DFS Strategy & Value Plays for June 14

4 days ago | rotowire.com | Dan Marcus

This article is part of our DraftKings MLB series. The majority of Saturday's games will be in the afternoon, so the main slate begins at 4:05 p.m. EDT featuring eight games. Let's break it all down. Hunter Brown ($10,900) is the highest-salaried pitcher by $600 and is comfortably the top option of the day. He's also the only one with a strikeout rate above 30 percent, so the only drawback is a slightly below-average matchup against the Twins.
Top Fantasy Baseball Picks from Struggling Teams

4 days ago | rotowire.com | Dan Marcus

We still have a lot of baseball left to play, but there are already several teams that have very little or no chance of reaching the postseason. Those teams fade to the background in fans' minds and get little attention on podcasts and other sports media, but that doesn't mean there aren't good fantasy options on those rosters. In this week's points league column, we'll look at some of the best fantasy players on the worst teams in the league.

This article is part of our NBA All-Quarter Century Team series. The Timberwolves have had an interesting 25 years of the 21st century. They've reached the Western Conference final three times, including each of the past two seasons. On the other hand, they went 13 consecutive campaigns without qualifying for the postseason, spanning 2004 to 2016. Through the ups and downs, they've had a number of star players.

There are seven games in the afternoon, with contests kicking off at 1:05 pm ET. That's followed up with six games in the evening, beginning at 7:10 pm ET.

This article is part of our DraftKings MLB series. As usual, we have a full schedule of games Tuesday. That features an 11-game main slate that kicks off at 7:10 pm EDT.

DFS Strategy & Value Plays for June 7

1 week ago | rotowire.com | Dan Marcus

This article is part of our DraftKings MLB series. Action is scheduled throughout Saturday, giving us four slates with at least three games. The main slate kicks off at 4:05 p.m. EDT with seven matchups, and that will be the topic for our following recommendations. Hunter Brown ($10,300) stands alone this season in terms of salary, results and skills. His 30.7 percent K rate is over three points higher than the next best player while he's limited opposing hitters to a .185 average.
Best Place to Catch a Home Run at Dodger Stadium

1 week ago | rotowire.com | Dan Marcus

Dodgers Stadium is one of the most iconic parks in Major League Baseball. It particularly stands out along the West Coast, where teams such as the Giants, Mariners and Padres all play in relatively modern stadiums. In contrast, Dodgers Stadium offers a historic stadium for those looking to catch a game in the region. Of course, the team is also a major draw for fans and MLB betting appeal.
