A full slate of games throughout Saturday provides daily fantasy baseball competitors with plenty of high-profile choices no matter what contests they enter. However, you often need some bargain picks to really help separate you from the pack.

If you want to draft guys like Noah Syndergaard or Paul Goldschmidt, you better be set to counter it with one of these value plays.

The days leading up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline are some of the most anticipated of the entire Major League Baseball season, and this latest edition did not disappoint.

There were blockbusters early and right up until the deadline. Teams made them while in the thick of divisional and Wild Card races as well as on the fringe of postseason discussions.

After last week's trade deadline craziness, the 2015 MLB season got back to plain, ol' baseball in its 18th week of action. All told, it was a nice change of pace.

Happen to miss anything? Worry not, friend. We're here to recap the good stuff.

Evidently, the Texas Rangers feel the key to getting back to the postseason for the first time since 2012 is to reunite with as many members of that team as possible.

And given the names they're reuniting with, that's actually not a bad idea.

Fact: The Blue Jays are 8-0 with Troy Tulowitzki in the starting lineup. He becomes the first player in Blue Jays history to win each of his first eight starts with the team.

Yes, you read that right. 

A washing machine.

Sean McCarthy threw a washing machine to set a Guinness World Record at Great American Ball Park after last Friday's Cincinnati Reds game.

He chucked it 15 feet and nine inches.

DraftKings players dig the long ball.

With one swing of the bat, position players can almost certainly exceed their per-game average for fantasy points and give your lineup a huge boost. When hunting for home run-hitting candidates on Friday's schedule, you should focus on two matchups.

Nothing complicates a decision quite like an abundance of high-quality choices.

The MLB trade deadline may be in the rearview mirror, but that doesn't mean teams can't improve their roster over the next month.

During Wednesday's game at Coors Field, a Seattle Mariners fan went for a foul ball but instead wound up "catching" Colorado Rockies left fielder Kyle Parker.

At the top of the sixth inning, Mariners shortstop Ketel Marte hit a ball in foul territory down the left field line. The Mariners fan made sure to keep his eyes on the ball as he went for the catch.
