BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Miller has been a Stuff+ darling so far, being right up there at the top of the league with his flame-throwing ways.

Louie Varland - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Varland was one of those rookie pitchers that did not have a great start in the box score this week. However, his underlying metrics were stunning. Varland put up an elite 17.2% SwStr% and a 40.2% CSW% on the 87 pitches he […]

Nick Pivetta- Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS:   It's boring, and there are just as many mediocre or bad starts as good ones for Pivetta, but he's at least proven to be an innings eater and a guy who can get strikeouts in the Majors. Sometimes in fantasy, you just need […]

Clarke Schmidt- Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Yeah, it's been a disastrous season for Schmidt after there was some hype (I contributed to this) for him coming into the season. Schmidt has a 5.83 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP. He's given up 2.1 HR/9 and has yet to record a […]

Seth Lugo - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  12+ Team leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS:   I've written him up before, but people just aren't picking Lugo up.

Tyler Wells Taking The Hill Sunday

Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Tyler Wells is starting Sunday's contest against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old has pitched well through his first six appearances (five starts) of the season, posting a 3.34 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 20.8% strikeout rate, and 4.6% walk rate with two wins.

Reid Detmers - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS:   Detmers seemingly just can't find a consistent groove.

Domingo German - Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7

BALLER MOVE:  Add in all leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS:   The whiffs just keep coming. The Yankees righty finds himself in the top ten in the league in both SwStr% and K% more than a month into the season. The curveball is just fantastic, and the rest of the stuff has been […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Naylor owns an awful .602 OPS with only seven extra-base hits so far in 2023.
