The biggest difference from last week’s Fri-Sun slate is that every team plays three games this weekend. So your start/sit decisions could be made a bit more difficult. A tad more nuance might be required. The sheet is linked RIGHT HERE. Ace pitchers on a day of extra rest… Jacob deGrom was pushed back a…
Okay folks, here’s your snapshot of the first part of next week (Monday through Thursday). I realize I’m not giving you a full week’s picture here. I’m operating under the assumption that you can manage your team…mostly. I’m hoping to “fine tooth comb” things a bit, and see what sticks out in certain matchups. You…
We are workin’ for the weekend, folks. And don’t judge me by the song reference, it was before my time. Anyway, you can find the link to the weekend’s hitting planner RIGHT HERE. I hope it helps with lineup-setting. Maybe not as much of an overarching view given that it’s only three days instead of…
You can find the link to this week’s hitting planner RIGHT HERE. Jorge, Micah, and I are willing to tag-team this thing each week if it actually seems to help enough people out. There are four possible games for this early part of the week, and the sheet is color-coded by the volume of games…
You know what I’m guilty of? These meandering, 2,500 word articles where I’m super-thorough and obsessive over everything. The end result is they either never get published, or they take forever to get published and in the meantime there’s no content coming out that helps anyone. I’m saying it publicly before moving on: I need…
The pandemic meant that last year didn’t happen. But we are hopping back up on that proverbial horse this year. In order to compete in daily fantasy’s duel of the degenerates, some simple criteria must be met: You produce fantasy baseball content (writing, podcasting, etc.) You are willing to pony up $100 to play. And…
Jack Flaherty (vs. WAS) and Zac Gallen (@ COL) take the mound on Sunday, but you don’t need to learn anything about those two aces. Instead, let’s take a look at a pair of arms worth monitoring as Spring Training begins this weekend. NATHAN EOVALDI @ MINNESOTA TWINSFebruary NFBC ADP: 222.85 Eovaldi currently headlines the…
Am I missing something with Christian Walker? I think I love him at his ADP of 200, as he checks off plenty of boxes I like. For starters, I see a plenty of volume in his future, as well as a premium batting order slot. He’s also stolen a handful of bags on occasion, and…
The 150-170 range is an appealing area for me to target a catcher in 2021. Travis d’Arnaud, Daulton Varsho, and Christian Vazquez all make for quality targets depending on team needs and league format. But I remain most intrigued by the bottom of this grouping, in Sean Murphy. On average, Murphy is being drafted closer…
Today I’m exploring a plate discipline metric known as swinging strike rate (SwStr%). And to clarify, I’m talking hitters, not pitchers. The cool thing about swinging strike rate is that it is calculated on a per-pitch basis. So even in a shortened season, it’s a bit stickier than other research we could focus on, and…
