Let’s dive in and explore Chris’ top 10 first basemen for the 2024 MLB season.
Ranking the top 10 first basemen is nearly as difficult as ranking the catchers. What makes ranking the position difficult is balancing one’s projections versus another’s track record.
The Toronto Blue Jays were projected to be contenders as recently as a few seasons ago. No one thought that the projection would be the 2021 season. In a powerhouse division that includes the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox, the Jays more than held their own. Toronto went 91-71 and even held first place in the AL East at times.
Shohei Ohtani is now fully healed from the Tommy John surgery that limited him exclusively to designated hitter the past two seasons. The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher took the mound at Yankee Stadium yesterday afternoon for his 12th game started this year.
There is a full host of games around Major League Baseball on Tuesday, but fans will have one eye on Tampa Bay. The second-place Rays (43-30) host the first-place Boston Red Sox (43-29) in an American League East tilt, but that is not the only attraction.
It’s a small slate tonight, and an ugly one on the pitching side of things. Let’s take a look at some cash game options and GPP/Tournament pivots for tonight’s action.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is as dangerous of a hitter as there is in baseball right now — just ask Max Scherzer.
Tyler Glasnow’s fifth start, coming against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, would be his worst of the season. And there would be no shortage of shenanigans.
The Toronto Blue Jays entered the 2019 season with low expectations in a rebuilding year, so their 67-95 record was not surprising. The bright spot of the season was the development of promising young hitters like Bo Bichette, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Cavan Biggio, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The lackluster performance by the starting rotation was the main negative of this past year. Let’s delve further into Year Two of the rebuild for the Blue Jays.
As Kershaw, Scherzer, Judge, and Acuña showcase their talents in the playoffs again, other superstars wait for their chance to shine. B.J. Martin shares a list of 10 players the baseball community would love to see play in the postseason.
With the MLB season winding down, we won’t have many more opportunities to take advantage and make some money playing DFS. We need to capitalize on the remaining opportunities. That brings us to tonight’s small slate of five games, starting at 7:05 ET. On the docket, we have some weather concerns to monitor throughout the day, as well as a very thin group of quality pitchers to choose from. To save you time and research, I went ahead and put some work in for you. The daily grind keeps rolling and we aren’t slowing down for anything or anyone. It’s time to get right back to it. Here are some of my favorite DFS plays for tonight’s games.
Pesky infielder David Fletcher is quietly putting up one of the best seasons of any player in their first full MLB season, writes B.J. Martin as he recaps the last week of Angels baseball and previews this week.
