Every week Scott White delivers a fresh batch of fantasy baseball advice, and this week’s edition focuses on the often‑overlooked pitchers who can swing a lineup. His column is a staple for CBS Sports fantasy participants, especially those who monitor roster percentages closely.
The core of White’s recommendations is a simple rule: spotlight players who are rostered in less than 80 percent of CBS Sports leagues. This threshold helps separate true sleepers from the more widely owned assets, giving savvy participants an edge in the waiver wire.
Top Endorsements and Diamondbacks Highlights
White singles out only the top two or three pitchers as full‑throated endorsements, meaning they deserve immediate consideration for starts. Among them are a couple of Arizona Diamondbacks arms whose recent performances have aligned perfectly with favorable matchups.
The remainder of the list is less about unqualified praise and more about making the best of a bad situation. These pitchers may not be ideal starters, but they offer upside in specific contexts, such as favorable ballpark factors or opponent weaknesses.
What to Watch on Sunday
Injuries, weather shifts, and last‑minute lineup changes can dramatically alter the landscape. White urges readers to revisit his column on Sunday for the latest updates, ensuring that any new developments are reflected in your roster decisions.
