Zach Thompson is a fantasy sports analyst and writer at RotoBaller, a multi-award-winning fantasy sports media company. He has been covering fantasy sports across multiple platforms since 2008 and has been playing fantasy sports since the late 1990s, when he manually calculated fantasy scores using box scores from the newspaper. Zach has covered a wide range of sports from a fantasy perspective, including baseball, basketball, football, golf, and hockey, while also exploring more niche formats such as Australian Rules Football and rugby. Simply put, if a sport has a fantasy format, Zach is willing to participate. Although he grew up nearly 8,000 miles away in Guam, Zach was raised a passionate Boston sports fan. After playing soccer competitively throughout high school and college, he now lives in central Massachusetts with his wife and four children. Zach enjoys attending as many sporting events as possible and has developed a particular passion for minor league baseball and tracking player development. His fantasy analysis often focuses on identifying undervalued players in overlooked situations, and few things are more satisfying than seeing a low-rostered player lead you to a fantasy championship!

Is Justin Wrobleski Worth a Waiver-Wire Look After a Gem Against the Mets?

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski held the Mets to just two hits in eight shutout innings on Monday night to earn his second win of the season. Wrobleski only had two strikeouts but was very efficient, needing just 90 pitches to get 24 outs. The 25-year-old lefty has a 2.12 ERA and 3.37 […]

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (4/10/2026)

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our daily home run prop bets! After a slower Thursday slate, all 30 MLB teams are back on the diamonds this Friday, giving us plenty of strong options to consider as we hunt down some homers. Even without Coors Field or Sutter Health Park, there are a few good matchups and […]


Bobby Witt Jr. Working Through a Power Outage

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is off to a slow start to the season by his lofty standards from the last few seasons. After hitting 20+ homers in each of his first four seasons with a career .357 wOBA, Witt has no homers and just a .298 wOBA in his first 12 games […]


James Wood Off To a Hot Start Through 12 Games

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has connected on four homers in his first dozen games this season, and he's hitting the ball well despite a .216 batting average. He has cut down on his strikeout rate a bit from last season and has an improved .294 ISO and .370 wOBA. Wood has a 54.5% hard-hit […]


With Carson Benge Slumping, Is It Time To Move On?

New York Mets outfielder Carson Benge homered on Opening Day but has had a hard time since then. In his first 11 games of the season, Benge is only 4-for-37 (.108) with three singles to go with that home run. He has contributed four stolen bases, but he has also struck out 12 times for […]


Is Brenton Doyle a Drop Candidate?

Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle has gotten off to a very slow start to the 2026 season. The 27-year-old righty is hitting just .139 (5-for-36) through his first 12 games with no home runs, one double, and 15 strikeouts. His 38.5% K% is up over ten percentage points from last season, and his hard-hit rate […]


Elly De La Cruz Remains a Strong Dual-Threat Producer

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz is coming off back-to-back seasons with 20+ homers and 30+ stolen bases, and he is well on his way to another big season of both power and speed. Through 12 games, he has three homers and three stolen bases, which puts him on pace for over 40 homers […]


Garrett Crochet Living Up to the Hype This Season

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet was one of the first pitchers off the board in most fantasy baseball drafts, and so far this season, he has looked every bit the ace managers were hoping for. In his three starts, Crochet is 2-1 with a 3.12 ERA, 2.60 FIP, and 22 strikeouts in 17 […]


Gunnar Henderson Providing an Early-Season Power Surge

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson has gotten off to a fast start to the season, with four homers in his first 12 games. Henderson is hitting .245 (12-for-49) with three doubles, four homers, six walks, and a stolen base for a .394 wOBA and .306 ISO. Last year, his ISO was just .165 in 154 […]


Ben Rice Is Cooking for the Yankees in the Early Going

New York Yankees catcher/first baseman Ben Rice has gotten off to a great start to the season, going 10-for-27 (.370) in his first eight games. Of his 10 hits, seven have been for extra bases, and he has four doubles and three homers as a result of a sparkling 77.8% hard-hit rate and 27.8% barrel […]


Cal Raleigh Breaks Lengthy Skid with First Long Ball of the Season

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh connected on his first home run of the season on Monday night in his team's loss to the Rangers. Raleigh didn't homer in his first 10 games of the season, going 5-for-38 (.132) with five walks and 20 strikeouts. He had a pair of hard-hit balls on Monday night, and […]


Cade Cavalli Can Contribute from the Waiver Wire

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Cade Cavalli is set to make his third start of the season on Tuesday against the Cardinals, and he makes sense to consider if you need a starting pitcher pickup from the waiver wire. The 27-year-old righty has allowed a total of three earned runs in his first two starts of […]


Rangers Turn to Jakob Junis to Earn Monday's Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jakob Junis earned his first save of the season on Monday by shutting down Seattle in the ninth inning of a close, 2-1 victory. Junis faced the middle of the Mariners' order and got Cal Raleigh to ground out to start the inning and Josh Naylor to hit into a game-ending […]


Jordan Romano Earns Fourth Save of Campaign

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jordan Romano only needed three pitches to secure his fourth save of the season on Monday night. He didn't start the ninth inning since the Angels had a 6-1 lead, but he entered with the tying run on deck after Chase Silseth gave up a run and put two more […]


Jose Soriano Turns in Another Dominant Showing, Emerging as Must-Start Pitcher

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano has looked outstanding in his three outings this season, improving to 3-0 by out-dueling Chris Sale to help the Halos beat the Braves on Monday, 6-2. Soriano did give up his first run of the season, but worked eight innings with 10 strikeouts while giving up just three […]


Bubba Chandler Struggles with Command Again, Becoming Risky Fantasy Asset?

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Bubba Chandler took the loss in his team's 5-0 loss to the Padres on Monday night. While Chandler did pick up four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings, he issued four walks and was charged with three earned runs. In just 8 2/3 innings in his first two starts, he has issued […]

Nick Pivetta Strikes out Eight in Resurgent Outing

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Nick Pivetta had an excellent bounce-back outing on Wednesday against the Giants, racking up eight strikeouts in five shutout innings to earn his first win of the season. Pivetta issued two walks but only gave up one hit. He threw a season-high 82 pitches and left with the score 2-0 […]


Jac Caglianone Enjoys Breakout Showing, Posts Three-Hit Effort

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone had a huge game on Wednesday night to help propel his team to a 13-9 victory over the visiting Twins. Caglianone went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, a double, and a hit by pitch. He raised his batting average on the young season from .200 to .357 with his […]


Masyn Winn Is "OK" After Single-Car Accident

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn was involved in a single-car accident on Wednesday after the team's walk-off win against the Mets. Winn had the game-winning hit and is 4-for-25 (.160) with two doubles, two walks, and a stolen base in his first six games. The team said the accident was a result of wet […]


Lucas Erceg Tallies Second Save, Emerging as Must-Roster Closer

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Lucas Erceg earned his second save of the season on Wednesday night by closing out the Twins in the Royals' 13-9 win at Kauffman Stadium. Erceg didn't start the ninth inning, since his team had a seven-run lead, but after Bailey Falter allowed three runs, bringing the tying run to […]


Trevor Rogers Sharp Again on Wednesday, Continues to Produce as High-End Starting Pitcher

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Trevor Rogers turned in another outstanding outing on Wednesday, pitching six strong innings against the Rangers. Rogers had just three strikeouts, but allowed only six hits in six innings against Texas, improving to 2-0 in his two starts this season. Rogers has only allowed two runs in his 13 innings this […]
