Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 6
Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

Preseason Hitter Sleepers Who Haven't Woken Up for Fantasy Baseball
The highs of sleeper hunting during draft season can quickly be brought low when our favorite later picks fizzle and sputter out of the gate instead of blowing the roof off from the word go. But should we be patient, grasshoppers? Or is it time to be proactive, revoking their sleeper status and confiscating official... Read More
Early Plate Discipline Standouts for 2022
In 2019, I introduced a new (yet simple) index statistic for pitchers – mPDI, which was inspired by a famous quote by Hall of Fame pitcher, Greg Maddux: “The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they’re taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.” Maddux’s simplistic...

Things are different this season. The offense is down across the board and we are seeing hitters have a lot of trouble hitting for power.

In all aspects of life, it can be very common to strive for immediate gratification.

Free MLB Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (5/19/22)
I have to say, going from 18 games on Tuesday to 15 games yesterday to eight games today is quite the precipitous decline. We're coming off a fantastic day of baseball with three extra-inning games, and with some tight matchups today, hopefully, we can once again be entertained in a major way. Regardless, it's baseball,... Read More
