Tejay Antone (SP/RP, CIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tejay Antone, the 6'4, 230-lb. alumnus of Weatherford College, came up mega-clutch for Cincy on many occasions last year, and while he closed out 2020 with a 2.80 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 35.1 innings, the circumstances of being a spot-starter/long-reliever are fickle, […]

Myles Straw (SS/OF, HOU) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Myles Straw forgot to unpack his 2020 struggles before kicking off 2021, and over 81 AB so far he's managed only three XBH (one triple, two doubles) and a beaten-up slash of .222/.304/.272, though he's still collected five steals in six attempts, […]

Nico Hoerner (3B/2B/SS, CHI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: It already feels like Nico Hoerner has been a fixture in the Cubs lineup and dugout for years; which is why I was quite surprised to find out that he's still just 23, having blown through the minor leagues in just 337 […]

The Big Picture - Fantasy > Reality

Reality doesn't always meet our expectations (not just talking baseball here). But in the fantasy world, we can make things play out however we want. A player is slumping? Cut or trade him and he's gone forever. Your favorite baseball team can't realistically pull that off midseason no matter how much you want Matt Carpenter […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

Another week gone by, and a lot went down in the AL bullpens while the NL bullpens mostly had a straightforward week. The Tigers and Reds bullpens are still their own messes. The Royals may have a new closer already. The Mariners may be moving to a new guy too. The Blue Jays bullpen might […]

Early Plate Discipline Improvers

Early season data is never very reliable. When you are still in the first month of the season, one game can have a big impact on a player's stat line in most categories. That makes it somewhat foolish to look at the data until you at least get a month or so of games out […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 5

Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them. Sometimes to achieve the optimal team, you need to make trades. The best way to gain added value is to trade away an over-performing player for one in a rut. This way, […]

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 4/30 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We had some excitement for Thursday iteration my MLB picks. Oakland plated the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth to cash the moneyline, then we pushed on the under in the Philly/St. Louis game that only pushed because it went to extra innings. It obviously could have been a loss, so we'll take […]
