Fantasy Baseball

For fantasy baseball players uninitiated to the 162-game MLB grind, the 2015 campaign has already lasted forever. While it's nearing the finish line, roughly two months remain to chase a championship.

With most trade deadlines approaching and head-to-head playoffs in sight, make-believe managers across the world are pressing the panic button. Even if only down a few points, the cavernous gap between fourth and first can feel wider than the Springfield Gorge.

With a deep list of high-priced talent both as pitchers and hitters, you don't necessarily have to grab the top daily fantasy baseball players on August 11. As long as you grab some of the best options at each position and complement them with a few bargain picks, you could be in position to make some big money.

Here is a look at predictions for the top scorers for Tuesday's contests as well as a breakdown of some bargain options.

There are 15 games on the MLB schedule Tuesday night, allowing DraftKings daily fantasy players a full array of possibilities when it comes to setting a lineup.

Sleeper picks can sometimes make or break a fantasy baseball team's season, especially as the 2015 MLB season is quickly coming to a close. As the wear and tear of the long season continues to impact every team in MLB, it is important to find the right players performing admirably at the right time.

Today's late-season pickups feature former All-Stars, emerging young talents and veterans showing new life. Here are five players to keep an eye on as your fantasy baseball team begins a new week.

Ride a hot streak or plan ahead? Roster management is no easy task for fantasy baseball players fighting for positioning down the stretch.

This late into a trying, often frustrating season, many gamers have developed a quick hook for struggling options. There's no time to patiently wait for a star to get his act together, especially when alternatives are catching fire on the waiver wire.

Then again, streaks hot or cold don't last forever. There's nothing worse than a guy heating up for someone else after spending months tolerating his doldrums.

Sunday Funday is about to commence. In order to make sure the fun continues after fantasy baseball ends, DraftKings owners will need to build a balanced lineup.

Of all the aces operating on Sunday, none can take Max Scherzer's spot as the top DraftKings selection.

While the alternatives face tough matchups, the National League Cy Young candidate gets the Colorado Rockies away from Coors Field. Not the easiest tilt, but they're not an offense to avoid on the road against an ace. Roll with Scherzer despite a few recent hiccups.

After ponying up $13,200 for the Washington Nationals ace, look at these players to fill Sunday's lineup.  

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.

Not everyone needs an earth-shattering trade to save their fantasy baseball season.

A subdued transaction often gets the job done, especially in larger leagues where depth matters. Most peers also deserve the benefit of a doubt to not give away a superstar for nothing. Nobody was actually worried about Clayton Kershaw in May, right?
