Locked On Fantasy Baseball - Daily MLB Fantasy Podcast

First base is primed to be fantasy baseball’s deepest position in 2027, but who tops the ranks—and whose star has faded? Dominick Martino plants his flag on Nick Kurtz as the new elite, analyzing the young Athletics slugger’s power, plate discipline, and breakout potential while weighing Matt Olson’s consistency and Pete Alonso’s home run upside. Can Ben Rice and Sal Stewart deliver another power-packed campaign, and is Bryce Harper’s production aging gracefully or at risk of decline?

Freddie Freeman’s veteran status hangs in the balance as his power dips, while Munetaka Murakami’s tantalizing 50-homer potential comes with batting average risk. New York Yankees riser Luis Garcia Jr. and Tampa Bay’s reliable Yandy Diaz offer late value, but all eyes turn to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.—is this the end of his dominance or does he have one more elite run left? Get set for spirited rankings debates and bold predictions for fantasy’s first base landscape.

Playoff-hungry fantasy managers face critical roster decisions as September call-ups loom large. Can top prospects like Franklin Arreaz (Boston Red Sox), Aiden Miller (Philadelphia Phillies), and Ethan Salas (San Diego Padres) make the leap and swing leagues down the stretch? Matthew Ahne breaks down each player's path to the majors, highlighting Arreaz's eye-popping batting stats and glove, Miller's game-changing speed, and the obstacles keeping Salas and Reynold Rodriguez (St. Louis Cardinals) from immediate impact.

Attention shifts to must-stash IL players, with names like Felix Bautista (Baltimore Orioles), Corbin Burnes (Arizona Diamondbacks), and Drew Thorpe (Chicago White Sox) primed for late-season returns that could tip fantasy playoffs. Are these injured stars worth the gamble or potential dead weight?

Fantasy baseball playoffs are heating up and under-the-radar stars could be your ticket to a championship. Former top prospect Andrew Painter is hitting his stride for the Philadelphia Phillies, while Jacob Lopez of the Athletics and Aaron Nola are primed to bolster rotations down the stretch. Can these surging arms carry your roster when it matters most?

The conversation focused on must-add waiver wire players, spotlighting reliable closers Tanner Scott (Los Angeles Dodgers) and Grant Taylor (Chicago White Sox), plus explosive bats like Luis Robert (New York Mets), Spencer Jones (New York Yankees), and Lawrence Butler (Athletics). One concept discussed was the value of versatile hitters, with Nick Sogard (Boston Red Sox) and Ezequiel Duran (Texas Rangers) offering multi-position eligibility and hot streak potential. Will these pickups be enough to push your fantasy squad over the top as the season winds down?

Waiver wire gems could change your fantasy baseball season as hidden power surges and pitching matchups offer a crucial edge. Can Baltimore Orioles’ slugger Coby Mayo turn underlying stat momentum into a home run barrage? Key late-season pickups like Bryce Eldridge and Ryan Jeffers are sizzling, posting rising barrel rates and elite hard-hit percentages, while AJ Ewing and his Swiss Army knife position flexibility may soon reward patient managers.

Matthew Ahne spotlights stream-worthy arms, including Texas Rangers’ Cody Bradford’s juicy tilt against a slumping Los Angeles Angels lineup, and Colorado Rockies’ Cal Quantrill riding a hot streak into a favorable weekend matchup. Plus, Yusei Kikuchi’s injury return presents a high-risk, high-reward play against the struggling Rangers, and George Klassen’s recent form positions him as a sneaky add. Get the stats, strategy, and timing you need to seize your playoff push—who will carry your roster to victory?

Seattle Mariners ignite the fantasy baseball world by calling up Kade Anderson, MLB’s top pitching prospect. Will Anderson’s electric arsenal and dominant minor league track record translate into league-winning value down the stretch? Dominick Martino urges fantasy managers to act fast, examining Anderson’s upside, likely workload, and where he ranks among starting pitchers for 2027 drafts.

Way-too-early shortstop rankings add even more intrigue—Bobby Witt Jr., Elly De La Cruz, and CJ Abrams lead a field where youth battles established names like Gunnar Henderson, Trea Turner, and Francisco Lindor. Rising stars Kevin McGonigle, Zack Neto, JJ Weatherholt, and Konnor Griffin push for top-10 status. Who offers the most security, and who’s the breakout to target? Locked On Fantasy Baseball’s detailed analysis sets the stage for the 2027 fantasy season’s most critical draft decisions.
