Week 18 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers rotoballer.com Wed 8/1/18 3:00 AM

I can't believe it's August! I hope every single one of you somehow benefitted from the Trade Deadline wheelings and dealings. While I urge you to test your league's trading market before the deadline hits (if applicable), we're here to check in on widely-available arms that you can hopefully get for free, but without going into strictly streamer territory. Bippity boppity, give me the zoppity. If you want to chat more about additional arms/bats/whatever, you can find me on Twitter @NMariano5[...]

Sean Newcomb Gets Ton of Run Support In Win rotoballer.com Mon 7/23/18 6:11 PM

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb was surely glad to see his team break out their bats on Monday night against the hapless Miami Marlins. Being staked to an early lead surely eased his mind and gave him the confidence to pitch around his four walks and he got out of trouble a couple of times. Ultimately, the only run he gave up was a solo homer to Justin Bour. Ultimately, he went six innings and struck out five. His next start isn't as easy, facing the Dodgers in Atlanta. See how t[...]

Sean Newcomb Will Start on Monday rotoballer.com Sat 7/21/18 12:07 PM

Saturday's Atlanta vs. Washington game has been postponed due to inclement weather. Newcomb, who was slated to start on Saturday, will now start Monday against the Marlins. This is good news for Newcomb owners as the Marlins are the second-worst team in the league against left-handed pitching. The only downside for fantasy owners is that they lose out on the potential counting stats they might have needed for this week's matchup. Fantasy baseball giveth and fantasy baseball taketh away.
