Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13
We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have once again been littered with injuries. Both good and bad things arise from injuries. Let's start with the bad, which means losing a player, sometimes a key player, from your roster. The good is a chance to add a new player, and certain players […]
1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13
Major League Baseball will begin checking pitchers for foreign substances starting Monday. Forget that this has always been something for which umpires were supposed to be checking. The real crackdown now begins. Pitchers have already bailed on the sticky stuff, supposedly. Spin rates are down around the sport. Strikeout and walk rates are also down, […]
Catchers to Stream - Week 13 Waiver Wire
It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position.

[…]

Jesus Aguilar Gets Two Hits On Sunday
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar got two hits on Sunday in a loss against the Chicago Cubs. Aguilar went 2-for-4 with two singles and was the only Marlin to record more than one hit and in fact the only Marlin to even reach base more than once. Aguilar has been heating up lately. He's […]
Zach Thompson Pulled After Four No-Hit Innings
Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Zach Thompson threw four innings of no-hit ball in Sunday's start against the Chicago Cubs. He was pulled after just 73 pitches, having allowed an unearned run on three walks and seven strikeouts. There was no logical reason for Thompson to come out of the game, but then you remember […]
Adam Duvall Has Another Two Homer Game On Saturday
Miami Marlins outfielder Adam Duvall did it again on Saturday, hitting two more home runs and driving in four more runs. Duvall hit two homers and drove in six on Friday, so he's on what you may call a bit of a hot streak. On Saturday, Duvall went 2-for-4 with the two home runs, three […]
Pablo Lopez Shines On Saturday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez was excellent on Saturday, allowing only one hit in seven innings of work, striking out seven without allowing a walk.

Zach Thompson To Start Versus Cubs On Sunday
Miami Marlins pitcher Zach Thompson will draw the start for Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. He has pitched well during his last two outings, but this won't be an easy assignment. Wrigley Field can quickly turn into a hitter-friendly park, which is always frustrating for fantasy managers. The Cubs seem to always have […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 13 Waiver Wire
Quite a sticky situation in baseball this week, huh? That's just in reference to some of the bullpen issues, why, what did you think I meant?

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 6/19/21 (Premium Content)
Hey RotoBallers! Hope all is well in your world. Unfortunately it's the same old song and dance over here after Week 11. Six out of the seven days last week were what I would call "productive" in that I either profited some or broke even on a play or two that could've swung either way. […]

Cody Poteet Doesn't Finish The Fourth Inning On Friday
Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Cody Poteet was decent in a short start in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Poteet had just come off the injured list due to a knee injury and hadn't had a chance to make any rehab starts, so he was never expected to go deep into this game […]
