Shohei Ohtani (DH - LAD)
6/22/26 10:00 AM - Shohei Ohtani has been brilliant on the mound this year, but he's still a long shot for the Cy Young. Shohei Ohtani has won four MVPs, and now he’s making an impressive bid for an honor that has thus far eluded the two-way star: the Cy Young Award. Problem is, the competition in the National League might be a little too stiff this year. Ohtani is 7-2 with a 1.47 ERA so far this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Still, he remains a long shot for the Cy Young according to oddsmakers. Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski is the favorite, and Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez isn’t far removed from throwing 50 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.

6/21/26 5:00 AM - Fantasy Baseball H2H Streamers – Week 14: Free Willi.
I was pretty pleased with last week’s streamers, aside from Merrill Kelly. If we’re being honest, Kelly might just be washed at this point. That’s an inevitable path every pitcher takes, and it’s a sad reality for professional athletes. Knowing when that will happen is always tricky for us, but it’s also one of the most impactful variables for fantasy sports. Please, blog, may I have some more?
