Logan Allen - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS:   He hasn't been overwhelmingly good this year with a 24.4% K% and a 6.7% BB% - those are solid marks but short of spectacular. Despite that, Allen has delivered five strong starts for Cleveland, not giving up more than three earned runs... Read More

James Paxton - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I can't guarantee that Paxton will even stay healthy between now and the time you finish reading this sentence, but while he's healthy he's at least a little bit interesting. In his first start in a Major League uniform this year,... Read More

Clarke Schmidt - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS:   He put a pretty good start in the books early this week against the Athletics, and overall he has some encouraging underlying numbers. His xFIP of 3.77 dwarfs his actual ERA of 5.35, and he maintains a K-BB% right below 20%.... Read More

Tanner Bibee - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I prefer Allen, as I said above, but Bibee is another talented rookie in a rotation right now. His K% is down below 24% and the SwStr% just isn't there at 10.8%. That said, he isn't walking hitters (6.3%) and he's... Read More

Logan Allen - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS:   He seems to have stepped above Bibee for fantasy purposes. His K% is good but not great at 25.3%, and the walk rate is managed well at 7.4%. The good news in the profile is the 13.2% SwStr% and the deep... Read More

Domingo German - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I believe he has been in this piece weekly so far, and we're closing in on him graduating above 50%.

J.P. France - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS:   He's made two starts in the Majors now and that has turned into 11.2 innings of one-run ball with just six hits allowed on an 8:2 K:BB ratio. The strikeout rate is below 20% and the SwStr% is just a little... Read More

Jameson Taillon - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS:   It's a very small sample size on Taillon this year, and the results haven't been great, but he does have a really strong 28% K% and a 6.7% BB% right now. He has had one of the lowest walk rates in the... Read More

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Varland is the priority pick-up under 50% owned this week. What he's done in his three starts has been really impressive. Here's the whole list of pitchers this year with 3+ GS, a K% above 27%, a BB% below 9%, and a... Read More

Eury Perez - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Just a quick disclaimer here since Perez is already above the 50% threshold we use for this piece. Despite the lackluster box score result, Perez looked awesome Friday night with an 18% SwStr% and just electrifying stuff. A really great four-seamer plus... Read More

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Week 8

The majority of the rookie SPs have scuffled in recent outings, and we're left with an overhaul pretty bleak picture of what life has been like on the SP waiver wire. We have located some gems early on, but there have been plenty of blanks fired as well. This remains a good time of the... Read More

Breakout Hitters Watch for Fantasy Baseball - Ezequiel Duran, Triston Casas, and More

We are back for the fifth iteration of breakout hitters! There will be different player profiles included in all of this. I try to keep the majority of the names as hitters that are available on waivers. Or at the very least, players you could trade for before the breakout really hits. However, sometimes I... Read More

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball - Week 7

It has been a mixed back of results so far finding waiver wire pitchers. We have had our hits and we have had our misses. Ownership is getting more and more correct and competitive every week, but a bunch of new pitcher names have popped up over the last few weeks with a lot of... Read More

Mason Miller - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Miller has been a Stuff+ darling so far, being right up there at the top of the league with his flame-throwing ways. His fastball reaches triple-digits and his slider is amazing as well by the numbers. SP Stuff+ Mason Miller 159 Jacob deGrom... Read More

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Varland was one of those rookie pitchers that did not have a great start in the box score this week. However, his underlying metrics were stunning. Varland put up an elite 17.2% SwStr% and a 40.2% CSW% on the 87 pitches he... Read More

Nick Pivetta- Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS:   It's boring, and there are just as many mediocre or bad starts as good ones for Pivetta, but he's at least proven to be an innings eater and a guy who can get strikeouts in the Majors. Sometimes in fantasy, you just need... Read More

Clarke Schmidt- Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Yeah, it's been a disastrous season for Schmidt after there was some hype (I contributed to this) for him coming into the season. Schmidt has a 5.83 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP. He's given up 2.1 HR/9 and has yet to record a... Read More

Josiah Gray - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS:   His run of not allowing a barrel or a homer ended on Friday night, but all things considered, it wasn't a horrible outing. For the year now he has 37 strikeouts, 15 walks, and five homers allowed in 38.2 innings. Those numbers aren't... Read More

Seth Lugo - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I've written him up before, but people just aren't picking Lugo up. I get that, there's not a ton of upside with him as a veteran pitcher, and it makes sense that fantasy managers would flock to the young prospects. But chances are,... Read More

Bailey Ober - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS:   The 6'11'' righty had the second-best outing (by fantasy points scored) of his career on Friday night as he came to fill the other void in the rotation left by the Tyler Mahle and Kenta Maeda injuries. He went seven scoreless innings... Read More

Jameson Taillon - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Taillon is back off the IL and returned with a short outing against the Nationals on Thursday. We have only seen 17 innings from him this year as he's struggled with that injury, but overall he has a nice 27% K% and... Read More

Tanner Bibee - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS:   We saw a few hyped rookie pitchers get shelled this week, but Bibee wasn't one of them. He threw 5.2 innings against the Yankees and gave up just two earned runs with five strikeouts. It wasn't the greatest outing overall, but it... Read More
