Fantasy Baseball: Targeted Streaming for RHPs

By | at

Hello, friends.

Last week, we dove into one of my favorite areas to leverage in fantasy, the always titillating team splits. I'll hold for applause.

And, we're back! Splits might not be anything fancy, but they remain one of the surest bets to guide your decision-making in which pitchers to start, whether in year-long or daily fantasy. Year after year, it's proven that just because a team has a good offense overall, it doesn't guarantee they have equal success against both hands of pitchers. And in those gaps, streaming magic awaits.

Fantasy Baseball: Targeted Streaming for LHPs

By | at

Hello, friends.

Considering we're well past Stabilization Day, let's check in on one of my favorite topics to leverage for fantasy success: team splits. This might not be late-breaking news and/or rocket science but attacking teams via their performances with different splits continues to be one of the easiest ways to guide your streaming decisions.

Fantasy Baseball: The New CSW Darlings

By | at

Hello, friends.

As I end a three-day fog of little kids' softball games, swim meets, and birthday parties, let's use one of my (and many people's) favorite pitching stats to predict future success, CSW%.

CSW% is lovely not only for its usefulness but also for the sheer simplicity. You take a pitcher's called strikes, add them to his swinging ones, and divide by their total pitches. Bingo-bango, you have CSW%, a stat that consistently has some of the highest returns when it comes to predicting strikeout rates.

Fantasy Baseball: New Stars?

By | at

Hello, friends.

I come to you deep from within the family bunker, relishing these last few hours before summer "vacation" activities get fully rolling in the morning. For new (or not yet) parents, let this serve as a PSA: summer vacation is a lie. In particular, during June, because everyone just lo-ooves to pack everything in right away. It's a hellscape; please take heed when scheduling.

Anywell, baseball. We're now at the third pole, and there's no time like the present to make definitive and grandiose statements about fantasy players. With that in mind, let's take two of the players mentioned frequently in my chats this season (11 am CT on Thursdays) and put our foot down. No more hemming, and certainly no more hawing. We're calling the fight.

These two guys got the goods, dude.

Fantasy Baseball: Stash Party

By | at

Hello, friends.

With just one week until the calendar flips to June, you know what that means -- that's right, we're only seven days away from me dressing up like Pikachu for our son's second-annual Pokemon birthday party so a whole pack of feral six-year-olds can throw homemade Pokeballs at me. Please, keep me in your thoughts.

*This will end the official costume count for the school year, with PikaNick joining DumbleNick(2x), Giggles McNickels the Leprechaun, and the Tin Diesel Man. 

This time of year also means that prospect cash-in season is picking up steam again after the first waves have passed. Pressing team needs (but definitely not service clock manipulation), mean more and more top prospects will soon be hitting the field. With that in mind, let's look at a handful of guys who could be getting the call soon.
