Waiver Wire Watch List - Week 10 Free Agents

It’s hard to believe we’re through two full calendar months of the season, but here we are. The contenders have begun to separate themselves from the pretenders in both real life and fantasy, but with two thirds of the season left to play there’s still time to make up ground. This week’s theme is certainly […]

The Cut List (Week 10) Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 10 of the Cut List. My suggestions from last week were looking good until Eduardo Escobar hit three home runs between Thursday and Friday. That’ll happen occasionally, but I think my suggestions have been sound throughout the year. This week, I take a look at Kevin Pillar, Adam Duvall, Gregory Polanco, and […]

Outfield is typically one of the deepest list of impact prospects, but list of the top guys to own in redraft leagues took some hits to […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 10

We were spoiled in Week 9 with a packed Memorial Day slate of games last Monday. That is not the case this week as we only have eight teams playing on Monday (NYY/DET doubleheader). That significantly reduces the amount of two-start pitchers we have for Week 10. However, that doesn’t mean we have zero options […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 10

One man's trash is another man's treasure. This is what I tell myself when I'm bidding $6 for Ryan Braun in an Ottoneu league where I need OF help or adding Zack Godley to a pitching staff that has underperformed. These players aren't without warts and could never turn back to top form this season, […]

Derek Dietrich has Second-Straight Three-Hit Performance on Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Derek Dietrich was the lone bright spot on offense in the Marlins loss Friday with his second-straight three-hit performance. Dietrich finished 3-for-4 against the Diamondbacks with a double while scoring the team's only run of the night. Friday's performance continued the hot streak Dietrich has seen over the last month, where he […]

Brett Graves Throws Three Shutout Innings in Win Friday

Continuing to rehab from a left oblique strain, Miami Marlins pitcher Brett Graves threw three shutout innings to earn the win on Friday with Double-A Jacksonville. Graves allowed only three hits and one walk while striking out three in his fourth appearance of the season. Making three starts with Jacksonville in addition to his relief […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/1/18): 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. […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/1/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

As we welcome the month of June, hopefully much of the Spring showers are behind us. The rain - and rainouts - have gotten a bit out of hand. Does it sound like I got burned by the Yankees - Orioles rainout? Because I most certainly did. Anywho, beautiful 15 game slate on deck for […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report Week 10

The Mariners and Rays lit up the stove last week with the first major trade of the season, with the Rays sending Alex Colome and Denard Span to the Mariners. Colome had finally started to figure things out as the Rays closer, but he immediately moved into a setup role behind Mariners star closer Edwin […]

Week 10 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 […]

Brad Ziegler Removed from Closer Role

Before Thursday night's game, Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly confirmed that relief pitcher Brad Ziegler will no longer be the closer going forward, according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com. Kyle Barraclough seems to be the best candidate to replace Ziegler, having posted a 1.48 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 9.99 K/9 over 24 1/3 innings this […]

Kyle Barraclough Could Take Over as Miami's Closer

In a post-game interview on Wednesday night, Marlins manager Don Mattingly suggested that reliever Kyle Barraclough could get a chance at save opportunities in lieu of struggling closer Brad Ziegler going forward. Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports that Mattingly mentioned Barraclough as the one most likely to take over as closer, with Drew Steckenrider and […]

Brad Ziegler Blows Save Against Padres, Falls to 0-5

Miami Marlins closer Brad Ziegler blew his first save of the season on Wednesday night, as the Padres got the walk-off 3-2 win over the Marlins. Ziegler recorded only one out in the appearance, allowing two runs — one earned — on two hits and two walks. It's yet another bad outing for Ziegler, who […]

Jose Ureña Throws Team-Best Fifth Quality Start

Miami Marlins starter Jose Ureña recorded his fifth quality start of the season on Wednesday, exiting the game after six innings of work while in line to earn his first win of the season. Ureña allowed one run on a season-low three hits and two walks while striking out six, his fifth start of the […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/31/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a nine-game slate on tap for this Thursday, where we will likely see Clayton Kershaw back. He has been on the DL for nearly a month and will make his return against the Phillies. The initial worry is that he won't be going deep into games and is, therefore, not worth his salary. In […]

Miguel Rojas Leading Off Again On Wednesday

Miami Marlins third baseman Miguel Rojas is again leading off on Wednesday against Clayton Richard and the Padres. After spending most of his recent games hitting out of the bottom third of the lineup, Rojas went 2-for-4 after being moved to leadoff on Monday and had a day off on Tuesday. The 29-year-old only carries […]
