Paul Skenes Faces Juan Soto, Aaron Judge in Impressive All-Star Game Start

We are back from the doldrums of the MLB All-Star break and welcomed with a hearty 11-game DFS slate. We are going to once again use the large slate formatting to sift through pitching archetypes and find spots we want to deploy pitchers as well as identify spots to avoid and attack. The goal here is to group our pitching options into categories that are similar and then build your lineup construction around mixing and matching archetypes of pitching with chalk versus low-rostered stacks.

Though Juan Soto and Aaron Judge had a great first half of the season for the New York Yankees, they failed to catch the duo of Mariners legends Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez in baseball history.

It’s hard to believe the 2024 MLB season is already at the All-Star break, but here we are. We have a little more time until the second half of the season officially kicks off, so we will be taking a look at the MLB awards outright markets, including MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year to provide an update on the preseason articles at these very same markets. Today, we will take a look at the Rookie of the Year Award.

2024 MLB Rookie of the Year Odds and Best Bets

Green Bay, WI

The new rookie class around the NFL gets all the attention over the summer. They’re the flashy new pieces for fantasy football, and of course they can be anything. But last year’s rookies aren’t fully formed yet. The players entering their second season aren’t the fancy new thing anymore. That can open up some value in fantasy drafts for players still due to break out, and it can lead to fantasy mistakes for players who had a good first season that turn out to be a mirage. Everyone knows Year 1 to Year 2 is one of the biggest jumps an NFL player can make, but this still happens.

Before you dive headlong into the names, you should note that these midseason prospect rankings follow a different set of rules than the preseason lists you're accustomed to. In those, eligibility is determined by playing-time thresholds. Only players with fewer than 130 major-league at-bats or 50 major-league innings are considered.

Fantasy football draft season is here. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to start your draft prep. One of the most useful weapons to have in your draft day arsenal is fantasy football tiers. With a tier-based approach, you can see how each player stacks up at his respective position. Tiers are slightly different from fantasy football rankings because it’s not just a straight list of players. These groupings allow for a more flexible approach to drafting that you can ultimately build into your draft board.
