Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 21 - Buy or Sell?

As with last week, the focus will be on the full season numbers. Not much else to say, so let's jump in. Weekly reminders: EVAB (pronounced ee-vab or ev-ab) is simply exit velocity on "air balls" - meaning fly balls and line drives, as shown on Statcast. Isolated power -- ISO -- is slugging percentage […]

Well, we hope you’ve been reading this series all season long because we’ve introduced you to a plethora of players that have impacted the Majors Leagues this season… and this past week may have been the busiest one all year. Last week’s list saw six players receive a promotion within the past seven days. Five […]

Shohei Ohtani, Albert Pujols Out Of Game 1 Lineup

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and first baseman Albert Pujols are sitting out of the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rangers. There's no word of injury for either player, so they should be back in the lineup for Game 2. Matt Thaiss will start at first for the Angels, and Justin […]

David Fletcher Trying To Turn Second Half Around

Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder David Fletcher is 12-for-29 (.444) over his last seven games heading into Tuesday's action. Fletcher hit .295 in the first half of the season but is hitting only .267, with a slugging percentage of only .373, since the All-Star break. But Fletcher is showing signs of life, collecting hits in six […]

Mike Trout One Home Run Shy Of Career High

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 2-for-6 with one run scored in the Angels 8-7 loss in 11 innings to the Rangers. Trout is putting together another MVP-campaign and is already only one home run shy of his career-best of 41. Trout is currently slashing .321/.472/.696 in the month of August and has been […]

Kole Calhoun Hitting Only .220 In August

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun went 1-for-5 with one RBI in the Angels loss to the Rangers in extra innings Monday. Calhoun is coming off the heels of hitting his career-high 27th home run of the season but, once again, the veteran has backed up a strong month with a dud. After slashing .272/.343/.576 […]

Is Justin Upton Turning The Corner?

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs batted in as the Angels lost to the Rangers in extra innings on Monday. Upton now has hits in each of his last three games and has two home runs and 10 runs batted in over his last six games. This […]

Shohei Ohtani Doubles, Adds One RBI In Loss

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in the Angels 8-7 loss Monday to the Rangers. Ohtani has really turned it on recently, slashing .444/.483/.778 over his last seven games and now is slashing .344/.385/.541 in the month of August. Fantasy owners certainly are […]

Albert Pujols Goes Yard In Loss

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols went 2-for-4 with a home run, two walks, and three runs batted in as the Angels dropped an extra-innings battle to the Rangers 8-7. Pujols smacked his 19th home run of the season in the first inning, a three-run bomb that now gives the veteran slugger 73 runs […]

Jaime Barria Will Start on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jaime Barria will draw the start in the second game of the doubleheader versus the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Barria is 4-6 with a 6.62 ERA in seven starts with the Angels this season. He isn't a reliable fantasy option and he's not worth streaming on Tuesday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: While his humdrum showing at Triple-A in 2019 didn't necessarily warrant a major league promotion, the Los Angeles Angels found themselves in need of a starting pitcher, and Dillon Peters has been a pleasant surprise in response.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 21 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]
