FAQs

How does CBS fantasy baseball work? ›

You will acquire players for your team within a League through a draft. Leagues can draft players via one of two ways: a "Live Draft" or an "Automated Draft." During a Live Draft, all ten (10) League participants (the "managers") log in to an on-line 'draft room' at a scheduled time.

Rotisserie, or "Roto," is the most common way to play fantasy baseball. In this scoring type, teams are ranked from first to last in each statistical category. Points are then awarded according to the order in each category and totaled to determine an overall score and league rank.

A starting pitcher records a quality start when he pitches at least six innings and allows three earned runs or fewer. A starting pitcher has two jobs: to prevent runs and get outs.

At each of your roster deadlines (daily, weekly, or intermittent, depending on your league setup), you'll need to decide whether to use Ohtani at hitter or pitcher, and you'll accumulate his stats for that position only.

Besides manipulating fantasy lineups, there are other ways to do this. Drafting or acquiring hitters from more productive offenses, hitters who hit earlier in the lineup, hitters whose teams have more favorable daily or weekly matchups or pitchers who can claim the same on that side.

FIP - Fielding Independent Pitching

FIP is expressed numerically the same as ERA. Why does this stat matter for fantasy? FIP is a great stat for evaluating pitchers for fantasy baseball to see if they are due for a correction. A pitcher with a low FIP but a high ERA has most likely been unlucky and should be targeted.

Base on Balls (BBH) or Walk

Each of the on-strike batters will be given points only for one of the following actions – 1B, 2B, 3B or Home Run. Any non-strike batter will not be given any points for completing the bases (1B to 2B, 2B to 3B, etc.)

What is 5x5 scoring in fantasy baseball? ›

5x5 means a roto league with five hitting categories and five pitching categories. You try to finish at the top of the league in as many of those categories as possible.

Total bases are strictly what comes from batter hits such as singles, doubles or home runs. If a player walks, it doesn't count as a base. Similarly, being hit by a pitch, stealing a base, or advancing on a wild pitch also does not contribute to the total bases tally.

Don Sutton has the most career quality starts, with 483.

Who has the most regular-season quality starts?

Points within these matchups are scored based upon a player's accomplishments in a select group of statistical categories. For example, a hitter might earn one point per total base and one per RBI, so a home run with no one on base would earn that hitter five points.

ESPN.com includes quality starts in its "Stat Leaders" section, and terms a loss suffered by a pitcher in a quality start as a "tough loss" and a win earned by a pitcher in a non-quality start a "cheap win".

You draft your team of the best players from across the NFL and receive points based on those players' performance in NFL games each week of the football season. You set lineups, propose, accept and reject trades, sign free agents, and compete against other teams in your league.
