Friday MLB slates are simply the best, hands down. Typically, we have the first game of a weekend series and all 30 teams in action. I'm usually jonesing for some good strikeout matchups after Thursdays, which are almost always some of the weakest slates of the week, and yesterday was no exception as we had... […]

We've officially hit the point in the baseball season where it feels like I may have written about every notable starting pitcher. So I welcome back Peter Lambert for a part two (part one was way back in April), and offer my thoughts on a few pitchers that I have been wanting to write about […]

I'll admit that I'm slower to get into my fantasy football headspace than some folks. I cover basketball and baseball, too, and therefore I'm less glued to every offseason NFL transaction, combine video, or blurb about coaching tendencies and playing time speculation. But every year Netflix releases the newest season of Quarterback just in time […]

Who doesn't love a good hot take, right? Sometimes it feels like we get a lot more of those in the industry these days than we get well-researched, data-driven takeaways. I've always tried to trend towards the latter, but I'll admit that they are a lot more boring and a lot less fun! With the […]

The All-Star break is behind us, and most teams have now completed at least two-thirds of their schedule. As far as hitters go, we've seen some huge performances from both James Wood and Yordan Alvarez as they vie for the top overall ranking on the season. Jordan Walker's dream season continues as he won the […]

We have a ton of baseball today as we get two doubleheaders on the docket! Boston and Baltimore will play two today, and so will the Yankees and Pirates, as they were rained out last night as well. I have seven total bets here for you to consider, and a whopping five of those all […]

We have our first series of the season's second half in the books. At RotoBaller, we are still looking for second-half breakouts, and I decided to hone in on some hitters who I think could provide serious value for fantasy managers down the stretch. These players are all widely available on the waiver wire, especially […]

Sunday brought the end of our incredible run on Sean Burke strikeout props as he managed just five strikeouts across six and two-thirds innings, but Joey Cantillo, Paul Skenes, Logan Gilbert, and Eury Perez all came through for us on their props. We have a larger Monday slate than usual, and plenty of good strikeout... […]

The second half is off to a hot start with strikeout props! My picks in this article on Friday went 6-2, and yesterday I managed to go 6-3 on K props for another tidy profit as Jared Jones, Jesus Luzardo, Tarik Skubal, Shane Drohan, and Griffin Canning all came through (and I narrowly survived a... […]

The 2026 MLB season is ready to resume, and we have only a little more than two weeks until the August 3rd trade deadline. Teams are looking to make moves for the playoff run, and fantasy managers are looking to address holes in their rosters, too. Identifying second-half bust candidates, particularly those who are currently […]

The Mets and Phillies welcomed us back last night with the only game, but the rest of the league will be in action tonight as the second half of the MLB season kicks off. Well, maybe. The Canadian wildfires have created a lingering haze of smoke that is hanging over much of the Northeastern and... […]

The preliminary round of NBA Summer League games wraps up today, and a lot of teams have already started to shut down their most important young players. So while I had intended to wait until the games in Vegas finish to release this article, right now feels like as good a time as any since […]

It's time, once again, to refresh the list of top-10 starting pitchers for fantasy baseball. This might be the best year for elite starting pitching that we have seen in some time, especially in the National League. In fact, only one of the current top 10 starting pitchers in the Yahoo rankings is from the […]

The All-Star break is here, bringing us to the unofficial halfway point of the season. In reality, teams have completed around 60% of their games, and the second half of the fantasy baseball season is significantly shorter, and the time to make meaningful additions to your teams, whether via trades or the waiver wire, is […]

You know, it gets tougher every week to find three compelling pitchers to discuss that I haven't already investigated in previous weeks. It was a challenge this week, but I decided that I needed to do three different types of pitchers for the column. Taj Bradley is widely rostered, but is he finally ready to […]

It's that time again, friends. Time to re-evaluate the closer landscape in fantasy baseball, that is. Every month, I update the current top-ten list of closers and speculate as to how that list may change by the season's end. With many teams lacking an established closer entirely, we are seeing plenty of "bullpen-by-committee" approaches, making […]

The All-Star break is finally upon us, and therefore we have a few days off coming up, followed by an extra-long week since most fantasy sites combine next weekend's series with the full week of games that follow. Since you have to make your roster moves tonight anyway in a lot of leagues, I'm still […]

It's the last slate of MLB games before the All-Star break, and it just happens to be loaded with some very talented strikeout pitchers who are making their final start of the first half. So I bring you a bonus Sunday edition of strikeout props because...why not? Let's roll into the break on a hot... […]

Welcome back, baseball fans and sports bettors! Tonight's slate kicks off the final weekend series for teams ahead of the All-Star break, and after a lackluster K-prop slate yesterday, this one is chock-full of great plays. I'll provide my three favorite spots for your consideration. If you want the remaining strikeout bets, you'll need to... […]

It might be 6:00 AM, but I am still flying high after watching my favorite Pittsburgh Pirate, Ryan O'Hearn, smack three home runs yesterday and drive in 10 runs in front of the home crowd in Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, and my favorite strikeout prop of the day was Ian Seymour, who whiffed 12 Yankees in […]

NBA free agency kicked off last week with a flurry of player movement on the first few days, but has died down since then. There are still a lot of players available, but not too many that are going to move the needle much in standard fantasy basketball leagues other than LeBron James or Jalen […]

The work week resumes after a three-day holiday weekend, but don't despair. I woke up with the sun this morning in order to bring you the absolute best strikeout props on which to wager from today's MLB slate. We have a fairly small slate with a lot of teams getting the day off, but there... […]

It's the last full week of MLB action before the All-Star break, and it's time to fill out our lineups with healthy and productive hitters once again. My weekly hitters, streamers, fantasy baseball waiver-wire pickups column will identify hitters with favorable matchups who can be considered for waiver-wire pickups or streamers ahead of Sunday night's waiver-wire runs in leagues […]

Before you fire up the grill and start those America 250th anniversary celebrations, it's time for some strikeout props! It's another full slate of MLB action tonight, and while we don't have a lot of big names on the bump (other than Dylan Cease), there are still a lot of very strong spots for K... […]

This week, I take a closer look at three (relatively) young starting pitchers who are on the verge of "breaking out" for their respective clubs. Brandon Sproat is on a roll for his new team in Milwaukee, Jake Bennett is showing off impressive control in Boston, and Ian Seymour is proving that he probably should […]

If you like betting on baseball games, then you've come to the right place. Welcome back to my weekly Wednesday MLB betting article, where I offer up my favorite MLB bets of the day, including my specialty - pitcher strikeout props! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks […]

Hey, what's the pitching guy doing writing about hitters this week? I'm just pinch-hitting for the usual author, Kevin Larson, and attempting to bring you the same level of analysis that he does every week. Welcome back to another edition of our Hitter Breakouts or Fake Outs for Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season. […]

Somehow, a whole bunch of my favorite young pitchers happened to line up to start on the same day. And the best part is that most of them have some very exploitable matchups for strikeouts, too. So, I ended up with a pretty substantial six-prop betting card today for a Monday! If you want the... […]

As we roll into Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season, we also turn the calendar over to July and draw a bit closer to the All-Star break. It gets a bit tougher to uncover the best values on the wire as it gets raided by managers desperate for production, but I'm always up to […]

The best part of fantasy baseball, in my opinion, is that the season is long and we get to evaluate (and re-evaluate) players at various stages of the season. Players who are consistently good throughout the year are rostered all year, but there are always others who emerge to provide fantasy value after slow starts. […]
