Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 1

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (4/7/17): MLB DFS Advice

I can't really explain how excited I am that baseball is back. This week actually feels surreal with basketball, that big golf event down at Augusta, and the boys of summer returning to the diamond.

Holds Leagues: Waiver Wire Pickups for Week One

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Lineup Picks (4/6/17): MLB DFS Advice

The Thursday slate is an interesting one on FanDuel as there a number of different slates. Thus, rather than limiting ourselves, I’ll list my favorite plays across the entire slate (to get my input on a specific slate, feel free to find me on Twitter @DanMarcus3). Pitching is noticeably bad on this slate, so it […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire: Catchers

The first week of the baseball season is maddening in so many ways. The schedule stops and starts worse than a senior citizen driver who isn't sure if the light is turning red or not. Judging players in these first few days is difficult. It also means that people shouldn't make any snap judgments yet. […]

Streaming Wars: Waiver Wire Targets for April 5th

Over the offseason, there was much ado about the home run surge of 2016. Would it continue into 2017 or was regression looming?

Baseball Award Predictions that (Probably) Won't Come True

My least favorite type of baseball articles to read are preseason predictions for awards. Nobody in their right mind is going to pick against Mike Trout for AL MVP and there's a very narrow population of players that are considered in the NL. It's not exactly informative to hear someone say, "Clayton Kershaw has a […]

Blake Treinen (RP, WAS) - Closers and Saves Draft and Waiver Targets

BALLER MOVE: Draft / Add in All Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: At last, the speculation is over. Blake Treinen has officially been announced as the closer for the Washington Nationals. Not Shawn Kelley, and not Koda Glover (gasp!). If you are in a league that values saves, go add him now. If you […]

Anthony Rendon's Secret Star Turn

A critical part of draft season is finding value, and that value can present itself in a lot of different ways. Sometimes it's a prospect that the rest of your league missed or a pitcher that is about to make the jump from good to great, but in many cases, that value can be had […]

Third Base ADPs - Overvalued and Undervalued

In my starting pitchers’ piece, I noted how I wanted top starting pitchers, but very few had an ADP at or lower than my rankings. Thus, in order to fill my goal of acquiring top starting pitchers, I had to search for relative value; those who had ADPs close to my rankings became relative values. […]

Jim Turvey's 10 Bold Predictions for 2017

One of my favorite preseason series here at RotoBaller has been the “10 Bold Predictions” series. It allows authors to pump up a few of the players and teams they like (and deflate the guys they dislike), while also going on record with actual stats and metrics. Be sure to check out just how wonky […]
