Head-to-head leagues seem to be a constant source of ridicule in the fantasy baseball realm. That doesn’t mean you should believe the hype. My big-money home league is a H2H league.

Fantasy Baseball 2022 Preview: Seam-Shifted Sleepers

It’s always beneficial to find areas of information to leverage before the crowd does, and fantasy baseball is no different.
