late April. He is 2-0 with a 26.3% K Rate and a .184 ERA. Small sample size to be sure but there...

Jimmy Paredes- OF- BAL- Idea- Paredes carried a slash line .327/.339/.600 against righthanded pitching into last night's game. In 3 PAs against righthanders he hit a homer and walked twice. Today the Yankees will send Adam Warren and his slash...

Yasmani Grandal- Yasmani Grandal went deep twice on Thursday to double his season long output. Grandal as managed to drive in 8 runs on Thursday, which made his season long numbers seem a lot more palatable than they did on...

Adrian Beltre (3B-TEX): The Rangers erupted for 11 runs against the Astros, and Adrian Beltre played a pivotal part in the process, going 3 for 5 with 2 runs. While the surface numbers aren't pretty--.236/.282/.382--and have many screaming age decline,...

Starling Marte (OF-PIT) - I always saw Marte as the guy who would settle in as the #2 hitter between Polanco and McCutchen, but he's looking like more of a middle of the order type these days. Tuesday, Marte...

Adam Eaton (OF-CWS) There was a lot of excitement in Chicago when Eaton was signed in 2014. He is a plus defender and seemed to be that stabilizing force atop the line-up that was needed. Last season he batted .300,...

Phil Hughes, SP, MIN Hughes allowed another 2 homeruns in his start against the A's on Monday, ultimately allowing 5 ER in 6 IP. He has now allowed 8 homeruns on the season, which has been the primary culprit behind...

Brandon Moss-Indians-OF Brandon Moss was 0-3 with 2 RBI in the win over the Blue Jays. Moss is slashing .230/4/18 over his first 22 games. Moss is not going to hit for a high average, but should return to being...

Austin Hedges (C-SD): Reports out of San Diego project that the Padres will call up Austin Hedges on Monday for part time duties to occasionally spell Derek Norris. While his bat has always lagged behind his prowess behind the...

Happy Sunday to everyone! It looks like another big day in daily fantasy today. Before we get into the picks by position, I'd like to talk general strategy for the day's action. When deciding who to play in a typical...

DFS Picks: Jarred Cosart (SP-MIA) - Jarred Cosart's matchup against the Phillies on Sunday should be a piece of cake. Cosart has the opportunity to pitch at home, where his ERA and WHIP are 0.64 and 0.79 respectively. In general,...

Nelson Cruz, Seattle Mariners - Let's start this one off with the fact that Nelson Cruz's ISO is the 58th best slugging percentage in baseball at .463. He belted another two homers Saturday before being lifted for a pinch runner...

Jose Abreu- Jose Abreu is a very strong daily fantasy play on Saturday. His splits have been exaggerated to start the season as he has primarily been productive against right handed pitching. He is hitting .327 with 4 of his...

Jon Lester (SP-Cubs) Jon Lester has pitched much better than his 1-2 record indicates and today he showed why. He pitched 7 innings of shutout ball giving up only three hits and striking out 4. Lester has been averaging just...

Brian Dozier, 2B, MIN Dozier went 2-5 with his 2nd homerun of the season and collected 4 RBI on Thursday. He had gotten off to a bit of a slow start with only 1 HR and 1 SB coming into...

Joc Pederson- OF- LAN- Idea- Pederson's rookie season has started off with a bang. At home against right-handers he has hit (in an admittedly small sample size) .300 with 3 homers and 10 walks in 40 PAs. At a price...

Nelson Cruz (SEA) - Nelson Cruz stayed hot on Wednesday - scorching hot. The Mariners' big off-season signing has paid off in a big way through the first month with Cruz bashing his 10th home run on Wednesday night. Does...

Ryan Braun- This week has been a huge step towards Ryan Braun regressing towards a more favorable mean for his owners. Braun had been absent during the first three weeks of the season, but he finally seems to be coming...

Victor Martinez, 1B, DET Martinez went 0-4 on Tuesday and is 4-27 over his last 8 games, leaving him with a .232 BA for the season. His strikeout rate and line drive rate are right around his career norms, so...

Dexter Fowler (OF-CHC) - Fowler has been a spectacular addition for the Cubs this year, filling a need bot in center field and at the top of the lineup. Fowler went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI and his sixth...

Mike Moustakas-Royals-3B Mike Moustakas was 4-5 with 2 R and 1 RBI in the win against the Indians. Moustakas is hitting .342 with 3 HR and 7 RBI. Moustakas has showed an increased contact rate (88%) and decreased strikeout rate...

Steve Cishek, RP, MIA Cishek blew the save Monday allowing a three-run homer to Daniel Murphy and is now 1 of 3 in save chances. While his ERA sits at 11.37, he does have 6 strikeouts in 6.1 IP and...

DFS Picks: John Lackey (SP-STL) - Any pitcher who faces the Phillies has an immediate fantasy value. The Phillies are the lowest scoring team in the majors, only averaging 2.58 runs per game. Their team batting average and OBP are...

Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals - On a day where Carlos Carrasco facing the Tigers is the highest priced pitcher on the day, Lance Lynn against the Brewers for $8,800 seems like an absolute bargain. It's no secret that the...

Jed Lowrie Lowrie is a good guy to pick up, especially for teams in need of shortstop help. Lowrie is 6-for-11 in his last three games, and with Lowrie, the question is never whether he can hit, but whether he...

Joe Wieland (SP-LAN). The Dodgers have announced that they are calling Wieland up to start either Saturday or Sunday against the Padres. Wieland is an intriguing streaming option in NL-only leagues, as, when healthy, he has consistently put up K...
