Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. Today we have an extra full slate of beautiful baseball thanks to a double header in South side.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! As a reminder, in this piece we're looking for weekly streamers, which means players who are 50% owned or less in Yahoo! leagues and who have seven games in the week. This week the options are aplenty. These players could be hitters worth starting and streaming in Week 9 of the fantasy […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (5/26/17): MLB DFS Advice

Fifteen game Friday to kick off the holiday weekend?! Incredible. We have quite an attractive slate on deck this evening and a special holiday on double-deck.

Power Risers and Fallers for Week 8: Buy or Sell?

Welcome back to this investigative piece where we examine players who have seen some notable changes in their power profiles -- for better or for worse -- in 2017.

Week 8 Waiver Wire: Catchers

Have you ever been reading a book or watching a TV show and things keep happening to characters that you don't care about... but they steadfastly refuse to show any events happening to the more important people? That's what this past week felt like when scanning catcher's statistics. Sure, Salvador Perez went on a homer […]

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 […]

Champ or Chump: Kevin Pillar & Michael Conforto

The fantasy community hypes up a few players every draft season without driving their ADP too high. Kevin Pillar was viewed as an intriguing speed play if he could hit enough to receive regular PAs, yet his ADP was just 321. Michael Conforto was buried on the Mets depth chart, but everyone thought he would […]

DraftKings Lineup Picks & Sleepers (5/25/17): MLB DFS Advice

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 […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

Small sample sizes have now become reasonably big enough for us to make some informed decisions. It's unlikely you'll find any potential 30-HR bats still available on the waiver wire at this point, but streaming the right players each week can be extremely helpful even if you aren't in a head-to-head league. The corner infield […]

We have a full 15 games today, per usual. DraftKings has split them up into an eight game early slate featuring Max Scherzer and the best stacking options, and a seven game main slate.

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 8

Big market, big name, big deal. Sometimes we need to let go of the past and take a hard look at some players who simply aren't living up to their reputations. Likewise, some players who fall under the "failed prospect" label could wind up providing better value than that big free agent signing you're holding […]

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Relief Pitcher (RP)

The comedian Lewis Black has a fantastic bit about the dumbest thing he’s ever heard in his life. After relaying the thing in question, he cautions the audience, “Don’t think about that sentence for more than three minutes, or blood will shoot out your nose.” This is more or less how it felt trying to […]

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Starting Pitcher

The time for chalking things up to “just April shenanigans” has come and gone, and we here at RotoBaller felt that it was time for a rankings update with roughly 20 percent of the season in the books. Of course, now we’re closer to 25 percent but don’t worry -- we’ll always bring you the […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Wow, we’re already past the middle of May. Time flies when you’re…confused. We're still bumbling through some early storylines and wondering what to make of folks like Jason Vargas, Andrew Triggs, A.J. Griffin, Ervin Santana, Mike Leake, etc. But for right now, all we can do is look at what else is available and pad […]
