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. […]

ADP Champ or Chump: Jon Berti

Ever since the shortened season's rules were announced, it seems like fantasy owners obsessed over what it would mean for their pitching staff. Will my pitchers throw enough to get wins? Will teams use openers regularly? These are all valid questions, but owners would be wise to remember that pitching is only one-half of standard […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/11/20) - 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.

Caleb Smith Dealing With Stiff Neck

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith (neck) said he was dealing with a stiff neck since Thursday morning. The neck issue affected his command a bit on Thursday, but the left-hander feels healthy otherwise. It doesn't sound like an injury that should linger. Smith can be dominant at times, but he really struggled in the […]

Jonathan Villar Likely To Play Multiple Positions

Miami Marlins outfielder/infielder Jonathan Villar is "bracing" to play multiple positions this season, according to Marlins writer Joe Frisaro. Villar has been working in centerfield, shortstop, and second base so far in summer camp, and the Marlins are also considering using him as designated hitter for some games. Villar may not end up with a […]

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 […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/8/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

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

With one game left on Monday, 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 […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/5/20 & 7/6/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The full EPL weekend slate continues through this holiday weekend with four games Sunday and one Monday in something resembling a more recent traditional schedule.

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 7/4/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! Independence Day is tomorrow but tonight's slate provides plenty of fireworks. And if you think the cheap wordplay is going to stop there, we need to get to know each other better. At least I'm in a good mood right now. I was in a bit of a rut this week (stupid […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/4/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

Thursday's games saw us bag the Sheffield United v Tottenham pick and despite saying Manchester City would get more corners than Liverpool (denied by a 92nd minute Liverpool corner), they failed to get six for the pick anyway. I did say that Kevin de Bruyne was a good bet to score and I wouldn't be […]

30 Burning Questions (and Answers) for 2020 Fantasy Baseball

Upon hearing that Major League Baseball was finally set to return to action and the fantasy season was back, a million questions popped in my head. Sadly, I forgot most of them by the next day so I'm left with just 30, coincidentally a nice even number. Actually, my initial plan was to do 60 […]

Top DH Options for National League Teams

There is finally a plan for Major League Baseball in 2020! After months of negotiations and discussions, baseball is tentatively scheduled to open up in late July, and with it, a couple of new rules. The most notable new rule for 2020 is the implementation of the designated hitter in the National League, which certainly […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/2/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

A new month brought us slightly better fortune with two picks from four and we hope that improves heading into Thursday and beyond. Two Everton corners away from looking like bagging a parlay at +1550 and nearly predicting two correct scores. West Ham burst our balloon managing to pull out a shock 3-2 victory against […]

Max Meyer Officially Signs With Marlins

The Miami Marlins have officially signed first-round pick Max Meyer. Meyer was the third overall pick, selected out of the University of Minnesota. He will be added to the Marlins 60-player pool, and is expected to be one of the fastest movers from the 2020 draft. He is most likely on the player pool so […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/01/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The calendars turn over to a new month and we hope that brings us a bit more luck before I resort to seeking advice from my three-legged dog. Let down again on Monday by a goalkeeping error (for seemingly the umpteenth time already), we head into July with a four-game slate in the English Premier […]

Matt Kemp Signing With Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are signing outfielder Matt Kemp to a minor league deal on Tuesday after he didn't make the Marlins 60-man player pool for the upcoming season. The Kemp signing comes after outfielder Ian Desmond announced on Monday night that he will not be playing in 2020 due to risks surrounding COVID-19. It's a […]

Nick Vincent Signs With Marlins

The Miami Marlins agreed to terms on a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with relief pitcher Nick Vincent. Vincent was released by the Giants over the weekend and didn't have to wait long to find a new team. Vincent has been a decent reliever with a few spots of upside in […]

EPL Betting Picks (6/29/20 & 6/30/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The English Premier League is back and we head into a new week on the back of a couple of disappointing days. There's just a single game on Monday and Tuesday before a larger slate Wednesday so we'll try to get a couple of nice wins to kick-off the week.  Each game I'll be giving […]

Matt Kemp Not On Marlins Initial Player-Pool List

Miami Marlins outfielder Matt Kemp was not included on the team's preliminary 60-man player pool list. The Marlins list only has 57 players on it for now, so Kemp still has a chance, but reports say the veteran outfielder just did not make much of an impression on the Marlins during the first spring training. […]

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 6/28/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! But I'm wondering if there are less of you here. Rotoballer numbers are growing. But it looks like both FanDuel and DraftKings believes there will be less customers playing KBO DFS tonight. There is a noticeable decline in the number of contests available, the size of those contests, and of course with […]

The King's Insider Guide To the 60-Game MLB Season

Since the spring, I have been conducting interviews with many notable and well-informed MLB sources on the 2020 season. On the condition of anonymity, current and former players, scouts, executives, media members and others have shared their unfiltered insights, and I have supplied my in-depth fantasy baseball takes on the information they have shared.

Max Meyer Likely To Be Included In 60-Player Pool

Miami Marlins first-round pick Max Meyer, a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher from the University of Minnesota, is likely to be included in the 60-player pool this season. The Marlins and Meyer have already verbally agreed to a contract, but of course the actual signing isn't official until "the ink dries." Still, Meyer is fully expected to […]

Marlins Player, Staff Member Test Positive For COVID-19

A Miami Marlins player and a staff member at the team's Jupiter, Florida, complex have both tested positive for COVID-19. Both are asymptomatic and will certainly be isolated for the next couple of weeks. With the MLB season getting started in late July and spring training 2.0 kicking off on July 1, this is almost […]

Garrett Cooper, Matt Joyce Candidates For DH Role

With the designated hitter being used in both leagues this season, Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and outfielder Matt Joyce are two candidates to be used in the role a lot. Cooper is the much more attractive fantasy commodity in deeper leagues for his ability to hit for average and modest power for the […]
