Week 6 Buy and Sell for Fantasy Baseball

Good week on the buy side, as Ian Kennedy shut down the Indians and Marcus Semien went deep twice. Not a great showing on the sell half, though, as both Mark Trumbo and Jaime Garcia continued to impress. Still bearish on both long-term, but credit where it’s due. Once more unto the breach, dear friends. […]

AL-Only League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week Six: Smoak, Pearce, Karns and More

Week 6 Waiver Wire: Outfield

The most powerful tool in fantasy baseball is, well, power. The home run dominates fantasy unlike any other product. A home run gives your team a home run, a run scored, an uptick in BA and OBP and one or more RBI. Power is a commodity that many owners are willing to sacrifice quality ballplayers […]

Khris Davis (OF, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For Khris Davis, the move from Milwaukee to Oakland in the off-season wasn't a fantasy-friendly one in terms of ballpark or supporting cast.

Overrated/Underrated Week 6: Time To Sell These Studs?

A huge part of succeeding in fantasy baseball is being able to spot market inefficiencies and knowing how to exploit them.

Marcus Semien (OAK, SS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Oakland offense is no juggernaut, but Marcus Semien has been hot lately.
