High-Upside Starting Pitchers: Swinging Strike Edition

Unlike the fantasy football world, there are not a lot of casual baseball fans playing the fantasy game. Have you ever heard of a friendly office fantasy baseball league? Probably not. If you're playing fantasy baseball for any actual stake, you are most likely competing against people who know what they're doing - at least […]

Pitcher Statcast: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball

Statcast metrics such as Barrels and Brls/BBE are great ways to evaluate a batter's performance, so it is only natural to assume that the metrics would be predictive for pitchers as well. As much as batters want to hit a Barrel every time, pitchers want to avoid them at all costs. Yet there is evidence […]

There are three essential components that go into hitting a home run.

Breakout Outfielders That Will Keep Improving for 2022 Fantasy Baseball - Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Teoscar Hernandez

We've already covered the breakout infielders to target for 2022 fantasy baseball. In this article, we’ll stick to outfielders.

Adventures in Positional Scarcity - Catchers Edition for Fantasy Baseball Drafts

This question of how to handle the catcher position has taken on a new level of tough in 2022, at least in the opinion of this analyst. Catchers have always underperformed offensively relative to the rest of the positions, mainly because the first bullet point on their job description is not to hit the ball […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 31: English Premier League

The EPL is back after an international break and we're looking to pick up from where we left off a fortnight ago. In a shortened slate, we started off with a loss after Wolves led 2-0 but were controversially reduced to ten men and ended up losing 3-2. But, we managed to bag healthy profits […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have the usual modestly-sized slate on tap Thursday night, as there are just five games on the ledger.

The player pool […]

Running Back Stat Busts: Elusiveness Rating - Ezekiel Elliott, Cordarrelle Patterson and More

A lot of elements go into making a running back desirable for fantasy football. Opportunity, a good offensive line, and a good offense are all key elements. However, something equally important is how elusive those running backs are, this includes breaking tackles and gaining yards after contact. Often, players who have these traits fall into […]

Eric Samulski's Top 100 Starting Pitchers

I decided to publish a top-100 starting pitching rankings list! I have no idea why, though. These fantasy baseball rankings lists are often the most scrutinized and criticized of anything anybody publishes, so I'm not sure why I decided to open myself up to this. However, I've also been researching pitching all offseason and constantly […]

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~75 pick CURRENT ADP: ~87 overall ANALYSIS: NL Rookie of the Year showed why he was the fifth overall pick back in 2018. India hit .269 with an exceptional .376 OBP to go with 21 HR and 12 SB last season. While those numbers are great for a rookie, India has […]

Dynasty Price Check - D'Andre Swift

Perennially living in the shadow of Jonathan Taylor, Lions running back D'Andre Swift is often overlooked. It has been largely forgotten that when Taylor and Swift were coming out of college, many believed Swift to be the better all-around back. Taylor has obviously dominated the fantasy discussion, but could Swift remind us why we thought […]

Relief Pitchers to Target for Holds in 2022 Fantasy Baseball Drafts

Welcome back fellow RotoBallers. One area I implore you to explore is getting your butt into some leagues with Holds as a scoring category.
