Strikeout Rate Risers and Fallers for Week 9

Due to a combination of harder throwers and hitters focusing on hitting for power, strikeouts are at an all-time high in baseball. For pitchers, this is an ideal trend. The ability to generate swings and misses is the most important skill to possess, as it's the only true way to control what happens after the […]

Daniel Robertson (2B/3B/SS, TB) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay infielder Daniel Robertson has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners so far in 2018. The multi-position 24-year old is batting .262/.413/.443 to go with an impressive  .380 wOBA and 144 wRC+ this season. The most impressive stat may be […]


Steven Matz (SP, NYM) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz has always had a high ceiling.

However, Matz still possesses ace upside that he still shows flashes of from […]


Franchy Cordero (OF, SD) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: San Diego outfielder Franchy Cordero got off to a hot start in 2018, carrying a .364 wOBA, .299 ISO, and 136 wRC+ through April. He has cooled off in the month of May, but still holds a respectable .326 wOBA for the season […]


Making Moves - Fantasy Baseball Trade Advice for Week 8

Trading is the most creative and fun way to improve your fantasy baseball roster, but also the hardest. You have to be able to value your own players objectively while accurately gauging how your fellow league owners value their own players. It is a battle of strategy, risk, and chance that can pay off in […]


Cano Fallout - How His Suspension Impacts the Mariners' Lineup

Seattle Mariners' All-Star second baseman Robinson Cano was suspended for 80 games on Tuesday for violating MLB's drug prevention and treatment program. He was charged with using Furosemide, a diuretic sometimes used as a masking agent for performance enhancing drugs. Cano stated he would accept the suspension, which begins immediately. "Recently I learned that I tested […]


Making Moves - Fantasy Baseball Trade Advice for Week 6

We are now over a week into May of the 2018 fantasy baseball season. Now is the time that owners need to take a hard look at their roster to decide what areas they need to improve. The waiver wire has likely been picked clean of the obvious must-add players and the best option now […]


Preseason Sleepers Yet to Awaken - Hitters

If you are going to win a championship in your fantasy baseball league, you typically need to hit on at least a couple of sleeper selections during your draft. Anyone who took a shot on Ozzie Albies, Gerrit Cole, or Patrick Corbin have an enormous advantage on the rest of their league due to the […]


Nick Pivetta (SP, PHI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Phillies starter Nick Pivetta had a rough first attempt at the major league level in 2017. The young right-hander ended the year with a 6.02 ERA, 4.87 FIP, and an undesirable 3.49 BB/9. It is very difficult to survive at this level […]


Aaron Hicks (OF, NYY) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Yankees' outfielder Aaron Hicks is coming off a breakout 2017 campaign in which he batted .266/.372/.475 with 15 home runs, 10 stolen bases and 54 runs scored in just 301 at-bats.
