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... Read More

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.

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.
