The All-Star break affords us a chance to press pause and take stock of our strengths, weaknesses, and potential avenues to success. Some years, I take a wide stance with this column and include an aggressive number of players who are rostered in a healthy swath of leagues, but we're going to zoom in a […]

The first half of the fantasy season is in the books. Over the opening months, managers have seen many high-end prospects earn the call and make a massive impact. While we have not seen the performances we saw from James Wood, Junior Caminero, and Nick Kurtz last season, several prospects have begun to show flashes. In […]

There are always fantasy baseball busts every season. These players are often drafted very high and don't live up to their high average draft position. Those who select these busts early in drafts are then put in a really hard place. They are likely too good to drop, but it's almost impossible to trade them […]

The All-Star break is here, bringing us to the unofficial halfway point of the season. In reality, teams have completed around 60% of their games, and the second half of the fantasy baseball season is significantly shorter, and the time to make meaningful additions to your teams, whether via trades or the waiver wire, is […]

During the first half of the season, fantasy managers saw many closers gradually emerge and solidify themselves as must-start players like Jacob Latz and Bryan Baker. Below, we will look at six relief pitchers whose value as fantasy options has surged over the past week and determine whether managers should pick them up. So, should […]

We've finally reached the All-Star break. For some teams, it's much needed. Teams like the Padres may be thankful that they can take a week to relax and recalibrate after a nasty slide. Others, like the Mets, may simply be thankful to not have ot play games for a while. Others are seeing their seasons […]

San Diego Padres right-handed closer Mason Miller has been as dominant as any reliever we've ever seen in the first half of 2026, which begs the question: Should fantasy managers be selling high? In his 38 appearances (39 2/3 innings) in the first half of his first full season with the Friars, Miller has gone […]

Last week, we dove into players like Robbie Ray, Sonny Gray, and Manny Machado. This week's edition will look at five more sell-high candidates. These five players are […]

It's that time again, friends. Time to re-evaluate the closer landscape in fantasy baseball, that is. Every month, I update the current top-ten list of closers and speculate as to how that list may change by the season's end. With many teams lacking an established closer entirely, we are seeing plenty of "bullpen-by-committee" approaches, making […]

Saves are an important component for many fantasy baseball leagues. Closers are one of the most volatile positions in fantasy baseball and one of the highest turnover positions in MLB. Each year, closers drop like flies, and many MLB teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Relief pitchers are becoming increasingly important […]

Borthwick, who came into this year's draft as the 43rd-ranked prospect by MLB.com, is the first high-school right-hander taken in the first round. The 18-year-old has […]

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! I've got some work to do; in my last article, I wasn't able to nail at least one, and that always hurts. So hopefully I can redeem myself and get you guys a couple of bangers. This is the last day before the All-Star break, so let's cap the first half of... […]

We have a 12-game slate tonight on both slates, and it is tremendous. We have no Sutter Health Park, no Coors Field, and no weather advantages tonight. This slate is strictly matchup-based, and these are the slates where the numbers don't lie. Let's get after it. If you have not had a chance to check... […]

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is back at the hot corner and is batting cleanup for the Friars in Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Merrill Kelly, per MLB.com. Machado didn't play in Wednesday night's 10-4 victory over the Snakes as a precaution after fouling a ball off his […]

Across 108 1/3 innings (19 starts) in 2026, San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King has recorded a 6-7 record with a 3.41 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 92 strikeouts. On the surface, King's numbers appear to be right in line with the quality level that he has established in recent seasons. However, the veteran right-hander's […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have a loaded slate of games on this wonderful Thursday. We usually only have eight to nine games on Thursday, but we got loaded up right before the All-Star break with 13! Zach nailed a +800 bet on A.J. Ewing yesterday, which was nuts! Hopefully, we can replicate something similar or... […]

It might be 6:00 AM, but I am still flying high after watching my favorite Pittsburgh Pirate, Ryan O'Hearn, smack three home runs yesterday and drive in 10 runs in front of the home crowd in Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, and my favorite strikeout prop of the day was Ian Seymour, who whiffed 12 Yankees in […]
