Fantasy Baseball Week 22: Must-Start Pitchers for the Playoffs

Welcome to the most critical stretch of the fantasy baseball season! In this playoff edition of Bourbon and Ball, Doug and Mikey V dive deep into Week 22 strategies to help you navigate the high-stakes environment of the fantasy post-season. Whether you are fighting for a title or trying to survive the first round, we have the data and matchups you need to stay ahead of the competition. ⚾️🏆

This week is all about precision and avoiding the trap of overthinking your roster moves. We break down the elite pitchers you must start, including the resurgence of Gerrit Cole and the dominance of the Dodgers rotation. On the flip side, we identify dangerous starts for popular names like Hunter Brown and George Kirby that could sink your week if you are not careful. We also discuss the philosophy of trusting your studs versus playing the matchups during the most stressful weeks of the year. 📉🔥

We also highlight the best team schedules for streaming hitters, focusing on the Rockies at home and a favorable slate for the Guardians. Stay tuned for crucial injury updates on stars like Juan Soto and Ketel Marte, along with deep-league streamers like Nick Gonzalez and Keider Montero who could be the difference-makers in your lineup. Don't let months of hard work go to waste by missing out on these waiver wire gems. 💎💪
