Friday MLB slates are simply the best, hands down. Typically, we have the first game of a weekend series and all 30 teams in action.

With the All-Star break in the rearview mirror, we're officially entering the stretch run of the MLB season and the fantasy baseball season as well.

The 2026 season is quickly approaching as fantasy managers gear up for their upcoming drafts.
