Happy Birthday to me, Rotoballers! But I guess most of you don't care so much about my birthday. While that is quite hurtful, I get it. No hard feelings. I'll go cry to my beautiful fiancée and stare at my multiple fantasy championship belts. That's right, multiple belts. How'd I get multiple belts from different leagues? Grinding and finding value where no one else is looking. Why am I in multiple leagues that reward their champions with WWE-style belts? Fair question, but if your league do[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Since June 28, Tampa Bay Rays utility man Joey Wendle has failed to record a hit in just eight of 50 games played, and one of those was just a pinch-hit appearance. A two-hit night on Saturday gave him 19 such efforts during the same span, and extended his current hitting streak to seven games. His counting stats this season have been modest, but Wendle has also been running more lately, with four steals in his last si[...]

You probably aren't technically able to make trades in your leagues by this point in the season, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools. Instead of trading assets with other owners, you can "buy" players that have been overlooked or recently discarded on the wire. In this case, think of it as a short-term investment that comes at a low cost (you did save at least a couple bucks of FAAB for the final month, right?) [...]

It's hard to say where the time has gone, but we're on the cusp of September baseball. Expanded rosters and pennant races will lead to different types of drama and intrigue as we bring the 2018 regular season to a close. More importantly, of course, your fantasy teams are sprinting toward the finish line. Whether your postseason is approaching in a head-to-head league or you're scrapping for the numbers to put you over the hump in a rotisserie setup, we can all use a boost somewhere. These[...]

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Joey Wendle continued his recent hot streak with a big game Wednesday versus Atlanta. He would record two hits, two runs, and two RBI in the 8-5 victory. Wendle would also add two stolen bases and a walk. Over the past 18 games, he has driven in 15 runs while he has only 33 in the 95 games he had played before that this season. [...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays super-utilityman Joey Wendle has a hit in five of the last six games, continuing on what has been a strong season. Wendle was a total unknown before this season and now has a .291 batting average in 417 plate appearances. Tallying only 30 extra-base hits, much of Wendle's value comes from his solid average Since the All-Star break, he has produced a .311/.367/.491 line while chipping in two steals, 1[...]

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Joey Wendle will lead off and play second base versus righty Hector Velazquez on Friday. Wendle normally moves all around the Rays lineup, but batting first is rare. He's hitting .304/.333/.652 with one home run and six RBI over the last week. Wendle should be a solid bet for DFS contests on Friday.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It appears this is a rest day for Duffy who has struggled with the bat over the last week. Joey Wendle will bat third and play third base against righty Glenn Sparkman. Wendle is a decent DFS option for Tuesday's contests.

Of all player profiles, Chris Archer's has to be the most bizarre. His raw stuff and strikeout totals suggest an ace, yet his ERA never seems to match up with metrics such as xFIP. Analysts like to say that he's consistently hit hard, but his career BABIP and HR/FB align almost perfectly with the league average. What is going on? This column has tackled this question before, deciding that Brls/BBE is a useless stat for pitchers in the process. This time, we'll look at Statcast's xBA and xSLG [...]
