Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly Traded to Dodgers: Fantasy Baseball Impact

The Dodgers are one of the better teams in the league at taking on reclamation projects and correcting their issues while the White Sox of late, despite their efforts to try and become more of an "analytic" organization, have struggled.

Fantasy Baseball Players Set For Second-Half Bouncebacks

The first half of the 2023 MLB season presented multiple new rules for players to become accustomed and as a result, the game has slightly changed.

Starting Pitcher Risers and Fallers - ERA Regression Candidates for Fantasy Baseball

The regression fairy (or monster) has many faces. Sometimes positive, sometimes negative, or sometimes just barren. While water will always find its level for every player surrounding a baseball diamond, pitchers specifically have it the roughest as one bad outing can define a full chunk of a season. Hitters can only go 0-for-6 at worst […]

Catcher Risers and Fallers - Waiver Wire Outlooks for Christian Bethancourt, Shea Langeliers, Blake Sabol and more

The catcher position in fantasy baseball is typically the most frustrating to manage throughout a season. Cold streaks feel like a never-ending frozen tundra while heaters are unpredictable.

Using expected offensive statistics such as xBA, xwOBA, and xSLG, we can locate some hitters who could be heading for major regression (positive or negative).

Dynasty League Sells - Players To Trade Away for Fantasy Baseball

"Selling high" is often misconstrued as selling at the absolute peak of value in fantasy baseball.

Buying in a dynasty baseball league is a tricky needle to thread. If done right, it can help build a consistent winner with players churned and burned.
