Jameson Taillon - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS:   It's a very small sample size on Taillon this year, and the results haven't been great, but he does have a really strong 28% K% and a 6.7% BB% right now. He has had one of the lowest walk rates in the […]

Eury Perez - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Just a quick disclaimer here since Perez is already above the 50% threshold we use for this piece.
