The MLB All-Star break is here, so there's a little break in the fantasy baseball action. There's still things to discuss, and we'll open the week like many others, discussing waiver wire options.
It's the last day before the All-Star break. Every team will have played at least 94 games after today (unless the Rays or Red Sox get rained out), so we have no choice but to believe what we are seeing, even if we expect a player or team to improve/regress in the second half. Fantasy baseball will resume in earnest on Friday (though the Mets and Phillies play on Thursday night).
Let's jump right in today and look at five starting pitchers in action on Saturday who are widely available in fantasy leagues and have good matchups.
Let's now go over some possible buy-low fantasy baseball trade options after cold stretches of late. We will look at pitchers and hitters below.
Let's dive back into fantasy baseball coverage and look at some players trending up and down of late. We will focus on sell-high and buy-low trade candidates.
There weren't many big NBA transactions on Thursday, so instead of a recap of moves today, let's discuss some available free agents.
It's time for a final look at fantasy baseball waiver wire hitting options this week, and before the All-Star break.
Most of our short streaming days come when there are fewer teams in action, leaving some of our best target teams out of action. Today, we have to stretch to find streamers because our best targets, like the Mets and Red Sox, are facing pitchers who are owned in most fantasy leagues. Finding quality streamers is a two-way dance, and Friday brings the problem of too many good pitchers taking the mound.
Let's pick up our fantasy football average draft position breakdowns, looking at wide receivers next.
Wednesday was a pretty light day for NBA offseason transactions, but there were still some notable moves made that I want to discuss.
