As we enter the final six weeks of the season, we will look at our rosters to see which players are performing at their best. With a look at the data since the All-Star break, there are several names to target. We will look to roster the players that best fit our plans and categorical needs down the stretch. In the last 30 days, Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, and Gerrit Cole are in the top ten in pitching WAR. Here are some other names to consider to help our fantasy teams move up categories [...]

As is frequently the case on Thursday evenings, I found myself scrolling through Reddit, Twitter, and a few fantasy sites in what I've dubbed "productive procrastination" mode. I'm searching for an idea for this vaguely-defined, quasi-behavioral, somewhat self-indulgent feature while also granting myself the freedom to sample the occasional meme. Gotta go with the tide or drown, as they say. Eventually, Alex Chamberlain unwittingly gifted me with the backbone of today's piece when he resurrec[...]

As we enter the final seven weeks of the season, we will look at our rosters to see which players are performing at their best. With a look at the data since the All-Star break, there are several names to target. We will look to roster the players that best fit our plans and categorical needs down the stretch.

We've looked at expected slugging numbers in comparison to actual slugging percentage before, so I'll spare you the full explanation. In this edition, we'll look at the last month's worth of data only to find risers and fallers for possible buy, sell, add or drop possibilities. Many fantasy baseball owners are starting to see the value of MLB's Statcast advanced stats in order to help identify potential risers and sleepers. Just as we do for pitchers, this weekly series will examine a handful[...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman hit a two-run homer off Daniel Stumpf in 6-0 win over the Tigers. It was his 15th of the season. Chapman has been hitting more from the two-hole recently and in the last two weeks, he has 14 runs to go with five HR and .360 AVG. Chapman is a solid power bat in a young offense that should be owned in all dynasty leagues.

The deals are finally done, or at least most of the ones that matter. You've probably read our MLB Trade Deadline breakdown by now, but it's time to get deeper by looking at some of the names that weren't making headline news over the past week. Scouting players who may be undervalued and re-assessing players who may be overvalued is a weekly exercise that you should constantly pursue as a dedicated fantasy baseball manager. Fortunately, I have you covered. Here are a few players who are goo[...]

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman contributed a homer to the offense in a 3-2 loss to the Rockies on Sunday. Chapman's homer was his 13th of the season and he is one shy of tying his HR total of his rookie season in 2017. He batted second for the entire series in Colorado and was 5-for-11.
