Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 4
Every week, the pitchers I choose to analyze in this article change from the time I start to plan it out to when I actually sit down to write it. Case in point, I was going to write about the rather boring Justin Wrobleski in this feature today, but ditched him at the last minute […]
Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Friday, 4/24
It's a funky Friday for strikeout props, with me -- the guy who hates betting unders -- finding myself on more of them than overs. But we'd be foolish not to follow the data, and that's where it's pointing me today! I'll offer up a few of my top picks here today, but you'll need... […]
MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/22/26)
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!... […]
Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 4
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 […]
MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/20/26)
We have a smaller slate today than usual, with quite a few teams getting a day off before their next series. But with ten games to choose from, there are certainly still some juicy spots for home run props, don't worry! It's cold again here on the East Coast, but we have some favorable weather... […]
Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 3
Another week has come and gone, and we're now getting a larger sample size from our starting pitchers, with most pitchers now having three or four starts under their belts. This week, I'll look at three new pitchers who have performed well, and all three are pitchers who are likely already rostered in standard-sized leagues. […]
Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Friday, 4/17
There are not too many aces on the mound today, with the one high-profile matchup coming when Logan Gilbert and Jacob deGrom square off out in Seattle. That certainly doesn't mean that we won't still attack the strikeout prop market aggressively today, though, as we have a full slate of MLB action tonight with all... […]
MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/15/26)
It's going to be one of the warmest days that we have had this calendar year across the country, which should make for some really solid hitting environments today. With that being said, I am loading up on home run props today with six left-handed sluggers who have great matchups today. Yes, that's more than […]
Fantasy Baseball Hitter Pickups: Week 3
As the weather starts to warm up this week, perhaps we will see the bats start to catch up to the arms? There are certainly a lot of widely available players worth consideration if you have an open roster spot, and no shortage of good schedules and positive hitting environments. My weekly hitters, streamers, fantasy baseball waiver […]
MLB NRFI Bets (No Runs First Inning) - 4/13
Today's MLB 10-game slate doesn't appeal much to me in terms of strikeout props, but I do have an interest in several first-inning bets. While I typically am on the lookout for NRFIs, I actually think that the most value on the board today comes from YRFI (yes, run first inning) bets. We've seen the […]
Fantasy Basketball Post-Mortem
The NBA regular season wraps up tomorrow, and most fantasy leagues have been over for nearly a week. Before the playoffs get started, it feels like a good time to reflect upon this season to see what we got right and what went terribly wrong. There were many injuries to big-name stars that acted as […]
Starting Pitcher Breakouts/Fake Outs: Week 2
We've been getting a second look at starting pitchers over the last week, and we have quite a few who have performed well twice in a row to start the year, while it feels like we've had a lot of starters experience arm trouble already as well. If you are new to this column, remember […]
Today's Pitcher Strikeout Bets - Fri 4/10
Sometimes the strikeout prop gods smile upon us and bless us with a Friday slate that's loaded with potential in terms of Ks. It feels like one of those slates, and so I'll unveil one of my largest K prop cards today, with seven spots that I am going to attack aggressively in these MLB... […]

My weekly hitters streamers fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups column will identify hitters with favorable matchups who can be considered waiver wire pickups or […]
Starting Pitcher Breakouts or Fake Outs?
Baseball is back, and I am so ready to overreact to one really good start from starting pitchers! Psych! Do people still say that? If you followed this column at all last season, you'll remember that the goal is to take a look at several pitchers every week who are showing signs of "breaking out." […]

MLB Home Run Props to Bet Today (4/1/26)
We are finishing up the first week of the season, and we have many opening day starters back on the bump today for their second start of the year. That makes my job of tracking down home runs a bit more challenging, but who's to say we can't attack these top pitchers, too? I was […]
Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers and Starts
Week One was a truncated one with only three or four games for most of your fantasy players. I'm going to pretend like we have enough data to know who will have a big year after only one series, but we've seen enough to anticipate the lineup trends and matchups for each team this coming […]
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Week 23
This is it! If you made it this far, then you're probably playing in your league's championship matchup this week (or maybe in a third-place consolation game?) And if your league goes next week, too, then you really need to have some offseason discussions about moving the playoffs earlier. Adam Silver says he's going to […]
MLB NRFI Bets (No Runs First Inning) - 3/27
Let's just take a few minutes to soak in how wonderful it is to have baseball back in our lives again, shall we? Opening Day was loaded with good games, and if you happened to read my strikeout prop article yesterday, I started 5-0 on those wagers for the season with a clean sweep! My […]

Spring Training News: Fantasy Risers, Fallers
Spring training is winding down, and the first game that actually counts is tomorrow as the Giants and Yankees open up the regular season! How much do we read into spring training results? The old joke is that if a player that you're high on has a good spring, then the results matter. If they […]
5th Starters With Upside: SP Sleepers
When examining the potential opening day rotations for all 30 teams, it's pretty clear that the quality of rotations varies greatly. The Dodgers have pitchers competing for their fifth spot in the rotation who could slot into one of the top two or three slots on most other teams, while the Colorado Rockies have a […]
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Week 22
The fantasy playoffs are heating up, and with each new week, managers are presented with more challenges as star players continue to drop like flies with injuries (my condolences to those who lost Tyrese Maxey, Cade Cunningham, and Anthony Edwards in recent weeks). I'm expanding the list to 20% and under this week to be […]
5 Hitter Bust Candidates: ADPs To Avoid
Wait, aren't you the pitching guy? Yes, most of my content here at RotoBaller has focused on starting pitchers, but I have some thoughts on which hitters to target (or, in this case, fade), too! If you're a fan of any of these players, don't take it personally! It's not like I don't like them […]

This article should be the capstone in my preseason coverage of starting pitching, as we draw closer to Opening Day and the last big draft weekend of the spring.

Thunder Dan's 6 Bold Predictions
'Tis the season for bold predictions! I don't love making them, but every year it seems like you all like reading them a bit more than the year before! I've had some tell me my predictions aren't often "bold enough," but I really like trying to make mine a bit more realistic. I'm not sure […]
NBA Bets and Props for Novig - 3/18
Prop betting in the NBA is getting a bit more challenging in the waning months of the season, with most slates lately having a majority of games with double-digit spreads. We have to worry about blowouts on a nightly basis, funky rotations from tanking teams, and injury situations changing mid-day. But there are a few […]
