Week 15 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

Here we are, the All Star Break is upon us just like that. Okay yeah, technically games will play the day that this is published, but that doesn’t sound nice. Our marching orders here remain the same, looking at some low-owned starting pitchers who are worth discussing for better or worse. That is to say, […]

Mid-Season Dynasty Prospect Rankings: Shortstops

If you came to me eight years ago and asked about the depth at shortstop, I would tell you that aside from a few stud prospects, the shortstop position did not look great. There weren’t a lot of impact bats and there were mostly just some slick defenders at the position. Now all of that […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It's Week 14 of the season and it's also the final full week before the All-Star Break. I think the All-Star catcher of the waiver wire would be J.T. Realmuto. He went from being an after-thought to crossing our cutoff line not once, but twice. Keep it up, J.T.! We're proud of you here at RotoBaller. […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 48% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: We can all laugh about Marcus Semien's bumbling efforts to play shortstop, but that isn't stopping him from hitting for nice power yet again in 2016. Semien may not be hitting more or getting on base as much as he did […]

Daniel Mengden (SP, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues Owned in: 25% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Even though he has drawn praise for his "Rollie Fingers-esque" mustache, Daniel Mengden is still one of the least appreciated pitchers in the MLB right now. The 23-year old Texas A&M alum has made five starts for the A's and has […]

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 14 (American League)

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/1/16): MLB DFS Advice

Tonight, the San Francisco Giants are going to hammer Shelby Miller. That is just a fact of life. Sorry, Arizona Diamondback fans. As a quick tip for FanDuel users that happen to also play over on DraftKings, the Colorado Rockies are currently priced as if Clayton Kershaw were going to take the mound. This is […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (7/1/16): MLB DFS Advice

DraftKings prices came out before Clayton Kershaw was placed on the DL. That means the Rockies price tags are all extremely low, such as Carlos Gonzalez, who is only $3.4k tonight. Instead of a dreadful matchup against Kershaw, they get a good matchup against Bud Norris, and they may be a team to use tonight. […]

Week 13 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

You’re not going to believe this, but Carlos Correa had a pretty phenomenal week and Whit Merrifield did not. Zach Davies’ ratios weren’t pretty in his last start, but he did strike out nine batters in only five innings. Conversely, while Jason Hammel produced a quality start against the Marlins, he struck out only three […]

Marcus Semien (SS, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43 percent of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Shortstop has been a stronger position in fantasy than usual this season, but it's still surprising to see Marcus Semien available in the majority of leagues. After all, he's hit more homers than Carlos Correa and driven in more runs than […]
