Two-Start Pitcher Streamers (Week 8): Head-to-Head Leagues
As a new week is upon us, it's time to get rid of that bench bat or middle reliever you have hanging around. Instead, maximize your roster slots with some pitchers who have two starts this week and are probably still available in your league. Here are the top two-start pitchers to stream for Week […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! As a reminder, in this piece we're looking for the top hitters to add and stream in Week 8 of the fantasy baseball season.

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 8
Big market, big name, big deal. Sometimes we need to let go of the past and take a hard look at some players who simply aren't living up to their reputations. Likewise, some players who fall under the "failed prospect" label could wind up providing better value than that big free agent signing you're holding […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 7
Another week gone by, and another few bullpens shaken up. It seems to be the theme of the season, at least early on: managers are not afraid to make changes in the ninth inning and leashes for closers are getting shorter and shorter. It has resulted in the fantasy-abhorred closer-by-committee thing happening a few more […]
Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire & Pickups for Week Seven
While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire for Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season. The more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that could […]
Week 7 Waiver Wire: Catchers
It feels like this season's moving in slow motion, stat-wise. Things have improved a bit since Gary Sanchez returned to give his fantasy owners SOME hope. Still, looking at the numbers for backstops can feel like an exercise in tedium. There's almost no real movement, save for very tiny increments. Austin Hedges hit another homer... […]
Digging Deeper: Week 7 AL Waiver Wire Targets
Welcome back to Digging Deeper! I'll be taking a look at some deeper AL waiver wire options for Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season.

Alex Wood - Fantasy Ace or Extraordinary April?
A long time ago (2014), in a galaxy far far away (Atlanta), then 23-year-old Alex Wood demonstrated ace upside by striking out tons of hitters, and generating ground balls at an above-average pace while being bounced back-and-forth from the rotation to the bullpen. His stats that year in his starts only (156.1 Innings): 2.59 ERA, 1.09 […]
Week 7 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers
Wow, we’re already past the middle of May. Time flies when you’re…confused. We're still bumbling through some early storylines and wondering what to make of folks like Jason Vargas, Andrew Triggs, A.J. Griffin, Ervin Santana, Mike Leake, etc. But for right now, all we can do is look at what else is available and pad […]
Contact Rate Risers and Fallers - Week 7
Welcome back, RotoBallers! We are now in the midst of the MLB season, so it's a good time to look at some key offensive trends. Among those trends we will follow each week is contact rate.

Tony Zych/Steve Cishek/Nick Vincent (RP, SEA) - Speculating the Mariners' Closer
Edwin Diaz looked like the best young closer in baseball down the stretch last season, mowing down opposing hitters to the tune of a 2.79 ERA and 5.87 K/BB. However, he has struggled to command his pitches in 2017, leading to a 5.28 ERA and just 2.00 K/BB. The Mariners finally made a change on […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)
Small sample sizes have now become reasonably big enough for us to make some informed decisions. It's unlikely you'll find any potential 30-HR bats still available on the waiver wire at this point, but streaming the right players each week can be extremely helpful even if you aren't in a head-to-head league. The corner infield […]
