Updated Shortstop Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Mixed Leagues (July)

With Opening Day of the 2020 MLB season just a few weeks away, we have a new batch of updated fantasy baseball rankings for you here at RotoBaller. The unpredictable effects of COVID-19 and the implementation of the 60-game season will make the upcoming fantasy campaign the most unique we have ever seen. Not only […]

Overpriced Hitters According to ATC Projections

RotoBaller is fortunate to have 2019's most accurate ranker, Ariel Cohen, to give us his updated ATC projections. I have taken those projections and turned them into fantasy dollars, ranking them accordingly. By comparing these rankings to the latest NFBC ADP data, we can see which players ATC likes at their draft price, and who should […]

Underpriced Pitchers According to ATC Projections

While nothing is guaranteed, we can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. Baseball is back, baby! Summer camp (I refuse to call it Spring Training 2.0) has now begun and Opening Day is set for July 23/24. Coming with the return are seismic changes; a universal DH, limited opponents, a […]

Closers and Saves Report: Summer Camp Edition

In a normal year, we'd be talking about the upcoming trade deadline and how this team needs that player but that team needs this player but then that guy got hurt. During a normal baseball season, we'd be discussing the All-Star Game and how this player definitely didn't deserve a spot and that player was certainly robbed of his […]

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 7/18/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! I am excited to be previewing the 7/18/20 KBO DFS slate. Why? Because I finally get to preview a Chang Moo Koo outing! He's got an amazing arsenal of pitches and we'll get to him in a minute. But speaking of an arsenal, let's talk about some of the tools you have […]

Leury Garcia Dealing With Mid-Back Soreness

Chicago White Sox shortstop/outfielder Leury Garcia (back) is dealing with some mid-back soreness in summer camp, but the team isn't very worried about it. He was replaced in the intrasquad game on Thursday by Nicky Delmonico. It sounds as though Garcia should be back soon, and barring any setbacks, should be ready to go by […]

Yoan Moncada Reports To Camp

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (undisclosed) has returned to White Sox camp. There was no initial reason as to why Moncada’s arrival was delayed, but Moncada said he had tested positive for COVID-19. Moncada is coming off of his breakout season and he will look to build off of that success this year. […]

Nick Mariano's 2020 Draft Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a polarizing term in fantasy sports, becoming an SEO must for articles despite no real consensus on what it means. So let's get my definition out of the way first. Sleepers are not necessarily meant to be names that no one else […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/16/20 & 7/17/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

We had a good weekend slate with eight picks banking out of eleven plus a +750 correct score pick. We were denied a +1956 parlay from a dreadful VAR call for Crystal Palace and on Saturday, Liverpool and Chelsea combined for 38 shots but just one goal otherwise we could have been looking at a […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/14/20 & 7/15/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

With one game left of the weekend slate, we've had a decent enough few days. Six of the nine picks from the slate have hit so far plus a +750 correct score pick. We were denied a +1956 parlay from a dreadful VAR call for Crystal Palace and on Saturday, Liverpool and Chelsea combined for […]

Nick Mariano's 2020 Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Fantasy baseball drafts (and their articles) are almost all about finding the next superstar and unearthing talent late, but we can't forget that surrendering value by over-drafting can be just as crucial. In order to evaluate overvalued players here, we're going to utilize Average […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/12/20 & 7/13/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The midweek slate was a mixed bag. Denied by the woodwork and controversial officiating on Tuesday. On Thursday, two of our picks drew. And Wednesday, I'm still salty about. With 90 minutes on the clock in the first three games, we need a West Ham goal to bag all three picks and two correct scores. […]

Yoan Moncada, Jose Ruiz Placed On Injured List

Chicago White Sox third baseman/second baseman Yoan Moncada and relief pitcher Jose Ruiz were placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The White Sox aren't specifying an injury for either player, so it's a good bet this is related to COVID-19. Moncada has been away from summer camp since Monday and it's unclear if […]

Michael Kopech Opts Out Of 2020 Season

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn announced on Friday that starting pitcher Michael Kopech has opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19. The 24-year-old right-hander has one of the best arms in baseball and was recovering from Tommy John surgery which held him out all of last year. You can obviously cross […]

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 7/11/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! Thank you for the feedback I got back this week. I'm glad that most of you liked the Independence Day themed article last weeked. However, there will not be any theme today, just straight forward analysis and recommendation for the 7/11/20 KBO DFS slate. I did wake up early this morning to […]

Prospects To Watch: Flamethrowing Righties and ROY Candidates

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting and up and coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes […]

Andrew Vaughn Getting Work At Third Base

Chicago White Sox first base prospect Andrew Vaughn has been getting practice at third base. Manager Rick Renteria said "He has all the makings of being able to play that position." A move to third base would likely allow Vaughn to get to the big leagues significantly faster, because Jose Abreu is firm at first […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/9/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The weekend slate treated us well. Four correct picks from six on Saturday (including a +300 winner) and only denied a clean swipe by the woodwork and a sitter missed. Sunday saw us bag two from three (with a void bet and a +525 correct score pick) and miss out on the sweep with Manchester […]

Gio Gonzalez Feels His Shoulder His 95 Percent

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez (shoulder) said that he has done a lot of physical therapy during the quarantine and feels as if he’s around 95%. Gonzalez signed a one-year deal this offseason, but with Michael Kopech (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) returning from Tommy John surgery, it’s unclear what his role with […]

High Expectations For Luis Robert

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert, MLB Pipeline's No. 3 overall prospect this year, is one of the favorites for the American League Rookie of the Year in 2020. The 22-year-old has five-tool talent and is projected by some pundits to be one of the game's next superstars. Robert has the ability to hit 30 […]

Yoan Moncada Held Out Of Workouts

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada has not participated in any workouts, which began on Friday of last week, according to a source. The team announced on Sunday that two players tested positive for COVID-19, but they didn't release names. Both players are asymptomatic, however. The White Sox won't say if Moncada was one […]

A Crash Course for MLB's Sprint Season

In true 2020-style, baseball is about to get funky. Maybe you’re excited about the idea of getting some strange baseball, or maybe the word “fluid” reminds you of the morning after your last visit to Taco Bell. Either way, it’s time to start sorting the chalupas from the chimichangas. Let’s acknowledge that we’re venturing into […]

Dylan Cease Believes He’s Ready For Opening Day

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease said on Monday that he believes he’ll be ready to throw five to six innings when Opening Day arrives. After being one of the top pitching prospects, Cease made his debut in 2019 and recorded 5.79 ERA in 73 innings over 14 starts. Cease was able to record […]

Can You Punt Categories In A Shortened MLB Season?

Punting categories in a roto league is something I've always shied away from. After all, you're willingly lowering your team's overall points ceiling on the hope that sacrificing a category benefits your team elsewhere. In general, punting should not be pre-planned and, if used, it should be decided while drafting based on your team so far and […]
