We are about a week away from the non-waiver trade deadline in Major League Baseball. As of this articles publishing, we’ve had one blockbuster trade in the past week. That was the Yankees dealing closer Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs, who bolster their bullpen mightily. If the Cubs weren’t already the National League favorites, they…
It’s the Friday edition of BvP for MVP. Thank you for coming back today. On tap for today we have a full 15-game slate with a lot of games at hitter-friendly parks – Coors, Fenway, Camden, U.S. Cellular, Yankee Stadium, Rogers Centre and Miller Park; Pitching optiosn aren’t particularly great, though a lot of guys…
Excuse me for this intro, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. No, I am not sick, I was looking at tonight’s pitching options for the night slate of games. Quick poll: What is uglier, the following three pictures or tonight’s pitching options? Comment below, but I think the face swap of…
We have a full slate of action for tonight with some studs on the mound, a game at Coors, and a battle between two has beens that will be “never was” in 2016. That “battle” might be one of my favorite games to target bats in tournaments (hell, maybe even cash games) and you are…
Baseball is finally back! How did you spend the time off from baseball DFS? Researching for the Open Championship? Catching Charmanders, Squirtles and Pikachus via Pokemon Go? Well, I spent a few days enjoying family and nursing a sick child, our daughter’s first stomach bug. We all weathered the storm, she healed up and we…
Welcome to the final weekend of baseball before the lull known as the All-Star Break rears its ugly head. I personally only watch about 30 minutes to an hour of the home run derby and that’s about it for me for baseball that week. I don’t care about the exhibition game on Tuesday or who…
Sometimes BvP numbers are erratic. It’s why it’s a hot-button issue in daily fantasy baseball. I’ve been wanting to try something for some time and it’s using BvP data to predict who is due rather than who is going to do well. What that actually means is using players like Josh Donaldson in situations like…
Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a fun and safe 4th and didn’t perform your best Jason Pierre-Paul impersonation If you did, well, best of luck getting better! This is the last week before the MLB All-Star Break. I will likely mention again this week about how it’s the worst part of the year for…
Happy early Fourth of July! American Independence Day is a great day for baseball and I can’t wait to be sitting around the house with family and food and watching day baseball. I certainly enjoy it before the worst week in sports rears its ugly head – MLB All-Star Break. But I don’t want to…
Not gonna beat around the bush today, got a lot on my plate today, so not much of a narrative for this Hump Day. Today we have a split slate of games, the usual Wednesday baseball. As usual, we will only focus on the night set of games, which features some stud pitchers in great…
Saw a ridiculous stat last night about Kris Bryant’s offensive performance versus the Reds. He’s the first player since 1913 to hit 3 home runs and 2 doubles in one game. That’s 16 total bases and he had something like 60+ DraftKings fantasy points. Bryant scored nearly 8 times the points than that of Jake Arrieta who was…
After a short hiatus earlier in the week, I have returned to provide you a few (hopefully) better options than Tuesday. There are a lot of young arms on the mound tonight, so we had to dig deep (loosely stated) for some options tonight. We have a full 15-game slate with a game at Coors,…
