Getting Ahead in Head to Head, Week 3: Tsut Tsut Tsutsugo
September 16, 2021 | Fantasy Baseball Head-to-Head Leagues |by: NateMarcum
The Fantasy Baseball Head to Head season is coming to an end. We can all hope that it goes the way of some other amazing finishes, like MASH, Breaking Bad, and Parks and Rec. I feel it is my sole responsibility to deliver the goods this week so that your Head to Head finish isn’t reminiscent of the final episode of Game of Thrones or Quantum Leap. So Sam Beckett could have always lept back home, and he ultimately never did? Huh? That is the equivalent of Vlad Jr being forced to jump into the body of Matt Carpenter to get his batting average over the Mendoza mark, and never choose to return to his glorious MVP self. Oh well.
Contrary to other weeks, depending on your league format and assuming it isn’t a keeper-based league, you can now just drop any player that can’t help you, or won’t hurt you by your opponent adding them. If you have a starter pitching on Wednesday or later, you can drop him after their start and move on to the next guy. This weeks’ schedule is filled with tricks and treats that should help you gain an edge over your competitor if you can strike while the iron is hot. And I am not using that reference as an homage to that garbage fest of a finale in Game of Thrones. Don’t get me wrong, the show had to end, but it was as if the MLB condensed the entire playoffs into a game of Strat-O-Matic.
So what can we look for in this final week?
9-Game Week: Cleveland (2-Double Headers)
8-Game Week: St. Louis & Chicago White Sox
5-Game Week: New York Mets & Boston
Interleague Matchups
MIA @ TB. (MIA gains DH)
BAL @ PHI (BAL loses DH) – Monitor Anthony Santander
NYM @ BOS (NYM gains DH)
MINN @ CHC (MINN loses DH) – Monitor Josh Donaldson
Please, blog, may I have some more?
