First Basemen Set to Bust in 2021

When it comes to fantasy baseball strategy, there's typically one thought motivating any owners' desire to draft a first baseman or select one off the waiver wire: to be a run producer. Even if they're not going to help much in the batting average or steals category, all can be forgiven if they're hitting home […]

Exploiting Early Strength of Schedule for Starting Pitchers

It's important to have a strong starting rotation for your fantasy teams. If you rely on too many high-upside arms with wide ranges of outcomes, you could be struggling to keep up in pitching categories the rest of the season, especially ERA and WHIP. High-volume pitchers with elite strikeout rates are hard to find in the […]

Sneaky Starters - Deceptive Pitchers Who Could Be Draft Steals

Earlier this week, I was reading Michael Ajeto's article on PitcherList about Brady Singer. In the article, Michael touted Singer's deception and mentioned a sign of that being Singer's Zone Swing Rate (Z-Swing%) minus his Chase Rate (O-Swing%). The premise of the concept was simple but one that stood out to me immediately. Z-Swing% measures […]

Ryan Blaney comes in from the 14th position and contending is likely

There is a bit of all or nothing with Blaney and when he is on, he is on. What does that mean? Blaney has wound up second in the Daytona 500 twice (2017 and 2020). There have been several crashes and breakdowns but when the driver is able to negotiate the field, he winds up […]

Daniel Suarez will start 15th but finishing the race is questionable.

Suarez parlayed a decent run in the duels and a solid qualifying time into the 15th starting position at this year's Daytona 500. On the other hand, Suarez has raced seven times at the 2.5-mile track and six times the man from Monterrey has crashed. The only finish was the 2017 Coke Cola 400. Suarez […]
