Andrew Heaney (SP, LAA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney is a crap shoot at this point, but is still on the fantasy radar for Week 14. This boom-or-bust option has been spectacular at times (1 ER, 10 K) and dreadful (4.1 IP, 7 ER). This […]

Junior Guerra (SP, MIL) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Junior Guerra is almost unfair to be a streamer at this point. To have a streaming pitcher flirt with a sub-three ERA is a good place to start while looking for pitchers in Week 14. If not for a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has been a rough year for Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez in 2018.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 13

We have 12 games on Monday, which increases the amount of two-start pitchers in the player pool for Week 13.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin has been particularly hot as of late and the city of Chicago is happy not to see him this week.

Domingo German (SP, NYY) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German might be one of the best pitchers to stream for this week.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 12

As we usually do for the two-start streamers piece, let’s examine the Monday schedule to see how many potential pitchers could be in the player pool for Week 12 in fantasy baseball. There are 10 games on Monday (not counting the suspended game between NYY/WSH). That’s terrific news. Naturally, more games on Monday equals more […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Thankfully, we have a full 15-game slate to work with on Friday as we construct our DraftKings DFS lineup. There is some top tier pitching as Vegas has given three teams the status of “heavy favorite” (at least -200 odds): Astros, Indians, and Dodgers. Don’t be surprised if I have one of those arms in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/11/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 11

Monday sets the tone for the two-start streaming process. When you only have eight games, 16 teams, playing in the first day of the week, it limits the amount of pitchers available in the streaming pool. Thankfully, the quality is greater than the quantity, as you’ll see. We have such strong options that are probably […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 10

We were spoiled in Week 9 with a packed Memorial Day slate of games last Monday. That is not the case this week as we only have eight teams playing on Monday (NYY/DET doubleheader). That significantly reduces the amount of two-start pitchers we have for Week 10. However, that doesn’t mean we have zero options […]
