The Cut List (Week 7) - Time to Let Go?

The 2019 season is now one-fifth over for every team in MLB, and one-quarter over for some. By the end of the month in just under three weeks time, it'll be one-third finished. If you've hung on to a certain player in a certain roto league, depending on how often you played or benched them, […]

Week 7 Starts & Sits - All Starting Pitcher Matchups

Mid-May marks the fantasy baseball season's quarter pole, which can be exciting as data becomes robust, but also frightful for pitching as warmer air leads to long flies. Are you keeping tabs of park factors, team stats and pitchers tweaking with their repertoire? Well, we here at RotoBaller are, with the aim to ease your […]

Ryan Braun Scratched on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (hamstring) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday. Braun is dealing with some left leg soreness, so he'll sit out this matchup versus the Chicago Cubs. Ben Gamel will replace him in left field and bat third versus lefty Cole Hamels. Gamel won't be a reliable fantasy option […]

Points Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 7

Welcome to the RotoBaller waiver wire column which falls in-line with most fantasy “who should I pick up?” articles with a skew towards points leagues. Yes, there is positive correlation to standard 5x5 scoring but in our format, specific categories matter less and the accumulation of total stats is the ultimate objective. Some stats are […]

Sauceda's Slants - Six Hitters to Buy for Today's Environment

Pitching days can be pure euphoria — firing up the games to watch your pitchers (hopefully) mow down the opposing team for several innings. Catching one of your hitters’ at-bats just doesn’t create that same lasting feeling. Or, at least that’s what I used to say. Nowadays, I find myself bracing for dear life whenever […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 7 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get 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 […]

Gio Gonzalez Spins Gem In Chicago

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez delivered yet another great start, this time against their NL Central rival in the Chicago Cubs. Gonzalez fell just shy of a quality start, as he finished with 5 2/3 innings pitched, two hits allowed and three walks issued, all while keeping the Cubs off of the scoreboard. Gonzalez […]

Chase Anderson Throwing Bullpen Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson (finger), who has been sidelined with a blister/callus issue, is throwing a bullpen on Friday. If he comes out of it fine, a rehab assignment could be next up. Anderson has made seven appearances this year (two starts) and has posted a nice 3.20 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 22 […]

Travis Shaw To Sit All Weekend

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw has been informed that he will be out of the lineup all three days this weekend with the Cubs throwing three left-handed starters. It'll give Shaw a chance to clear his head amidst his slump and watch video. Shaw's average has fallen to .172 (22-for-128), and he's gone 4-for-39 […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 6 Waiver Wire

Some pretty important moving and shaking went on this week in the bullpens across the league. Craig Kimbrel is still looking for somebody to love him (Queen reference in intro: ✔), and I'm still recommending anyone holding him in fantasy leagues without an NA spot lets him go. Thought it would be good to get […]

Travis Shaw Hitless Again Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals. The further we get into the season, the more things seem to be seriously concerning with Shaw. His average now sits at .172 and Shaw has 45 strikeouts in 128 at-bats. At this point, if […]

Eric Thames Collects Two Hits Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run and two walks in Wednesday's win over the Nationals. Thames has been ice-cold lately, as his average has dropped to .247, but Thames has been known to be a streaky hitter. Even with the power surge that Jesus Aguilar has […]

Mike Moustakas Homers Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, two RBI and two runs in Wednesday's win over the Nationals. Moustakas has been very consistent as of late with a hit in seven straight games, including two homers and four doubles. It looks like his injury is not bothering him anymore […]

Brandon Woodruff Strikes Out Nine Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff gave up one run on four hits and struck out nine Nationals over six innings in a win on Wednesday.

Jesus Aguilar Will Rest on Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The 28-year-old got off to an extremely slow start to begin the 2019 season, but over the past two weeks he's accumulated a .296 batting average to go along with three home runs and nine RBI. Eric […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 6

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]
