Closers and Saves Report - Week 22 Waiver Wire

With some leagues already starting the playoffs and others about to, saves and holds are getting more and more critical to fantasy success each week.

Recent Velocity Decliners - Arms To Abandon

We are about to turn the calendar to September, which means that a lot of the league's starting pitchers have gone through a five-month slog putting a ton of work on their throwing arms. This was possibly even a tougher challenge in 2021 after the shortened 2020 season severely reduced the requested workloads that these […]

Freddie Freeman Slashing .329/.389/.537 In August

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman got off to a slow start to the 2021 season. Through the first two months of the year, he slashed just .235/.364/.464. However, since the start of June, he has been one of the best hitters in the majors. He posted an OPS of .868 in June, then went […]

Top 20 Fantasy Baseball Prospects for Week 22

With September just around the corner, we’re quickly running out of time for minor league prospects to make impacts on the 2021 redraft season.

We've got a loaded Wednesday slate with plenty of high-end pitching options to choose from. FanDuel has a whopping FIVE pitchers priced over $10,000 with two more just under the $10K threshold as it looks to be a low-scoring night in MLB.

Ozzie Albies Goes 2-For-5 In Tuesday's Loss

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 2-for-5 with a run scored in the team's 5-4 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Albies was red hot earlier this month, but has cooled off over the last 10 days or so. He hit five home runs over a six-game stretch from August 8 to […]

Austin Riley Has Three-Hit Game

He is batting .354 […]

Fellow catcher William Contreras was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. d'Arnaud landed on the paternity list on Saturday and wound up missing three games. The 32-year-old missed about three months due to a torn thumb ligament before finally returning […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/23/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, Rotoballers! Unlike most of the teams in MLB today, we don't take any days off in DFS land. We are looking at a paltry six-game slate to start the final week of August, but that's okay. I tend to do better on smaller slates compared to the big, 14-game Friday night bonanzas. You […]
