Fan News

We were on the right side of FanDuel's 50/50 leagues yesterday.  On a high-scoring day, we were in the 60th percentile or better (in most June 5 daily leagues) with 37.5 points.  Carlos Martinez's gem at Dodger Stadium was the difference.

As always, confirm that your chosen players are in their respective lineups, and stay away from games that may be rained out.  An excellent website for lineups and weather is Rotowire.com.  

Things got a little stinky (had to do it) during the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers game on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. 

Four skunks were trapped inside the Cardinals dugout underneath a photographer stand before the game started. Stadium operations staff and animal control teamed up to attempt to remove the animals, but they had no luck.

The 2015 MLB draft class is loaded with pitching talent. The deep group features both college and high school arms, and at a time when an organization can't have enough depth on the mound, the hurlers are probably going to fall off the board in Round 1.

Whether you plan to spend a lot of money on pitching or you want to look for the bargains, you can't win in daily fantasy baseball unless you get a lot of value from your pitchers. This doesn't mean you need to draft one of the top names such as Felix Hernandez or Clayton Kershaw, but you better get someone who can get points.

Here is a look at those who should provide the most value in both the early and late contests for June 6.

On a day dominated by pitching, daily fantasy baseball players will distinguish themselves by picking profitable hitters on DraftKings.

And so, the 2015 Major League Baseball season rolls ever onward. It's already nine whole weeks old!

To celebrate the occasion, we'll do what we always do at the end of the week: round up the big storylines and dig in.

This was a particularly busy week, so we have 10 storylines to cover. They range from awesome sluggers doing awesome slugger things to good teams hitting the skids to one of the weirdest baseball storylines in recent memory.

We'll go in order from least interesting to most interesting. Step into the box whenever you're ready.
