Nick Mariano - RotoBaller

1887 articles

Senior MLB/NFL Fantasy Analyst & Editor here at RotoBaller, I've been lucky enough to work here since 2015. Spent two seasons writing for MLB.com as well. FantasyPros ranked me as 2018's most accurate fantasy baseball draft dude, and I'm a three-time top-12 ranker in their fantasy football weekly accuracy competition as well. I rank the things good, or something. NY born and raised, but now you can find me in Boston with my awesome Star Baker of a wife. Addicted to apples, peanut butter, learning about cognitive biases, and baseball cards. Lots of baseball cards... Feel free to reach out on Twitter or ride with me on Peloton: @NMariano53

Week 13 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

We’re just days away from the calendar turning to July and feeling as though the season has truly crossed the midway mark. Then it’ll only be two weeks until the All-Star break, when everyone will be given a few days without any changes to their lot as they assess their standing and can likely be […]

Power Risers and Fallers for Week 12: Buy or Sell?

Welcome back to this investigative piece where we examine players who have seen some notable changes in their power profiles -- for better or for worse -- in 2017. As usual, you don’t need me to tell you that Miguel Sano or Aaron Judge are strong or that Jarrod Dyson and Billy Hamilton are toward […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

You know the deal by now: You need pitchers, I need to gab. It’s Week 12 and we’re roughly one week away from the season’s halfway point, which means all of us will blindly look at the numbers, double them and then go off about what everyone's pace is. It's fun to speak about first- […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

followed up his impressive debut by You know the deal by now: You need pitchers, I need to gab. It’s Week 11 and we’re just two weeks away from the season’s halfway point, meaning existential crises are likely approaching an all-time high. Ideally, you can use this as supreme leverage against other owners in other […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

I can’t tell if it feels like this season has been going on for six months or just six days. Everything still feels rather topsy-turvy with the increased turnover due to the 10-day DL, but I suppose that just leaves room for more intrigue and new characters to enter the limelight. For this week’s post, […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Two months are (basically) in the books and we are officially off of the rails here. Mike Trout is injured, Bryce Harper’s suspended and every single pitcher is just one sneeze away from a DL stint. One thing I notice with pieces like these are that the same arms seem to hover around the ownership […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

The pitcher landscape is honestly not all that inspiring save for some guys lingering around due to market inefficiencies. You'll find three Rockies here, and honestly, Jeff Hoffman could've made four but those in redraft leagues likely can't deal with stashing him while Colorado shuttles him back and forth between the Majors and Minors. Here […]

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Starting Pitcher

The time for chalking things up to “just April shenanigans” has come and gone, and we here at RotoBaller felt that it was time for a rankings update with roughly 20 percent of the season in the books. Of course, now we’re closer to 25 percent but don’t worry -- we’ll always bring you the […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

Wow, we’re already past the middle of May. Time flies when you’re…confused. We're still bumbling through some early storylines and wondering what to make of folks like Jason Vargas, Andrew Triggs, A.J. Griffin, Ervin Santana, Mike Leake, etc. But for right now, all we can do is look at what else is available and pad […]

Updated May Rankings and Tiers: Shortstop

The time for chalking things up to “just April shenanigans” has come and gone, and we here at RotoBaller felt that it was time for a rankings update with roughly 20 percent of the season in the books. Kyle Bishop and I felt that the world needed to know what we thought after a month-plus of […]

Nate Karns (SP, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Look past Nate Karns’ 4.58 ERA and you'll realize that he’s got a 1.22 WHIP with over a strikeout per inning (36 in 35 1/3 IP, including 17 in his last 12 1/3 IP) and gets a rather K-happy team in the […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

May hasn’t offered much more in the way of sanity than April did, meaning that staying abreast of the waiver wire remains critically important as arms fall left and right among weird performances from names we’re used to ignoring. What’s to make of it all? For our purposes, we’re going to use Yahoo ownership levels […]

Brett Gardner (OF, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Brett “The Hitman” Gardner didn’t even have a run batted in on the season prior to April 29 -- when he launched two homers. He then went powerless in his next two games before smashing two more rockets on May 2. […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

What a nutty April, eh? With a month of the 2017 baseball season in the books, we’ve got some real evaluating to do moving ahead. Are you one of those teams just hit with awful luck, skills- and health-wise? Or are you riding unsustainable starts to a hubris-loaded, early-season lead? Either way, staying abreast of […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

It’s been quite the wild ride through the first three weeks of the 2017 season. While we don’t want to be overreacting here, it’s never a bad time to check up on the waiver wire and see which under-owned arms might be available to help your squad. For our purposes, we’re going to use Yahoo […]

Fantasy Baseball Week Three Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

With almost 10 percent of the season in tow, we've got more than enough statistical firepower to make wide, sweeping statements about every single player! Well, alright, so we're not going to do that. Keep a level head, folks. It's still just April. Breathe. Now exhale sharply and read on about some April arms we […]

Power Risers and Fallers: Week Two

Hello you rabid RotoBallers, and welcome to this little look in at some early power risers and fallers.

You don’t need me to tell […]
