Joey Ricotta| June 24th, 2019
A small slate of games on deck for tonight with one potential rain out. The New York Yankees are huge favorites at home. Meanwhile, the wind should be blowing heavily straight out to center at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Let’s take a look at some core plays and stacks for tonight that can help us maneuver around the madness we call DFS. Continue reading
Two-Start Pitchers: Week 13 (6/24 – 6/30) and Streamer of the Week
Matt Bishop | June 24, 2019
STREAMER OF THE WEEK
Adam Plutko, SP CLE
(48% CBS, 4% ESPN, 10% Yahoo)
(3-1) 4.55 ERA 1.12 WHIP 7.16 K/9 0.98 BB/9
16.8% K-BB% 2.93 HR/9
Adam Plutko is 27 and only has 108.0 innings of major league service on his resume, but he has been relatively solid since his call up on 5/18 and could be a nice fill in this week. While his ERA is drastically inflated from a 7 run outing on 5/23, his peripherals (4.55 ERA 6.24 FIP 5.03 xFIP) are greatly skewed by a 2.93 HR/9, which is the 9th worst rate in baseball (minimum 20 IP). But there is hope: Continue reading
Dominant Closers: The Kirby Yates Edition
Alex Kielar | June 22, 2019
If someone would have told me before the season that Kirby Yates would have converted 26 of 26 save opportunities to this point in the year, I would have called them crazy. And by the way, 26 saves are tied for the most in Padres history, prior to the All-Star break and was accomplished by Heath Bell in 2011. Yates also has a streak of converting 33 straight saves dating back to last season and has been nearly un-hittable this year. Yates was tabbed the closer last season after the Padres dealt Brad Hand to the Indians. Continue reading
FACT OR FICTION: THEM IS FIGHTIN’ WORDS

MIKE MOUSTAKAS IS GOOD AT HITTING – FACT
Kody Clawson (@kodyclawson)
The real fact of the matter is that Mike Moustakas has been good at hitting for a few years now. The move from Kauffman Stadium to Miller Park for his home games has finally given him the chance to show off his power. I was concerned that the move to second base would affect his hitting in some capacity, but this was an arbitrary hypothesis anyway. The only fantasy effect has been positive, as the added positional flexibility has only aided fantasy owners. Continue reading
Stream Machine 6/24-6/30
Michael Simione | June 21st, 2019
Below are the three best streamers that I see for next week. I do love Zac Gallen but with the uncertainty of him staying in the lineup I sadly could not pick him. I also released an article this week displaying all the MLB team’s offenses, their underlying number and who is truly the worst. This is a great tool as you always want to stream against weak lineups. That can be seen here: How To Effectively Stream Pitchers Continue reading
BUY LOW, TRADE TARGETS AND IMPACT WAIVER WIRE ADDS
Matt Bishop | June 20, 2019
If any of these players are available in your league, pick them up immediately. If they are not, try to make an offer as most of these names have little to no market value and can be acquired for pennies on the dollar. These guys are trending upward and could help you claim a championship down the stretch.
*All waiver wire add recommendations were available in a 14 team H2H points league where 4 players are kept and one minor leaguer is rostered that I am in. I know that doesn’t help.
