Jaime Garcia (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The 28 year old lefty for the Cardinals has been rather effective since returning from the DL.  He currently owns a 1-3 record but don't let that fool you for a second. All four of his outings have been quality starts, and he has […]

MLB DFS Lineup Picks and Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for 6/8/15

When it comes to fantasy sports, anything can happen. While I do not believe in magic, I do believe in miracles. Miracles can happen at anytime and it is nearly impossible to predict. Instead of trying to predict these miracles, I will base my DraftKings DFS picks off of consistency. Finding consistency in fantasy sports […]

Lance McCullers (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Lance McCullers has looked awfully, awfully sharp. With a fastball that averages out around 94, McCullers has struck out 29 batters in only 24 innings on the mound. That’s good enough for a 29.6% K rate. Chicago’s South Side team is striking out at a […]

Astros Top Prospect Carlos Correa To Be Promoted Today

Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros have called up top prospect Carlos Correa to the majors, and he will be ready to play today against the Sox. Correa, 20, is the number one prospect in the Astros system, and is number two in the league behind the Twins' Byron Buxton. Houston, who […]

Week 10 Start/Sit: MLB Starting Pitcher (SP) Matchups

What’s up RotoBallers. It seems that for the first time, in a long time, pitching around baseball isn't quite as dominant as it has been. A lot of the non-elite pitchers are struggling to find consistency, leading to higher team ERAs and WHIPs for fantasy baseball owners. In such times, I find it's best to bench some iffy […]

Carson Smith (RP, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve touched on Smith and Rodney in the past. It may finally be time to just get rid of Rodney while you can. Rodney has had an embarrassing stretch as the closer, giving up runs in seven of his last ten appearances. That […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 10 (Part 1)

Let’s talk All Stars. More specific, All Star starting pitchers. There are several great candidates in both leagues and now that the voting is exclusively online, it’s about time the managers and league turn the voting of the starters over to the fans as well. In the American League, there are several candidates that have […]

The 2015 season is well underway, and of course everyone is looking to improve their team. Over the course of the season I’ll be giving you two players at second base and shortstop per week who I think can help your team. Below our my recommendations for Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. These […]

In the first installment of the Winner's series, we take a look at the Indianapolis Colts' pickup of former Houston Texan's wide receiver Andre Johnson. Previously Frankie looked at off-season losers Drew Brees […]

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 10

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that could be the difference between winning or losing in your fantasy league. If you play […]

First Base / Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Week 10

Hunting for values on the waiver wire is one of the most fun, and most challenging, parts of any fantasy season. This can be especially true at the infield corners, an area where the stars are readily scooped up and finding a low cost alternative can be often difficult. Here at RotoBaller, we're always looking […]

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice for 6/8/15

It's FREE to enter and pays out $100,000 in […]

Top Five Two-Start Pitcher Streamers & Sleepers for Week 10

Quality over quantity. Every fantasy owner knows this. But when looking at the starting pitcher free agent waiver wire for the coming week, ideally you’d like to have a guy that is going to be on the mound more than once. Most teams are going to have a couple of starters pitching twice in a […]

Pedro Strop (RP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Saves are one of the most fickle categories in fantasy baseball, and Saturday afternoon showed us why. After being called on to try and shut the door on the Nationals during yesterday's game, Hector Rondon was pulled after facing only batter. He walked Anthony Rendon, so […]

Carlos Correa (SS, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: And there we have it... it's finally Carlos Correa time. Earlier today, it was announced that the top MLB shortstop prospect for the Houston Astros has been called up to the big leagues, making him an immediate must-add in all fantasy baseball leagues. If you are […]

Taijuan Walker (SEA, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Walker was one my preseason picks for a breakout performance, and he proceeded to make me (and others) look foolish with a rough start to 2015. Yes, going off a strong Spring is foolish when it comes to starting pitchers. But check out his splits in […]

Alex Guerrero (OF/3B, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Guerrero likely won’t appear on this list again, as his ownership level has crept up to the cutoff point. With Juan Uribe now toiling in Atlanta and Scott Van Slyke on the shelf, Guerrero has the clearest path to playing time he’s […]

Rusney Castillo (OF, BOS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% owned in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Obviously, Castillo has been a disappointment so far. He opened the season in the minors, missed significant time with injuries, and has scuffled in his second taste of major league action. An OPS below .400 is abysmal, of course, but keep in mind […]

Andre Ethier (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Like Guerrero, Ethier has benefited from injuries to his teammates and has taken full advantage of increased playing time. He’s cooled off a bit in recent days but still boasts a .295/.380/.517 line, with seven homers and 22 RBI. Last season notwithstanding, Ethier […]

Chad Bettis (COL, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues / NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I've received a ton of inquiries regarding Bettis so I felt it was only right to take a deeper look. Bettis has been a revelation for the Rockies rotation, compiling a 2.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and a 27/9 K/BB ratio over 33.1 […]

Carlos Beltran (OF/DH, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: At 38, Beltran’s best days are pretty clearly behind him. 2014 was the worst season of his career, and after a sluggish start, fantasy owners could be forgiven for writing him off. Beltran, however, showed signs of life with a .298/.316/.500 line […]

Matt Moore (TB, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I wrote about Moore in my DL edition article but with his rehab progressing smoothly, I wanted to reiterate to owners to grab Moore if you have an extra DL spot. He only threw 52 pitches over 2.1 innings and his fastball was hovering around […]

Adam Eaton (OF, CHW) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Following the extension he signed as part of the Pale Hose’s offseason splurge, expectations were high for Eaton. Add to that the fact that he’s been a popular fantasy sleeper for a couple of years now, and his putrid start to the […]

Tim Hudson (SF, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tim Hudson is the tortoise; slow, steady, but effective and reliable. He isn't flashy (4.67 K/9), he isn't blowing anyone away (88 mph fastball), and he can be boring to watch (55.7 GB%). However, he is consistent (hasn't had an ERA above 3.97 since 2006) and durable (at […]

Top Outfield Waiver Pickups & Adds for Week 10

As we enter the middle stretch of the season, it becomes both easier to identify and harder to add players on the wire who can help us. Many breakout candidates have likely been long since snapped up in your league, so you’ll need to dig a bit deeper to find talent. Filters and splits are […]

Below are my top MLB hitter streamer options for Week 10 of fantasy baseball. All players listed here are under 50% owned in fantasy leagues and play seven games this week. There is less streaming talent available than other weeks, but if you need to take a flier, these are your guys. Streaming hitters is a […]

Mike Bolsinger (SP, LAD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of fleaflicker leagues. ANALYSIS: This article should be short and sweet. That isn't because there is nothing to say about Mike Bolsinger, that is because Mike Bolsinger has statistically made himself a very easy sell. This season Bolsinger has a 1.98 ERA, a 1.073 WHIP, a 3.37 […]

Billy Burns (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 1o+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Oakland Athletics recently lost their starting center fielder, Coco Crisp, to a neck injury till at least July.  In searching for a replacement the Oakland A's called up Billy Burns from AAA.  Since his call up he's been on fire.  In […]

Kyle Hendricks (SP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Most Leagues / Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It may be hard to notice Kyle Hendricks through the polarizing fog of Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler, Addison Russell, and Javier Baez, but Kyle Hendricks is making it clear that he is also a gleaming bright […]
