MLB Hitter Analysis Tuesday October 2nd (By Patrick Smith): Only two more days (including today) left in the 2012 MLB regular season. I’m sure the daily fantasy sports sites will still have daily fantasy baseball contests during the playoffs, but it won’t be the same. If you’re looking to end your daily fantasy baseball season with a bang then check out DraftKings’ $10K Walkoff contest on Wednesday.

MLB Hitter Analysis Monday October 1st (By Patrick Smith): There aren’t many things better than Major League Baseball in October. Well except for daily fantasy baseball in October. The season might be winding down, but our daily fantasy baseball analysis is still going strong. Whenever the daily fantasy sports sites offer MLB contests we’ll be covering them! As the season winds down make sure you double check starting lineups to make sure they aren’t resting players for the playoffs.

MLB Hitter Analysis Sunday September 30th (By Patrick Smith): It’s another great Sunday for daily fantasy sports. I’m playing in a ton of daily fantasy football contests today and still have to tweak my lineups, so the hitter analysis will be short and sweet again this week. I’m going to focus in on a few players that I’ll affectionately call “Sunday’s Sure Things”.

MLB Hitter Analysis Saturday September 29th (By Patrick Smith): We’re in the midst of the last weekend of the 2012 major league baseball season and there are still a few undecided playoff races. The National League races are pretty much decided, but all of the American League division titles are up for grabs. If possible try to pick players from teams that still have some skin in the game (i.e. there still fighting for a playoff spot).

MLB Hitter Analysis Friday September 28th (By Patrick Smith): Catchers rule the day as three of them made our top batter vs. pitcher matchup list today including Matt Weiters, J.P. Arencibia, and Yadier Molina. All three have batting averages above .500 against their opposing pitcher tonight and could have big games. Be sure to check back later as we’ll be posting this week’s daily fantasy football player projections for Week 4 of the NFL Season.

MLB Hitter Analysis Thursday September 27th (By Patrick Smith): We’re entering the last week of the major league baseball season. It’s crazy to think that some teams have played over 150 games and the fate of their season will come down to how they perform over the next seven days. Today’s schedule features a mix of day (7) and night (5) games, so get your lineups in early if you plan on playing in the early daily fantasy baseball contests.

Hitter Analysis Wednesday September 26th (By Patrick Smith): The Cubs and Rockies scored a total of 15 runs last night and they didn’t even get through the 7th inning! Both teams are sending questionable starting pitchers to the mound tonight, so feel free to deploy the offensive juggernauts from both teams. I can only imagine how many runs would be scored in Coors Field each year if the Rockies got shifted to the American League and both teams got to use a designated hitter when playing in Colorado.

MLB Hitter Analysis Tuesday September 25th (By Patrick Smith): There aren’t any Cubs or Rockies in our favorable BvP matchups today because of the relatively inexperienced starting pitchers. The game is in Colorado and Chris Rusin and Jorge De La Rosa are the starter for their respective teams. Rusin’s 6.00 ERA is actually less than half of De La Rosa’s 12.27 ERA. I’d say there could be a lot of runs scored in the game, but that’d be an understatement!

MLB Hitter Analysis Monday September 24th (By Patrick Smith): With less than two weeks left in the major league baseball regular season the playoff and wild card chases are starting to heat up. Big shout out to the Minnesota Twins for taking both games of the double header yesterday against the Tigers. The White Sox still have a 1 game lead despite losing their last five games. I doubt you’re reading this to hear about the AL Central playoff race though, so let’s get started on our daily baseball data analysis.

MLB Hitter Analysis Sunday September 23rd (By Patrick Smith): Today’s daily fantasy baseball hitter analysis is going to be short and sweet because I have to work on all my football lineups. Minnesota and Detroit are playing a double header today, so make sure you check starting lineups for both games. You should also double check which game counts in the contests on your favorite daily fantasy sports site today. Let’s go Twins!

Hitter Analysis Saturday September 22nd (By Patrick Smith): There’s a ton of daily fantasy baseball action across the sites in addition to daily fantasy college football on Daily Joust, Fantasy Feud, FanDuel, and DraftStreet. One of the ‘best’ matchups today is the Boston vs. Baltimore game where Aaron Cook and Randy Wolf are schedule to take the mound for their respective teams. The two have a combined 23 years pitching experience and will need to use all of it to keep the opposing teams off the scoreboard.

Hitter Analysis Friday September 21st (By Patrick Smith): The Nationals wrapped up a playoff berth last night ending a 79 year drought for the city of Washington D.C. They only have a 5.5 game lead on the Braves, so they’ll have to keep playing their stars regularly to ensure they clinch the division. The Nationals were the second team to clinch a playoff joining the Cincinnati Reds. The Giants are only a few days from locking up their invite and it could happen this weekend.

MLB Hitter Analysis Thursday September 20th (By Patrick Smith): There’s a nice mix of day and night games on today’s schedule to hold you over until the daily fantasy football contests kick off tonight. A lot of big names made today’s batter vs. pitcher picks including Ryan Braun, Mike Trout, and Andrew McCutchen.

Hitter Analysis Wednesday September 19th (By Patrick Smith): Mother Nature wreaked havoc on major league baseball last night as three games were postponed. It looks like the Yankees and Blue Jays will play a double header with the first game scheduled for 1:05 PM EST. The Nationals and Dodgers will play a double header too with the first game starting at 4:05 PM EST. I’m not sure if the daily fantasy sports sites will offer early contests.

Hitter Analysis Tuesday September 18th (By Patrick Smith): Football heads to the back burner and baseball takes center stage tonight as every team in major league baseball has a game on the schedule. There are a lot of really bad starters throwing tonight (see the opposing pitchers to target section at the bottom of the article), so try to find good value at SP today and load up your offense.

Hitter Analysis Monday September 17th (By Patrick Smith): I’d like to thank the baseball gods for rescheduling the White Sox vs. Tigers game for this afternoon instead of tonight. Now I can follow the game without having to flip back and forth between Monday Night Football. Today’s MLB schedule features seven games (one afternoon and six night games). I’m not sure if all the daily fantasy sports sites will have afternoon games, but I’ll include them anyway.

Hitter Analysis Sunday September 16th (By Patrick Smith): Are you ready for some football? Oh wait, wrong article. Football might have the spotlight today, but there is still a ton of daily fantasy baseball action on all the daily fantasy sports sites! Let’s take a look at today’s batter versus pitcher matchups to find today’s value plays and must starts.

Hitter Analysis Saturday September 15th (By Patrick Smith): There are a couple pitchers making their starting pitcher debut today. In Chicago Jason Berken takes Jeff Samardzija’s spot in the rotation. Samardzija has been shut down for the rest of the season (Strasburg style). In Milwaukee Jenrry Mejia gets the start for the Mets. I saw Mejia pitch out of the bullpen a couple years ago in a Mets vs. Yankees subway series game. He threw really hard and I remember thinking he could be special in a couple years.

Hitter Analysis Friday September 14th (By Patrick Smith): Where did the time go? There are less than 3 weeks left in the baseball season before the 2012 MLB Playoffs start. I’m sure a lot of daily fantasy sports sites will offer baseball contests during the playoffs, but it won’t be the same with only fraction of the teams still playing. I’ll probably still play a couple contests if I like my teams, but the potential for player overlap is considerably higher. Hopefully my White Sox can fend off the Tigers and give me someone to root for. Speaking of the White Sox, one of my top plays today is…

Hitter Analysis Thursday September 13th (By Patrick Smith): Today’s Major League Baseball schedule features 9 games (2 day games and 7 night games). There are a couple great pitching matchups today including Brett Anderson vs. Jered Weaver and Justin Verlander vs. Chris Sale. Don’t worry though…there are still plenty of favorable hitter matchups in the other 7 games. Let’s take a look at the matchups to find some solid value plays.
