MLB fantasy baseball

One decision at a time

Put your roster in the conversation.

  • Fill the lineup that can score

    Compare eligible hitters using your scoring, remaining games and open slots. Check daily or weekly locks and confirmed lineups; a scheduled team game does not guarantee a player appearance. Work through a lineup choice

  • Price the whole pitching pickup

    Weigh the possible start, the player you would drop and the add you would spend. Include innings or starts limits, ratio exposure and how long you need the roster spot. Compare waiver options

  • Balance bats and arms in a trade

    Ask which starting slots or categories a deal improves and what it costs elsewhere. Include keeper rules, roster eligibility and any missing context about your team’s needs. Evaluate a baseball trade

Start with the way you score.

Points: use your hitting and pitching weights

Review how your league scores hitter events and pitcher results, including negative values. Strikeouts, walks, wins and quality starts may have different weights or may not score at all. Compare options using the imported formula and any missing custom rules.

Categories: identify the race you can change

Specify your categories, such as batting average or on-base percentage, wins or quality starts, and saves or holds. ERA and WHIP are ratios, so another pitching appearance can help or hurt. In rotisserie, weigh season standings and remaining innings or games limits.

Your next steps

Set the lineup. Budget the innings.

  1. Check locks and eligibility

    Review your lineup deadline, open positions and the schedule. In a weekly-lock league, consider the whole scoring period before it locks; daily changes depend on your provider’s rules.

  2. Count the limits before the add

    Give Guru any missing innings minimum, innings cap, starts cap or remaining-add count. Compare the expected benefit with the drop and the flexibility you would lose.

  3. Confirm the plan on your platform

    Check current lineups, starting pitchers, postponements and deadlines on the source platform. Submit the move there, then refresh or re-import your Draft Guru copy as supported before the next decision.

No connected team yet?

Start with a general question in Guru. For advice with your saved roster and scoring in view, connect your team and select that league. Check its last-sync time and supply recent changes or rules that are missing.

Bring your league

Connect where you already play.

Choose your provider after signing in. These connections read a copy of your league for advice; make your moves on the platform where it plays.

ESPN

Connect MLB points, category or rotisserie leagues and review the imported scoring. For a private ESPN league, use a saved ESPN connection or set one up with the extension on a computer. Manual and optional daily refresh have provider-specific requirements.

Fantrax points leagues

Connect a supported points league. Fantrax uses a Secret ID and imports rosters and settings, not source matchups or standings. Re-import Fantrax to refresh; automatic refresh is not included.

Ask a more useful question.

Suggested prompts. Replace the details with your own situation in Guru.

  • Compare these eligible hitters for my open slot using my scoring, lineup lock and the remaining schedule I provide.

  • Using these category totals and innings limits, explain the upside and risk of adding this pitching start.

  • Would this trade improve my starting lineup? Compare the hitting help with the pitching depth I would give up.

Before you ask

Know what goes into the answer.

Which MLB leagues can I connect?

ESPN supports MLB points, category and rotisserie leagues. Fantrax supports MLB points leagues and needs a re-import to update the saved copy. Sleeper does not support MLB connections. Check the imported scoring and roster settings before asking.

Can I ask about daily and weekly lineups?

Yes. Tell Guru your lock schedule and eligible roster slots, especially when those details are missing from the import. Check confirmed lineups and pitching assignments on the source platform; a scheduled game or projected start is not a guarantee.

Does Guru know my innings cap or current category totals?

Do not assume every limit or matchup detail was imported. Review the connected copy and supply anything missing, including current innings, remaining starts, add limits and category totals. Fantrax imports do not include source matchups or standings and do not refresh automatically.

Where do I make a lineup, waiver or trade move?

For a connected league, make the move on its source platform. For a league hosted on Draft Guru, use its league tools; waiver options are inside the league’s Players tab. Review the deadline and any required drop before confirming.

Can I try Guru for free?

Yes. Start with the Free plan and check its current message and connection allowances. Compare the plans before choosing the tools you need.
