The Astros […]

H2H Points League Pickups, Waiver Adds: Week 4

Another wild and wacky week in MLB, though it was tamer than the week before. Any week that a new team doesn't disappear from the schedule after a COVID outbreak is a good week, right?

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

Entering week four, the season is still moving forward. Some teams playing more than others and it certainly is interesting. Which players have COVID-19? Which schedules will be altered?

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

With a 60-game slate, deft work on the waiver wire is even more crucial than it is in a full season.

As in prior seasons, our focus will be on those players who are rostered in under […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

As week four approaches, the season is starting to take shape. Sample sizes for all statistics and analytics are getting larger, therefore becoming more indicative of future outcomes. Both pitchers and hitters are starting to show their true colors, making it easier to identify good matchups. With that being said let’s delve into the waiver […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

It's easy to hyper-analyze slow starts with nearly a quarter of the season gone (for some teams, at least), but it's important to keep in mind that teams have played fewer than 20 games. That's an extremely small sample of performance, and overreactions to poor early results have left some likely to be productive outfielders […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

Week 3 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

As this weird, altered season progresses, the imbalance in the schedule becomes a bigger and bigger issue. Some teams have already played double-figure games, while others have played just a single series.

Statcast Pitcher Studs and Duds - Exit Velocity

It's fair to say we have enough Statcast data now to dig into the numbers and start identifying early risers and fallers. Many starting pitchers have only taken two turns in the rotation, so the safest place to start is with average exit velocity numbers. In future installments, we'll get to barrels, expected stats, and […]
