Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 7

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

Fantasy Baseball Op Ed - Game of Thrones Edition

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube (hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones. I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

Managers can easily make decisions to affect their team positively, but often they're too hesitant, cautious, or even scared. Sometimes you have to make the hard choice to choose a player in the right circumstance to produce. These are the best players when we start streaming. We look at the matchups and other variables to […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 7

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Nomar Mazara Sits For Saturday Night Matchup

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara is riding the pine Saturday night versus Astros starter Gerrit Cole. He's 1-for-16 versus Cole with 10 strikeouts and is also in a 4-for-33 funk at the dish. It's a good day for Mazara to clear his head on the sideline after producing a lowly .220/.283/.417 slash line to date. […]

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 […]

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 […]

In addition, shortstop prospect Chris Seise (shoulder) had labrum […]

Shelby Miller Could Be Skipped For Next Turn

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Drew Smyly is scheduled to make his next appearance on Saturday on the road against the Houston Astros.

Chris Martin To Close In Texas

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Chris Martin will close with Shawn Kelley (infection) on the injured list, in the opinion of MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan.
