MLB Hitter Cheat Sheet (6/11/16): Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Picks
Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. I have good news, and some bad news. Always go bad news first. Unfortunately, there are no pricing typos on DFS today, like the one that left Kike Hernandez at a whopping $220 on yesterdays crazy FanDuel slate. But the good news is that I have found eight options that […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire: Catchers
We're now 10 weeks into the season and the state of catching still leaves a lot to be desired. As of this writing, there still has not been a catcher to crack the 10-homer mark and the top mark of 32 RBIs was 23 behind the Major League leader. One of the main reasons I […]
Week 10 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball
Last week’s recommendations worked out pretty well. On the buy side, Joey Votto hit .318/.464/.727 with two homers and three (!) stolen bases. Scott Kazmir had his outing against the Braves cut short by leg cramps and didn’t post great ratios. He still struck out a batter per inning and got a win, though. Moving […]

Eugenio Suarez (3B/SS, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While Eugenio Suarez has been streaky so far in 2016, he has accumulated 13 HR, four SB, and a slash line of .239/.293/.455 in 209 AB this season. It is safe to say that the Reds got a bargain in trading Alfredo Simon […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (6/9/16): MLB DFS Advice
There are nine games total on Thursday, but just two of them occur before 7:05 pm eastern time. So, we'll work with the main, seven-game slate. The pitching on this slate is absolutely horrendous. I think your best bet is to play a few tournaments and hope for the best. Trying to build a cash […]
Michael Fulmer (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 64 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Given how well Yoenis Cespedes has performed since joining the Mets, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the organization who regrets that trade. But the Tigers are reaping the benefits as well, thanks to Michael Fulmer's strong debut. Through his first […]
MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Fantasy Rankings for Impact Rookies (Week 10)
Just to answer a question I have received a lot right at the top: I do not know when the exact Super Two deadline is. The day varies each year and no one has released a specific date for it. Just so you have a general date to keep in mind, last season Carlos Correa […]
Cameron Maybin (OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 54% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Wow. 74 AB into his return from the DL with the Tigers, Cameron Maybin has an eye-opening slash line of .419/.482/.486, one home run, and four stolen bases. The most notable difference in Maybin's performance at the plate is certainly his strikeouts. […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire: First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)
Week 10?! That can't be right. It seems like just yesterday that we were all saying things like, "Hey, catcher might not be a black hole this season!" and "That Dallas Keuchel guy sure can throw a baseball good!" and "Justin Upton's probably going to have a career year!" Oh, to be two months younger […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Castellanos, Bogaerts, and Abreu
Another day, another hitting streak that I don't care about for a Boston player. This time it's Xander Bogaerts, a shortstop that I dismissed in the preseason for lacking obvious fantasy skills. Jose Abreu is another guy I never really cared for, as he never posted a FB% that made me trust his impressive HR […]
