Reviewing Demetri's Bold Predictions from the 2016 Season

Welcome back to RotoBaller's 2016 Bold Predictions series. We've heard from several writers already, but have plenty more fearless forecasts coming down the pike. Today, it's my turn to put my sterling reputation on the line. I would love to blame most of these on me spending a couple months in Greece this summer. But […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/10/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome back to more Divisional Series fun on FanDuel. The Blue Jays have punched their ticket to the ALCS but we still have a triple-header on deck. Just a heads up -- if you joined a contest yesterday that included Texas-Toronto, it was cancelled. New contests with the six teams left are now available. On smaller […]

Reviewing Rick Lucks's Bold Predictions For 2016

During the offseason, I joined a bunch of my fellow Rotoballer writers in boldly predicting what might occur in the upcoming season. I foolishly ended that piece's intro with ,"Am I a Champ or a Chump?" despite the fact that no one had any idea how I did yet. The season is over, so now […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/10/16): MLB DFS Advice

Today's slate shrunk late Sunday night when the Toronto Blue Jays swept the Texas Rangers. That means three games are on the docket for today. There are not a lot of targets to choose from, but some stand out from the others. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/9/16): MLB DFS Advice

  Well, the postseason is looking bleak for a couple of teams. The even-season-magic doesn't look to be working for the San Francisco Giants. Enough about that. Let's get down to some fantasy recommendations. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 10/9/16. The […]

Reviewing Max Petrie's Bold Predictions for 2016

Need a break from the NFL grind or perhaps still in the debrief stage of baseball? Have no fear, we got you covered. Let's check out my bold predictions from the preseason and how they turned out. After all, no one likes an expert that makes bold claims and doesn't crow after it crashes and […]

Reviewing Harris Yudin's Bold Predictions for 2016

What’s even more fun than making bold predictions? Looking back at the end of the season to see how good (or so, so hilariously bad) they were. Just like with the preseason pieces in March, I’m continuing the review of our RotoBaller staff’s 2016 bold predictions. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/9/16): MLB DFS Advice

Welcome to the first Saturday of the 2016 Major League Baseball playoffs. We get a special treat with three games thanks to the Dodgers-Nationals rainout, giving us a bit more flexibility in our lineups. With NFL Sunday coinciding with the playoffs I expect total entries to be down, opening the opportunity for some overlay contests. On […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/7/16): MLB DFS Advice

Reviewing Tony Peters' Bold Predictions for 2016

After opening up the season with a list of 10 bold predictions, I have face to facts, look myself in the mirror and deal with the aftermath of my thoughts. How off-the-wall or on-the-mark was I? Well, spoiler-alert, a little spotty outside of Mariners-related picks. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS […]

Reviewing Jeff Kahntroff's Bold Predictions for 2016

Back in March, RotoBaller staff writers (including yours truly) published a series of bold predictions for the 2016 fantasy baseball season. Now that the year is in the books, it's time to look back at how we all did. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including DFS Premium), and also get MLB Premium […]

Reviewing Edward Sutelan's Bold Predictions for 2016

Before this season, I made a couple of bold predictions about the upcoming season. There were some hits . . . and then there were some misses. Overall, I feel that people who read my article seeking fantasy advice were probably not too let down by my predictions (unless you bought into A.J. Reed). I look […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/7/16): MLB DFS Advice

As a Mets fan, I was a little bummed out by how the season ended, but that can be expected when dealing with multiple key injuries. On a different note, props have to be sent to Madison Bumgarner, who continues to prove that he's one of the best playoff pitchers in the MLB. In this […]

Reviewing Nick Mariano's Bold Predictions for 2016

Hello you beautiful RotoBallers, and welcome to this little retrospective ditty where I look back at my 10 Bold Predictions from before the 2016 baseball season started. Perhaps you’ve seen some of my fellow writers doing the same lately, but obviously there is only one Nick Mariano. Let’s see how ya boy did. Editor's Note: Purchase […]

RotoBaller's 2016 Fantasy Baseball Awards

We are gathered here today to hand out the 2016 RotoBaller Fantasy Baseball Awards. I’m your host, Nick Mariano, and I'll be your Sherpa for the festivities. In case you want to see where things stood at the All-Star break before reading on, check out our Midseason Awards column.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (10/01/16): MLB DFS Advice

It's the final Saturday of the regular season, meaning that time for daily fantasy baseball is running out. With a full slate today you'll have a full compliment of players to choose from. There's plenty of value to go around today, and that's reflected in the suggested targets. In this article, I will be providing […]

Champ or Chump: How'd I Do?

The point of Champ or Chump is to use every metric imaginable to try to predict how a player will perform in the future. It's not always right, as true talent levels change while luck plays a role in every play's individual outcome. Historically, I conclude the analysis based on what I see as the […]

Lessons Learned From Our Deeper Waiver Wire Adds (American League)

With the season wrapping up this weekend, I wanted to take a moment in this final entry in the column this year to reflect on the 2016 fantasy season in terms of deep AL-only cuts. Quite a few fantasy relevant players made their way into this column this season, including more than a handful that transformed […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Salt River Rafters

The Salt River Rafters are filled to the brim with batting prospects worth watching. Likewise, they lack any rotation worth noting. They are similar to the Surprise Saguaros in nature without the obvious ace in Michael Kopech. The thing that sticks out the most about the Rafters is that two of the four players to watch […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/29/16): MLB DFS Advice

What's up RotoBallers. Welcome to the last Thursday regular season day of MLB DFS. We've been hashtag blessed with a 12 game schedule, with 10 of the games taking place in the evening in the Main slate. For anyone unfamiliar with Thursday schedules, that's a whole lot of night games for a day that is […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/28/16): MLB DFS Advice

It's a full slate of MLB games on DraftKings for Wednesday's contests, as there is one game in the early afternoon and the remaining 14 contests take place in the evening. Because there's (can be) only one day game (Highlander) I'm going to focus on the evening games so that you can apply this advice to all of the evening and […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Surprise Saguaros

Though Yoan Moncada is without a doubt the best player in the league, I have to question the quality of the Surprise Saguaros rotation and bullpen. Past Mat Kopech, there isn't anything worth noting long term as viable big league options. The Surprise Saguaros, however, may be the most fun team to watch. What they lack […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Tillman, Hanley, and Gary Sanchez

As we head toward the season's final week, chances are your fantasy fate has been decided. Even if it hasn't, adding players for this year only holds so much potential value. Your process may be flawless, but the tiny sample size remaining can ruin the best laid plans. My favorite story to that effect is from […]

Week 26 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Well, here we are. Congratulations to you who are still reading, as you've made it this far. We’ve officially reached the final week of the fantasy baseball season, and there is no more critical time of the year outside of the draft. Championships are won and lost here, with those battling for a spot on […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/23/16): MLB DFS Advice

The NL Wildcard race is as close as it gets right now. The crazy part is that I am a Mets fan and my brother and dad are Giants fans. It would be a real heartbreak at this point if the Cardinals end up winning into the playoffs through the wildcard. In this article, I […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (9/22/16): MLB DFS Advice

Ten games - all at night - on a Thursday in September? What's not to love? Relative to a normal get-away-day, 10 games is healthy number and as a DFS guy that likes to have his fair share of player options, every game being played at night is dreamy. As for Vegas lines, there isn't […]
