Week 9 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Two months are (basically) in the books and we are officially off of the rails here. Mike Trout is injured, Bryce Harper’s suspended and every single pitcher is just one sneeze away from a DL stint. One thing I notice with pieces like these are that the same arms seem to hover around the ownership […]

David Peralta (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: David Peralta continues to prove his worth as an OF3 in fantasy leagues with production across multiple categories. His slash line is up to .305/.349/.461 with four home runs, four steals, and 24 runs scored. His weak area of production is RBI, as […]

Cameron Maybin (OF, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Many thought that Los Angeles Angels outfielder Cameron Maybin had a fluke 2016 season with a .315 batting average in 94 games, but his 2017 season has been strong as well.  While his season average is just .244, he's absolutely tearing it up […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/25/17): MLB DFS Advice

The afternoon slate will dominate Thursday's action as there are only five games on the main slate. There isn't any obvious ace pitcher to play, as Jacob deGrom has faced health issues and all the other high priced pitchers have questions of their own. That said, it will be important to get plenty of production […]

Matt Shoemaker (SP, LAA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: On the surface, Shoemaker is pitching like a replacement-level starter. A 3.97 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 2.39 K/BB and remarkably mediocre. These ratios aren't too off last year either (3.88 ERA, 1.23 WHIP), but the control is not the same (4.77 K/BB). The difference […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

The pitcher landscape is honestly not all that inspiring save for some guys lingering around due to market inefficiencies. You'll find three Rockies here, and honestly, Jeff Hoffman could've made four but those in redraft leagues likely can't deal with stashing him while Colorado shuttles him back and forth between the Majors and Minors. Here […]
