Let’s take a look around the league, quick hitter style: • Adolis Garcia homered again Tuesday, giving him a whopping 15 on the year. His Statcast numbers back up his strong start, and he’s also running (five steals). Garcia went undrafted across all leagues in NFBC’s Main Event, yet he’s been a top-10 fantasy player so far this season. Remarkable. His 46/8 K/BB ratio suggests batting average could be a problem moving forward, but Garcia has been as good as waiver wire pickups can… Source link

After preaching patience during the initial weeks of the season, I need to change my tune. In roughly one week, the MLB season will be one-third of the way to the finish line. And although the roughly 70 percent of games that remain as of today give fantasy managers plenty of time to make progress, we have entered a key phase of the season where tough decisions need to be made on each roster member. Here are some big names to acquire and a few overachievers to send packing. Players to… Source link

After recently taking a look at starting pitchers using CSW, let’s now use it to examine relievers. The Good CSW He had a 5.10 expected ERA last season but has turned into a legit ace reliever this year (1.14 xERA). Adam Ottavino has stolen just one save, as Barnes is locked in as closer on a surprising first-place Boston team. CSW says there’s no need for the Red Sox to bring in a closer at the deadline (or for you to try to trade him in fantasy leagues). Aroldis Chapman, New York Yankees… Source link

Entering Week 8 of the MLB season, let’s use CSW (my favorite quick and dirty stat) to identify pitchers whose strong (or slow) starts appear real (or not). I used 250 pitches thrown as the qualifying threshold. The Good CSW Corbin Burnes, Milwaukee Brewers (No. 1 in CSW) He leads all starters by a significant margin, as if you needed further proof his ridiculous start was real. He finally walked his first batter of the season during his return from the IL last week, but a 58:1 K:BB line will… Source link

I try to stay open-minded as a fantasy player and a fantasy analyst. And I’ll openly admit, I love unicorns. Lamar Jackson’s MVP season was a blast. Ichiro Suzuki, sui generis. When Tim Anderson won a batting title despite 15 piddly walks, I thought it was awesome. You do you, Timmy. But it’s easy to remember the outlier approaches that succeed. Sometimes outlier approaches fail miserably, or at least tax and torment us. Transition to today’s problem: what the heck do we do with Dallas… Source link

Dylan Bundy deserves your patience After getting lit up over the weekend, Bundy sits with an ugly 5.03 ERA. The poor outing came against a Dodgers offense that entered with the second-best wRC+ in baseball, and the game featured a whopping 25 runs scored. Bundy still has a 1.14 WHIP, ranks top-25 in CSW and is in the top 10% of the league in fastball spin rate and Hard Hit%, so you should absolutely add him if he was dropped in your fantasy league. He has a 3.09 expected ERA and has had to… Source link
