Three days from today, we will have a baseball game that counts. Opening Day is usually a big deal, but MLB gets overshadowed a bit at their start by March Madness and then the NBA and NHL playoffs; at least the summer is left mostly to baseball.
It's a bit of a short schedule on the NBA calendar today, with just one-third of the league in action. That leaves us short on quality streaming options as well, so instead of the usual three teams, I only have two franchises with high-quality matchups today.
The MLB season starts with one game on Wednesday night (on Netflix, as these sports leagues continue to gatekeep major events from their fans) then kicks off in earnest on Thursday. The final fantasy baseball drafts are taking place, putting us on the cusp of another long, arduous year.
With March Madness in full swing, the NBA has to take a bit of a backseat despite being in the final month of the season. It's unavoidable, as the men's college basketball tournament is one of the best times on the sports calendar, but the pro league hasn't done themselves any favors with their treatment of the regular season.
We just went over my picks for surprisingly good fantasy baseball assets among American League teams, and now are going to go over an option from each National League team.
I wanted to keep the fantasy baseball coverage pumping with the MLB regular season starting up soon, so here, I will be trying to predict a surprisingly good fantasy player from each team.
We went over closer situations in the American League yesterday and are back today to go over the closer situations in the National League.
We just went over some fantasy basketball drop candidates a couple days ago, but have another batch to discuss as the work week ends.
I have one final set of fantasy basketball waiver wire options for you this week.
Hey folks. Today, we're looking at four must-add pickups who are making noise at exactly the right time as fantasy leagues gear up for the playoffs. Whether you're fighting for positioning or chasing that coveted bye, these are the types of players who can quietly tilt a matchup in your favour.
