DFS Lineup Picks for 7/11: FanDuel, DraftKings & DraftStreet Advice

We're Going DFS Sleepers Bonkers For 7/11 We may have taken last week off for the fireworks preparations, and consumption of adult beverages (hopefully in moderation), but we are back in a big way for the first recommendations of July! Are you just sick and tired of seeing your seasonal fantasy baseball team at the bottom […]

Stephen Vogt (C / OF / 1B, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All AL-Only & 2-Catcher Leagues ANALYSIS: Billy Beane's swiss army knife Stephen Vogt has been quietly tearing the cover off the ball the past few weeks, making him the most recent addition to our waiver wire sleepers list. We'll get into the stats shortly, but here's the most important thing to […]

Brandon McCarthy (NYY, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Continue Scouting in Shallower Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon McCarthy is now officially on the Yankees, and made his first start for them yesterday. With his 4.80 ERA on the MLB season, I can see why many fantasy owners don't see much to get excited about. I mean, he's heading to […]

Matt Joyce (OF, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: To me, Matt Joyce is one of those guys who is always towards the top of the free agents list in average-sized mixed leagues. Maybe he gets picked up as a result of an injury, but he isn't likely to maintain control of a […]

Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: Tuesday night was a great indication of how important Marcell Ozuna’s breakout season has been to the Florida Marlins. Ozuna belted a two-run homer off Addison Reed in the top of the ninth inning to help bring home a 2-1 Marlins victory. He has now produced a stat line […]

Fantasy Baseball Buy and Sell: Starting Pitchers for Week 15

We’ve made it to July and it’s time to take a realistic look at your fantasy roster. If your team resides close to the bottom of the pack it’s time for you to make some serious moves. Even if your team is in last place you still have a chance to manipulate your roster and […]

Third Base (3B) & First Base (1B) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

There really aren't any new sleepers on this week's list of waiver wire pickups and the corner infield spots, but there are several familiar faces that I have mentioned throughout the year that continue to make a case to be owned in a variety of fantasy formats. Granted, we are getting to the point in […]

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 15 (Part 2)

How about that Germany-Brazil game?  Talk about a beatdown.  In terms of surprising defeats in international sports history, it would rank second behind Rocky knocking out Drago in the fifteenth round.  Watching the fans’ reactions in Brazil eerily reminded me of the Soviet Politburo accepting the inevitable after Rocky’s improbable victory over the 6'5'', 261-pound […]

Justin Ruggiano (OF, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues  ANALYSIS: Justin Ruggiano has been on fire as of late, since June 25th through July 7th, Ruggiano is hitting .463 (19/41) with 6 doubles,  2 HR and 9 RBI.  This streak has raised his season average to .295.  Ruggiano has showed his power before when he was with the Marlins, […]

Dillon Gee (SP, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Mets are welcoming Dillon Gee back to the rotation on tonight (July 9th) and if he can pick up where he left off before his disabled list stint fantasy owners must get him while they can. Gee owns a 3-1 record while maintaining a 2.73 ERA and a […]

Jake McGee (RP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Add in Most Leagues ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Ray's bullpen has been manned by a number of relievers, but none have been as successful as Jake McGee. McGee seems to have been the closer in waiting for a couple of seasons, and now he's getting more of an opportunity, with 3 saves in […]

Catcher (C) Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

We're now in the thick of week 15, and where do you stand in your league? Do you feel as though nobody's giving you a shot at winning anymore? Maybe a bit forgotten about? Well these sleeper catchers have felt the same way during their careers, and you can both continue to play with a chip […]

Dayan Viciedo (OF, CWS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues / All Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Dayan Viciedo is on another one of his hot streaks and HR binges, making his way back onto our fantasy baseball waiver wire sleepers list. After a long cold stretch, Viciedo has gotten white hot recently. Over the past 7 days, he is hitting to the tune of a […]

Adam LaRoche (1B, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Since 2008, Adam LaRoche has 25 or more homers in every year except 2011 - and he was hurt that year. So what is LaRoche doing being owned in only 66 % of Yahoo-leagues? That is just craziness, and he could even be labeled right now as […]

Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues / Deeper Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: One of the more highly-regarded prospects in all of baseball just a few years back, the Rays have trusted Jake Odorizzi unconditionally since acquiring him from the Royals for James Shields. The young righty got off to a questionable start in 2014, allowing three […]

Jose Quintana (CWS, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team or Deeper Leagues / Continue Scouting in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: I loved Jose Quintana as one  of my pre-season sleepers, somewhat based on the fact that the Sox offered him an extension. I figured their development people must have seen something and thus he'd be a good investment. Unfortunately, he […]

Starting Pitchers Returning from the DL to Target on the Waiver Wire

Starting Pitchers Returning from the DL in Week 15 When I took a look at the pitchers available in most leagues, I noticed three sleeper pitchers that are set to return from the disabled list this week. There are different levels of the leagues in which they should be owned, but all three sleepers are worth […]

Fantasy Baseball Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 15

Fantasy Baseball Deep League Waiver Wire Pickups This week we focus on the wildly inconsistent. These players have loads of potential, but cannot put it all together for one reason or another. Some of these players may be turning the corner and can be considered sleepers for the next month or even the second half, […]

Austin Jackson (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting / Stash in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Jackson has had a disappointing first half in 2014, hitting just .244 with only 3 HR thus far. Coming off two seasons in which he hit .300 and .272, many fantasy owners had him on their list of pre-season sleepers, and expected him to produce nicely […]

DJ LeMahieu (2B / 3B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in NL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: DJ LeMahieu is a speedy middle infielder / corner infielder who plays for the Colorado Rockies. LeMahieu hasn't gotten all that much attention in fantasy leagues so far, and that's probably for good reason. He really hasn't been a plus producer so far this year. However […]

Adam Lind (1B / DH, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only / Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Edwin Encarnacion is headed to the DL with his strained quadriceps, and his estimated two-to-four week absence may be key to any playoff hopes that the Jays have. Adam Lind, Munenori Kawasaki and Juan Francisco will all be important in filling the holes left by both Brett […]
