Episode Details

Pittsburgh Pirates' Jared Jones dazzles with six perfect innings, igniting debate over his fantasy baseball value as the All-Star break nears. Can Jones anchor your pitching staff for a playoff push, or will young arms like Boston’s Jake Bennett and Milwaukee’s Shane Drohan outshine him down the stretch? Dominick Martino spotlights must-add pitchers and examines their underlying metrics, recent hot streaks, and upcoming matchups, while also questioning whether relievers like Jacob Webb hold the keys to late-season saves.

Power batters are also on the rise—Oakland’s JJ Bleday brings legit home run upside, Mets rookie AJ Ewing flashes elite power-speed potential, and Washington’s Curtis Mead racks up multi-position eligibility and extra-base hits. Which waiver wire sleeper could turn into your league’s season-defining pickup? Don’t miss this power-packed rundown of fantasy baseball’s top pickups and strategy for dominating the second half.
