Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Hitter, Pitcher Lineup Picks for Wednesday 8/19

We are about a quarter of the way through the season already, wow! This sprint season has thrown a myriad of calamities at all of us. The best way to combat the chaos is to focus on the streamable pitchers and hitters. When choosing my daily hitter streamers, I examine their platoon splits, lineup position, […]


Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Hitter, Pitcher Lineup Picks for Tuesday 8/18

The MLB season is filled with ebbs and flows, but the key to success is to find some gems to stream! Today we're going to stack a bunch of Rays as they begin a three-game series against Masahiro Tanaka at Yankee Stadium . When choosing my daily hitter streamers, I examine their platoon splits, lineup […]


Daily Fantasy Baseball Streamers - MLB Hitter, Pitcher Lineup Picks for Monday 8/17

It's another manic Monday, so you know what time it is - it's time to dig deep and find some streamers. Today we're going to take advantage of the Rockies in their first road series after a six-game homestand. We'll also take a look at a couple of Dodgers, Diamondbacks, and Blue Jays! When choosing […]


1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

Entering week five and it feels like the season is more chaotic than ever. We just need to grind it out a bit longer. This will help you do just that. Before we dive in, we need to keep a few things in mind: We focus on players rostered in 5x5 Roto formats in Yahoo! […]


2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

With a 60-game slate, diligent work on the waiver wire is even more critical than it is in a full season. Injuries and ineffectiveness will be that much more challenging to overcome, so every decision takes on greater import. As in prior seasons, our focus will be on those players who are rostered in under […]


Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

Most breakout starters who were afterthoughts to start the year have found their way onto a fantasy roster by now. Such as Dylan Bundy, Dustin May, Aaron Civale, and even the legend that is Randy Dobnak. However, there are still plenty of young, high-upside starters to be plucked from the waiver wire. Who to add […]


Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 5

Through four weeks of the 2020 MLB season, almost all teams have played more than one-quarter of their season. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have played only six games. Although a significant number of the remaining Cardinals games will last only seven innings, Cardinals hitters are set for an exceptionally high workload over the […]


H2H Points League Pickups, Waiver Adds: Week 5

We almost had it. With the return of the St. Louis Cardinals, we almost had the full league in action. Not so fast, suckers! The pandemic struck again, this time snipping the Reds right out of the schedule. But all we can do is march on and try to win each week. Oh, and trawl […]


Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 5

Welcome to RotoBaller's weekly article of two-start pitcher streamers for 2020! Successfully streaming pitchers can literally be a game-changer when it comes to fantasy baseball. When it comes to daily leagues, two-start streams aren't that important, since you can stream every day. But when it comes to weekly leagues, two-start streams become exponentially more important. […]


Hitter Streamers for Fantasy Baseball Week 5

Welcome back to another installment of the hitting streamers column! This edition is for August 17 through August 23.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 4 Waiver Wire

For a season chock full of bullpen changes and injuries already, this week was a slight cool down period. In other words, this would still probably have been a bigger bullpen news week during a normal season, but for this particular season, it seemed like a much-welcomed downswing. There were still depth chart changes, there were still […]


Statcast Pitcher Studs and Duds - xwOBA

The season rolls on and we have more data to digest by the day. Since many regular starting pitchers have taken at least three or four turns in the rotation, I will focus on Statcast data for those who have faced a minimum of 50 batters so far. This narrows the field to 101 pitchers, […]


From Farm to Roster: Potential Call-Ups For Week 4

Every Thursday for the duration of the Major League Baseball season, I'm going to be discussing players on a team's Taxi Squad or Alternate Site Camp who are worth keeping an eye on or stashing in hopes of reaping fantasy goodness.

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

The 2020 season continues to move along and with it, more challenges to find deep league sleepers. Playing time situations are still a little shaky for some teams, and lineups are anything but stable as the season crosses the quarter mark. There are still some intriguing names who are being a little underlooked that can […]


Week 4 MLB Closers & Bullpen Usage Report

Monitoring bullpens in 2020 will be a vital task each and every day. Because of this, we'll be publishing a weekly article at RotoBaller that tracks which bullpens are being taxed and which pitchers within that bullpen are being heavily used. The idea of this column is to help you gain an inside track into which […]

It's time for another day of the stream machine! Today's feature is a Marlins' stack against lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Josh James Should Close for the Astros

The pitching woes in Houston continue to stack upon one another. Consider it bad luck, karma for cheating, or whatever you want, the fact of the matter is that this pitching staff is dealing with a litany of issues and cannot afford to make more mistakes throughout the rest of this shortened season. 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? We're still at the point of the season where the waiver wire is littered with positional players who are excelling […]


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? Who is pitching on which days? Essentially, it continues to bring chaos and we need to embrace it. Before we dive in, we need to keep […]


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. Injuries and ineffectiveness will be that much more challenging to overcome, so every decision takes on added importance. 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 […]
