In this week’s episode of The Cycle, hosted by Mike Maher and Kelly Kirby, we dive deep into the latest fantasy baseball strategies and player evaluations. We discuss who to Start, Stash, or Scrap, featuring players like Alec Burleson and Luis Gil, and analyze the MLB Starting Pitcher Power Rankings. We also delve into a sports betting scandal involving Tucupita Marcano, with Maher’s hot take on its impact.

We also touch on players we’re buying low and selling high, and which ones we’re targeting on waivers this week. And with Worm on vacation, Kelly makes a pick for him in the season-long two-start pitcher competition.
