BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Hefner is only 15% owned in Yahoo! leagues, and that's got to be because he plays for the Mets. With a name like Hefner you'd think he'd get a little more attention. If not the name, maybe his past 6 starts will catch your eye: 37 IP, 29:8 […]
Full Story »Josh Reddick (OF, OAK)
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Those of you who persevered through the bad times are finally, at long last, being rewarded with some quality production from Reddick. Those of you who dropped him, well, go pick him up, right now! Reddick is 5-for-12 over his past 3 games with 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, […]
Full Story »Jeremy Hellickson (SP, TB)
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Hellickson is one of the saber community's perennial overrated players because of his seemingly never ending BABIP luck. Well everyone should take note of Hellickson's past two starts: 13 IP, 15:3 K:BB ratio, 2 ER, 2 Ws. He has been nasty, and he is striking out a ton […]
Full Story »Fantasy Baseball Daily League Analysis (July 7, 2013)
We have a very tough slate of games this Sunday with a bunch of stud pitchers going and a bunch of marginal starters with great splits in their favor. There also isn't a lot of BvP data to go on so I had to dig DEEP to discover some advantageous hitting match ups. Turns out there are a lot of bellow […]

Full Story »Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis July 5: Will The Real Matt Kemp Please Stand Up?
Will the Real Matt Kemp please stand up? Y’all act like you've never seen a hurt person before! For owners of Matt Kemp, this season has been a disappointment, to say the very least. A sure-fire first round pick or a $30-plus investment in auction leagues, Kemp has largely underwhelmed through the first half. His lack of production […]
Full Story »Kyle Lohse (SP, MIL)
Lohse had a great outing Wednesday night, going 8 IP with 7 Ks while picking up the W and allowing just 1 ER and 5 baserunners. He's turned his season around and with his exceptional control he now has a 3.43 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He's far from a strikeout machine, but his ratios make […]
Full Story »Chris Carter (1B, OF, HOU)
Carter had a monster game Wednesday night, going 2-for-4 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs. The inconsistent slugger has 17 HRs and 44 RBIs on the year, but he's towing along a .231 BA with those nice power numbers. He's a decent deep league option, but you have to be patient with him and wait […]
Full Story »Cody Ross (OF, ARI)
Ross has heated up with 2 HR and 4 RBIs over his last 3 games. He had 22 HR and 81 RBIs last year in just 476 ABs, so we know he's capable of hitting for solid power. Ross plays his games in a great hitters park and sees bad pitchers in his division for […]
Full Story »Ricky Nolasco (SP, MIA)
Looks like Nolasco has been motivated by the swirling trade rumors surrounding him. He went 7 IP Wednesday night with 7 Ks while allowing just 2 ER on 6 baserunners. Nolasco is a very inconsistent pitcher but he does have a somewhat decent 3.85 ERA and 1.22 WHIP on the year. His 90:26 K:BB ratio […]
Full Story »Randall Delgado (SP, ARI)
Delgado has been very solid since getting the call to be Arizona's 5th starter, and his high-upside profile should have you paying attention now. He hasn't allowed more than 3 ER in 5 starts, and has a 25:4 K:BB ratio in 27 IP over that span. He had his strongest outing yet on Wednesday going […]

I'm not gonna lie: today might just be my favorite day of the year. We have BBQs, hot-dog-eating contests, and over twelve hours of baseball games to watch! First pitch is an early one at 11:00 AM EDT, so get them lineups in ASAP! As always, check lineups and weather before first pitch! SP: Julio Teheran ($7500) Teheran comes into today's game vs the […]
Full Story »Scott Feldman (SP, BAL)
Feldman has slowed down a lot since his hot start, but he had a great debut on Wednesday night for the Orioles. He went 6 IP with a 6:0 K:BB ratio, just 6 hits and 2 ER allowed and the W. He regressed bigtime in June after a ridiculous May, but he's still a nice […]
Full Story »Daily Fantasy Baseball Analysis July 3: Homer with No-Hits
No Hits, Just Homer Reds' starter Homer Bailey tossed the 2013 season’s first no-hitter on Tuesday. It was Bailey who tossed the seventh and final no-hitter of the 2012 season, during which it seemed every week we were on no-hitter alert. Bailey was perfect until a leadoff walk to Gregor Blanco in the seventh inning; Blanco […]
Full Story »Nick Franklin (2B, SS, SEA)
Franklin has a nice stat line in just 117 ABs: .299-4-15-13-5, which would put him on pace for a 20-20 season with nice production and a great BA. He's been shadily consistent and solid and deserves to be owned in much more than 40% of leagues.
