Welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Today podcast from CBS Sports. Got a fantasy question? Email Fantasy Baseball at CBSI.com. Get ready to win your league. We're fantasy. Now here's Adam, Scott Heath and Chris. Oh, we are into July, and we are one week away from the All-Star break. What's up and welcome to Fantasy Baseball today.

It's Monday, July 1st. Happy July, everybody. halfway through the baseball season and obviously your playoffs are starting hey man, just a matter of weeks so it's crunch time as we enter the second half of the baseball season and the fantasy season.

I'm Adam Azer. We got Scott White here. What's up, Scott? How are you doing? Adam. Doing good. What about yourself? Well, we learned that Corse Field has nothing on London Stadium, didn't we? Yeah, that was... That was a productive two-game zero.

He's not so good for the pitchers. But yeah, that was rough. 50 runs in two games. And I don't know what to play. Do I play the Welcome Back music? Do I play the Heath is on? What's up, Heath? I just want to commend you for being up in Adam this morning.

I just assumed that you had party all night long celebrating Julius Randall and Bobby Portis and the huge acquisitions of the New York Knicks on what was a fantastic night of NBA free agency. Don't forget Reggie Bullock. Yes, how could anyone forget Reggie Bullock? No, Heath, I was celebrating London baseball, I guess. You know, you were gone for a week. I hope you had a nice vacation.

I figured I'll probably just let you run the show and tell me what you learned over the last week. Yeah, I watched baseball the entire vacation. My family and I just went to Orlando, sat in a house, and watched baseball the entire week. It was fantastic. That's great. Well, then let's talk. Let's get into hitters and pitchers to add.

Start with some hitters to add. And Scott, I will let you lead off. By the way, Dylan Cese is about to be brought up. So don't worry, we'll get to him. He appears to be up to stay for the Chicago White Sox. All right, Scott, hitter or hitters to add. So the number one hitter I was probably. in all of my leagues. And he's also number one of my top 10 sleeper hitters for this upcoming week is Alex Verdugo, who's had, who had a very productive month of June. The power stroke returned. The contact rate has been impressive all along. And the Dodgers are playing him with great consistency. So I think he's, I think he's back to being an exciting play in fantasy. And, you know, I made a lot of people added him because all of a sudden his ownership percentage was up to 74. So that's, I think he's back to being an exciting play in fantasy. And, you know, I made a lot of people added him. Because all of a sudden, he's up to 74. So that. I think he's,

That was my number one hitter I was pursuing. I didn't even realize that he was doing much. He had had a pretty quiet, long, quiet stretch for Bugow. But I think his days are about done after the break if Pollack is back. At least done as a regular. I mean, that's a lot can happen between now. It's one week. I'm not worrying about Pollock just yet.

No. Pollock's going to be back in one week. It's possible. They said he might be back after the All-Sense. break. That might be, because it's one week, but it's really almost two weeks, you know? Immediately after the All-Star break? Well, that's just two weeks from now.

At some point after the All-Star break, he'll be back. I don't know, but that's just a little bit of an alert on Alex Verdugo, because Dave Roberts did say that A.J. Pollock will come back and play center field, and that's why they have Jock Peterson playing some first base. So, look, it's fine to pick up Verdugo and see where it goes. He's definitely, he's completely secure this week. And then I guess we'll see. He can certainly play his way into playing time.

Heath, any hitters you wanted to add? Yeah, I think for a long time, Malick Smith was the most under-owned player in fantasy baseball. That may now belong to Kevin Bigio. Since June 13th, he has a 9-96 OPS. The Blue Jays have moved him back up in the order. He did either lead-off or cleanup over the last week.

He had a grand slam over the weekend. He's second-base-eligible, first-base-eligible, and outfield-eligible, and still just 60% owned. Quick update. AJ Pollack is taking live batting practice according to the update With an aim, it's returning right after the All-Star break. That's right.

With an aim. We don't know. If they are playing Jock Peterson at first base, I assume the goal is to keep Verdugo on the lineup. Is it not? I don't know what would happen against Ritey. Hey, can we talk about Kevin Bissio?

Yeah, Kevin Bizio. I would have picked him up in any league where he's not. I have him in three leagues, Heath. I agree. Yeah, I think I have him in the other three, so we're good. Perfect. Eric Thames is 13% owned. I just want to give a deep league shout out here.

He's facing six Riteys in seven games this week. Eric Thames is a 931 OPS against Ritey's. I know he's not that good, but I'm taking a shot on him in one of my like, but also I have to lose leagues. And I also picked up Dominic Smith. He's 20% owned. I'm not going to be starting him this week because it's only has three Ritees on the schedule. They have a five-game week the Mets.

But Dominic Smith is starting against Ritey's. I hope that continues. And not this week, but probably a little underowned, considering he's got like a nine-something OPS. He's been awesome. It feels like a speculative ad, but I did it in a few leagues as well. I mean, particularly some five outfielder leagues where I've had a hard time filling those spots, just hoping that Dominic Smith becomes a more regular presence in the Mets lineup because it would be exciting if he did. And I know, I don't Kevin Bissio, I believe he's fourth in the top 10 sleeper hitters.

for this week. All right. So hitters or whatever. Pitchers are where it's at. Heath, I know you added Dylan Sees in a number of leagues. So this is a White Sox prospect. He's going to start one game of a double header on Wednesday against Detroit.

But all indications are he's up to stay. This is not just a one-time deal. So Cease is 40% owned. As long as he's not terrible, he is a part of the rotation. I picked him up in three different leagues. don't like it's very easy to look at the ERA and triple A and say he's got a four or five ERA and triple A he's not any good he's very very good he's a consensus top 40 prospect his FIP is much better than his ERA so far this year he's striking out better than a batter per

inning he has big upside I would be adding him just about anywhere that he is available as long as it's 12 teams or deeper and then just to keep consistent I do have my two start pitcher that's probably going to be terrible and we're going to laugh about it and that is Ariel Herado. And what are his matchups? I don't even recall. Okay.

He's probably at the Yankees and at Houston right now. I'll take a look at Ariel Harado's matchups. I'm pulling up. I think it's the Angels and Twins. So there you go. Okay. We'll see how that goes. Not a great week for two star pitchers.

All right. So Scott, you want to give your thoughts on Cs? Now the last four starts of his have just been bad. But before that, he was basically amazing in the minors. and in his minor league career, he is 450 strikeouts and 354 in a third inning. That's pretty staggering. Yeah, and his numbers last year were really good, especially at AA. I moved up to AAA for the first time this year.

The walks are high. I mean, you know, a lot of it, well, he's only given up four home runs at AAA, so I'm not sure how much you can blame on the ball. But the walks are high and, yeah. I think certainly if you have room to take on another pitcher, you go after the upside of somebody like cease. I was comparing it to some of the other recent call-ups or very near-to-be call-ups like Jesus Luzardo and how I would prioritize Cise with them.

And so I would put him behind Luzardo, Brenda McKay, who obviously had an exciting debut this weekend. I would put him behind Gallin. I would even put him behind Albert Alzali, especially now that Cole Hamels is sidelined by an oblique injury, and Alzalai seems to have the freedom to run there. But, you know, if those guys are already taken in your league, or you want to have to drop one of them to get CISC, then absolutely pick up the guy with upside.

Is this the last guy that may not have been on our radar? Because McKay, his ownership has skyrocketed. He's 74% owned now. We've been talking about Lazzardo for a while, and he had some buzz even in spring training. So he's been owned. Alzalai kind of came out of nowhere

we weren't really expecting to see him and now he's owned in a lot of leagues and you got Csus 40% owned are there any major pitching prospects that are left that could come up I'm not including Luzardo hasn't come up yet

because like I mentioned him like he's already owned is this it? Yeah I would have to look more into that I mean we've been waiting we've still been waiting for Luzardo And McKay and Cease were the other in the pecking order for me, just among pitchers when it came to prospects to stash.

So I don't have any more Braves, right? No. Three more Braves. Maybe Ian Anderson. He's been pitching well. But most of the Braves pitching prospects who haven't already come up have either pitched poorly or in the case of Louise Gohara not pitched at all this year. So no, I'm not expecting too many. from that.

All righty. And I picked up, well, actually I've already owned him, but Annabal Sanchez. Did I say he's just Lazzardo? Yeah, of course. I meant Louise Gohara. Oh.

Yeah, Louise Gohara is the phrase pitching prospect who hasn't pitched at all. Sorry, that was confusing. Anabal Sanchez, 52% own, he gets the Marlins this week. His last six starts. He has a 229 ERA. He's 4-0,

five walks, 32 strikeouts, and 35 in a third. Nobody seems to want to buy into Sanchez. I get it. His swinging strike rate is actually down from last year, so I'm not sure he'll be able to do what he did last year. But how do you not own Anabal Sanchez right now and how do you not start him with one start against the Marlins?

And sneaky start, I'd say Ryan Yarbrough, 34% own. He should pitch twice against Baltimore and the Yankees. I don't know if he'll make any actual starts, but you might get good production at a Yarbrough this week. So what did we? You didn't ask me my pitcher to pick up Adam. Scott, who's your picture? No, you didn't.

I'm sorry. And it has your name in. Elias and Hernandez. Yes. Who had another really good start. I believe it was on Friday. Yeah, Friday. Seven strikeouts of five and two thirds.

Innings, 15 swinging strikes. His swinging strike rate in his last four starts. It's Griffin Canning. Like, you know, I talk about that with Canning every time. And, yeah, somebody's going to have to vacate for Caleb Smith, who it seems like the Marlins are stalling on bringing back just so they could figure out how to remove. stinking

oh gosh what's that guy's name Jordan Yamamoto the one Marlins pitcher who were not excited about is the one who made the All-Star team Sandy Alcantara though yeah that would seem to hurt his chances of being removed but Jordan Yamamoto

finally dropped the ball this weekend with a bad start so I would think he's at the front of the line to be replaced when the Marlins are finally ready to activate Caleb's It should be this week. So I don't think we could sit here. Well, yeah, because he made a rehab start yesterday.

So that should be his last one, Caleb Smith. I don't, do you feel comfortable recommending L.A.Z. Hernandez knowing he might not pitch. Also, he's either going to be, yeah. I picked, I put a claim from every league where he's available. I mean, starting pitching is, is too hard to find to pass up a guy on a four-start run like this guy's on, especially with the minor league numbers he has. So, you know, I guess he could end up being with the one sit down,

but I don't feel like I've lost that much if he is. And I had to decide because I have a team where I actually have Hernandez, Yamamoto, and Zach Gowan and had to drop one of them this week, and I dropped Yamamoto yesterday. Fair enough. Hernandez could either face Washington on the road or Atlanta on the road, depending on if he pitches like in a five-man rotation, a six-man rotation for this week.

He won't have an easy matchup, but let's hope it's Washington and not Atlanta. All right, so Dylan Cease, obviously Brendan McKay, if he's still out there, he's 74% own. I like Annabal Sanchez, Eliezer Hernandez. I mentioned Ryan Yarbrough.

We've talked about the Cubs rotation. Scott mentioned Alzalai should still be in now with Kyle Hendricks back this week, but Hamel's on the IL. We just talked about the Marlins rotation. What about the Dodgers rotation? Is it as simple as Ross Stripling is in and Julio Reyes is a long reliever? I don't know that it's quite that simple,

but there was a pretty strong indication yesterday with Julio Reus going three innings in what was another short to follow what was another short start for Kinta Maeda. So it's not for sure piggyback between him and stripling now. I feel like the Dodgers are going to have to hope to get some length from stripling. in a way they weren't necessarily before. I don't know that he's ready to go more than like five innings, if that. But they're looking at a longer term absence for Rich Hill. So I guess the plan is to get him up to that point,

in which case, Ross Stripling becomes, I don't know how available he is, but he becomes a pretty interesting pickup too. He's not. He's very owned. Last I checked, it's like 84%. Arias has thrown seven straight scoreless appearances, 17 innings. So I think that Areas in the right type of league could still be very helpful for you at 48%.

Yeah, tends to go three innings a lot. And when it's following a short start, which I guess most often it would be, I don't know what his win-loss record is, but you'd think he'd be in line for a pretty good number of wins. That's something I've noticed about Ryan Yarbrough, by the way. I think he's already up to seven wins this year, despite spending time in the minors,

and that was after getting 16 wins last year. that following an opener role seems to be because it's almost like you're pitching through seven, you know? Yeah. A lot of the time, so it seems to help you get wins four and two, three. It's not that impressive.

I want Brandon McKay to pitch with an opener. Unless I'm playing an equality starts league, it won't happen, I don't think. But if they're only going to throw him like 80 pitches or so, you know, give him an opener, let him get, second through sixth innings. Heath, you haven't spoken in a while.

How do you feel about this? I really do not like the whole thing still, but I do think if you're not in a quality starts league, like if you're in a standard points league and you get points for quality starts and wins, I'm not sure that the difference between the two, I really care that much. But in a league, in a standard categories league

where you get something for wins and not for quality starts, I'd much rather than have an opener. Yeah, of course. How is your vacation, Heath? It was very good, very good. went to a couple theme parks. We went and spent some time, some regular, like, natural springs. Went to a few breweries. It was awesome. I thought you were just watching baseball.

Yeah. Well, baseball is only on at night. We did all these things during the day. Oh, yeah. So, what was the best roller coaster you rode? I did not, I would say it has to be the Mako, because that is the fastest one. It's like 70, 75 miles per hour. It was a lot of fun. Really enjoyed it. Where was that? I never heard of that. Sea World. Oh. Best roller coasters in Orlando.

Who do? Never been to Sea Worlds. Yeah, I've only been once. Well, today's sponsor is Seekek. They don't have tickets to SeaWorld, but they do have tickets to sports, concerts, comedy, theater. I use Seekek, basically every time I go to a game. Promocode is Fantasy for $10 off your first Seatkeek purchase. We got other podcasts that you need to know about.

Download the CBS Sports app and watch HQ on youroku, your Apple TV, your Amazon Fire, whatever it is. And we'll be back this upcoming Sunday. All right, more pitchers to talk about. I had one-start streamers. I don't really love them, but I keep mentioning Anabal Sanchez.

I'll also mention Eric Lauer. Anybody want Eric Lauer against San Francisco or John Means at Tampa Bay? John Means has a 250 ERA, by the way. John Means, the All-Star. We all assumed Trey Mancini would represent the Orioles. Oh, that seemed like an easy call. But no, it is John Means, who for some reason does have an ERA like 250, I believe it is. I just said that.

Not, but not in a way, I think his ex-pips over five or something. It's a very, it's a very Julio Taraniari. Is it? Well, I think the difference is that he never pitches deep into games. So maybe that helps him. But, all right, fine. I guess we're not that interested in John Means. Well, yeah.

Yeah. Whatever. If you're going the one-star sleeper route, you're going about it the right way, Adam. It's just, it's not, it's not something I ever feel like I have to resort to. Like my pitching staff isn't in such such a dire position that I have to go with the pitcher I think is bad just because

he happens to have a good matchup. But that's, you know, I need to apologize to John Means that was not a fair characterization. His ERA FIPP, X FIP, and Sierra are all considerably better than Julio Toronto. You haven't missed the beat. Big news, other than Dylan C's

oblique injury, so he'll be out a little while. Kyle Hendrch could be back this week. Caleb Smith could be back this week. Is it time to drop Luis Severino? It looks like mid to late August would be the earliest that Severino could return after a setback. I mean, I don't know what your IEL situation looked like. We're not that far from mid to late August.

I'd rather hold on to him. I guess if you really have an IL crunch, you could think about it. I've just, like, and I've been noticing, I've got so many leagues right now where I'm either just in the playoffs or just out of the playoffs. and I also have so many leagues where I don't have enough Il spots. And so in those, I just don't think you can hold on to them. If you've got four or five, then sure.

Wade Davis did get a save over the weekend. Scott Oberg was probably unavailable in that game, but it has been said now that Wade Davis's job is on shaky ground. So Oberg is someone that you should pick up if you're speculating. What happened with Matt? All my categories leagues, I made sure he was owned this weekend. What happened with Matt Carpenter? He sat four straight games.

So it was revealed on Sunday that is a lot of, stomach issue, but I'm not clear on if that was the case for all four games or if they're just giving him a mental break. The Cardinals have been having Tim Edmund lead off and play third base. So do we have any more information about Matt Carpenter? I do not, and he's on like seven of my roster, so I'd like to have some this afternoon, please. Okay. And Scooter Jeanette is back, and only like five games today, by the way. So some of this injury stuff is actually, it's not good when there aren't that many. games on Monday. Because a day-to-day guy, like the next guy we're going to talk about,

you might have to make a decision on Monday. You're not going to know his status until Tuesday. Scooter Jeanette's back, though, and Gary Sanchez hurt his thumb. That's the guy. So he's day-to-day. I'm not convinced that he doesn't miss some time here based on what I was reading this morning. He could be back on Tuesday, Gary Sanchez. It is completely up in the air. We don't know. So you might want to make alternate plans at catcher. I would be extra careful when setting your lineup. this week because with for most teams it's four free off days

after this upcoming weekends I think it makes it much easier for them to put a day-to-day guy on the IL knowing they got those free days built in. Right. Exactly. Just for Sanchez, he's an all-star so I don't know

that they want to take him out of the All-Star game but you're right, it is an easy time to put somebody on the IL. Okay, let's take a quick break here when we Come back. We've got to talk about some mega duds from over the weekend, like Tanaka and Porcelo. Neither of them got out of the first inning in Saturday's game at London. Some more home runs from Justin Verlander and Mike Clevenger. Yikes. ERA up to 589. We'll be right back on fantasy baseball today.

Let's get Heath's take on these duds. Heath, Mike Clevenger. Terry Francona said, he looked extremely healthy with repetition with side days, with work in between, he'll be fine. Rick Porcelo, six runs in a third of an inning. Masahiro Tanaka, six runs in two-thirds of an inning. Justin Verlander, four runs, two homers now. That's 23 home runs this year for Verlander. And Noah Sindegard came off the I-L, and he didn't pitch very well against St. Louis. But the Mets were encouraged.

He was encouraged. Mickey Calloway was encouraged. What do you think about the Duds? Clevenger, Porcelo, Tanaka, Verlander, and Cindergard. With Clevenger, I think, slash hope, it's mostly just he hasn't found he came back for one start wasn't very good got hurt again came back in this one was absolutely awful i still mostly expect he's going to be good at some time in the relatively near future i would have a hard time starting him in his next start but i wouldn't be considered selling or anything

like that i'll point out that front both he and francona attributed this start to rust and specifically he was rushing his delivery so i think i think you're probably right there the stuff looked good Rick Porcelo is just terrible, and doesn't matter if it's on this side of the pond or the other. Why do you have to do such strong language about these pitchers who are like, but maybe average? I don't know. I mean, something we haven't had really need to talk about is that Rick Porcelo peripherally looks much worse than he did last year. Like last year, his ex-piff was below four, you know. It was pretty solid season by any measure.

but the walk rate's been up this year, which is really his strength. Fly ball rate's been up here, more vulnerable to home runs. Strikeout rate has been down. So his ex-fip's like over five, and now his ERA is too. Yeah. I think what Scott was saying was he's right. No, I think with Porcelo, I mean, obviously everything, the ex-fip and the regular stats are going to be heavily influenced by this crazy game in London, where I give up six runs

in one-third of an inning. But I'm saying the ex-fifibb. was over five before this. Yeah, yeah. I just, when I look at Porcelo, I look at like every other Red Sox pitcher. He got off to a terrible start. And then he mostly turned his season around.

In fact, before Saturday, he had a 13-start stretch with a 361 ERA. Strikeouts were down. Walks were fine. Yeah, so, all right, fine. Look, I don't really want to defend Rick Borcello. I've never been a huge Porcelo guy. How are we feeling about,

Heath, let's get back to the list. Tanaka, Verlander, and Cindergarde. I don't real, like these starts didn't really change my opinion on these guys much at all. There was a lot of stuff that in Verlander's peripherals that looked like maybe his ERA

was a little lower than it should have been, but he's one of the top three or four starting pitchers in baseball. I expect him to be that the rest of the year. Cinderguard's still kind of a borderline ace for me that I think should have a good stretch coming at some point, but it's getting harder and harder to believe that. And Tanaka is just going to make me look like a fool,

no matter what I say about them. Are we at least willing to throw out the London stats? Like, it just, it was like Corse Field. I mean, I would say that both Porcelo and Tanaka were in need of some correction there with their ERA. Now, how much of it was just a wacky environment? Probably, probably a fair amount. I mean, the pitchers didn't, nobody in the bullpen pitched well.

Nobody pitched well the next day either. but whether it was going to happen in London or somewhere else, it was going to happen. The funny thing is I feel like these five pitchers might all be in completely different tiers. Okay, so rank them. Well, it's clearly Verlander number one, clearly Verlian or clearly Sendergarde number two,

clearly Porcelo number five. I don't, I think it's clearly Clevenger number three, but for the next week he might be five. And then clearly it's not going to number five. four. I think you're right. Heath is right. You know what they say. The Heath is on. Let's look at the most added list, ladies and gentlemen, Brendan McKay. Did we talk about Brendan McKay? I don't think we did. We just sort of... On Friday? No, we talked about. Today. Today, I mean. No, today. No, no. We talked about how you need to pick him up if you hadn't already, because it was a good

start. And yes, it was, it was a very good start. He answered one of my big questions that we talked about Friday, which was, would he be allowed to pitch more than five innings? Well, he'd pitches six in his major league debut. He had been limited to five innings at AAA, like by design, not just by half a stance. And while he struck out only three, he did so with a 13.5% swinging strike rate, which is good. Very efficient, 81 pitches. I mean, he's a guy who threw out his minor league career had a great strike out-to-walk ratio. He has been assured at least one more start, and there's certainly room to keep him around after that.

if the raise decide he is worthy. One interesting note I saw yesterday from, I think it was Kevin Cash, their manager, was that they planned to keep him on the same pitching and hitting schedule in the majors as in the minors. I was thinking he wouldn't hit it all in the majors, but basically how it worked in the minors is he wouldn't play DH

before or after the day he started. And we didn't see him play yesterday at DH, obviously. and he also started every sixth day, which I guess would mean they work in Spotstar. I don't know how literally Kevin Cash meant that, I guess is what I'm saying, because is he really going to play DH that often? I doubt it. The race have a lot of good hitters there,

but it sounds like he's at least going to play some for as long as he's around. And, you know, obviously from a fantasy perspective, I don't know how much that changes, but it's, It's an interesting point to bring up. Well, I'll, I just want to add that, yes, Brandon McKay pitched six innings. He also had a perfect game through five, and he only threw 81 pitches. So I don't know that he's going to throw much more than five innings, typically. I feel like this is Chris Paddock all over again, who, was it, you know.

Who wouldn't want Chris Paddock? Well, who wouldn't want Chris Paddock? But I think also Heath, like you, we all think, I think, identify Chris Paddock as a very good sell high candidate. Like a month and a half ago, or it was after one of his great starts. And I definitely, I think McKay is a must-own pitcher. I also don't think he's going to be great, because I just don't think they're going to allow him to go deep enough to be great. I think he's...

If you could sell Brennan McKay today, I would do it. For most anything that I felt confident was going to help me over the rest of the season, was an improvement on my team. Right, yeah. Like I said when we were talking about Cs earlier, listing, I was kind of ranking the young recent call-ups. Like, I put Luzardo at the top of that list ahead of McKay. So that should give you an idea where I'm ranking McKay. I mean, I would trade McKay for Paddock, who might be hard to do after the start McPadick had yesterday.

I would obviously trade him for Luzardo, I'm saying. So, yeah, I hear you guys. I hear you guys. Okay. So Logan Allen is number two on the most out of list. Heath. Who would you rather have, Brandon McKay or Logan Allen? I'm still, I just said that I'm still going to say McKay.

I don't completely understand what Logan Allen's doing so far. He's getting, and it's just been two starts, but he's got a lot more ground balls than he did in the minor leagues. He's going to need to do that because he's not really been a huge bat misser. It's been better than I expected so far this year, but I'm very skeptical of the early success that he has had. I think a big part of it is he's a two-star pitcher and probably was the one, at least before the weekend,

highly available two-star pitcher who, you know, you could justify as a sleeper. So that's a big part of it. More on the most added list. Daniel Megden is on the most out of list. I'm guessing he's a two-star pitcher. I don't think we're too excited there. Carlos Martinez.

No. So he pitched two innings My bullpen notes Carlos Martinez Two and two thirds Two and two thirds I don't have him in an extra inning game He came in in the eighth

And then pitched the 10 Got the win Yeah he's the closer I mean they've all said he's the clue He hasn't gotten a chance to get a save yet But he's the closer I think he's gonna be like a Ryssel Eglacius type Maybe

Except hopefully good Well, Iglese's has been good for most of his career. He's not been this year, but yes. Kevin Newman. Kevin Newman, Pirate Shortstop, he's been very good. He's been, well, okay, his five home runs on the year, but he homered three times this past week. Newman's batting 327 with five homers and five steals. Bats lead off for the pirates, and he's fifth on the most added list.

Who's interested? And then, Lordeus Goreal, right behind him, two homer game over the world. weekend. It's pretty crazy right now what Gouriel is doing. Yeah, and Newman, I'm where I am with J.P. Crawford, too, where there are some aspects of what they do that

lend themselves to a high batting average, and maybe they could sustain a pretty high batting average. It's just, like, I'm not sure it could possibly get high enough to compete with the other middle infield options out there, unless you're talking about a deeper league.

Yeah, I think Newman deserved, like when he was 24% owned, he deserved to be added. And now everyone needs to stop. Okay. How do we feel about Kestin Hira and Chris Taylor? Kestin Hira. I mean, I'm with Heath

that Kevin Vigio's pretty exciting. I think I'd rather have Kestan Hira, though. I just think I think it's more likely he's just a all-around stuff.

than Bizio is. Not that Bizio couldn't be. I just, I like the tools for here a little more than Bizio. Who was the other guy asked about? Chris Taylor, who I'm guessing has just one week left as an everyday player. Yeah. I mean, if, if you're worried about Alex Verdugo's playing time, which by the way, it doesn't, like the guy who's been getting a lot of time for the Dodgers lately is Matt

beady. So I think Alex Verdugo's role is pretty safe. Getting back to the top of the show. Well, where is he going to play? Left field. And then Peterson will play first base, you're saying?

Bellinger and Wright. Muncie mostly at second. Peterson mostly at first. All right. All right. And then there's two players on the most added list. Do either of them have a chance to start twice? I mean, I think Ryan Yarbrough has a chance to pitch twice, not start twice. But what about Alzalai? Are they going to go six-man this week, or is Aouselai going to be a two-star pitcher?

He is starting today. I haven't heard if they're going six-man this week or not. I didn't. Let me see here. Six-man. I would guess they're going six-man just because they did the last time through. All right. So I would not count on Aalai for two-star.

Heath, I'm going to throw a name at you, and you're going to tell me how you feel about this name. Eric Sogarde, 25% own. Yeah, I think the 25% owned is plenty high. He has been playing a lot lately, and he's been hitting relatively well. I don't buy it, and I definitely wouldn't be adding in many leagues deeper than that, or shallower than that, more shallow than that. More shallow. How about Matt Strom, who is a two-star pitcher, and he's only 53% owned, San Francisco and at the Dodgers?

Heath? Is San Francisco in San Francisco? Yes. Then I've got some interest. He's not been very good lately, but I still think that there is a little bit upside there, and the first matchup is exceptional. You just need one of those starts to be good in a points league. There you go.

Okay, let's go through the rest of the news and notes. Marcelo Zuna's on the IL with a finger injury. Waiting for Jose Martinez to start hitting, but at least he's playing. Eddie Rosario is on the IL with an ankle sprain. Brad Peacock's on the aisle with a shoulder issue, but should be back after the All-Star break. Tim Anderson's expected to miss four to six weeks. Chris Archer left his weekend start with hip discomfort, and he will be re-evaluated today.

Trevor Story could be back on Tuesday. Hunter Pence could be back on Tuesday, maybe more like Wednesday for Pence. Chris Davis has not started three straight games after being hit by a pitch on the hand, so that's not sure what to do about Chris Davis. Luke Voigt. Would not start him.

Yeah. Except, you know, deep league where the alternatives are really bad. Luke Voight, another one. He's got a core muscle. injury. Another guy who could end up on the IL for a short stint in Luke Voight. It's a tough week. It's going to be a tough lineup decisions

this week. Domingo Aramaana's going to start on Wednesday for the Yankees. Marcus Strowman left with a cramp in his shoulder. Heath says he'll be back. Marcus Truman, he probably thinks he's the best pitcher in baseball. Every quote is this very positive. He's got some

confidence, which is good. Which is good. You sounded like Dennis Eckersley right now. No, like Dennis Eckersley was out alive. But Stroman is always, Strowman is always kind of like, he has an attitude as if he is Madison Baumgarter, who has like that attitude on the mound.

And you're just, you're not, you're not, Strobin. Stephen Piscotti's on the IL with a knee injury. D. Gordon has a strained quad. Ozzy Albies should be fine starting Albiz. Gordon, I'm not so sure about. David Robertson hopes to return by the end of July. J.T. Rayamuto left with a hamstring injury. called it precautionary.

Yuleiguriel, you should be fine if you want to start him. Same with Max Kepler. Pablo Lopez will begin a throwing program today. Christian Yellich is going to participate in the home run derby. Uh-oh. How about Baltimore Orioles? The Baltimore Orioles became the first team to shut out an opponent and score 13 or more runs in consecutive games.

This team, the Baltimore Orioles. That's a trivia question nobody's ever going to get. worst team in baseball if that remains true yeah and contributing to that on the negative end was Dan Plasak Plesack sorry Dan Pleasack Zach please Zach please Zach

No relation to Dan Plasack Yeah he and Jordan Yamamoto Were my big Well I guess Beyond the London series They were my big coming down to Earth pitchers this weekend Because I don't see a lot peripherally

that was backing up what police acts doing. And I would be fine dropping him for any of these young pitchers, Dillen Cease included, who we were mentioning at the top of the show. And final note, Freddie Freeman had 33 RBIs in June. That's amazing. Most by a Braves player since they moved to Atlanta. Going back to the very first news item, I think is another deep league hitter ad.

Tyler O'Neill was called back up, and the note that I saw suggested that he's just going to slot into the starting lineup. He's 12% owned and has been raking again at AAA. All right. So if I look at some other hitters here, we've talked about a lot of of these guys that are on this list. But Carson Kelly, since becoming... Here it is. Hey, come on, man. He's my Malik Smith. He's 31%

owned. And since becoming the regular catcher on July 11th, basically playing like four out of five games, his... Is that your birthday? No, June 19th. Sorry. He's going to You mean June 11. And he meant June 11. Oh, June 11. Yeah, yeah, June 11. Yeah, okay. So his OPS is what, 996. I don't know how you don't own Carson Kelly. He's 31% owned. Less excited about Chan Sisko, but he has started three straight games and had a good weekend.

I don't know. Like that was right when I, he started taking over right when I got excited about Pedro Severino, too. Yeah. His numbers are pretty impressive for a catcher. As far as Kelly goes, I just need to mention one thing. Alex Avila has been on the IL. Now he's back, and Avila did get a start over the weekend, so we'll see what the playing time is, but I think Kelly's earned it.

And then, oh, Heath, how about Mani Machado? Boy, has he been good? I got a lot of tweets about Mani Machado. Yeah, yeah. Baseball that I watched lots of baseball of. Not surprised. Yeah, he's on a nice little streak here. I'd say 1386 OPS in his last 15 games.

He's now the number 6. Seven shortstop and points, number eight in Roto. And half of his home runs have come in the last 15 games. He has 20 on the year. I would like to tell people you can tweet me at Heath Cummings, S.R, with players on your team that are terrible if you would like for me to talk about possibly dropping them on the podcast. Okay, we'll move out to the bullpen here. Oh, man, I didn't realize it.

I didn't realize he went that far with Machado. Yeah, he said, yeah, yeah, the word's dropable. He was like the number 20 shortstop in fantasy baseball a week and a half ago. I hope you learned a lesson, Heath. I don't know what it is. With terrible batted ball profile. Well, that's what I'm saying. Batty ball profile is not necessarily predictive.

Is XBA and X-SLug were terrible? Who cares about X's? I hear you, but he's... I mean, I don't want to... It would be unbecoming of me to prosecute this in retrospect, but I... No, I'm fine with that. Like, that's just, when you have a hitter that had been average on the road his entire career, went to the Padres and looked average, I thought maybe he was average.

We only had like eight years. I could understand the argument. I just, I had too much faith in the profile, I guess. Mani Machado, who was hyped as the next Alex Rodriguez, basically backed it up as still 26. I trusted him to figure it out. But again, that's easier to say now, obviously. I did too, so Heath is wrong. But he's still probably not going to be what,

like a top five shortstop or a basement the rest of the year. Just to be clear. Yeah, probably not because there's so much there. Yeah, I mean, he's probably, we're probably talking about a third or fourth round pick next year as opposed to first or second. Okay. Here are the top five shortstop.

so far. Breggman, Bogart's, Marte, Eduardo Escobar, and Trevor's story. So I think Catelle Marte versus Manny Machado is pretty interesting. Just as it is interesting. Forget second base. Just as a short stop. Who would you rather have? I take

Machado. Yeah, I would take Machado too, but you can't really forget that Catele is also eligible at second base, and the outfield, both weaker position. Yeah. I guess I can't forget.

Yeah, you're right. It's part of the equation. He's going Marte. Okay. Yeah, like Mani Machado has had an otherworldly two and a half week stretch and he's still 10% worse than Cte this year. He's also an otherworldly career. You were framing it as if they're both only shortstop eligible.

Who's going to put up better numbers rest of season? Let's just say that. Marte or Machado? I'll take Marta. I would guess Machado. Yeah, I'll take Machado. Pete's wrong again. Okay, let's talk about the bullpen.

Ken Giles was unavailable and Daniel Hudson got a save for the Blue Jays. I only bring that up case Ken Giles gets traded. I don't know. Maybe you go to Daniel Hudson. I don't know. Michael Lorenzen was bad. He was good on Friday, I think terrible on Sunday. You just keep an eye because Rice-Elegalias gave up three runs on Sunday.

We keep an eye on that situation. But it could be Amir Garrett, too. He's actually been very good for the Reds. Rowanus Aalius. He's their closer. This is a boring segment. Yeah. It's much more fun to talk about the things I'm wrong about.

Boring segment. All right, let's take a break. So Oberg and Lorenzen, I think, are both. If you're desperate for saves, I think they're both worth adding. I understand things went poorly for Lorenzen yesterday. but they've been going poorly for Iglesias for a long time. So that's probably how I'd sum up the closer news from the weekend. For the weekend, yes.

I would add Kyle Crick is always a good guy to stash in case Vasquez gets traded, although they're not out of it. And I don't know who it is in San Francisco, but maybe Dyson. All right, now we're going to take a break. And then when we come back, Blake Snell, 12 strikeouts in a big start against Texas. He's got the Yankees this one. week. Oh, before we take a break, would you start Brendan McKay home against the Yankees this week? I'd rather not.

Yeah, it's not a must. It's not like an automatic start. I wouldn't be afraid to start him, I guess is how I'd put it, but, you know, hopefully I have better options. Can I tell you something crazy? Are you sitting down? Yes. Good. The Yankees are 24th in OPS against lefties. How? For most of the season, have not. had some of their best hitters against lefties, though, right? But they have almost no lefties in their lineup. Like, they're almost entirely right-handed, even when they were hurt. It's the weirdest thing.

They have had very few. They've had the fifth few as the bats against lefties. But I can't figure that out. Fluky sample size thing. Maybe, but it's still crazy to me. But, yeah, like Aaron Judge being back is certainly going to help them against lefties. D.D. Gregorius, on the other hand, I think he has one hit against the lefty this year. So now we're going to take a break.

When we come back, Blake's. Lucas Gialito, the rest of the studs. Some more pitchers to pick up. We'll be right back on fantasy baseball today. So Blake Snell rebounded, that's for sure. Six innings, two runs. Gave up a monster home run to Joey Gallo, but he struck out 12, 20 swinging strikes.

It's just amazing, though, that they won't let him pitch deep into games. He threw 80 pitches. Why did they take him out? They're so concerned, it seems. It's amazing. Meanwhile, Shane Bieber, eight scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts at Baltimore.

He has 133 strikeouts. in 104 and a third. And four straight stars for Beber without allowing a home run. I was very pleased to see Giolito come through with a good start, even though a rain delay shortened it to only five innings, scoreless against the twins. And Madison Bumgarner has been great, but his road numbers, he's a 460 road ERA.

And keep in mind, Bumgarner, good chance to get traded. So, Heath, I'll give you the first word on the studs being studs, Blake Snell, Bieber, Gialito, and Bumgarner. Very good start from Blake Snell. No immediate concerns right now. Hopefully we don't have to worry about that again. Beaver and Gilead, I think both now probably belong in the ace tier.

Bumgarner is a fine number two or number three starter. I do get worried about where he gets traded to because he's not been great on the road. I don't think he's just simply not as good a pitcher as he was three or four years ago, and if he goes to a smallish park, that could be a problem. I do wonder with Bumgarner because he had a bad start,

couple turns ago and said, you know, his last two starts have been among his best this year. And he says he's, you know, made a focus, made more of a focus of working both sides of the plate. But beyond that, like, the stuff legitimately seems better. This is something I just noticed yesterday. His average fastball velocity is the highest it's been in four years. And four years, I think, is a noteworthy number because, you know, if it was three years, that includes all the years since the motorbike accident where he hurt his shoulder. But four years includes the year before that too.

And nobody had any reason to think Bumgarner was less than a top five pitcher in fantasy. So I don't know. The last two starts, I think, are very encouraging. And I'm excited about the prospect of him getting traded because obviously there's going to be, he's going to be in a better situation to win games. Yeah, he's five and seven. but you're excited because I'm nervous. He almost certainly is going to be in a worse park.

Yeah. You're right. It wouldn't have mattered. It wouldn't have mattered, you know, four years ago. So if that's kind of what you're saying, I get it. But, yeah. And I mean, let's see what happens. You know, I'm putting a lot on the past last two starts,

which were very impressive. And just wondering if he's, there's still a really good pitcher in there that we haven't even necessarily seen this year. just noting that the velocity's up. I think it's an interesting discovery. That's Madison Bumgarner. Now let's go to Studs being Studs Part 2. Oh, Chris Paddock.

Chris Paddock was so dominant. Watch the start. Loved it. Six innings, one run. He gave up a lead-off home run, then six scoreless after that with eight strikeouts. And his last seven starts, though, a 475 ERA. It's kind of what I'm talking about with Brendan McKay,

why, you know, these guys are going to go through their, take their lumps and not pitch super deep into games. But it's good to see Paddock back. Lance Lynn, eight scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts? Oh, my goodness, Lance Lynn. Brandon Woodruff's just been great, and the swinging strikes are back for Brandon Woodruff, 16 of them in this most recent start against Pittsburgh. John Gray has been very good. He's really coming around, and now he has a 384 ERA and more than a strikeout per inning.

And he's been better at home than on the road. Jose Kentana, nice bounce back start for him, and Mike Soroka, four swinging strikes, but he's nine and one with a 213-13 ERA. Yeah, are we going to put the cell high tag on Mike Soroka, Heath? What do you think? Yeah, I think there are a few cell highs in that group, but Soroka's been very good, and it's possible to be a good starting pitcher without as many swinging strikes or as many strikeouts as some of the elite guys.

but it's not possible to be one of the elite guys and his strikeout total is just way, way, way too low. I would take just about any one of my top 35 starting pitchers for him right now and the same goes for Chris Paddock. He's like 14 innings away now from his career high. Yeah, and he's at the Dodgers this week and that didn't go well the last time he was at the Dodgers. Yeah, I was going to say especially,

you can be good without the strikeouts when you have the kind of ground ball rate Mike Soroka does, but I agree that he's not top 35 for me. I'm not so interested in selling high on Lance Lynn, who I feel like is one of the bigger all-star snubs. I understand his ERA's four, but

I mean, there are a lot of good pitchers with an ERA around four this year. Well, Jose Ferrios would be a bigger snub. I'm not, like, I guess if you could get like, Noah Cinder for Lynn, okay, you know, a combined by low, sell high situation there.

Maybe you could pull that off. But like when you have a pitcher who's consistently going seven plus with eight plus strikeouts, he's been doing it for two months now, right? Longer. I mean, I don't totally get where he came from or how he's doing it. But you're not like that. That is a huge need for everybody. And you're probably not using Lynn in a way.

that builds that neat. Like nobody's giving up a pitcher, another pitcher who can do that in exchange for Lynn. You know what I'm saying? So like, maybe you could sell high for a hitter, but is that really going to help your bottom line more than what Lynn's doing for you right now? It may not last for Lynn, but like I'm just content to enjoy it while it lasts. You could make a very good argument that if you were to just hide the names and show me and Scott what they had done so far this year.

we would all tell you we'd much rather have Lance Lynn than Mike Soroka and probably maybe possibly even Chris Paddock. Yeah, but would you? I'd rather have Paddock. I would with the names there. I'll take him over both of them. I've got to do my rankings update today and Lynn is going like he's going to be right in that same range

as Soroka and Paddock. He may just be ahead of them. Wow. I just, there's just too much bad in his history. history. You know? And he's one pitch pitcher.

Well, I mean, there is bad in his recent history, but you look at before Tommy John surgery, so pre-2016, I mean, he was. Fine. Consistently top 30, 40 pitcher in fantasy. Yeah, he pitched a lot of in it for sure. That was good. This is even better than that, but still, it's just, like, who else is doing this? The ERA's inflated mostly because of April,

but who else is doing what he's been doing since then? All right, that's Lanselin. Let's move on. I'm going to give you the studs being something in between studs and duds. They're called studs because they're owned in 80% of leagues or more, not because they're actually studs. I want you to tell me who you would drop for Dylan Cs, or really who you would drop for that theoretical high-upside pitcher.

Miles Michaelis, John Lester, Yanni Chorinos, Zach Davies Eduardo Rodriguez Joey Lucchase Zach Eflin and Max Fried A lot of names there Michaelis Lester Cherinos Davies

Roderick I can split it into groups of four I guess Let's split it into groups of four I'll just go by the four that are on the graphic right now Eduardo Rodriguez Joey Lucacey Zach Eflin Max Fried

Would you drop any of them for Dillen C's I would drop Lucasey Um, Eflin's a tough call. I don't really believe in Eflin. But you're giving up a lot of, you're giving up a lot of,

I feel like what's been stability for you to this point. All right, Lucchese, you drop? Lucchese is the easiest one there. I struggle a little bit with all of these guys, but Lucchese is the only one I drop for sure. All right. I thought you were going to drop Hedwardo Rodriguez, but fair enough.

And then the other four, Michaelis, Lester, Chorinos, and Zach Davies. Davis, John Lester, Trinos, yeah, Davies, yeah, 80%. Davies is the drop, and I would... Lester, right?

Probably Lester. Yeah, I'd do Lester. Okay. I think that you can make a case that Miles Michaelis has turned his season around fairly decently. And he's at San Francisco this week.

I'm not convinced in that case, but you can make enough of that case that I wouldn't want to drop them. All right, Fringies. Part 1. These guys are 65 to 79% own. Who do you want? Mike Fires.

Zach, Dan, Plasak, Pleezac. Merrill Kelly, the atrocious Andrew Heaney. Yikes. Jordan Yamamoto. Dakota Hudson. Even also atrocious. I keep getting Dakota Hudson and Merrill Kelly confused, by the way.

And Sunny Gray and Stephen Matt. So again, a lot of names there. Heath, who do you want from these fringy starting pitchers who are 65% to 79% owned? Sunny Gray would be my favorite. Yeah, yeah, Sunny Gray would be my favorite. Heaney, I still have some hope for. I'd put Pleasex just ahead of Yamamoto next. So Heaney's been getting burned by the long ball in a severe way.

Look, it's an outlier fly ball rate, and he's been giving up hard contact. It makes sense why he's giving up so many home runs. But nobody should give up this many home runs. It's been crazy. Meanwhile, he just delivered his third 20 swinging strike start on Sunday. It wasn't a very good start because he gave up a three-run homer to Matt Chapman. But the whip was low. I feel like there's a chance he takes off.

I don't feel like you can really use him right now. But I'd like to have him on my... At Houston this week for Haney, so... The one thing I will say about Hini and the home runs, because it is a lot more fly balls, but his career home run to fly ball rate in 379 innings is 15.3%. This year he's at 18.4%,

which indicates maybe it's an extra home run or two, but he's just always had a problem with the long ball. All right, let's move on. Next group, 50 to 64% own. Anabal Sanchez, John Means, Chris Bassett, and Jordan Liles. Anabal Sanchez, John Means, Chris Bassett, and Jordan Liles. Heath, are we seeing anyone really exciting here? Annabal Sanchez is very exciting.

I've been using him ever since that you and I decided that he was a good ad a month ago. I'm going to take credit for Anabal Sanchez. All right, let's go to Part 3 then. Fringy starting pitcher is 30 to 49% own. Michael Paneda, last nine games, 393. he's 3 and 1, which surprised him, I thought it'd be better than that, but a 0.98 whip. He could be very good for your whip, Michael Paneda. Julio Arias, Brett Anderson, Adrian Sampson, Eric Lauer, Danny Duffy, Waka.

Paneda, Arias, Brett Anderson, Adrian Sampson, Lauer, Duffy, Waka. Scott, anyone inspiring there? I wouldn't say inspiring. I mean, Arias is probably the one I want to own the most, and he's pitching three innings at a time. So that kind of tells you how the rest of this group looks. I guess Paneda among the true starters. That's about it. Okay.

Danny Duffy, three starts against Boston or Texas. He is allowed 14 earn runs in 12 and 2 thirds. In his other starts, he is a 355 ERA. So he might be all right, Danny Duffy against lesser competition against Cleveland this week. Not really sure what to make of them. They've been on quite a hot streak. but not a great lineup. He seems like a potential two-star streamer type.

I haven't had occasion to call him a two-star sleeper at any point this year, but he certainly looks like a competent pitcher. Okay, let's play a game called Yes or No. I just made this game up, so bear with me on the rules. I'm going to say a pitcher's name that's owned in less than 30% of leagues, and you're going to tell me yes or no if you're interested in adding him. I think this is like 14 teams or deeper. Sure, yeah.

Tommy Malone, yes or no. Yes. No. I said yes to answer Scott's question, not yes to Tommy Malone. All right, we're still in no on Malone. Sean Anderson. No. No.

Anthony DiSclavani. Yes. Yeah, deeply again. Eliezer Hernandez. Yes. Yes. Felix Pena. No.

Austin. Oh, I forgot how to pronounce it. Austin Voth, I think. No, Voth. No. No, doesn't matter how you pronounce it, because we're never going to say it again. Andrew Cashner.

He's going to be good this week. No. Jesse Chavez. Oh, sorry. Cashner, go. No, no, no. Five knows. Jesse Chavez.

No. No. Jordan Zimmerman. Nope. No. Drew Pomeran's. Nope. Yeah.

Oh. Wow. He's had a really good month of June, 333RA, well more than strikeout per inning. And it coincided with an arm slot change. He raised his arm slot to change the shape of his fastball. And obviously, it's gotten better results. So deeply. This is like a fairback Thursday on a Monday.

I would almost guarantee that if we had like an archive of all the podcasts, we could find a clip of Scott saying something about Drew Pomerant's arm slot in the past and believing and impossibly being good because of it. This clip I want to play because that last segment reminded me of this clip and we'll end the show. Did anyone see the movie, Tron? No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. No. Yes. I mean no.

No. Okay, thank you. Thank you for letting me get my Simpsons on. And we're out of here. For Scott and Heatham, Adam. We'll talk to you tomorrow on Fantasy Baseball today.
