Jo Adell and Erick Fedde—flashes of brilliance or misleading mirages? We analyze whether these players are sustainable picks for your team. It’s rankings time! Where do Nick Lodolo, Jack Flaherty, and Blake Snell stand in our rest-of-season rankings amid breakouts, bouncebacks, and slumps? The Wins rule in fantasy baseball—does it need a change? We explore potential improvements to this controversial aspect of fantasy scoring. Ryan and Mike also dive into their favorite waiver wire pickups, buy low and sell high candidates, and what they’re looking forward to this weekend before closing things out with an update on their two-start pitcher competition (where Mike is up 2-1 on the season).
