Mike Bolsinger (SP, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues Ownership: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Bolsinger has pitched well through three starts for the Dodgers, owning a 1.04 ERA and 3.47 FIP with two wins. The 27-year-old right-hander finds himself in the rotation thanks to a slew of injuries to his Dodger teammates. Like so many other starters coming... Read More
Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Ziegler, Burgos, Bolsinger, Franco)
I had planned on making this week's Deep League Waiver Wire: NL Edition piece focused on decent pitchers, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a bat worth pointing out too. He might even be a guy you select as a keeper heading into the offseason. Editor’s Note: to read about even more waiver wire... Read More
Nathan Karns (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Nate Karns may still need some work on his command and his changeup - a pitch he may or may not have in his repertoire yet - but I think he has good value in AL only leagues this season. So far,... Read More

Aaron Hill (2B/3B, ARI) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Hill probably wan’t one of the names you expected (or wanted) to see on here, but hear me out before scrolling down. He’s owned in less than 10 percent of most leagues, he’s got eligibility at second and third base, he’s... Read More

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/18/15
For the first time this season, today's slate truly feels like slim pickins. Only 14 teams take the field today, and with six of the seven games taking place at night. I'm going to ignore the one day game to help make building a roster a less time sensitive thing. I figured you'd understand. Editor’s... Read More
Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Kang, Hill, Howard)
Welcome to another week of the deeper league waiver wire - National League edition. Hopefully, your teams are performing swimmingly. Just in case they aren't, I've got a few free agents for you to consider adding off the waiver wire, assuming they are still available in your leagues. We've got old names and new names -...

Andre Ethier (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Andre Ethier is taking full advantage of his new found playing time. Thanks to a few injuries to Dodgers' outfielders - namely Carl Crawford and Yasiel Puig, who's hamstring rehab isn't going as quickly as Don Mattingly had hoped - Ethier... Read More

Chris Young (OF, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So far in 2015, Chris Young has been everything Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi could have imagined, and then some. In fact, I think you could go as far as to see he has already exceeded some expectations. Through 72 at-bats with... Read More
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/11/15
Just a 10 game slate for May 11th, but with no day games scheduled there’s plenty of options for your FanDuel lineup. The pitching options – save for a really expensive Zack Greinke ($10,300) – are underwhelming to say the least. It’s not so much that the caliber of pitchers today are poor, it’s just... Read More
Alfredo Simon (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in AL-Only Leagues and Deep Leagues (14+ Teams) OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm still a little hesitant on fully endorsing Alfredo Simon this season, but he's doing his best to convince me that he's at least worth a bench spot in deep leagues. In 2015, the 33-year-old right-hander is 4-1... Read More
Alex Guerrero (2B/3B/OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in NL Only leagues and in Deep Mixed Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With the oblique injury to Carl Crawford, Alex Guerrero should find himself in the Dodgers lineup with more regularity. It should also have something to do with the fact he's jacked five home runs in only 16 games,... Read More
Mark Teixeira (1B/DH, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 67% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: While the batting average might be lagging behind the rest of his impressive statistics, Big Teix is back and finally fully healed from the wrist injury that has hampered his production over the last year. Ignore the low batting average right now. Mark Teixiera... Read More
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/5/15
Happy Cinco De Mayo! Also, sorry for laying a dud yesterday with two of the three offenses I suggested stacking. One due to postponement, the other due to the Yankees not figuring out R.A. Dickey. Everybody plays today and for that I am thankful. A chance for stacking redemption. These options are "like" - not... Read More
FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers & Advice for 5/4/15
Eleven games scheduled for this evening, with first pitch at 7:05 eastern time. There's a nice balance of games with high expected run totals and reliable pitchers with strikeout potential to target. Guys like Clayton Kershaw, Felix Hernandez, Madison Bumgarner, Jordan Zimmermann, and Carlos Martinez all take the bump, and yet there are still a... Read More
Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Realmuto, Maxwell)
If you're having roster issues in your NL only league, well, you've come to the right place. If you aren't, then congratulations. This post can't really help you at the moment, but you're more than welcome to stay. Below you'll find our analysis on a couple waiver wire pickups for really deep or NL-only leagues,... Read More
Odrisamer Despaigne (SP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting and Wait for Another Opportunity OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: You could say Despaigne is off to a good start in 2015, backed by his 2-0 record, 1.37 ERA and shiny 0.66 WHIP in 19 2/3 innings pitched. Of his five appearances, two were starts and three came out... Read More
DJ LeMahieu (2B, COL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / NL-Only leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: DJ LeMahieu has been on a torrid hitting pace this season, leading the National League with a .406 batting average. Pair that scorching average with a home run, 13 runs driven in and a .446 on-base percentage, and you've... Read More

Wilmer Flores (SS/2B, NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilmer Flores was a guy I was touting back when I wrote about three shortstops who should outperform their average draft position, and he’s beginning to make me feel pretty good about including him in that piece. Like Flores, the season is still... Read More
Deeper League Waiver Wire: NL Edition (Plawecki, Lagares, Flores)
I promise this was unintentional, but this week's deeper league waiver wire for the National League is Mets themed. As in, all three players I suggest scooping up play their home games in Queens. A year ago - or any of the last five seasons, even - I would have laughed just at the idea... Read More

Dustin Ackley (OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Target in AL only leagues and Deep leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So far in 2015 we're seeing more July and August 2014 Dustin Ackley than we're seeing September and October 2014 Dustin Ackley. And that's a good thing. Ackley limped to the finish line last season hitting .149, but in... Read More
Carlos Martinez (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Target in Deep Mixed Leagues and NL Only Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Martinez is flashing some of his high strikeout potential, averaging nine strikeouts per nine innings through his first three starts. This is no fluke, and he is still raw, but has very good stuff. Martinez throws a hard... Read More

FanDuel DFS – MLB Lineup Picks, Sleepers And Advice for 4/21/15
Fifteen MLB games today and if the overs/unders set in Vegas are any indication, there will be a healthy number of stacking options. I'm not exactly enthralled with the pitching options in terms of strikeout potential, but there are a few "safer" bets for guys who should pick up wins. Editor’s Note: RotoBaller’s Premium DFS Lineup... Read More

Anthony DeSclafani (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Don’t let Anthony DeSclafani’s 2014 ERA – one that was north of six runs a game – scare you away from taking a small risk and giving the young righty a slot in your rotation. If he can keep the walks to a minimum and locate his... Read More
