Strikeout Rate Risers and Fallers for Week 9: Buy or Sell?

Missing bats is the #1 way a pitcher can control his own fate. If hitters make contact, the pitcher is largely at the mercy of the atmosphere, the weather, the ball park, the ability/work ethic of his fielders, and sometimes just sheer luck. This is ultimately why strikeouts are so important. By looking at pitchers […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 10

Now may be a good time to mention that I advocated picking up Justin Bour back on May 1, although in a different column. Rather than simply calling him a waiver wire pickup or streamer, I'm going all in on the big man. Never let it be said that I'm not an unabashed fan of […]

Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned In: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Since his recent return from the disabled list, Logan Forsythe has looked a bit more like his old self again.

Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned In: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Hector Neris currently holds a 2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 10.0 K/9, and four total saves out of the Philadelphia bullpen.

Tommy Joseph (1B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned In: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Tommy Joseph catches a lot of flack from Fantasy Baseball Managers and those who believe he is just the Philadelphia gatekeeper at first base during the organization's rebuild, and the reasoning is perplexing. This season Joseph has smacked eight homers along with […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire & Pickups for Week Nine

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week Nine of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that […]

Power Risers and Fallers for Week 9: Buy or Sell?

Welcome back to this investigative piece where we examine players who have seen some notable changes in their power profiles -- for better or for worse -- in 2017.

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 9

Another quiet week in the world of bullpens, and few fantasy owners will complain about that. After a whirlwind of moves to start the season that lasted through most of April and May, it's been oddly comforting to have two weeks straight where bullpens allow us to relax. But, as always, it wasn't a completely quiet week, […]

ADP Arbitrage - Mid-Round Targets for MFL10 Fantasy Drafts

The Wisdom of Crowds is a concept theorized by philosopher Francis Galton, who observed at a county fair in 1906 a group of over 800 people guessing the weight of an ox that was on display. While the majority of people were off by a fair amount, the median guess was 1208 pounds, less than […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire: Catchers

Once again, it seems like catchers have about as much forward momentum, stat-wise, as Buster Posey did when he rushed out to protect Hunter Strickland after Bryce Harper charged the mound. Oh... wait. Anyways, when I open the statistics page for catchers, this is what I feel like doing when I see nearly the same […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/1/17): MLB DFS Advice

Thursday is a very limited player pool no matter which slate daily fantasy players choose. It's still plenty interesting, however, as even though there are few standout aces on the mound, there are fewer scrub pitchers than on recent days. That makes fewer easy to pick stacks, making it very important to rely on context […]

Champ or Chump: Adam Frazier & Hunter Renfroe

By now you've probably heard that Mike Trout will miss approximately 6-8 weeks after tearing a ligament in his thumb. This injury is worse than it seems if your fantasy roster relied on Trout, as most batters struggle to regain their power stroke after sustaining a hand injury. If you're in the tough position of […]
