Thunder Dan's MLB Strikeout Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (5/29/2026)

Strikeout props are not only my favorite MLB bets, but they are also (by far) my most profitable! Strikeout rates for both pitchers and hitters stabilize more quickly than most other stats in baseball, making them some of the most predictive stats that we have in the game. We can dig into recent trends and […]

Are some of your batters failing to live up to expectations?

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 […]

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakouts or Fake Outs? Pitchers On The Rise (Week 7)

This week, I'd like to switch things up and focus on pitchers already on your rosters. Instead of deciding if you should pick up an emerging pitcher off the wire (we already have a lot of content that is geared towards that), I'd like to drill down on three starters who are pitching well ahead […]

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 […]

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5 (April 27 - May 3)

We return to some normalcy this week, with the Mexico City games behind us, and no funky 5-game weeks. The calendar turns over to May late in the week, and we are finally starting to see the landscape of MLB take shape with what teams and players look like after a full month of baseball. […]

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakouts or Fake Outs? Pitchers On The Rise (Week 4)

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. We have quite a few "gas cans" on the bump today, who can we target with hitters, so I expanded my home run picks to five, including my longshot bet at +800 odds! […]

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4 (April 20- April 26)

The season is rolling right along, and we have nearly a full month of games under our belt. The fantasy baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint, but it's important to stay competitive early in the year and at least give your team an opportunity to get hot down the stretch. So sitting on […]
