Goldman Sachs is taking a somewhat contrarian view on the longer-term outlook for inflation. The global banking and investment giant is expecting a core inflation rate of 4.3% in the U.S. at the end of this year, followed by a drop to 3% in June 2022 and 2.15% by December 2022. Yahoo!Finance editor Brian Sozzi points to several factors informing Goldman Sachs’ analysis: “First is an improved supply of semiconductors as manufacturers such as Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor ramp up… Source link

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

We all left our March drafts thinking that we had the starting point of a championship roster. Two months later, some of us have proven to be right while others were dead wrong. This article is dedicated to those in 8th place. Or 10th place. Or even 12th place! Things haven’t gone well, and you’re thinking of giving up. After all, football draft season is just a couple months away and there’s no sense in wasting even more time on a losing fantasy baseball team, right? Wrong!!! Dead… Source link

With so many fantasy baseball teams to my name, I regularly navigate the waiver wire on a wide variety of websites. And in all honesty, I find player searches on the Yahoo wire to be as good as that of any platform. Here is my process for finding a free agent gem in the Yahoo system. To be clear, I do ALL of these sorts before choosing someone to add. When I need a hitter 1. Sort by at-bats in the past seven days. In mixed leagues, rostered players should be in the lineup most days. 2. Sort by… Source link

While I typically write articles giving micro-level advice on which players to add via trade or free agency, I have lately been dabbling in process-related pieces. This is another in that series, which includes recent pieces on how I evaluate hitters and pitchers. For this article, I’m going to cover a typical 24 hour-span and how I manage my teams. Most of my teams are in leagues with weekly roster transactions. The exception is the Yahoo Friends & Family league, which has constant waivers… Source link

Last week I discussed my process for adding free-agent hitters. If you thought that process was confusing just wait until we dive in on pitchers. With hurlers, there is constantly a sample-size issue. Luck sometimes plays a major factor in the ERA and WHIP for relievers who throw just one inning per appearance. And with starters pitching just once every 5-6 days, we need several weeks before seeing a consistent trend. But we can’t wait weeks to add interesting pitchers, or else the rest of… Source link

Special to Yahoo Sports With the NHL trade deadline done and the start of fantasy playoffs in many leagues, things are getting intense. If you’ve made it this far, then there’s some sort of pressure — even if you have a bye this week (or two, like the person who wrote this column). As long as you stick to what you’ve been doing, things will turn out fine. Or not. As this is a shortened season, I’ll try not to repeat any previous entries for the remainder of the campaign. That may be difficult… Source link

Josh Jackson (pictured) is a player that could be picked up in some leagues on the waiver wire. (Getty Images) We have teams shutting down players to organise trades, we have games postponed due to weather and COVID, and we have injuries cropping up at an alarming rate. It’s tough out there for a fantasy manager, but I will highlight some waiver wire options for you in Yahoo Standard fantasy leagues, which can hopefully ease your path to a championship. Under 70% Rostered (10 Team League… Source link

Florida’s 2020 season began with a lot of promise, but it ended in a disappointing fashion. The Gators lost all three of their final games, and instead of contending for the College Football Playoff, they finished 8-4. Now, UF enters the 2021 season having to replace a lot on both sides of the ball. It loses starting quarterback Kyle Trask, all three of its top receivers, its best defensive lineman in Kyree Campbell and more. Naturally, analysts have some questions about Florida heading… Source link
