Hitter Streamers (Week 11) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 11, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Points Leagues (H2H) - Waiver Wire Adds and Streamers

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 11

Monday sets the tone for the two-start streaming process. When you only have eight games, 16 teams, playing in the first day of the week, it limits the amount of pitchers available in the streaming pool. Thankfully, the quality is greater than the quantity, as you’ll see. We have such strong options that are probably […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 11

It finally feels like summer! As the weather heats up, so do many bats that have lain dormant for the first quarter of the season. Monthly splits are very real for certain players, so you may consider buying into some recent hot streaks, fluky as they may seem. Scouting players who may be undervalued and […]

Jon Jay Will Lead Off for D-Backs on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jon Jay will lead off and play right field in his D-backs debut on Friday. He was acquired from the Royals in a trade earlier this week. Jay should see daily starts in Arizona due to all the injuries in the D-backs outfield. He's a solid contact hitter with some above-average speed. […]

This is a going to be a fun Friday night of DFS action. It's an ace party! We've got several teams number one guy on the bump tonight and a handful of other quality pitchers to choose from. Fourteen games on the Main slate, with just the Pirates at Cubs taking place this afternoon. Even […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/18): MLB DFS Lineups

With the Cubs continuing to host early games on Friday, the PIT/CHC game is off the board for our DraftKings contest. However, we still have a loaded 14-game slate, with a plethora of pitchers and high-powered lineups to choose from. Five games have an over/under of at least nine total runs, including the ARI/COL game […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Watch List

Finding players is getting tougher and tougher as the weeks roll by, but hopefully you've been following along and building your watch list into a black book of sorts. Need help in the power department? Have a spot to fill due to injury? Bring up your watch list and don't miss a beat. Highlighted by […]

Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 11

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 11. One-inning middle relievers are the constant sources for holds and specialists can manage to secure a hold even with one out. However, while specialists can get many […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Streaming Wars: Waiver Wire Targets for June 8

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

It's that magical time of the season where I start to feel old because we've moved into the "double-digit weeks" when writing out the title. You should have a good idea about where your team stands against the competition, though an unheralded stat in roto leagues with maximums is how many innings you have left […]

2018 Prospects: Top 30 Impact Rookies for Fantasy Leagues (Week 10)

Hello everyone, and welcome to my weekly Top-30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies! In this series, I will be going over the top prospects in baseball and discussing which ones figure to have an impact for the rest of this fantasy baseball season. This year’s draft was an interesting one. There was a switch-pitching catcher […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/18): MLB DFS Lineups

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. […]

Clay Buchholz Supplies Another Quality Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Clay Buchholz was solid Wednesday, giving up two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings. He did not factor in the decision. Buchholz has been excellent since debuting with the Diamondbacks, posting a 1-1 record with a 1.88 ERA. In fact, this was the first […]

Paul Goldschmidt Hits Three Doubles Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with three doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. Goldschmidt has been on a tear and now has seven hits (including four doubles) in his last nine at-bats. His recent performance has brought his average up to .233, the highest it's […]

Brad Boxberger Blows Save In Loss To Giants

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger blew his second save of the season on Wednesday, issuing a walk and allowing the game-tying, two-run home run in the eventual loss to the Giants. This was the third day in a row that Boxberger had pitched and the first time since 2015 that he's done this, so fatigue […]

Jon Jay Traded To Diamondbacks

Former Kansas City Royals outfielder Jon Jay has been traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for minor league pitchers Gabe Speier and Elvis Luciano. Jay provides the Diamondbacks with flexibility and consistency, something they haven't received from their outfielders (with the exception of A.J. Pollock) this season. Jay won't provide much power or speed, but he […]

Welcome to Contact Rate Risers and Fallers! Our premium tools allow us to get out ahead of trends in player performance, including contact rate. Every Wednesday, we'll be looking at some players that have seen an increase in contact rate and some that have seen it decline. Contact rate can foretell a player's batting average […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Major League Baseball decided to do a pretty imbalanced Wednesday split of day game and night games. As such, the Early Only slate is pretty weak, and the Main looks attractive (well, minus the dropoff of tonight as compared to last night - more on that later). As such, this article will concentrate on the […]

Streaming Wars - Waiver Wire Targets For June 6

Shelby Miller Builds To 79 Pitches In Second Rehab Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Shelby Miller (elbow) made a second rehab start on Monday, going 4 2/3 innings while giving up one run and four hits and four walks. It's a step in the right direction for Miller, who is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. The Diamondbacks can take their time with Miller's […]

A.J. Pollock Still Requires Cast On Thumb

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock (thumb) still requires the protective cast on his injured left thumb after an MRI revealed that his fracture has not properly healed. Of course, this means that Pollock cannot resume baseball activities. Until he sheds the cast, there will be no concrete timetable for Pollock's return from the DL.

Ketel Marte Stays Hot With RBI Double

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte continued his hot streak on Monday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI double in the Diamondbacks loss to the Giants. Marte now has eight RBI and eight extra-base hits in his last seven games. His contribution with the bat helped the Diamondbacks win five of six games over the weekend […]

Zack Godley Shelled By Giants

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zack Godley (5-5) was crushed by the Giants Monday, giving up seven runs on five hits and two walks over 3 1/3 innings. Godley had managed three scoreless innings before imploding in the fourth, giving up two solo home runs, followed by a bases-loaded double by Alan Hansen. Fernando Salas proceeded to […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 10

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Launch Angle (Week 10)

Besides being a fancy analytics term that baseball broadcasters can spit out on a Sunday afternoon, launch angle plays a big part in determining how other advanced metrics play out, such as HR/FB, FB/LD, and Hard%. Launch angle doesn't dictate how good a player is hitting, but is meant to be more descriptive of the […]
