House's BABIP should follow.After[...] Keep on reading: T.J. House (SP, CLE) -- 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

My two-week fantasy playoff game is going terribly. My opponent not only swept me during the regular season, but he is now pummeling me to a fantasy pulp.  To make matters worse, he is using my streamers strategy to perfection.  It seems he doesn't sleep because every time I want to pick up a pitcher off the waiver wire, he's already beaten me to the punch.  Barring some miracle like Clayton Kershaw getting absolutely rocked in his next start, I've calculated my win probability at about 4[...] Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 24 (Part 2)
