Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Fri, 5/22

The weather has cooled off here on the East Coast, and the weather just may favor the pitchers in a lot of these ballparks today. I'm Thunder Dan, and after going 7-1 on my picks in Wednesday's MLB bets article here at RotoBaller, I'm back with a massive K prop card for today's slate! I'll... […]

I'm back with another full-slate breakdown of Wednesday's MLB games, May 20. As usual, I have a blend of game bets and player props, with my specialty being a focus on strikeout props for starting pitchers!

Top 10 SP: Rest-Of-Season Projections

If you took a starting pitcher in the early rounds of drafts this spring, I hope it was Paul Skenes, Cristopher Sanchez, or Chris Sale. Managers who clicked Tarik Skubal, Logan Gilbert, or Logan Webb might be regretting those decisions. Personally, I have too much exposure to Eury Perez on my rosters and not enough […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 8

Welcome back to my weekly fantasy baseball waiver wire column for hitters. I'm Thunder Dan, and I have the need to stream! Why hold marginal players week to week when we can hunt for the best matchups and find hitters emerging from the waiver wire?

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Mon, 5/18

Sometimes Mondays suck. Okay, let's be serious - most of the time, Mondays suck. But the weather here on the East Coast is going to be hot, giving us the first real glimpse of what summer has in store, and we have a lot more MLB action on the diamond than usual, as we have... […]

Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 7

This week, I'd like to switch things up and focus on pitchers already on your rosters. Instead of deciding if you should pick up an emerging pitcher off the wire (we already have a lot of content that is geared towards that), I'd like to drill down on three starters who are pitching well ahead […]


Spencer Strider - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Fri, 5/15

Friday night baseball is right up there for me with some Friday night NBA hoops or Sunday afternoon NFL football. We almost always get every MLB team in action and a new slate of weekend series kicking off. There are some really fun matchups this weekend, as the MLB schedule makers have given us intrastate...

Top 10 Closers: Rest-Of-Season Projections

Let's not sugarcoat it, the 2026 season has been a bloodbath for closers! Many of the players you thought would be racking up saves for your fantasy team are already injured or have been demoted due to poor performance. At the same time, the void left behind by those failed closers is being filled by […]


Jacob Misiorowski - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

MLB Bets and Props for Novig - 5/13

It's another action-packed slate of MLB games on the docket today, with some great pitching matchups, a few elite spots for bats, and quite a few strikeout prop targets as well! I have a little bit of everything for you today! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 7

It's a special Mother's Day edition of my weekly waiver wire bats, and a big shout-out to all the moms out there that keep the world (and baseball) going strong. MLB has a great Mother's Day tradition going with players honoring their moms, and I'd like to tell mine (if she ends up reading this) […]


Janson Junk - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects Waiver Wire Pickups

Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 6

It's yet another edition of starting pitcher breakouts or fake outs, and this week we will be looking closely at three pitchers who are widely available in most fantasy baseball leagues. We have a Logan Henderson sighting in Milwaukee, a Jack Kochanowicz turnaround in Los Angeles, and a Janson Junk transformation in Miami to explore! […]


Jesus Luzardo - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Top 101 Starting Pitchers

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Fri, 5/8

Wow, what a loaded slate for strikeout props today! I have eight spots circled tonight, with a lot of big power arms in good spots and the exciting debut of one of the most prolific strikeout pitchers in the minor leagues this season. That doesn't even count Robbie Ray, who will be an auto-bet later... […]

Bryan Woo - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

MLB Bets and Props for Novig - 5/6

Welcome back to another full-slate betting breakdown! Wednesdays bring us a nice combination of afternoon and evening action, and today's slate has no shortage of targetable games either. Last week, we hit on the majority of the bets in this piece, which is a blend of game bets and player props for today's MLB contests. […]


Cam Schlittler - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Mon, 5/4

After a 4-1 record on my K prop picks yesterday, I'm ready to run it back today on a magnificent Monday slate of MLB games. Or, I'm ready to be humbled again... but I'm going to remain aggressive with the strikeout-over props today, as we have some very talented pitchers in good spots. I'll offer... […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 6

The first full week of May brings us a ton of baseball games! We have 12 teams playing a full seven-game schedule and some really big intradivisional series as well. The Cubs have a four-game set with the Reds as the top two teams in the NL Central match up, while the first-place Guardians host […]


Max Meyer - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 5

Another week of baseball games is in the book, and we have some more young pitchers emerging on the scene to discuss. This week, I'm going to dig into the first two starts of the Payton Tolle era in Boston, a potential new ace on the White Sox in Davis Martin, and a possible post-hype […]

Welcome, baseball bettors, to my first comprehensive slate of MLB bets for the 2026 season.

Payton Tolle - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Tues, 4/28

Last Friday, I ended up on a lot of unders in this piece, including Paul Skenes, who promptly went out and nearly pitched seven perfect innings to go over his prop line for the first time. Taking unders on stud pitchers (Cole Ragans did the same thing to me the following day) is a risky... […]

Angel Martinez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 5

We return to some normalcy this week, with the Mexico City games behind us, and no funky 5-game weeks. The calendar turns over to May late in the week, and we are finally starting to see the landscape of MLB take shape with what teams and players look like after a full month of baseball. […]


Will Warren - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 4

Every week, the pitchers I choose to analyze in this article change from the time I start to plan it out to when I actually sit down to write it. Case in point, I was going to write about the rather boring Justin Wrobleski in this feature today, but ditched him at the last minute […]

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Friday, 4/24

It's a funky Friday for strikeout props, with me -- the guy who hates betting unders -- finding myself on more of them than overs. But we'd be foolish not to follow the data, and that's where it's pointing me today! I'll offer up a few of my top picks here today, but you'll need... […]

Ian Happ - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/22/26)

Warmer temperatures are expected across the country today, which should favor the bats and increase the likelihood of some more long balls. We have quite a few "gas cans" on the bump today, who can we target with hitters, so I expanded my home run picks to five, including my longshot bet at +800 odds!... […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 4

The season is rolling right along, and we have nearly a full month of games under our belt. The fantasy baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint, but it's important to stay competitive early in the year and at least give your team an opportunity to get hot down the stretch. So sitting on […]

MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/20/26)

We have a smaller slate today than usual, with quite a few teams getting a day off before their next series.

Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 3

Another week has come and gone, and we're now getting a larger sample size from our starting pitchers, with most pitchers now having three or four starts under their belts. This week, I'll look at three new pitchers who have performed well, and all three are pitchers who are likely already rostered in standard-sized leagues. […]

Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Friday, 4/17

There are not too many aces on the mound today, with the one high-profile matchup coming when Logan Gilbert and Jacob deGrom square off out in Seattle. That certainly doesn't mean that we won't still attack the strikeout prop market aggressively today, though, as we have a full slate of MLB action tonight with all... […]

MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/15/26)

It's going to be one of the warmest days that we have had this calendar year across the country, which should make for some really solid hitting environments today. With that being said, I am loading up on home run props today with six left-handed sluggers who have great matchups today. Yes, that's more than […]

Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 3

As the weather starts to warm up this week, perhaps we will see the bats start to catch up to the arms? There are certainly a lot of widely available players worth consideration if you have an open roster spot, and no shortage of good schedules and positive hitting environments.

MLB NRFI Bets (No Runs First Inning) - 4/13

Today's MLB 10-game slate doesn't appeal much to me in terms of strikeout props, but I do have an interest in several first-inning bets. While I typically am on the lookout for NRFIs, I actually think that the most value on the board today comes from YRFI (yes, run first inning) bets. We've seen the […]
