We're almost a month into the season, which means that the lists of contenders and pretenders are becoming clearer. Stats are beginning to stabilize, and we should be able to use some increasing sample sizes to take advantage of valuable betting lines. Let's get to it! Attention, fellow sports bettors! We have some exciting news to […]

We are nearing the end of the first month of the Major League Baseball season, and while many flashes in the proverbial fantasy baseball pan have regressed back to their norms, some starting pitchers have continued their hot starts to force managers to reconsider their draft-day value. Regardless of how much MLB success each of […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We know the MLB season is officially in full swing because the Pittsburgh Pirates have already made me as optimistic as NL Central contenders and now back down to as pessimistic as "We suck again!". I thought my optimism would at least make it to May, but alas, the life of a […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! It's mid-April, and we are already halfway through the first month of the MLB season. We'll be in the dog days of summer with extremely sharp baseball betting lines before we know it, so let's take advantage while we can! Attention, fellow sports bettors! We have some exciting news to share as […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! With the college basketball season ending tonight, and the NBA and NHL playoffs right around the corner, it's starting to feel A LOT like baseball season! Attention, fellow sports bettors! We have some exciting news to share as we are now officially partnered with various sportsbooks and have some sweet sports betting […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates started the season 5-0. I repeat... The Battlin' Buccos won their first five games of the season, averaging 7.8 runs per game. So far, this surprising offense has been led by two recently extended franchise pillars and a young stud-in-the-making. These pieces are critical for the Pirates' success, and perhaps they'll become […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Tommy Bell here pinch-hitting again in the MLB Betting space. I know we're a bit behind on the typical timing of this post, so I'll try to be as concise as possible while still finding a couple of value spots on this full 15-game Tuesday evening slate. Attention, fellow sports bettors! We […]

Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! Woof... That was not the Tuesday evening I was hoping for. None of the Cubs, Marlins, Reds, or Mets could score enough runs for us to hit either one of our First Five Overs from Tuesday. I still love the spots, and while it may not be worth anything of financial worth, […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! It's a beautiful Tuesday in the baseball world, and it's a great day to find some betting value on a full 16-game slate. I was able to hit both of my wagers on Monday to start the week off strong, so let's see if I can keep the momentum going with these […]

With a plethora of injuries to their rotation this year, including the likes of Chris Sale, Garrett Whitlock, and Tanner Houck, the Boston Red Sox have turned to two back-end starters to fill the void for at least another couple of weeks. Both Nick Pivetta and Kutter Crawford have shown glimpses of promising stuff, begging […]

Good morning, RotoBallers! We officially have three more Saturdays until the College Football season begins. If you're someone who enjoys the quiet summer sports cycle, then enjoy your baseball-filled bliss for a few more weeks. If you're someone like me who can't wait for football season, then keep grinding toward that new season coming very […]

Today is the final day of July, and we have 10 MLB games on the docket for Monday evening. With trade deadline rumors swirling and some big name players looking over their shoulders, we'll try to sort through the chaos to pinpoint a few valuable betting lines to take advantage of after splitting 1-1 on […]

Happy Sunday, RotoBallers! We have a juicy 15-game MLB slate to cap off yet another summer weekend, and there's not a whole lot else going on in the sports world these days. Let's see if we can get hot with the baseball picks leading up to the trade deadline and NFL preseason. Attention, fellow sports […]

Good morning, RotoBallers! We've made it to the last Saturday in July. It's crazy how quickly this summer has flown by. Next thing you know we'll be lighting apple-scented candles and drinking pumpkin-spiced beers on a Saturday afternoon while the chili cooks... OK too soon. Let's enjoy this relatively quiet sports weekend while we can, […]

Hey again, RotoBallers! It's hard to believe we're bringing July to a close, and we're ready to jump into August on Tuesday. I hope this time of year finds you in the top half of your fantasy baseball leagues as we make our way down the home stretch of the season. Inconsistent bats and pitcher […]

It's hard to believe that the Pittsburgh Pirates were 20-9 at the end of April. Alas, here we are, just a couple of 10-game losing streaks later, and the Buccos are 12 games under .500 and 11 games out of first place in the NL Central once again. All is right in the world. Unfortunately, […]

Welcome to a new week, RotoBallers! On this Monday, we'll take a look at some pitchers in good spots and hitters who came out of the All-Star Break swinging a hot stick. As a fill-in writer for this series, I'll keep my analysis short and sweet. Remember to use this preliminary info to drive your […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The MLB's All-Star Break was only 4 days in length, but without much else in the sports world to turn our attention to, it felt like a month! The Home Run Derby and All-Star Game provided some excitement, which helped, but now we can officially get back to our daily routine of […]

It's safe to say that the Cleveland Guardians offense was not touted as one of the highest-scoring groups in the league heading into the 2023 fantasy baseball season. But with superstar Jose Ramirez leading the way, and high-upside contributors like Andres Gimenez, Steven Kwan, Josh Bell, Josh Naylor, and Amed Rosario I don't think anyone […]

Happy Sunday, RotoBallers! We've reached the final day of baseball before the MLB All-Star break starts on Monday. As such, we could see some veterans get an extra day of rest, some bullpens get pushed to their brink with a handful of days off to follow, and typically some wild results on a day like […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After appearing in 125 games for the Minnesota Twins in 2022, Jose Miranda was surprisingly designated for assignment in early May in favor of former first overall pick Royce Lewis at third base. With Byron Buxton stuck at designated hitter (Twins effort […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the unfortunate news of Mike Trout's hamate bone injury, 24-year-old outfielder Jo Adell was recalled to join the Los Angeles Angels on the Fourth of July. In two appearances so far, Adell is 2-for-5 with a double, triple, and two strikeouts. […]

Welcome in, RotoBallers! I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe 4th of July. I managed to avoid the urge to wait in line at Sheetz for 30 minutes of my day for a $12 discount on gasoline (maybe that was just a North Carolina thing? Apologies if so...), and in exchange I spent a […]

Welcome to the month of July, RotoBallers, and Happy Canada Day to those who celebrate! We got off to an amazing start on Friday afternoon when the Cubbies drubbed Cal Quantrill and the Guardians, cashing our Cubs -1 bet with ease. Unfortunately, the Yankees/Cardinals game was postponed just before Griffin Canning turned into Griffin "Gas […]

The New York Yankees signed 30-year-old southpaw Carlos Rodon in December on a whopping six-year, $162-million contract. Forearm troubles in Spring Training paired with some chronic back issues have kept the two-time All Star on the Injured List for the beginning of 2023, but his return appears to be drawing near. Let's take a deeper […]

Happy Friday RotoBallers! My name is Tommy Bell, and I'm thrilled to be back helping out in the MLB Betting world here at RotoBaller. I helped out with some pitcher/hitter prop bets, which came up a bit short, but sides and totals are where I'm most comfortable, so I feel right at home helping out […]

Ah yes, one of fantasy baseball managers' most beloved past times: Who can I trust to earn saves for the *Insert Team Here*? This predictive task is ever-evolving, night after night, and sometimes reading the minds of Major League managers can be more difficult than earning a college credit. So, while we can't guarantee we […]

While Elly De La Cruz has deservedly garnered everyone's attention with his prodigious power and blazing speed, the Cincinnati Reds may have quietly unleashed another five-category stud into the fantasy baseball pool. No, we're not talking about the 29-year-old Kevin Newman. In case you're late to the party, meet 23-year-old middle infielder Matt McLain! The […]

Tommy Bell here, back in another pinch-hitting role after my return from hiatus on Monday. Admittedly, it was a less-than-ideal showing. Colin Rea pitched the game of his life against what looked to be a lifeless Mets offense (sometimes I wonder if being a Mets fan would be WORSE than being a Pirates fan... Too […]

Happy Monday, RotoBallers! If you've been around a while, you'll have recognized my name from years past. I've been writing for many sports on and off again for almost 10 years, and I'm excited to be able to spend some time this summer getting back in the swing of things. For today, that means pinch-hitting […]
