Thirteen weeks down, lucky number thirteen. Fitting then that we will open today by talking about “win luck”. Now, Rudy will tell you that Wins are actually predictable as shown by his Ombotsman. While the data and the bots may tell you this, as a human, it still seems like they are luck-based, do they […]

I audibly gasped when I opened up the DraftKings app tonight to start prepping for Tuesday’s slate. We don’t see too many million dollar contests for MLB DFS, but Tuesday’s 12 game slate will mark one of the only such contests this year. My wife pleaded with me not to drop the 60k max entry […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week on the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don start the show with Orelvis Martinez’s fertility issues. We move on to discuss the call ups of the week in Heston Kjerstad, Angel Martinez, and Ben Rice. We talk about how amazing Royce Lewis is and where he might fall among the rankings next […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Heston Kjerstad went 2-for-4, as he was re-called up by the O’s to not play. I mean, they didn’t say that, but how does the old saying go: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m still blaming you. Fool me five, six, seven times by calling up rookies and never playing […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! It’s been a week since the 2024 Father’s Day chaos, and the dust is starting to settle in MarmoVille. According to Alice Cooper, school’s almost out for summer, and we’re headed to the mid-point of our MLB season. What better time to get ourselves ready for a beautiful beach scene? I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s the run up to the 4th of July! These summer holidays are great ways to gauge your team. Pre-Memorial Day is when your veterans play. 4th of July is when you start rostering hot players on bad teams in hopes of a trade. Do we have a holiday in August? I suppose back to school is a holiday. When the kids are back in class, that’s when the cups of coffee propel your team to playoff victory. I’m not Nostradamus — I can’t see the July trade deadline moves any better than you can. But what I can do, is give you my weekly three adds and cast some shade on a player. Let’s see if we can help your team!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Howdy, y’all, and happy belated Summer Solstice. Everything in my home city of Milwaukee screams summer right now. Summerfest, one of the world’s largest music festivals, kicked off festivities this weekend; farmers’ markets are back in full swing; street festivals and bike races are closing roads all over the city. When it comes right down […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Orelvis Martinez was hit with an 80-game suspension, which is just a perfect encapsulation of the Jays’ season. It’s the Curse of Ohtani’s Plane is In-Flight to Toronto. Highly touted rookie comes up, plays in his 1st MLB game, 24 hours later, suspended for 80 games. That’s the land-speed record for PEDs. Was he taking […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?In our up and down world of fantasy baseball, identifying when to sell high on players benefiting from a streak of good fortune can be the difference between winning and losing your league. Every season brings its share of breakout stars, but also features players whose performance outpaces their underlying metrics. Recognizing these lucky streaks and capitalizing on them by moving players at their peak value can help you build a championship roster. In this week’s rendition of Hitter Profiles, we dive into the art of selling high on overperforming players, ensuring you stay ahead of your league and maximize your team’s potential.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We usually do a better job evaluating the pitchers than the hitters when it comes to streamers, but we crushed it with the bats last week. The pitchers were all over the map, but that has me motivated to bounce back this week. It looks like we have a stacked schedule, with the majority of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Astros OF Joey Loperfido appears to have finally earned a lineup spot. Man that took forever, didn’t it? Or maybe I’ve just been in the sun too long these past couple days. Warps time a bit.
Athletics 3B Armando Alvarez was called up to take the place of 3B Abraham Toro. He’s 29 years old, so he’s unlikely to become a core piece for Oakland’s build, but I think he’s got at least a chance to stick around in a Joey Meneses kind of way. His past three seasons have netted positive wRC+ scores of 117 in 2022, 125 in 2023, and 132 in 2024, all in Triple-A as he stalled out waiting for a major league opportunity with the Yankees, Giants and Athletics. Unlike Meneses and a lot of these late-stage DH types, Alvarez provides solid defense at the hot corner. Over his last 20 games, he’s slashing .388/.456/.663 with five home runs and one stolen base.
