A new week of the fantasy baseball season is here, but before we discuss anything for the coming week, let’s review the weekend.
We’re almost halfway through May; remember when it was just the beginning of the month? Time moves fast, despite what the MLB season sometimes feels like, and player/team performances can change even quicker. That’s why we at FantasySP are here every day to help you keep up with current trends and players to know.
Important dates on the NFL calendar tell us things about teams’ plans for the current season. The big moves on the first day of free agency by the Las Vegas Raiders proved they are going for the playoffs, not rebuilding in any way.
It’s a big day in starting pitching because Pirates’ prospect Paul Skenes, the first pick in last year’s draft, is making his big-league debut. Skenes isn’t a streamer both because he’s owned in too many leagues and because his opponent, the Cubs, have a good lineup.
The NFL Draft is in the books, meaning we are that much closer to the NFL season and fantasy football!

We already covered some potential fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups earlier in the week, but things change quickly in the MLB, so it’s time to discuss some more options going into the weekend.
There were just seven MLB games played on Thursday, May 9, so we’ll cover all of the top performances in this story instead of breaking things up into pitching and hitting stories like we typically do.
It’s getting to be the time that most people are spending their weekends outside rather than watching baseball religiously. There are die-hards, sure, but it’s only going to get harder to follow the daily happenings of Major League Baseball.
