Hey folks. Today, we're down to the final four teams standing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and at this point there's nowhere left to hide. The Conference Finals always feel different because the surprises, Cinderella stories, and early round chaos have mostly been filtered out. Every team remaining has survived something to get here, and every one of them now believes they're four wins away from playing for the Stanley Cup.
Last season, only seven qualified hitters batted at least .300. That number is at 14 right now, continuing the trend of batting averages falling off a cliff. It's the age of the strikeout and the low batting average; the arguments over which way is better will never cease, but it's unquestionable which route MLB teams see as their best chance at winning.
We just looked at fantasy baseball hitters and pitchers trending up, and now are going to check out some hitters and pitchers trending down.
Fantasy baseball assets gain and lose value all season, so it's beneficial to be tracking hot/cold streaks, and that's what we are going to look into in this article.
Let's dive into some more fantasy baseball hitting waiver wire/streaming options on the second day of the work week.
Hey folks. Today, we're circling back to the Eastern Conference after a second round that somehow managed to get even more emotional, dramatic, and unpredictable than Round 1. This is where playoff hockey starts separating teams that are simply hot from teams that truly believe they belong on the Stanley Cup stage, and the East delivered some incredible moments along the way.
Hey folks. Today, we're circling back to the Western Conference after a second round that honestly felt like the moment the playoff picture truly started separating contenders from everyone else. Round 1 gave us chaos, upsets, and momentum swings, but Round 2 felt heavier. The pressure ramped up, the mistakes mattered more, and the teams still standing started looking a whole lot more dangerous.
With both the NBA and NHL starting their conference finals this week, we are creeping toward the time when baseball gets the spotlight all to themselves for a few months. Preseason football will be a part of the discussion soon after, but MLB gets a short span during the Dog Days of Summer when they are the only major American professional sport in action.
This week, we will dive into several fantasy baseball trade breakdowns. Here, let's look at some trending trade options.
After checking out several fantasy baseball waiver wire options, it's time to discuss some drop options. This will also serve as an injury update, as several players are being dropped after suffering injuries.
