Rest-of-Season Starting Pitcher Rankings (Midseason Update)

The Midsummer Classic has come and gone, leaving us without baseball for what seems like the longest week of the calendar year. Before the second half of the 2019 MLB season gets underway, the RotoBaller staff has updated our fantasy baseball rankings for the remainder of the year. RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 15 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to the All-Star Break edition of Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Sunday, July 7 (unless otherwise noted). For the break, this week's risers and fallers were selected somewhat more scientifically than usual. Everyone who had 100 plate appearances in both 2018 and 2019 had the number of plate […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 15)

The MLB All-Star Break is here and rosters are frozen but things could get interesting once play resumes later this week. When that happens, there will be less than three weeks to go before the trade deadline. Some prospects will be heading to new teams and new opportunities while others will simply rise up to […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 15

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 First-Half Underachievers (Hitters)

As the first half wraps up and we are left pondering who will flip the switch in the second half, it's only rational that we look at the players who have underachieved most. We've already seen examples of players who have started to turn their luck around (Danny Jansen anyone?), so there is definitely credence […]

The Cut List (Week 15) - Time to Let Go?

The All-Star Break will be here after today's games. For players who won't participate in the game on Tuesday, it's a chance to take a break from the grind for several days. And several players could use one, like perhaps the cut suggestions below. Despite the days off, there's nothing really about the break that […]

Luke Jackson Earns 14th Save of The Season Sunday

Atlanta Braves closer Luke Jackson notched his 14th save of the season during a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday, but it did not come easy.

Nick Markakis Batting .315 Over Last 30 Games

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis was 3-for-4 with an RBI during a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

Josh Donaldson Launches 18th Home Run On Sunday

Dansby Swanson Sits Against Marlins

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (quad) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. The Braves are likely going to give Swanson a few days off to rest his quad.

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/5/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are 26 starting pitchers today and it looks like, give or take a few, there could be about four – Jacob de Grom, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and Clayton Kershaw – that look like good bets to suppress the offense from the other side. Otherwise, it looks there should be opportunities for the hitters […]

Freddie Freeman On Pace For Career-Best Year

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has been an elite fantasy contributor for several years now, but this season, he may have taken his game to the next level. His outstanding first half of 2019 can be credited to a mix of increased power and increased opportunities for RBI with Ronald Acuna leading off for […]

Bryse Wilson Sent Back To Triple-A

On Thursday, the Atlanta Braves sent pitcher Bryse Wilson back to Triple-A Gwinnett and called up fellow pitcher Grant Dayton. While the move may seem surprising on the surface, following Wilson's strong outing against the Phillies on Wednesday, it certainly makes sense personnel-wise for the team's current situation. With Anthony Swarzak (shoulder) on the Injured […]

Ronald Acuna Playing At Elite Level

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna went on a complete tear in June and is looking every bit the part of a deserving first rounder come 2020 draft season. Acuna hit .331 in June with nine home runs, 28 runs, 21 RBI and six stolen bases. Over the season, he has a slash line of .292/.373/.506 […]

Tyler Flowers Takes Turn At Catcher

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers is the team's eighth hitter Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The rest of Atlanta's lineup is their standard arrangement. They are facing Phillies starter Nick Pivetta, who's been better since returning from a demotion on May 28, but still has just a 4.30 ERA, 32-10 K-BB ratio, and nine home […]
