MLB Fantasy Pass

Anthony’s Fantasy Baseball Week in Review – September…

The week in review covers all the starts by the starting pitchers, what the bullpens did (saves, holds-wise), how did the offense perform (runs scored, walks, strikeouts) and who stood out with the bat, if anyone did. It's guaranteed to be 3000 or more words and will cover pretty much every main fantasy statistic and impact players. And it comes at you every week.

Pickups of the Day for September 9th

We are nearly to the end of the fantasy (and MLB) season, as we only have three Sundays left until the final day of the regular season. That means all head to head leagues should now be in the throes of the playoffs and roto leagues are down to the top teams battling it out for the top spot. Finding value on the waiver wire is tougher than ever, with teams scouring through the dregs to find the tiniest amount of help.

Risers & Fallers: Middle Infielders

Including today, we have four regular season Friday's left. I am going to use each of those Friday's and this column to target a different group of risers and fallers, with an eye on their value in dynasty leagues going forward. Today we'll go over middle infielders, next Friday corner infielders, the Friday after that catchers and outfielders and the final Friday will be pitchers, both starters and closers. We'll go over the youngsters that have shot up the rankings and the veterans who can and will still impact each of the positions.

Examining the National League Wild Card Race

The National League wildcard race now has the highest quality of teams that we’ve ever seen with the new three wildcard format, and with four teams closely fighting for three spots, some unfortunate team will miss out. The Padres, Diamondbacks, Braves and Mets form the top four in the wildcard standings, with just three games separating the teams. The Braves and Mets currently sit tied for the last spot, and both teams are on pace for 88 wins, which would’ve been more than enough in each of the last two years to get in. With all three wildcard teams likely to have to win 90 games to make the playoffs, all hands are on deck for the last month of the season, with fantasy ramifications extending from each teams urgency to win. I’ll go through each of these four teams, their playoff chances and matchups to target offensive or pitching streamers as fantasy playoffs begin.
