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) […]
Nick ShlainClarke 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. […]
Nick ShlainBraxton 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 […]
Nick ShlainBryan 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 […]

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 […]
Nick ShlainYonny 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 […]

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.
