The 4th of July is upon us, and I hope you are all enjoying quality time with family and friends. As the calendar hits July, let’s take a look at some middle infielders whose fantasy value is exploding with value or fizzling out as we approach the All-Star break: Isaac Paredes – Rays: Overall has […]

Vegas’ oddsmakers have this year’s mark set at 73.5. I’m going under. Sorry, this is meant to help your most important 4th of July DFS. That was Joey Chestnut’s previous seven years with this year’s O/U. You don’t bet on the Glizzy King? Damn, y’all un-American! Oh, I see, you saw this post was about the Reds, and thought we were talking Commies. The borscht eating contest is on May 1st, you missed it! So, Andrew Abbott (7 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 1.21) keeps rolling. His command (3.1 BB/9) is not as bad as I worried as it might be. Could MLB hitters have no idea to wait on their pitch? Maybe. His fly ball tendency (59.7%), home park and homers allowed in the minors still has me running like I’m Uncle Baby Billy from a wife. The 93 MPH fastball has produced a .152 BAA, which is goofy low, producing a 20 Launch Angle. He is doing it, so there’s something to it, but he’s one of the luckiest pitchers currently. Regression is going to come faster than heartburn for Chestnut. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

Greetings and salutations, barflys. In a couple days, I’m sure the majority of you will be grilling hotdogs, attending parades, drinkin’ brewskis, maybe seeing some fireworks or– here’s a novel idea– a baseball game. But until then, we have some fantasy rosters to set. It came up in the comments last week so I thought […]

Between the Rays benching Wander France for some immaturity and his recent performance, there are some concerning signs with Mr. Ray. One of the most challenging parts of rankings is balancing the potential that we want to realize and the reality of a player’s performance. Wander has been benched in Kevin Cash’s world and unfortunately while he is actually playing he has been almost less valuable. Over the last two weeks, Wander has been top five in infield flies, while hitting nearly 60% ground balls. At least he has been running wild with the steals while he has been scuffling at the plate. Wander might be one of the most talented hitters in the league, but translating that talent to results is just as important. He is still a great piece for the rest of the season, but he may be holding himself back. Let’s jump into the top 100 hitters for the rest of the fantasy baseball season to see who else is shaking up our ranks.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week would have been awesome if JP Sears and Garrett Whitlock didn’t disappoint us. We got some gems from the other three pitchers and a lovely week from Leody Taveras in the hitting section. It’s much easier to recommend pitchers than hitters because the matchups are much more valuable when examining the differing variables. […]

81 games into the season, Cincinnati is tied with Milwaukee for first in the National League Central.Joey Votto returned with a few home runs in his first week but is 0-for-13 in his last three games. Makes me sad to think he might be blocking a better hitter from helping his team win the division.

With the 2023 season turning to July, we are entering what I consider the holiday season of the MLB calendar. Sure, the Fourth is a real-life holiday, but the All Star Game and related break (along with me filling that break by despondently watching paint dry during a baseball-less hellscape) plus trade deadline add some […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There are certain players who you know are a top dynasty keeper is an obvious choice. Take for example Elly De La Cruz in Cincinnati or Josh Jung with the Rangers. Then there are the players who slowly work their way into the conversation of being a top dynasty keeper.
This week, we are going to focus on both types of players – and both of them are pitchers for the Miami Marlins.
Eury Perez is the obvious choice as a top fantasy keeper. A former top 20 prospect, he is dominating the competition at this point of the season.
The second player is Braxton Garrett, a former top 100 prospect who kind of fell off the radar. But given a chance to cement a spot in the Marlins rotation this year, Garrett has proven to be a solid pitcher and one worthy of being considered a top fantasy keeper.
Let’s get right to it and dive into a deeper look at Perez and Garrett.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Matt Olson wasted no time starting Atlanta’s rout of the Marlins on Friday night with a soaring 424-foot two-run bomb in the first inning to put his team ahead 3-0. The Braves never looked back, and Olson’s teammates did their best to match Matt’s power stroke, “Oh, we’re really doing this are we?” That was […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings and salutations, Razzballers! Can you believe the All-Star Break is in two weeks (either because this season has felt immensely short or long)? Speaking of the All-Star Break, was there anyone you hoped to see or are surprised to see? Aaron Judge is, forever, on the All-Star roster. I wrote a quick blurb below […]

Brian Anderson swings and misses. “One.” Brian Anderson swings and misses. “Two.” …dissolve to later…Brian Anderson swings and misses. “Uh, I lost count because you dissolved to later. What? It was only a five-second dissolve? So, that’s swing number three? Why dissolve then? Well, whatever the case, I’m no longer counting the licks it takes to get to Sal Frelick.” So, when a guy is behind Brian Anderson and is in his 2nd year of Triple-A and he’s 23 and would immediately become the best contact hitter in the Brewers’ lineup and how many “ands” do I need to do here? Am I counting Licks or Ands? Oh, and he has 35+ steal speed and has some pop and could be the best OBP in the MLB lineup behind maybe only Christian Yelich who’s ~.360. I could go on with the Ands. Like all of us besides our one conjoined twins reader, there’s one but here — but he’s not on the 40-man roster. So, we tweedle our thumbs. Speaking of thumbs, Frelick had thumb surgery in April and likely why he’s even in the minors. He could and should be promoted soon. Three. That’s the number of licks to get to Sal Frelick. Anyway, here’s some more players for Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:

Well, we’ve made it, friends — we’ve officially just passed the halfway point of the season. While we may still see a few Marcus Semien-in-2022-esque turnarounds, I think we’re beyond the point of being able to blame our teams’ struggles on a handful of players getting off to a bad start, and our team’s strengths […]
