DraftKings Lineup Picks & Sleepers (5/23/17): MLB DFS Advice

As is the case most weeks, we have a huge Tuesday slate. There are 15 games, which leaves us with multiple stacking options to go along with plenty of pitching options.

Week 8 Waiver Wire Watch List

Welcome to Week 8 of The Watch List. We have had a few iterations already, but here’s a friendly reminder for those who forgot. Each week, we’ll be updating this list full of players who you maybe aren’t quite ready to pick up (depending on league size, of course), but who need to be on […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - Deep Points Leagues

Points leagues are a different beast compared to rotisserie leagues, as you are looking for someone who can fill the whole stat sheet, and when you can find some of those guys on the wire, they are golden. Here are a few guys who can contribute in deep points leagues, one at each position to […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Small sample sizes have now become reasonably big enough for us to make some informed decisions. It's unlikely you'll find any potential 30-HR bats still available on the waiver wire at this point, but streaming the right players each week can be extremely helpful even if you aren't in a head-to-head league. The corner infield […]

DraftKings Lineup Picks & Sleepers (5/22/17): MLB DFS Advice

It's the start of a new week and a time to either keep the winning going from the weekend, or try to start fresh by cashing in some DraftKings contests. There is a small slate, with just nine games scheduled, so the player pool is drastically smaller than usual. The weather looks good for the most part, but the […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers (Week 8): Head-to-Head Leagues

As a new week is upon us, it's time to get rid of that bench bat or middle reliever you have hanging around. Instead, maximize your roster slots with some pitchers who have two starts this week and are probably still available in your league. Here are the top two-start pitchers to stream for Week […]

Strikeout Rate Risers and Fallers for Week 7: Buy or Sell?

We’re constantly trying to come up with new features that will help you dominate your fantasy leagues. Last year, we built a tool that identifies the biggest trends in a pitcher's strikeout rate over the last thirty days. With our sample size being so small this early in the season though, we will look at the difference between […]

Champ or Chump: Ervin Santana & Michael Pineda

One of the most amazing things about pitching is how many ways there are to do it successfully. Ervin Santana has compiled an ERA of 2.07 by allowing his defense to gobble up every ball in play. By contrast, Michael Pineda has succeeded by limiting the number of balls in play against him, striking out […]

DraftKings Lineup Picks & Sleepers (5/20/17): MLB DFS Advice

We have a full 15 games today, per usual. DraftKings has split them up into an eight game early slate featuring Max Scherzer and the best stacking options, and a seven game main slate.

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 8

Big market, big name, big deal. Sometimes we need to let go of the past and take a hard look at some players who simply aren't living up to their reputations. Likewise, some players who fall under the "failed prospect" label could wind up providing better value than that big free agent signing you're holding […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 7

Another week gone by, and another few bullpens shaken up. It seems to be the theme of the season, at least early on: managers are not afraid to make changes in the ninth inning and leashes for closers are getting shorter and shorter. It has resulted in the fantasy-abhorred closer-by-committee thing happening a few more […]

Power Risers and Fallers for Week 7: Buy or Sell?

Welcome back to this investigative piece where we examine players who have seen some notable changes in their power profiles -- for better or for worse -- in 2017. As usual, you don’t need me to tell you that Miguel Sano or Aaron Judge are strong or that Jarrod Dyson and Billy Hamilton are toward […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire & Pickups for Week Seven

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that could […]

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Relief Pitcher (RP)

The comedian Lewis Black has a fantastic bit about the dumbest thing he’s ever heard in his life. After relaying the thing in question, he cautions the audience, “Don’t think about that sentence for more than three minutes, or blood will shoot out your nose.” This is more or less how it felt trying to […]

Yahoo MLB DFS Advice (5/18/17): Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks

Happy Thursday morning, or afternoon, or whenever you happen to be reading this. There are 11 games on the docket Thursday with only five of them happening in the evening. All five of the night games are connected to the GPP's so they're the ones that I'll be focusing on as a result. The start times of the 11 games that are connected to the […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It feels like this season's moving in slow motion, stat-wise. Things have improved a bit since Gary Sanchez returned to give his fantasy owners SOME hope. Still, looking at the numbers for backstops can feel like an exercise in tedium. There's almost no real movement, save for very tiny increments. Austin Hedges hit another homer... […]

Digging Deeper: Week 7 AL Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome back to Digging Deeper! I'll be taking a look at some deeper AL waiver wire options for Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season. There's plenty of speculation to be had about the players around 20% or lower in Yahoo! leagues this week. I have three hitters and three pitchers below who all possess some […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/18/17): MLB DFS Advice

The afternoon slate once again dominates this Thursday, but there's enough action in the main slate to put in a bunch of lineups and keep an eye on the box scores all day long. Offense should also be abundant with several games with a total of nine or higher and with no totals below eight. […]

Champ or Chump: Todd Frazier & Jake Arrieta

Fantasy owners frequently pay attention to the shiny new toys that spring up every season, but underperformers may not be noticed as quickly. If your platform of choice lacks a write-up on a particular player, it is easy to assume that he put up a boring game like 1-for-4 with a run scored. Only when […]

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Starting Pitcher

The time for chalking things up to “just April shenanigans” has come and gone, and we here at RotoBaller felt that it was time for a rankings update with roughly 20 percent of the season in the books. Of course, now we’re closer to 25 percent but don’t worry -- we’ll always bring you the […]
