Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Reds aren't mathematically eliminated from the NL playoffs quite yet, and that has not stopped the Reds from becoming a scrappy team. Their pitching staff has been the biggest reason for that with Anthony DeSclafani leading the charge. His 7 K/9 is right on course […]
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 9/11/15
Well, the aces were postponed yesterday, so if you were already invested in a tournament, you were likely making last-minute changes and thinking to yourself, “How come I have so much money left over?” That one be the case tonight. We will likely lose Jake Arrieta’s start this time around because of the early double-header […]
Hamels (Shoulder) Start Moved To Monday
Cole Hamels scheduled start for Sunday has been moved to Monday, which will give him an extra day's rest after taking a comebacker to his shoulder on Tuesday.

Buehrle Start Moved To Tuesday; Marcus Stroman Season Debut Saturday
Mark Buehrle’s scheduled start for Saturday has been moved to Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves.

Instead, Buerhle is going to get an extra few days […]

A.J. Burnett has been activated from the DL and will start Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers as the Pittsburgh Pirates go for their third straight win.

MLB DFS - Lineup Advice, Picks, and Sleepers for DraftKings 9/10/15
There are eight games this Thursday, September 10th, and paying high for pitching will be unnecessary. Every split that I have given for an offensive player is based on splits against the opposing pitcher. If Shin Soo-Choo faces Felix Hernandez, Soo-Choo stats will show his averages against RHP. All of my options that I have […]
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 9/10/15
Players beware: It’s Thursday, September 10th. It’s the first official night of the NFL season. At this point in time, all of the “amateurs” that you’ve been looking to take advantage of in head-to-head, 50/50, and tournament games are no longer. They have moved onto bigger things (NFL DFS). So, I’m not saying don’t play […]

Josh Tomlin (SP, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Tomlin's career numbers have been nothing short of abysmal and yet owners should truly take a look at what Tomlin has done to keep Cleveland and his career afloat. Tomlin has been on fire as of late spinning 16 innings with […]
Jorge De La Rosa (SP, COL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The thought of picking up a Rockies pitcher is typically discarded immediately by most owners without so much as a second thought. However, in Jorge De La Rosa's case, a closer look is highly recommended. The walks have been way down in […]
Harvey Innings Limit At 200 For The Rest Of The Year
The plan for Matt Harvey is that the starting pitcher will stay under 200 innings for the rest of the regular season and potential postseason, according to USA Today. The New York Mets ace has pitched 166 1/3 innings so far. Harvey is 33 2/3 innings away from the limit with still a little less […]

Top MLB Prospects to Pickup off the Waiver Wire in Week 23
Did you see that home run Kris Bryant hit?! That was a bomb! Any time a ball travels 495 feet, you know it was absolutely crushed. With the recent struggles of Pederson, it looks like Bryant is the most likely candidate to win Rookie of the Year. Noah Syndergaard and Randal Grichuk could make a […]
Buy & Sell Starting Pitchers for Week 23
Last week's buys got off to a strong start. Josh Tomlin tossed a magnificent complete game in Detroit, while Raisel Iglesias spun another gem against the Cubs, notching double-digit strikeouts for the third straight start. Unfortunately, Iglesias was also shelled by the Pirates last night, and Drew Hutchison tossed a rare clunker at home against […]
Derek Holland (TEX, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Texas Rangers have clawed their way to the second Wild Card spot and their pitching staff deserves a fair share of the credit, from Cole Hamels to Yovanni Gallardo to Derek Holland. Holland can't seem to stay healthy for full campaigns, but when he pitches […]
Bartolo Colon (NYM, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you were curious if I am picking on the Braves, you are right.

Steven Matz (NYM, SP) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANAL:YSIS:It's likely Steven Matz is already scooped up in your league or was sitting in an owner's DL slot.

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Eovaldi, Thor, and Strasburg
Few things complicate a fantasy baseball owner's plans like September innings limits. You can understand why a team would want to protect its most valuable arm, but just because the real team is dead in the water doesn't mean a fantasy roster doesn't still need it. It becomes even more confusing if the team is […]
Minor League Spotlight: Top Fantasy Pitching Prospects from Week 22
This is quite the pickle that the Mets have found themselves in regarding Matt Harvey. They don’t want to push him past that 180 IP mark a season following Tommy John surgery, but they also need him in the rotation in the postseason to help them go all the way. If they are wise, they […]
Kris Medlen (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There was much speculation when Kris Medlen finally came back to full time SP duties again after so much time went by.
