Dallas Keuchel, SP, HOU Keuchel had another dominating performance on Wednesday, allowing just one unearned in 7 IP while recording 14 outs on the ground, to improve to 6-0 on the season. His 6.40 K/9 remains low, but that shouldn't...

Adam Lind- 1B- MIL- Idea- Julio Teheran has had difficulties against LH hitters this season, with a slash line of .400/.500/.646. Lind has made himself prime trade bait in Milwaukee with a revival. He is particularly tough on RHP, with...

Jose Quintana, Chicago White Sox - Since his nine run implosion on April 19th, Jose Quintana has turned in stat lines of 7.0 innings with two runs or less in four of his five starts. This includes Tuesday where he...

Maikel Franco (3B-PHI) - Franco is off to a nice start in what he hopes is a permanent big league promotion. He went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's game and is now batting a solid...

Corey Kluber, SP, CLE In case you still weren't sure after last week's 18 strikeout performance, Kluber showed once again that he's still among the elite pitchers in baseball, striking out 12 White Sox in 9 IP, while allowing 1...

Lucas Duda - Duda is certainly a changed hitter this year, combating the ever-present shift with a more level, spray-hitter sort of a swing than we've seen from him in the past. Unsurprisingly, due to the combination of a change...

Noah Syndergaard-Mets-SP Noah Syndergaard pitched well in his second major league start on Sunday against the Brewers. Syndergaard showed good control and an overpowering fastball. Syndergaard struggled in 2014 at Triple-A and for that reason was not receiving as much...

DFS Picks: Nori Aoki (LF-SFG) - Nori Aoki is a pesky hitter who always seems to find himself on base. Aoki is likely to lead off on Sunday against the rookie Anthony DeSclafani. DeSclafani has pitched well this season, but...

Another big day in Daily Fantasy awaits us today! As usual, it's a Saturday split slate with 4 games in the afternoon and another 11 games in the evening. Each weekend, we publish our free analysis of the daily plays...

Eric Hosmer- Those of you who read my stuff in 2014 will remember that Eric Hosmer was one of my least favorite fantasy assets. I routinely recommended selling the Royals first baseman as his lack of power was a disturbing...

Maikel Franco (3B-Phillies) The long awaited 2015 debut of power hitting Phillies 3B rookie happened today as he batted 5th in the Phillies lineup. Franco was 0-4 in today's game. He was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to become...

Tim Lincecum- P- SF- Cold- Lincecum exhibited wildness yesterday, walking 5 in 4.2 IP. Only 53 of his 99 pitches were strikes. Lincecum allowed 3 runs on 5 hits while striking out 4. He looked more like the pitcher he...

Cody Allen (RP-CLE): Allen saved his 5th game of the season by tossing a scoreless 9th, securing the win for Kluber as the beleaguered closer continues to search for his 2014 form. While he has been unfortunate with a 8.25...

Michael Taylor- Michael Taylor hit a game winning grand slam on Wednesday. Taylor was an interesting name towards the beginning of the season, but the luster has come off Taylor despite his most recent success. His higher than normal K...

Chris Heston- P- SF- FYI- Coming from a team that rode Tim Lincecum's arm very hard for too long, seeing Chris Heston toss a complete game made me take a look at his pitch count. Heston did throw 111 pitches...

Alex Rodriguez (DH-NYY) $3300 Alex Rodriguez has been a very pleasant surprise for Fantasy owners this season batting .243 with 8 HR's and 20 RBI's. He is experiencing some hamstring soreness so we will have to watch his performance as...

Jeff Samardzija-White Sox-SP Jeff Samardzija went 6 IP and gave up 5 ER on 8 H, 1 BB, and 6 K in the loss against the Brewers. Samardzija was drafted as a fantasy ace coming into 2015. Samardzija has some...

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,...
