The Double Dip: Fantasy baseball 2-start pitchers for the week
We’re back again for this week’s fantasy baseball Double Dip — highlighting pitchers making two starts in a week. Some of the plays may be obvious — you don’t need a 1,000-word soliloquy highlighting why it’s a good idea to start Jacob deGrom twice. You just do it. But volume is key, especially two-start-pitcher volume. […]

Pitchers to Stream for Week 24
As the fantasy baseball season winds down, more teams are pressing for strikeouts and wins while ditching relievers due to their lack of volume and contribution in those respective categories. With only a few weeks remaining in the season, it becomes tougher to gain or lose much ground in saves, thus another reason why fantasy […]

Week 23 Fantasy Baseball FAAB Check-In
The calendar is about to flip to September with remaining FAAB budgets proving just that. The majority of teams likely have a budget of around 100 dollars or less. Due to that, most of the players listed won’t have a wide range in budget allocations with the bulk amount of bids being sub-1%. Continuing to […]

Week 21 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
It is now difficult to watch a pitcher take the mound. Ratios continue to balloon with it deflating points. The lack of quality being rostered along with the lack of quality on the free agency market has fantasy owners scrambling, becoming more and more desperate to find somebody decent enough that they aren’t destroying your […]

Week 20 fantasy baseball FAAB check-in
Pitching ratios are growing by the day and the length of pitchers’ outings is shrinking, creating a weak supply of wins. Teams are starving for the win and will stream and start nothing but starting pitchers. The save category becomes less desirable to some as many teams realize they can’t gain much more in saves […]

With the trade deadline approaching next weekend, this would be the week to try to make cheap speculative bids on players that could have a positive role change once the deadline is over.
