Welcome to the latest episode of The Cycle, FantasyPros’ weekly fantasy baseball podcast! In this episode, Worm and Maher start by rounding the bases with Luis Gil, discussing whether James Wood is finally a prospect who hits the ground running this year, exploring the mystery of ace pitchers, and making the case for rules changes we want to see.
Next, we dive into our Buy Low, Sell High segment, highlighting our favorite picks from this week’s featured pros article and touch on players such as Marcus Semien, Dylan Cease, Masyn Winn, and Steven Kwan. In Waivers Central, we share our top waiver wire targets for the week, including Andrew Abott and Dean Kremer.
We also discuss what we’re most excited for this weekend. Maher is looking forward to attending the Phillies vs. Braves game on Sunday, while Worm is excited about Aaron Nola vs. Max Fried on Friday, Paul Skenes vs. Mets, and Garrett Crochet vs. Marlins on Saturday.
Finally, we update our season-long 2-Start Pitcher Competition, where we can pick anyone but no repeats throughout the year. See who went with Nick Lodolo and who took Ronel Blanco as Maher looks to close the gap on Worm.
