Kyle Hendricks- Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Hendricks has only made five starts since returning at the end of May, but it looks like he's up to his old tricks again. He's allowed two earned runs at most in three of his last four starts and has a […]

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Varland makes for a good short term pickup in deeper leagues where you need a starter this week. Varland will face the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park and pitching matchups don't get much better than that this season. Detroit is in […]

Dean Kremer - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Kremer is the opposite of the Braxton Garrett type of pitcher this year. His strikeout percentage is only 19% and his ground ball percentage also leaves much to be desired at 36%. However, he doesn't walk many batters (5% walk percentage) […]

Clarke Schmidt - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Schmidt has been very steady for the Yankees recently. He hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last five starts. On the season he has a solid 3.92 xFIP, which is much better than his 4.70 ERA. […]

Braxton Garrett - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Quite frankly, I have no idea how Garrett's rostership is still this low. He has struck out at least six batters in seven of his last eight starts. He has a 3.88 ERA on the season, but his xFIP is significantly […]

Bryan Woo - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Woo is now three starts into his major league career and looks promising after a rough first outing. He had a tough matchup in his debut facing Texas on the road and allowed six earned runs in two innings, but he's […]

Daniel Lynch - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Lynch has a 4.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 16 innings with the Royals so far this season. Last year, he was worse with a 5.13 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 131 innings. The benefit of using Lynch in fantasy is […]

Ronel Blanco - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Blanco has only made two starts for the Astros this year, but he was pretty good in both games. In both starts he completed at least five innings, allowed no more than two earned runs, and struck out at least five […]

Yonny Chirinos - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in 12+ team leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Chirinos has a 2.60 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 34 innings for the Rays this year, but I'm afraid his bubble is going to burst eventually. Chirinos has just an 11% strikeout percentage and is mostly getting by on luck as […]

Jameson Taillon - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Taillon has been terrible this year as he has a 7.02 ERA, but his xFIP is merely 4.76. He's more of a mediocre starter that you can use in good matchups than a completely unusable pitcher. Jameson Taillon on building off his […]

Taijuan Walker - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Walker is coming off a gem in his last start. It was against the Detroit Tigers at home, but he went seven innings and had eight strikeouts while allowing only two hits and three walks. Taijuan Walker's 3Ks in the 1st.I wouldn't […]

Andrew Abbott - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 54% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Abbott is another rookie, but he's older at 24 and was a second-round pick. After two starts, Abbott is yet to allow a run of any kind. He's gone at least five innings with at least four strikeouts in both of his […]

AJ Smith-Shawver - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Smith-Shawver got a no-decision in his first big league start against the Washington Nationals. He allowed just two unearned runs in 5.1 innings while recording two strikeouts and allowed three hits and two walks. It was a solid debut, especially considering he's […]

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 1-for-2 with a walk in Saturday’s 6-0 loss to the San Diego Padres. It was a quiet game for the Cubs' offense, but Swanson was able to up his season average to .276. He had a slow start to the season, with his new team hitting only one home […]

Tommy Edman Quiet in Saturday's Loss

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman went 0-for-4 in Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Edman has had a tough time generating offense at the plate recently. He's recorded a base hit in just two of his last 27 at-bats over his previous eight games played. In that time, he has no home runs […]

Bryan Reynolds Smacks A Double Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, and a run scored in Saturday’s 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Reynolds upped his average to .278 and has stolen eight bases this season. He provides balanced fantasy production, which is good because his power output has decreased lately. After hitting five […]

Leody Taveras Triples In Wednesday's Loss

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras went 1-for-4 with a triple in the Rangers' 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Taveras finished the month of May with a .368 average and two home runs after a quiet April that saw him hit .204 with no home runs. With playing time in the Rangers outfield […]

Randal Grichuk Rests Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk had a routine day off Thursday. Jurickson Profar, Brenton Doyle, and Nolan Jones manned the outfield in Colorado's 5-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Charlie Blackmon returned from bereavement leave and occupied the designated hitter spot, while Kris Bryant (foot) was placed on the injured list. Grichuk had hit safely […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/2/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Christian Yelich Hitless In Tuesday's Loss

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 0-for-2 with two walks in the Brewers' 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Yelich missed multiple games due to back tightness last week, but he returned over the weekend. His power is up this season, as he's on pace to reach 20 home runs for […]

Alex Bregman Pops Seventh Homer In Win

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Astros' 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Bregman bounced back in May with a .262 average and four home runs after hitting just .219 with three home runs in April. He's certainly perked up a […]

Ryan Mountcastle Has One Hit In Win

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 8-5 victory over the Cleveland Guardians. Mountcastle has 11 home runs and 38 RBI entering play Wednesday. He should continue to see regular at-bats for the Orioles, but it's becoming difficult to ignore his rather large platoon split this season. Mountcastle has a .311 average […]

Mike Trout Hitless In Tuesday's Loss

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday night's 7-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Trout is having a bit of a down month in May with a .242 average and five home runs after hitting .308 with seven home runs in April. He's still yet to record a […]

Freddie Freeman Has Four-Hit Game Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 4-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 victory over the Washington Nationals. Freeman continues to rake at home this year, as his average at Dodger Stadium is now .390. He's hitting .344 with 10 home runs, 47 runs scored, 35 RBI, and […]

Ketel Marte Swats Seventh Home Run

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte took Boston Red Sox starter Garrett Whitlock deep in the first inning for his seventh home run of the season. That homer would account for all of Arizona's scoring as the Diamondbacks dropped a 2-1 contest to the Red Sox Saturday. Marte has a hit in seven straight games, and his […]

Christian Walker Logs Single In Saturday's Loss

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker went 1-for-3 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The 32-year-old wasn't involved in the run-scoring, but his hit improved his average on the season to .245. He's consistently hitting around the .240 mark, evidenced by his .242 batting average last year and .244 two years ago. Walker […]
