BEAST DOME NATION.

It’s now or never time.  Ask me your fantasy baseball questions as we head towards the end stretch of the season!  Expect a Waiver Wire article coming Saturday night.

 

Ryan Braun: Continues to enjoy his new steroid injection with another HR.  Amazing what a day off to Braun can do with his 4th HR in three games, since leaving Coors.

Mike Fiers: Has another bad start, one more and I am expecting him to be shut down very soon, already a career high in one season with INN pitched in his entire life.

Albert Pujols: Back to being a monster hitting #27, he will definitely pass 35 and everyone panicked, I said BUY BUY BUY.

Paul Konerko: Keeps the power stroke going against the lefty Bruce Chen.  2 HRs in 2 Games since returning from the DL.

Giancarlo Stanton: Hits his 3rd HR in as many games in Coors.

Curtis Granderson: GW gives Granderson the reverse Physcology in the chat to get Granderson going.  Works every time.  Adds another HR today after one Friday.

Ryan Ludwick: Still has his big power stroke going with 6 HRs in the last 9 games.

Todd Frazier: Hit another HR and is HAVING A MONSTER WEEK.  Glad I put him as the cover man of my predicted 2nd half Waiver Wire All-Stars.

 

 

 

Ask me any fantasy questions about players.

STACK OF THE DAY (AUGUST 19th)

**NEW. NEW. I pick the stack of the day, you pick the hitters and see the points rally up.

Week 20 Average Fantasy Points Per Game: 26.37

Stack of the Day:

REDS

Chris Volstad knows a thing or two about getting slammed.  This start should be no exception against a Red team that is mashing the ball.

 

*The More BEAST DOME icons I see all-around DRAFTSTREET, the more info I will publish publicly.  If you want a team e-mailed use the BEAST DOME icon, and e-mail [email protected] saying you’ve uploaded the icon and want a team.

 

BET OF THE DAY (August 19th:)

 

Week 12: 6-1

Week 13: 5-2

Week 14: 3-4

Week 15: 1-2

Week 16: 4-3

Week 17: 5-2

Week 18: 5-2

Week 19 : 4-3

Week 20: 4-0

REDS MONEY LINE

Matt Latos has been one of the best pitchers in the NL over the past month, and he should completely shut down the Cubs who are a terrible road offense.  Chris Volstad also takes the mound for the Cubs, and that means trouble is written all over this one.
