Anatomy of the Two-Start Pitcher - Who to Pick rotoballer.com Thu 7/5/18 4:30 AM
What do Chris Sale, Ian Kennedy, and Wilmer Font all have in common? These three were pitchers scheduled to make two starts in week 13 of the fantasy baseball season. In fact, in week 13, there were 38 pitchers set to make two-start weeks.

The Cut List (Week 13): Time to Let Go? rotoballer.com Sun 6/24/18 4:00 AM
Welcome to Week 13 of the Cut List. This week I take a look at Luke Weaver, Dallas Kuechel, Gregory Polanco, and Kyle Seager.
All 4 of these guys were drafted in the mid rounds and expected to have productive seasons, and they've all struggled to post even shallow team value as we approach the halfway mark of the season. While there's a chance they may rebound, it's probably safer to bet on a waiver pickup than hold and hope these guys turn it around.
Want some waiver wire advice to make[...]
