Saves. A simple category in all roto and category leagues across fantasy baseball to give relief pitchers value, yet, they are one of the most coveted and difficult to obtain. Check out this article to find the widely available closers and setup men you should be targeting in order to increase your saves total.
After making his MLB debut in 2018 the former top prospect for the Braves is having a stellar 2019 season to start the year. In 2018 Mike Soroka made his first MLB start on May 1st against the New York Mets.
The Scorecrow is proud to bring you our DEEP DIVE Series, featuring in-depth player analysis on whoever we want to write about. Our goal is to bring you the most accurate and easily digestible fantasy content to keep you up-to-date with trending players and potential buying opportunities. Baseball is a long season and can be hard to keep up with. Let us be your guide.
It has now been over a calendar year, and Jose Ramirez is not in a “slump” he is just not a good baseball player right now. With Cleveland stumbling out of the gate and having a banged-up rotation, this is not good for the Indians.
Today in our series of “Deep Dive” articles, I take a look at Joey Gallo and what has contributed to his success at the plate this season.
Joey Gallo has been known for one thing throughout his short career thus far: power. His career high in batting average was when he hit .209 in 2017. Some people can get away with this over the course of their career, but as a fan of baseball, it can be frustrating when you just need a single to bring it a run and Joey Gallo strikes out on a 57-footer. So far in 2019, it looks as though Joey Gallo put in work during the offseason in order to improve his plate vision.
When Josh Bell first made his MLB debut three years ago, the expectations were sky high. Bell was supposed to anchor the Pirates lineup for years to come and contributed right away. After hitting a career-high twenty-six home runs in 2017 Bell only hit twelve last year. He was inconsistent at times and failed to be the Pirates power threat on a team in dire need. In the second half, however, Bell improved providing hope for the future. He has carried that success into 2019 in dominating fashion. His start is even more impressive considering the adversity this team has already faced.
You know the rules: the seven best hitters of the week.
The former top prospect for the Dodgers, Alex Verdugo hasn’t had many opportunities to take over a starting role for the Dodgers. This season with the departures of Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig (via trade) he has received more playing time and has flourished in his new role.
Week seven of the fantasy baseball season has now concluded and Christian Yelich ONLY has 19 home runs. What a bust, right? Of course, the best place to improve your fantasy team is through the buy low and sell high transactions of barter.
Rules are around for a reason. I have a few rules when I look at streamer picks, not only for myself but for when I do this article as well. I don’t pick Rockies pitchers. I don’t pick pitchers pitching in Colorado visiting. I typically don’t pick prospects pitching in their first game up unless they’re elite talents facing an excellent matchup. And I don’t pick pitchers coming off of injury unless they’re a number one or two fantasy starter facing an excellent matchup, which you normally wouldn’t get in a streamer option anyway. Well, I decided to pick Steven Matz for us all anyway, and he proceeded to get decimated by the Marlins. THE MARLINS?!? He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in 3.2 innings pitched, though he at least got six strikeouts out of the ordeal. It just goes to show you, kids: follow the rules, especially the ones you put on yourself. They’re usually there for a reason.
Fantasy Baseball is hard. Streaming Two-Start Pitchers off the Waiver Wire is even harder. Please read out Streamer of the Week for Week 8.
Saturday is poised to have a full slate of baseball spanning from the early afternoon to the wee hours of the night. In order to help you prepare for the seven-game night slate, let’s break down the players that will put some money in your pocket.
