The Cycle: 1st Half Check-In, Home Run Derby Draft, All-Star Game Takes (Ep. 863) Jul 12, 2024

Show notes

In this episode of The Cycle, Worm and Maher kick things off with a look at Drew Thorpe and Tobias Myers. We answer a burning listener question: Are you Team Thorpe or Team Christian Scott? We then move on to provide an update on Zack Wheeler’s injury and discuss whether we made a mistake by not including Justin Steele in last week’s ace conversation. As the MLB All-Star Game approaches, we share our thoughts and expectations.
In our “Buy Low, Sell High” segment, we highlight our favorite picks from this week’s featured pros article. Maher is eyeing Bo Bichette as a great buy-low candidate, while Worm suggests Bobby Miller for dynasty leagues.
With no two-start pitchers next week, the guys go head-to-head in a Home Run Derby Draft.
As always, the best free way to show your support and encourage more content like this is to leave a positive review at fantasypros.com/mlbreview/.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Cycle, FantasyPros’ weekly fantasy baseball podcast! In this episode, Worm and Maher start by rounding the bases with Luis Gil, discussing whether James Wood is finally a prospect who hits the ground running this year, exploring the mystery of ace pitchers, and making the case for rules changes we want to see.
Next, we dive into our Buy Low, Sell High segment, highlighting our favorite picks from this week’s featured pros article and touch on players such as Marcus Semien, Dylan Cease, Masyn Winn, and Steven Kwan. In Waivers Central, we share our top waiver wire targets for the week, including Andrew Abott and Dean Kremer.
We also discuss what we’re most excited for this weekend. Maher is looking forward to attending the Phillies vs. Braves game on Sunday, while Worm is excited about Aaron Nola vs. Max Fried on Friday, Paul Skenes vs. Mets, and Garrett Crochet vs. Marlins on Saturday.
Finally, we update our season-long 2-Start Pitcher Competition, where we can pick anyone but no repeats throughout the year. See who went with Nick Lodolo and who took Ronel Blanco as Maher looks to close the gap on Worm.
