24:00 - Some May facts
24:45 - 1. The Royals have been the second-best offense by OPS. Is this sustainable? Should we avoid using SPs against them?
31:30 - 2. The A’s, Angels and Giants have all been top-8 in OPS. The Dodgers are behind all of them. And even though Blue Jays fans want to trade all the hitters, they are above average in May OPS.
39:00 - 3. Short baseball games in Chicago right now, as the Cubs and White Sox are the bottom-2 teams in May OPS.
46:00 - 4. Only one team has been bottom-5 in OPS and ERA in May. I bet you wouldn’t guess that it’s Arizona.
53:00 - 5. The Mariners have a bottom-5 ERA. How is that possible with their starters?

Customer Reviews
Great pod
I’m a fan of Jeff, James, Scott, Todd, Clay, Fred and the gang. The Rotowire podcasts are in-depth but also easy to understand for the casual fan. They don’t overdo the new pitching analytics that seem more for the enjoyment of the hosts than the listeners. If you’re into dynasty there’s no one better than James Anderson so he’s a must listen and read. Make this pod part of your regular rotation!
Excellent pod
I listen to quite a few and this is my favorite fantasy BB podcast. Highly recommended!
I don’t listen to most of the episodes
I only listen to the episodes when the guy who talks prospects is hosting or Ryan Boyer is on.
