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

Sure, Week 1 may not actually begin until Sept. 8, with the blitz of games hitting us in the face on Sept. 11, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t beat your competition right now. You’re all staring […]

Week 23 Waiver Wire: Starting Pitchers

In just a month, baseball’s regular season will be over. More importantly, the fantasy baseball season will be over. This is the definition of crunch time. What you do right now defines you as a person. Will you be that team that fizzles out down the stretch? Or will you finish by skyrocketing upwards faster […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Cobb’s latest Triple-A rehab start saw him allow only one run in four innings.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Reyes turned in his first Major League start on Saturday, striking out four in 4 2/3 innings en route to a no-decision.

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chad Green got bit by the long ball in his latest start, allowing three of them before leaving in the fifth inning.

Mike Foltynewicz (SP, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mike Foltynewicz flashed his upside again on Aug. 27 against the Giants, limiting them to one run over 7 2/3 innings while posting a sub-1.00 WHIP and striking out six.

Luke Weaver (SP, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Luke Weaver got the benefit of facing off against the A’s at home in his last start, but he still had to deliver. Hurling six frames of one-run ball with seven strikeouts and the win certainly qualifies as “delivering.” […]

Brandon Finnegan (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon Finnegan followed up his no-hit bid on Aug. 20 — in which he struck out eight over seven shutout innings — by racking up 12 K over six solid innings on Aug. 26 against the D-backs.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Mike Fiers wasn’t great against the Rays, but still notched the quality start with 6 1/3 innings and three earned runs.

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Anderson bounced back against the Brewers on Aug. 24, striking out 10 over five strong innings.

Daniel Norris (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Daniel Norris hasn’t done anything spectacular, but did notch his first victory since being recalled by shutting down the Twins on Aug. 25, striking out five over 6 1/3 strong innings. The crux here is that he gets to […]

Matt Boyd (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Boyd still hasn’t lost since being recalled on July 9, and is now 5-0 since with a 2.38 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. He’s also rocking a 43:13 K/BB ratio in those 45 1/3 innings alongside a neat 20.2% soft-contact rate. […]

Joe Musgrove (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Musgrove’s last two starts have not been good, but they’ve been rather tough match-ups— in Baltimore and in Pittsburgh. Maybe there’s some tape out there on him and Major Leaguers have caught onto something, but don’t be afraid to bet […]

Brandon Finnegan (SP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon Finnegan was incredible on Aug. 20, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Dodgers.

Matt Boyd (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Boyd’s most recent effort was a quality start against a Boston lineup that was admittedly missing David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia.

Tyler Anderson (SP, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Anderson hasn’t had the best couple of starts, but did strike out eight Cubs over seven innings in his last outing on Aug. 19 at Coors. He was hit around by the Phillies on Aug. 13 before that, though his […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, NL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Robbie Ray flashed his ceiling on Saturday, firing seven innings of one-hit, one-run ball alongside a career-high 13 strikeouts.

Anibal Sanchez (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-only Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Anibal Sanchez is one of the more volatile “boom/bust” types. His latest start embodied the “boom,” as he struck out eight Royals over seven scoreless innings, while the “bust” was illustrated by the start prior to that where he gave up […]
