Trading Up - Paul Goldschmidt

Since 2013, Paul Goldschmidt has helped fantasy baseball owners win leagues in every format. This season I’ve been seeing posts for a month declaring Goldschmidt as “old-s**t.” It’s a steep fall. At the start of the season, Goldschmidt was a no-doubt first-round pick. Owners could take him number 3, and someone might grumble about Nolan […]

Updated Catcher Rankings (May) - 2018 Fantasy Baseball

We are a quarter of the way through the regular season for Major League Baseball, so our staff at RotoBaller has updated our rest-of-season fantasy baseball rankings. We are taking a look at catchers in this article. There is a clear divide at this position, which guys who can contribute a lot in the first […]

You know what it is--it's my updated starts/sits column for Week 10! Your friendly neighborhood @Roto_Dubs is back again this year with his weekly starting pitcher matchups. This is our fifth year now writing this weekly column, helping fantasy baseball managers pick the best pitchers weekly. Below are the projected starting pitching matchups for Week 10, which […]

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 […]

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 […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It’s the first Saturday in June and FanDuel brings us an eight game featured slate tonight. This slate has a pair of elite pitchers in tough matchups, some good pitchers in cake matchups, and another potential Coors Field slugfest. Vegas projects a low scoring slate, as the 10.5 O/U in the Coors Field game is […]

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, […]

Clayton Richard (SP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS:  San Diego Padres starting pitcher Clayton Richard may have a 4.74 ERA, but he has allowed only two earned runs in three of his last four starts. His latest outing was against a team Richard will face in Week 10, the Marlins. He […]

Wil Myers Out Until July

Updating a previous report, MLB.com's AJ Cassavell believes San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) is slated for an early-July return. Myers was cleared for baseball activities this week and progressed to dry swings on Thursday. Since he had been completely shut down, he's likely a couple weeks away from a rehab assignment. The timeline […]

Walker Lockett Debuting Friday Against Reds

The San Diego Padres will call up starter Walker Lockett from Triple-A El Paso to make his major league debut Friday. He'll get the ball at home against the Cincinnati Reds. Lockett, 24, has been in the Padres system since 2012. If he pitches well on Friday, Lockett will have an opportunity to make at […]

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 […]

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 […]

Christian Villanueva Smacks 15th Home Run

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva crushed his 15th home run in Thursday's victory against the Miami Marlins. Villanueva popped a two-run dinger in the first inning en route to a 2-for-5 night with two runs and two RBI. He's now second behind Bryce Harper for the National League lead in home runs. Villanueva's […]

Eric Hosmer Riding Hot Streak

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer collected three hits and three RBI in Thursday's victory against the Miami Marlins. Hosmer is now batting .600 in his last four games (9-for-15) and his .282 average is the highest since May 7. Hosmer has been steady for the Padres and now has 24 RBI to go […]

Jordan Lyles Coasts Against Marlins

San Diego Padres starter Jordan Lyles went seven strong innings in a win Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Lyles gave up two early runs but cruised the rest of the way, allowing six hits and a walk while fanning seven. Thursday was a bounce-back performance after two mediocre starts for Lyles, and he now holds […]

Wil Myers, Austin Hedges Making Progress

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) and catcher Austin Hedges (elbow) are making progress on their road to health. Myers, out since April 29 with an oblique strain, took dry swings on Thursday. He was cleared for baseball activities on Tuesday and is likely a couple weeks away from returning. Hedges has been dealing […]

Clayton Richard Logs Another Quality Start

San Diego Padres starter Clayton Richard fired seven solid innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. His only hiccup was a two-run home run to second baseman Starlin Castro in the fourth inning. Richard cruised through the evening allowing four hits and a walk while recording five strikeouts. Richard now holds a 4.74 […]

Franmil Reyes Blasts Third Homer In Three Games

San Diego Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes hit his third home run in as many games Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Reyes launched an opposite-field solo shot off the right field foul pole in the fourth inning and also drew a walk to start the ninth-inning comeback rally. After bombing 14 long balls in 36 games […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 9)

Juan Soto is running the major leagues. Is that an overstatement? Absolutely. Will that be an overstatement in three years? Probably still yes but there's a shot the answer is no. That's what makes Soto so intriguing to watch. In addition to Soto continuing his high-level play early in his career, we are seeing a […]

Relief Pitcher Prospect Rankings (May) - 2018 Impact Rookies

The nature of relief pitchers is such that it is nearly impossible to predict with any certainty who will produce at the major league level. Often times, especially in keeper and dynasty leagues, stashing relief pitching prospects is simply not worth the trouble because they rarely contribute in fantasy in the beginning of their career. […]

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 […]
