BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jon Berti came into the 2020 season as a cheap fantasy source of stolen bases and he's lived up to that reputation so far with eight steals (tied for second in the MLB). Berti did start the season as the Marlins no.2 hitting, making […]

Ryan Mountcastle (SS/OF, BAL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles eventually called up Ryan Mountcastle after Chris Davis and his .357 OPS hit the IL.

Justin Upton Has Fallen Off The Fantasy Radar

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton continues to struggle mightily heading into Friday night's action against the Mariners.
