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. […]

We roll into the final weekend of June with a full Friday night MLB slate as every team is in action. There are plenty of stud pitchers on the mound tonight, with Jacob Misiorowski, Paul Skenes, and Zack Wheeler leading the way. But we also have a really good crop of rising stars on the... […]

The first round of the 2026 NBA Draft is in the books, and the first ten picks went almost entirely as predicted. We finally saw some players taken before or after their projections a bit later in the round, and we had only a few small trades on draft night after we saw a few […]

It's time to revisit the current player rankings this week, with a focus on infielders this time. If you drafted Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Manny Machado this season, my heart goes out to you. And you won't even find Jose Ramirez in the top ten right now, as he's out for at least another month […]

Good morning, baseball fans and sports bettors! Welcome back to another full MLB slate betting breakdown, and buckle up, because this is the biggest MLB card that I have put out in this article this year! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks will all be using the […]

Not only do we have a bigger Monday slate than usual with 13 games tonight, but I'm also coming off one of my better showings this year as I was able to hit six of seven K props in Friday's article. I hope you tailed! If you want the remaining strikeout bets, you'll need to... […]

The waiver wire continues to be ripe, and those managers who are willing to be aggressive and add hitters from week to week in order to maximize their games played will be rewarded in their head-to-head leagues! My weekly hitters, streamers, fantasy baseball waiver-wire pickups column for Week 13 will identify hitters with favorable matchups who can be […]

Some weeks, I end up having a theme for this piece, whether it's young pitchers, widely available pitchers, or maybe veterans having a late-career renaissance. But I have never focused on three pitchers who are all part of the same starting rotation before! Enter the St. Louis Cardinals, who, despite being picked to finish last […]

Holy aces, Batman! This particular MLB slate is absolutely loaded with high-end pitching as we get Cam Schlittler, Tarik Skubal, Jacob Misiorowski, and Jacob deGrom all on the bump on the same night! There's a very strong second tier of pitchers toeing the rubber, too, as Kevin Gausman, Cade Cavalli, Landen Roupp, Bryce Miller, Ben... […]

What if I told you that Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Mike Trout are all outside the top ten outfielders for fantasy baseball this season? Judge hasn't played since May and could be out a while. Soto is having a decent year, but a lack of run production is holding him back. And Trout has […]

I'm usually team "no days off" when it comes to content, but yesterday was a much-needed reprieve for me, and now I'm refreshed and ready to attack the Wednesday slate. It's a good mix of game bets and player props in today's article! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. […]

Mondays are usually slower in MLB, but today, we have only two-thirds of the teams in action. There aren't too many aces on the bump either, with Chase Burns being the only real notable one going tonight. Sorry, Zack Wheeler, you're not the ace in Philly anymore, and I can't really refer to Shota Imanaga... […]

The weather is starting to heat up as we hit the middle of June, and so are some bats that are widely available in fantasy baseball leagues. With over a third of the baseball season in the books, we have young players emerging, veterans getting new life on different teams, and a whole bunch of […]

The group of pitchers I select for this article varies greatly week to week, but this week I've landed on three pitchers whom I genuinely had no idea where the data would take me. All three pitchers have had some success recently, but it's fair to say there are still plenty of doubters about whether […]

If you like a betting card that is loaded with overs, then today is your day! I have a total of seven strikeout props for tonight's MLB games, and I'm going to feature my first group of pitchers with their prop set at only 4.5 strikeouts out in front of the paywall! If you want... […]

Wednesday's MLB slate offers plenty of strong wagering opportunities, and Novig's sports prediction platform is where you'll often find the best odds for our favorite bets. If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks will all be using the odds on the most unique and fastest-growing sports prediction sites […]

The cream is rising to the top! By this point in the season, we are starting to see the elite pitchers in MLB separate themselves from the pack. There are still some pitchers who are likely underperforming or overperforming, but there's not much argument about the top five, or maybe six, starting pitchers in baseball. […]

After one week off, I'm back with my top hitter streamers to consider for the upcoming week of fantasy baseball. I was able to catch my hometown Pirates in person last weekend and saw them pile up 25 runs on the Minnesota Twins in a sweep. A few Pirates' hitters make the column this week, […]

We may have a short slate today with just eight MLB games, but that doesn't mean that we don't have some very attractive strikeout prop targets! My card has more unders than usual, but that's because we have only a handful of aces on the bump tonight. I'll offer up a few of my top... […]

Welcome back to another edition of my weekly starting pitching column. As usual, I'll take a closer look at three starting pitchers and attempt to yield a verdict about the sustainability of their current production. This week, I'll investigate the breakout of Pirates second-year pitcher Braxton Ashcraft, the impressive return of Mariners' fireballer Bryce Miller, […]
