Fantasy MLB TodayAugust 25, 2025

Anthony Kates hosts the latest episode of Fantasy MLB Today, “Charlie’s in Charge.” Tuesday is a full day of baseball, with all thirty teams active, but the pickings were slim when it came to pitching streams, so Anthony was only able to find two that he relatively trusts. After covering his streams, he goes over a few starters who fantasy managers could pick up to replace the possibly soon to be headed to the injured list Jacob Lopez, who left his Sunday start with left forearm soreness. Listen in to find out who his streams are and who you should pick up as a replacement.

Fantasy MLB TodayAugust 23, 2025

Anthony Kates hosts the latest episode of Fantasy MLB Today, “James-on the Giant Peach.” Even though Sundays pretty much always feature all 30 teams, which gives him an awfully large group of arms to choose from, Anthony was able to just find two Sunday streams because two-thirds of Sunday’s starters are top 40 to top 50 fantasy starters and rostered in far too many leagues. So he is taking some risks with his two starts and then covers some injury news at the end of the pod.
