Jon Anderson PREMIUM 4 years agoStarting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10
It has been a fun 10 weeks. The pitching pool continues to show its depth, as there have been strong arms aplenty to be had on the waiver wire. If you're in a league of average depth or less, chances are you could have made a pretty competitive pitching staff just by picking a handful […]

Jon Anderson PREMIUM 4 years agoHitters That Aren't Missing Their Pitches
One thing that the analytical world of fantasy baseball doesn't talk much about is the quality of pitches seen by hitters. We have numbers to quantify almost everything in the game, but when we are viewing those numbers we somewhat assume that hitters have all seen the same set of pitches. Everybody knows this isn't […]

It is a weird day for MLB DFS. We have a split-slate, with a five-game slate starting at 12:10 eastern and then a six-game night slate with one of those games just being a seven-inning affair after the Nationals and Reds had to suspend their game last night, forcing them to play most of that […]

Jon Anderson PREMIUM 4 years agoThe Best Pitches of 2021 By The Numbers
There is so much to look at when evaluating pitchers in 2021. The amount of data we have is incredible. At the time of this writing, there had been 186,220 pitches thrown this season.

Jon Anderson PREMIUM 4 years agoImproving Pitchers to Go Get Now!
When it comes to starting pitching, data generated in the month of May is more useful than data generated in April. This is my opinion. The reason for that is because so much of pitching is about arm health and pitcher routine. I have never played baseball at any serious level, but I can imagine […]

Jon Anderson PREMIUM 4 years agoSuddenly-Hot Starting Pitchers - Trust or Bust?
A lot of the time when you look at a pitcher's full season, you'll notice that the first few starts of the year don't really seem to fit the rest of the season. Pitching is a really tough thing to do and it can often take pitchers a few weeks into the regular season to […]

Jon Anderson PREMIUM 4 years agoStarting Pitcher Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6
We, as fantasy baseball players, seem to give much more weight to small samples of data when it's coming from an unknown commodity.
