Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Starting Pitchers in 2026 Fantasy Baseball

If you took a starting pitcher in the early rounds of drafts this spring, I hope it was Paul Skenes, Cristopher Sanchez, or Chris Sale. Managers who clicked Tarik Skubal, Logan Gilbert, or Logan Webb might be regretting those decisions. Personally, I have too much exposure to Eury Perez on my rosters and not enough […]

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Closers in 2026 Fantasy Baseball

Let's not sugarcoat it, the 2026 season has been a bloodbath for closers!

Thunder Dan Palyo's MLB Strikeout Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/28/2026)

Last Friday, I ended up on a lot of unders in this piece, including Paul Skenes, who promptly went out and nearly pitched seven perfect innings to go over his prop line for the first time. Taking unders on stud pitchers (Cole Ragans did the same thing to me the following day) is a risky […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (4/22/2026)

Warmer temperatures are expected across the country today, which should favor the bats and increase the likelihood of some more long balls.
