Fantasy Baseball:
Daily Pitcher Rankings (August 25th)

By Muntradamus
To see yesterday’s Daily Pitcher Rankings follow the link.

 

BEAST DOME NATION.

Thank you for your patience as our server returns to normal. The Daily Pitcher Rankings from yesterday vanished into cyber space.  To say sorry, DRAFTSTREET picks are listed below.

It’s now or never time.  Ask me your fantasy baseball questions as we head towards the end stretch of the season!  #NowOrNever

Jon Axford: Has left the door wide open for committee situation the rest of the season.  Right now I would pass if there was a better closer on the wire, such as Bailey or Balfour.

Andrew Bailey: Pitched 1.1 INN of shutout baseball for the save.  I called this yesterday, but the article went missing.

Adrian Beltre: Continues his power cycle by hitting for the cycle in 4 ABs.

Chris Davis: Swacked 3 HRs to give him 5 in the last 5 games.

Freddie Freeman: Hit 2 HRs to show everyone that he is ready to go into Beast Mode and possibly reach 25.

Adam Dunn: 2 HRs away from 40, there will be a BEAST DOME article to celebrate that.

Ian Desmond: Out for the weekend with a hammy.

Michael Morse: X-Rays good on his thumb, likely out the weekend.

Zack Greinke: Pitched well enough to use in his next start.

Jon Lester: Starting to return to form, did leave game with hamstring.  Should be fine.

 

 

Ask me or anyone in the BEAST DOME NATION fantasy questions about players.

NYM Money Line

Despite the Mets losing last time I picked Dickey this week, you know it will not happen twice.  The Astros cannot hit ELITE pitchers, and Dickey is just that.  Expect Abdad to give up at least 1 HR to David Wright, that will be more than enough.
