April Struggles: What's Wrong With Dallas Keuchel?

Last season Dallas Keuchel had a monumental year, to say the least. His 20 wins, 2.48 ERA, 2.91 FIP, and league leading 1.017 WHIP earned him the AL Cy Young award and a Gold Glove. So coming in to this season, many Fantasy Baseball Managers were thrilled to use an early round pick to reap […]

Byung Ho Park (1B, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This Korean import had a ton of buzz coming into 2016 and so far he has delivered. Byung-Ho Park is already displaying the power and run producing ability that has sorely been lacking on any incarnation of the Minnesota Twins offense since […]

Brandon Phillips (2B, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Owned in: 51% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Brandon Phillips is having a pretty ideal season, especially when looking forward. With six home runs, three stolen bases, and a slash line of .284/.310/.523, it seems almost too good to be true for the 34 year old defensive guru. Phillips has […]

Hector Neris (RP, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Not many people knew about Hector Neris when this season began, but the Philadelphia Phillies continue to impress with the diamonds in the rough they keep finding. Neris already has 28 K in 20 IP and has seemingly been the only bright […]

Javier Baez (2B/3B/SS, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 33% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: No one should be too surprised that highly touted prospect Javier Baez is living up to his big name this season, but everyone should be surprised at how widely available he is, especially given his triple infield eligibility. This season in […]

Tyler Chatwood (SP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 31% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: It is a widely known secret that Tyler Chatwood is capable of some very solid outings...when he is outside his home park of Coors Field. Even so, Chatwood still has a 3.09 ERA, 1.191 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9, and a not so […]

Jake Lamb (3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 17% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: The Diamondbacks have had their fair share of disappointing starts and breakout performances in 2016, but Jake Lamb stands out as someone who had a particularly exceptional month of April and beyond. Lamb currently has four home runs, two stolen bases, […]

J.A. Happ (SP, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: J.A. Happ has mostly been an afterthought for fantasy purposes until last season. Happ hadn't finished with a sub-4.00 ERA since 2010. In the last half of 2015 with Pittsburgh, however, something clicked. Happ went 7-2 with a 1.85 ERA, 1.02 WHIP for the Bucs. […]

Domingo Santana (OF, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Own in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Domingo Santana is listed as day-to-day because of tightness in his right shoulder. Although, he received some good news on Monday as he should return to action for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins, according to ESPN.com. The shoulder tightness has kept him out […]

April Struggles: What's Wrong With Albert Pujols?

After a monstrous 40 HR season last year that landed him a well-deserved spot in the All-Star game at the age of 35, Albert Pujols must have seemed like a safe and exciting pick for explosive offense in 2016. However, despite hitting six home runs so far this season in 116 AB, Pujols has a […]

Khris Davis (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For Khris Davis, the move from Milwaukee to Oakland in the off-season wasn't a fantasy-friendly one in terms of ballpark or supporting cast. Nevertheless, power like his tends to travel well. After a slow start in which Davis was homerless for the first 13 games, […]

Fernando Rodney (RP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 63% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Fernando Rodney is a perfect 8-for-8 in save opportunities this season. He is yet to allow an earned run in 12 innings of work. His 9.8 K/9 average is one full strikeout above his career mark. He is the undisputed closer in San Diego, with no real […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/11/16): MLB DFS Advice

May is here, and a ton of players are heating up alongside the weather. It's of course important to focus on hitters that have been hot of late, but also those that have had success against their opposing starter in the past. It's always wise to spend up at pitcher, as wins are so important […]

Bartolo Colon (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: We've all seen the footage, the memes, and the highlights. We have all heard Ron Darling's emphatic home run call as Bartolo Colon launched one to left field, acting like the dude just threw a no-no. Well, I guess for a 42 year old […]

Brett Lawrie (2B/3B, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Brett Lawrie has been one of many fortunate players swinging a bat for the Chicago White Sox this season. Owning the best record in the American League, the White Sox continue to piece together wins and throw together a deep lineup daily. Batting sixth in that lineup […]

Adam Conley (SP, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Adam Conley has been one of the biggest surprises so far in the 2016 season. The 25-year-old owns a 3.06 ERA with 34 K in 32.1 IP, and has dominated in each of his last two starts. Over those two outings, he has allowed no […]

Brad Miller (SS/OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brad Miller got off to a terrible start early in April, but he's really turned things around in the last two weeks. Over his last 15 games, Miller has hit .361 with three homers, and he should start scoring more runs […]

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Marcell Ozuna was a popular target in fantasy drafts last year after hitting 23 homers in 2014. His numbers plummeted across the board, however, and he earned a demotion to the minors. While he performed better upon returning to the majors, […]

Ketel Marte (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: After going 4-for-5 with his first homer of the year on Monday, Marte is hitting .297/.323/.398. Over the last two weeks, he's running a .920 OPS, helping to offset his stumble out of the gate. The 22 year old isn't a […]

Carlos Santana (1B, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Santana lost a decent chunk of his fantasy value after the Indians moved him out from behind the plate. His power numbers were excellent for a catcher, but are merely decent for a first baseman. His inability to hit for […]

Kevin Gausman (SP, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Over the past two seasons, Kevin Gausman has flashed the potential that led the Orioles to select him with the fourth pick in the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft. He has yet to put it all together or log more than 115 innings […]

Jose Ramirez (2B/SS/3B/OF, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jose Ramirez, the Indians' nine-hitter, has been playing left field and third base, and he should occasionally spell Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor in the middle infield slots. He's been hot to begin the season, hitting .310 with 12 RBI, and […]

Derek Dietrich (2B/3B/OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Dee Gordon suspended, Derek Dietrich has been handed the starting job at second base. So far, he’s running with it, hitting .323/.408/.597. Dietrich hit 10 homers in 289 plate appearances last season, so the pop is real. The average is probably headed down, […]

Brandon Moss (1B/OF, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon Moss’s plate discipline metrics and batting average continue to trend in the wrong direction, but at least he’s hitting for power again. The bulk of his at-bats have come in the Cards’ cleanup spot, which has helped him pile up […]
