Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 22

It's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools. Instead of trading assets with other owners, you can "buy" players that have been overlooked or recently discarded on the wire. In this case, think of it as a short-term investment that comes at a low […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 22) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 22, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Wil Myers Returns To Lineup

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers (nose) is back in the lineup Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Myers missed a couple of games after suffering a nose laceration fielding ground balls during warmups earlier this week. He’ll bat second and man the hot corner. Myers is batting .207 in August with nine strikeouts […]

Adrian Beltre is Sitting Out on Friday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The Rangers are playing in a National League park, so it's not surprising to see the veteran slugger get the day off. Jurickson Profar will play third base and bat fifth versus righty Dereck […]

Miguel Sano is Back in the Lineup Friday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Sano is 0-for-14 during his last four games, so the Twins gave him a day off on Thursday. He's back in the lineup batting fifth and playing third base against lefty Sean Manaea. Sano is hitting […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/24/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, Rotoballers. We made it to the weekend, and we're graced with an interesting 14-game Main slate this evening. Only the Reds at Cubs are playing in the afternoon, with 28 teams taking the field under the lights. Pitching options aren't very "top end", but they're priced as such and will allow for spending […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/24/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 14-game slate on Friday (CIN/CHC play prior to 7:05pm EST). Four games have an over/under of at least nine earned runs. Unfortunately, the Reds/Cubs matchup has the highest projected run total (12.5 runs) and we don’t have the ability to utilize those players. So, let’s focus on the games we can use. […]

Todd Frazier Homers Again on Thursday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier hit a home run for the second straight game on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Frazier took Madison Bumgarner deep for a solo shot in the seventh inning, but ultimately the Mets fell just short in a 3-1 loss. The home run was Frazier's 14th of the […]

Nicholas Castellanos Homers To Extend Hot Streak

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos had two hits Thursday, including his 19th home run of the season, to continue a hot-hitting stretch that has now extended to two full weeks. Over his last 15 games, Castellanos is batting .356/.415/.627 with four homers and 13 RBI. Castellanos had been tanking hard after the All Star Break, […]

Week 22 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by 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 […]

Points Leagues (H2H) Waiver Wire Adds and Streamers - Week 22

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]

Matt Duffy Scores Twice Thursday Versus The Royals

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy scored twice Thursday versus Kansas City. He would record two hits, a walk and two runs scored. The two hits raised Duffy's batting average to .295. The second of the runs scored came on an error. Duffy lacks power (four homers) while not compensating with a high steal […]

Johan Camargo Notches Three Hits Against Marlins

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 3-for-5 at the plate with one RBI on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. This performance continued the sizzling hot stretch Camargo has been on for the past month, as the 24-year-old has a .307 average with four homers and 20 RBI over his past 30 games. Camargo also […]

Christian Villanueva Placed on 10-Day DL

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva (finger) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list on Thursday. Villanueva suffered a fractured right middle finger while attempting to field a ground ball on Wednesday. He's expected to miss three or four weeks, so his 2018 season could be over. Many fantasy owners may want to […]

Miguel Sano is Sitting Out on Thursday

Minnesota Twins corner infielder Miguel Sano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Sano is hitting .232 with 33 strikeouts in 82 at-bats since returning from the minors last month. He is 0-for-14 over the last four games. Ehire Adrianza will play third base and bat eighth versus […]

Eduardo Nunez Delivers Two RBI on Thursday

Boston Red Sox utility man Eduardo Nunez came up with a two-run double in the fifth inning to blow Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians wide open. Nunez was 1-for-4 on the day with a strikeout. It has been a highly disappointing season from a fantasy perspective for the 31-year-old. After three straight years with […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/23/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a split slate of games with only four in the early window and then a four-game main slate. Options are a bit thin across the board, so it could be a time to take a shot in some tournaments, where it's easy to be different. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Nicholas Castellanos Collects Three Hits

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos knocked his 35th double of the season Wednesday, and singled twice more, in a losing battle to the Cubs. Fresh off AL Player of the Week honors, Castellanos is continuing to hit and work toward breaking out of a slump that has plagued him since the All Star break. The […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 21)

With the fantasy playoffs looming around the corner (or, in some instances, in full swing), rookie impact becomes less and less important due to the fact that there simply aren't any great stashes remaining. A top prospect being promoted for a cup of coffee can make a huge impact, but there does not profile to […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 21: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 21 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. As the season has progressed well into August and the MLB trade deadline has passed, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or […]

Maikel Franco Crushes Home Run In Crushing Loss

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco drilled one of three home runs for the club in Wednesday night’s game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. The 25-year-old’s blast came in the first inning, a two-run blast that put the Phillies up by three. The home run was Franco’s 21st of the year, as he […]

Neil Walker Drives In Two Runs In Miami Defeat

The New York Yankees didn’t have much to be proud of on Wednesday night if anything. After all, they dropped a game to the lowly Miami Marlins, recording three errors and managing just three runs. Two of three runs came off the bat of Neil Walker, who’s become one of the more instrumental bats in […]

Jake Bauers is Out, Matt Duffy Back in on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first base Jake Bauers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. C.J. Cron will serve as the first baseman and bat cleanup versus righty Jake Junis. Matt Duffy is back in the starting lineup after sitting out of Tuesday's contest. He'll bat second and […]

Jose Bautista Will Lead Off on Wednesday

New York Mets corner infielder/outfielder Jose Bautista will lead off and play right field versus righty Casey Kelly on Wednesday. Bautista is hitting just .176/.299/.297 over the last month, but will bat first for some reason. Possibly the Mets are just trying to shake up their lineup to create some offense. Regardless, Bautista is worth […]

Adrian Beltre At Designated Hitter Again Wednesday

Adrian Beltre will start his second game in two days as the Rangers designated hitter. Beltre is recovering from his third hamstring injury of the season. In an effort to avoid the disabled list, Beltre is now playing regularly as the designated hitter. Beltre's fantasy value has been all but eradicated this season, but only […]

Daniel Murphy Batting First In Cubs Debut

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Murphy will play second base and bat first on Wednesday versus the Tigers. It will be Murphy’s first game with his new team and it comes at a good time as Murphy has been swinging a hot bat and the Cubs have not scored more than one run in five consecutive […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy hump day, Rotoballers. We've got a nifty 10-game slate on deck this evening, with a handful of solid and intriguing (see also: risk + upside) pitchers toeing the rubber under the lights. There should be some solid competition, too, as this is the first Wednesday slate I can recall in a while where there […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 21

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]
