Tarik Skubal - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

MLB Strikeouts Player Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/14/2025)

One of these days, I am going to have a big day of results on the same day that I pen this article. Right now, it feels like my K prop picks always hit harder the day before or after, with the case in point being a crummy 2-5 record in Saturday's article followed by […]


Sean Murphy - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS, Waiver Wire

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3 (April 14 - April 20)

If you're like me, you have at least one team with an IL already filled with players, and we are not even a full month into the MLB season. Whether you are looking for injury replacements or just some streaming options, you've come to the right place, as I break down the best and most […]


Cristopher Sanchez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

MLB Strikeouts Player Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/12/2025)

There aren't too many aces on the mound today, but that means we have some lower numbers, too, with a lot of pitchers' props set at 4.5 or 5.5 strikeouts. I'm always opportunistic, and I think there are some good spots to target today, including a few unders as well. We hit all three unders […]


Taj Bradley - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Expert Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks For Today (4/11/25)

Finally, a huge Friday slate to tackle with 13 games on both FanDuel and DraftKings tonight! There's no shortage of pitching or bats today, so there should be multiple paths toward building a winning lineup. If you're looking for some home run prop bets, I just launched our first edition of those HERE, so I […]


Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (4/11/2025)

If you're looking for strikeout props, check back tomorrow, as I will continue that series on Saturday. But today, I am taking a headfirst dive into the pool of home run prop bets! To be completely transparent, I bet home run props mainly for fun, as they are much tougher to predict than other player […]


Anthony Edwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks, Fantasy Basketball Rankings

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (4/10/25)

It's a tidy little five-game slate here tonight, and after Thursday's games, we have only two more regular-season slates on Friday and Sunday before the NBA playoffs start! Two of the five games mean something to both teams involved, so targeting those makes sense. However, we can't ignore the value from some of the other […]

MLB Strikeouts Player Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/9/2025)

It's another split slate of MLB action today as the trend of mid-week afternoon games in April continues. If you love betting on strikeout props, you've come to the right place, as I have another fresh batch of them ready to go for today's contests! Sure, players will fluctuate throughout the year on a game-by-game […]


Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2 (April 7 - April 13)

I hope you scooped up Ivan Herrera last week before he went nuclear or maybe his teammate Lars Nootbaar - neither of which should end up on waivers again for the rest of the season if they stay healthy. The early part of the season is the best time to be proactive on the wire, […]


Spencer Arrighetti - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB DFS Picks

MLB Strikeouts Player Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/5/2025)

Welcome back for the second edition of our strikeout prop picks! In my first go-round, we finished at 4-4 with a few near-misses. I went 4-2 on K props last night, so I am hoping to keep the momentum going into a big Saturday split slate today. Some of my favorite MLB player props to […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 4/4/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

If you have come here for anything other than Deni Avdija praise and admiration, then you may be in the wrong place. The end-of-season run that Deni is on is a thing of beauty, especially for someone who touted him as hard as I did coming into the season for fantasy basketball purposes. As always, […]


Spencer Schwellenbach - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rookie Rankings

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Expert Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks For Today (4/4/25)

We have another early-season split slate on a Friday, which we won't see too often once the season gets going in full swing. I'll be covering the seven evening games tonight, and if you need help with the early slate, I'd recommend jumping in our RotoBaller Discord to chat with our staff and hardcore MLB […]

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Thursday, 4/3/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Things are getting hairier every day for us NBA DFS players. But if you are willing to grind it out til the end of the year and play some guys you've never rostered before all year, you might just find yourself atop the leaderboard at the end of the night. The last few weeks of […]


Ryan Pepiot - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

MLB Strikeouts Player Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/2/2025)

Some of my favorite MLB player props to wager daily are pitcher strikeout props! Did you know that strikeout rates - among pitchers and hitters - are some of the most stable statistics in baseball? Sure, players will fluctuate throughout the year on a game-by-game basis and from year to year, but we usually get […]


Tyler Soderstrom - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1 (March 31 - April 6)

It's a little too early to dig too deep into the matchup data this week, but we can certainly take a look at which hitters are heading to hitter-friendly parks and have the potential to either keep their hot starts going or bounce back after a rocky opening weekend. Our hitter streamers fantasy baseball waiver-wire […]


FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 3/28/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It's only seven games tonight, which feels light for a Friday night but also just might happen to be a breath of fresh air for a content creator like myself who has fewer teams to sort through and injuries to account for! As always, I'm going to help break down the FanDuel NBA DFS slate […]


Dylan Cease - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB DFS Picks

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Expert Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks For Today (3/28/25)

'Tis the day after Opening Day and our second chance to build MLB DFS lineups. If you didn't have the White Sox beating the Angels 8-0 or the Orioles scoring twice as many runs as everyone else on your Bingo card, don't fret. We have a long way to go this season and many more […]


Jarrett Allen - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Thursday, 3/27/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Today might be MLB opening day, but the NBA stops for no one! We have six games on the docket tonight, and there are contests to be entered and won! Let's see where we want to attack this slate and which players we want to feature in our lineups tonight. Let's dive in and find […]


Tyrese Haliburton - NBA DFS Lineup Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 3/26/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

While tonight's NBA DFS slate only includes six games, you can make a pretty good argument for using players from any of these games in your lineups, as no team is favored by more than five points. The highest total comes from the Lakers-Pacers game at 235, followed by a clash of the tankers as […]

7 Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions - Dan Palyo's 2025 Picks

Who doesn't love some preseason bold predictions? I usually try to avoid making extremely hyperbolic statements and predictions and tend to focus more on grinding the data to find the answers I am looking for, but what fun is that? "Go big or go home" is what they say, right? If you're going to be […]


Zaccharie Risacher - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, NBA DFS Picks, NBA Injury News

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 21 (2024-25): March 24 - March 30

Did you survive the minefield of players resting this week? I'm not sure I did as I won't know until tomorrow if I advance to the next round of the playoffs in several leagues. But the antics of the Wizards and Jazz have not helped us out as both teams have important fantasy players and […]


Jackson Jobe - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Top Starting Pitcher Prospects: Fantasy Baseball Sleepers and Busts for 2025

Rookie starting pitchers often don't find success in their first big league season. For every Paul Skenes (okay, there haven't been many of those - ever), a dozen other rookies debut every season and pitch just okay or even poorly. Most rookie pitchers will be drafted late, except for a few highly-touted talents who are […]


Scotty Pippen Jr. - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 3/21/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Normally, I might grumble about having three extra games on the FanDuel slate to break down, while DraftKings is only featuring the first seven games of the evening. But the late games are going to provide us plenty of solid plays and more options tonight, which might not be a bad thing with how funky […]


Jack Leiter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rookie Rankings

Last But Not Least! Fifth Starters With Upside - Fantasy Baseball Sleepers for 2025

One interesting way to judge MLB teams would be by the quality of their fifth starter. The best teams usually have depth in their starting rotation and might have a guy in their fifth slot who could be the second or third-best pitcher on a lesser team's staff. Fifth starters are diverse, from rookies trying […]


Tari Eason - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, DFS Picks, NBA Injury News

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 3/19/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We haven't had a slate like this in a while! There are 11 games on the docket tonight and an absolutely loaded player pool, thanks to major mismatches and value that has opened up with injuries and players resting. I always make it a point to recommend some higher-priced players for cash games and GPPs […]

Identifying Elite Fantasy Baseball Pitchers for Drafts - Plate Discipline Metrics Studs

One of the reasons I love fantasy baseball so much is that it allows me to crunch numbers and data more than other sports. Baseball is such a stat-driven sport and there's no shortage of statistics to examine, especially now in the days of Statcast, PitchFX, and Stuff+. For my final deep stat dive of […]

Noteworthy Spring Training News for Fantasy Baseball Drafts - Hot/Cold Players, Injury Concerns

We get a few games that count starting tomorrow as MLB continues the tradition of starting a week early with the Tokyo series. The rest of the league has another week's worth of games before making their final cuts and heading north for Opening Day. Spring training results are fun to track, but should we […]

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakout Picks - Dan Palyo's Mid-Round Values

Pitching, pitching, and more pitching - you can't have enough of it as the long season often leads to the inevitable injuries as arms wear down. I am a little obsessed with pitching; I'll admit it. While I'd like to go after some elite arms early in fantasy baseball drafts, this season, I think I […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 20 (2024-25): March 17 - March 23

The fantasy basketball playoffs are in full swing for many leagues and even the late-starters are set to begin this week. Frustration with players resting and schedules being tough to predict is mounting and I was a victim of it myself just this week with Utah and the Walker Kessler drama. My best advice is […]
