Friday night slates are some of my favorites for MLB bets, as we almost always get all 30 teams in action and a ton of options for finding the best wagers. That's certainly the case tonight, and I have no shortage of bets for you to consider in today's full slate betting breakdown! If you're […]

The NBA Finals are ready to tip off tonight, and it should be a compelling series, as we are guaranteed a new NBA champion after the Spurs eliminated the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. For those of us who aren't Knicks or Spurs fans, perhaps it's time to start looking ahead to the 2026 […]

If you've got a top-ten closer on your roster, you have to feel pretty good about it. The lack of reliable closers continues to be a theme in Major League Baseball, so having a stud closer who can contribute in saves while also helping your ratios is key! With many teams lacking an established closer […]

We kick off a new month of the baseball season today, as the calendar turns to June. With each passing start, we get a larger sample of data for pitchers and hitters, giving us more confidence in our favorite daily targets for strikeout props. I'll offer up a few of my top picks here today,... […]

If you like big curveballs, you're going to love this edition of breakouts or fakeouts, as two of our three pitchers featured this week have some of the best benders in the game. I'm talking about Spencer Arrighetti and Ben Brown, of course. Our third pitcher is a guy who has come out of nowhere […]

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... […]

Welcome back to another Wednesday edition of my Novig MLB betting picks! I have been running hot on these picks the last few weeks, and on pitcher strikeout props in general recently, along with the rest of the MLB betting team at RotoBaller, so I am hoping to keep that solid streak of wins going […]

Happy Memorial Day, friends. Baseball, burgers, hot dogs, and maybe even some beers all go perfectly together as we kick off summer and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our great nation. The weather is finally set to warm up a bit here on the East Coast, and we get a bunch... […]

Are some of your batters failing to live up to expectations? Don't go dropping guys like Corey Seager just yet, but marginal hitters can and should be dropped for more productive players who are constantly available on the waiver wire! Use those moves and spend that FAAB, you don't win any prizes at the end […]

That's right, it's time once again to break down some starting pitchers who are enjoying successful starts to the 2026 season. This week's trio of pitchers is an interesting one, as I'll delve into one highly-rostered veteran (Michael King) and a couple of younger arms who may be available on your waiver wire in J.T. […]

The weather has cooled off here on the East Coast, and the weather just may favor the pitchers in a lot of these ballparks today. I'm Thunder Dan, and after going 7-1 on my picks in Wednesday's MLB bets article here at RotoBaller, I'm back with a massive K prop card for today's slate! I'll... […]

I'm back with another full-slate breakdown of Wednesday's MLB games, May 20. As usual, I have a blend of game bets and player props, with my specialty being a focus on strikeout props for starting pitchers! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks will all be using the […]

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 […]

Welcome back to my weekly fantasy baseball waiver wire column for hitters. I'm Thunder Dan, and I have the need to stream! Why hold marginal players week to week when we can hunt for the best matchups and find hitters emerging from the waiver wire? My weekly hitters, streamers, fantasy baseball waiver-wire pickups column will identify hitters with […]

Sometimes Mondays suck. Okay, let's be serious - most of the time, Mondays suck. But the weather here on the East Coast is going to be hot, giving us the first real glimpse of what summer has in store, and we have a lot more MLB action on the diamond than usual, as we have... […]

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 […]

Friday night baseball is right up there for me with some Friday night NBA hoops or Sunday afternoon NFL football. We almost always get every MLB team in action and a new slate of weekend series kicking off. There are some really fun matchups this weekend, as the MLB schedule makers have given us intrastate... […]

Let's not sugarcoat it, the 2026 season has been a bloodbath for closers! Many of the players you thought would be racking up saves for your fantasy team are already injured or have been demoted due to poor performance. At the same time, the void left behind by those failed closers is being filled by […]

It's another action-packed slate of MLB games on the docket today, with some great pitching matchups, a few elite spots for bats, and quite a few strikeout prop targets as well! I have a little bit of everything for you today! If you're reading this, I'll assume you also bet on baseball regularly. Today's picks […]

It's a special Mother's Day edition of my weekly waiver wire bats, and a big shout-out to all the moms out there that keep the world (and baseball) going strong. MLB has a great Mother's Day tradition going with players honoring their moms, and I'd like to tell mine (if she ends up reading this) […]

It's yet another edition of starting pitcher breakouts or fake outs, and this week we will be looking closely at three pitchers who are widely available in most fantasy baseball leagues. We have a Logan Henderson sighting in Milwaukee, a Jack Kochanowicz turnaround in Los Angeles, and a Janson Junk transformation in Miami to explore! […]

Wow, what a loaded slate for strikeout props today! I have eight spots circled tonight, with a lot of big power arms in good spots and the exciting debut of one of the most prolific strikeout pitchers in the minor leagues this season. That doesn't even count Robbie Ray, who will be an auto-bet later... […]

Welcome back to another full-slate betting breakdown! Wednesdays bring us a nice combination of afternoon and evening action, and today's slate has no shortage of targetable games either. Last week, we hit on the majority of the bets in this piece, which is a blend of game bets and player props for today's MLB contests. […]

After a 4-1 record on my K prop picks yesterday, I'm ready to run it back today on a magnificent Monday slate of MLB games. Or, I'm ready to be humbled again... but I'm going to remain aggressive with the strikeout-over props today, as we have some very talented pitchers in good spots. I'll offer... […]

The first full week of May brings us a ton of baseball games! We have 12 teams playing a full seven-game schedule and some really big intradivisional series as well. The Cubs have a four-game set with the Reds as the top two teams in the NL Central match up, while the first-place Guardians host […]

Another week of baseball games is in the book, and we have some more young pitchers emerging on the scene to discuss. This week, I'm going to dig into the first two starts of the Payton Tolle era in Boston, a potential new ace on the White Sox in Davis Martin, and a possible post-hype […]

It's shaping up to be a beautiful day for baseball with very few weather concerns across the country. Sundays in the springtime are made for baseball, and today's crop of MLB games brings us ample opportunities for wagering on player props. We are going to ride some hot bats today and target a few major... […]

Welcome, baseball bettors, to my first comprehensive slate of MLB bets for the 2026 season. If you follow our HR prop picks or strikeout prop bets here at RotoBaller, you know that we are betting on baseball daily. Today's article will break down the MLB slate for Wednesday, April 29, 2026, and I'll offer up […]

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... […]

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. […]
