Tarik Skubal (7 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits, zero walks, 13 Ks, ERA at 2.37) pitched like the ace he is. This is not shortchanging that (which is what I say when I’m about to shortchange someone), but the Reds’ lineup is hilariously awful. They have a .150 hitter hitting 5th, .183 hitter in the […]

One last batch of two start pitchers before we hit the All-Star break. Looks can be deceiving, but the options are much more appealing than they were last week. The Sugar Cookies are an odd group this week, seeing a combination of struggling stars, surprising youngsters, and at least one old standby I never expected […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we approach the end of the first half of the baseball season, it’s time to look ahead to what the second half might bring. After the All-Star break, we can aleast expect some intriguing developments. Here at Razzball, we love to make bold predictions at the beginning of each season and now we are hitting it midstream. Today, for our hitter profiles, I’m sharing some predictions for the second half. Some of these are optimistic, while others might be a bit painful (sorry Jeimer), but it’s all in good fun as we gear up for an exciting second half of the baseball season. Join us for this week’s Hitter Profiles as we boldly go into the second half!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week’s results were satisfactory, but we’re not aiming for that. It was one of my worst weeks of the year, but that won’t happen this week. This is one of the best weeks of streamers I’ve seen all season, and I can’t wait to dive into the options. With that in mind, let’s start […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. Rays 3B Junior Caminero | 20 | IL
Strained his quad in late May and was expected to miss four-to-six weeks. Tampa is 4.5 games out of the final wild card spot as of Saturday morning and already sold Aaron Civale, but that was about opening a spot for Baz as much as anything else.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In preparation of writing about Alek Thomas below, I re-visited this piece in Week 1 and was struck by how much the tenants laid out there remain true this week, well into the thick of the MLB schedule. What those suggestions (review playing time, spend early, examine schedules, and scout your fantasy league) boil down […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was an unstoppable force (the Grimace Mets) meets an immovable object (Rowdy Tellez – 2 for 4, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 2 Runs) in the box Friday night in Pittsburgh and Rowdy held his ground knocking two dingers including a grand salami. Also double donging in this one was Brian Reynolds (4 for 5, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to another week of Razzball Ambulance Chasers! I hope your fingers are intact after the explosion holiday. I will tell you what isn’t intact: groins! hamstrings! elbows! wrists! It’s a veritable mixture of body parts in this week’s Ambulance Chasers. Let’s jump in. Notable Injuries AL East Isiah Kiner-Falefa (2B/3B/SS/OF), knee: Well folks, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shane Baz two weeks ago, Robbie Ray last week, Jeffrey Springs this week. I know what you’re thinking, Kershaw next week, or Senga or Eduardo Rodriguez or some injured pitcher. No, this is it. I don’t have fantasy baseball Florence Nightingale syndrome. The dog days are not over! Wait, that’s Florence & the Machine. Well, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a safe and sane Independence Day, and that you are finding a way to stay cool if you’re in an area where summer is hitting in a fast and furious manner. We still have a couple weeks before the All Star Game, so if your fantasy teams need […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s good to be back in the Analytics Anonymous classroom talking fantasy baseball after a short time away. Like many of you, summer is the time for family vacations and if we’re lucky, time away from the phone and Google machine. That’s what it was like for me recently and alas, will be again the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?DFS changed for me when I realized I had to play for first place to 1) ever make any real money 2) be a winning player at all. DFS contests are top heavy. I have been fortunate to take down several big tourneys in my career (including last night), and when I am not taking […]
