Daily Fantasy

Even if you have been playing daily fantasy baseball all season long, there are still new players who can surprise you with big-time efforts. This is especially true in September with young studs getting their first glimpses of the majors.

Here is a look at the top options for September 4 with players who might have been a bit off the radar to this point.

Wednesday's plethora of MLB games allows DraftKings participants to make the most out of low-value offensive options. Pitching aces such as Max Scherzer, Matt Harvey and Clayton Kershaw are a few of the upper-tier pitchers set to take the mound on Wednesday.

With a focus set on bargain positional players in order to make room for high-quality pitching options, here are the best DraftKings fantasy baseball picks for Wednesday.

The key to success in daily fantasy baseball is fielding a lineup with the right mix of high-priced talent and low-budget players who may outperform their expectations.  Tuesday night's MLB schedule has all 30 teams in action, allowing for a wide variety of options to choose from in DraftKings contests.

Below are the top three names at each position, as well as five bargain picks to help fill out your roster.

All but one game on a packed Sunday Major League Baseball schedule is a matinee. That means a ton of options for DraftKings players. There's only so much salary to go around, so it's easy to get overwhelmed in this situation. 

We can't go big on every selection. You're going to need to find some sleepers and bargain options. Here are five for Sunday's schedule, including a low-cost pitcher to watch on the mound.

Does anyone else feel like this was the fantasy football draft weekend of the summer? I'm in three leagues, and all three of my drafts were this weekend.

What's the deal? Football is still 11 days away. I don't want to have to shift my focus from baseball to football yet. Hopefully you don't either. Let's jump right into today's baseball primer.

With few afternoon games available, daily fantasy baseball competitors might as well wait for the night session to create a lineup Saturday. The good news is there will still be plenty of options on the board even with a smaller slate of games.

Considering how inconsistent the top options like Corey Kluber and Jon Lester have been this year, you might be better off saving money with some balance across the board. Here is a look at some of the best bargain picks for August 29.

According to ESPN.com, the MLB playoffs start on October 6. That means two things.

One, playoff baseball is almost here! It's less than 40 days until the ever-tense Wild Card Round begins. Eek! I'm giddy!

It almost feels like Opening Day with so many aces on the mound. There will be no shortage of elite pitching options in Friday's daily fantasy baseball contests, so the challenge will be picking the right ones and balancing your lineup to help you come out on top.

Here is a look at the best and worst options across the board for August 28.

Players to Draft

When only five afternoon and six evening games frequent the schedule, DraftKings makes it much tougher on players to pinpoint bargains for their daily fantasy baseball lineups.

Thursday's slate of MLB games may be limited, but there is still plenty of daily fantasy baseball to be played. But with so many players to pick apart, whittling down the options can still be a difficult task even with only six night games.

Luckily, we've taken the time to pull out a few players to target and trash for Thursday on DraftKings. So before locking in your lineups, take a look at these players for your rosters.
