There is always baseball happening almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: On June 18, the Red Sox lost 4-3 to the Blue Jays. The L dropped Bostons record to 29-43 no team in the history of Major League Baseball had ever made the postseason after starting out with a record as bad as that one. And no team has made the postseason despite a 29-43 start yet, either, but suddenly, the Red Sox are poised to change that with a strong second half. Boston swept the White Sox for its sixth-straight win, and now sits 2.5 games back of a wild-card spot in the AL. How? Well, for one, the Sox are 14-5 since that June 18 defeat, which has pushed their record to 43-48. This team has also severely underperformed: Bostons expected record, based on run differential, is 48-43, which would actually be good enough for the second AL wild-card right now. The Red Sox have also suffered a number of injuries to key players on top of the disappointing starts to the year for a whole bunch of healthy ones, which hasnt helped matters at all what this team is actually capable of has never really been on display, since its been months of the worst possible outcome for almost everyone in the lineup not named Willson Contreras. Boston won 2-1 on Thursday, and a score like that almost requires some quality defense. The Sox got it in left from Jarren Duran and in center from Ceddanne Rafaela. Both of those catches were in service of protecting a slim lead that arrived on the bat of third baseman Caleb Durbin. Durbins OPS was an abysmal .479 after an 0-for-2 performance on May 24. He didnt play again until May 28, and has hit .297/.343/.578 with eight homers and 19 extra-base hits across the 36 games and 140 plate appearances since. Durbin no longer being a massive hole in the lineup has been a considerable help with Bostons turnaround, and on Thursday very directly led to a W. Whether the Red Sox make the postseason or not remains to be seen, but that they are even within striking distance less a month after hitting what has, historically, been a point of no return is wild. If Boston plays like it wassupposed to from the beginning from here on out well, look at the AL right now. The Sox arent even .500 and are already just 2.5 back. You dont have to stretch your imagination too much to see this working for them in the end. On Wednesday, Mike Trout returned from the IL and hit a homer, helping the Angels to a win over the Rangers. On Thursday, Texas got Wyatt Langford back from injury, and similarly had a hit worth celebrating. Well get to that, though: first, some context. Nathan Eovaldi was lights out for the Rangers for six innings, striking out 10 batters with one walk allowed while giving up one run and five hits. Then the seventh inning happened. Eovaldi came back out, but things started off wrong, as third baseman Denzer Guzman reached first on catcher interference, and then catcher Logan OHoppe walked. Left fielder Wade Meckler hit a single to drive in a run, and that was the day for Eovaldi. Except, he bequeathed two runners to reliever Peyton Gray, and Gray walked shortstop Zach Neto to load the bases. While Trout grounded into a force out at home, that was also the first out of the inning and the bases were still juiced. First baseman Nolan Schanuel hit a two-run single 6-4, Rangers then DH Jorge Soler drove in Trout with a knock. Another new pitcher came in to get the final out of the inning following a strikeout of second baseman Vaughn Grissom, but Tyler Alexander couldnt avoid what now felt inevitable. Right fielder Jo Adell tied the game up with yet another single. This all ended up being merely setup for a dramatic ninth, however. Kirby Yates entered in relief for Los Angeles with the game still tied, 6-6, and allowed a leadoff single to nine-hitter Alejandro Osuna. Nicky Lopez came on as a pinch-hitter and dropped a sac bunt to get Osuna into scoring position, which brought up DH Wyatt Langford with a chance to win the game. And he did, on the third pitch he saw: Langford is a dangerous hitter on pitches inside, especially middle and low, and he rocketed a belt-high-and-in four-seam fastball to the fence 372 feet away at 98 mph that was only a single because the run scored and negated the need for a double. The dub gets Texas back over .500, and with the Mariners losing the Rangers are also half-a-game up on Seattle for first place in the AL West. Welcome back, Langford. The Giants downed the Rockies 8-2 to open up a four-game series between the teams fighting to stay out of the NL West basement. But heres what you really need to know about the game, in one short clip: There have been splash hits into McCovey Cove for decades now, but they just never get old. Its the visual of the ball striking water, sure, but also that it has to be a serious dinger to earn the right to splash: up and over everything, in the park that isthe worst for homers from left-handed hitters in baseball, perSavant, and second-worst for hitters of any kind. First baseman Bryce Eldridge has some serious pop, though, and showed it with his eighth homer of the year. Hes still a rookie, and just 21 years old there will be far more homers for him in the future, even in that park. Cubs-Orioles on Thursday was another banger, this time with Baltimore coming out ahead. Right fielder Tyler ONeill hit a homer for the third game in a row, and his Cubs counterpart, Seiya Suzuki, had a dinger of his own as well as an RBI double later on to drive in both of Chicagos runs. The difference in the game ended up coming in the bottom of the eighth, with the Orioles down 2-1. Pinch-hitter Jeremiah Jackson entered and hit his ninth double of 26, sending first baseman Pete Alonso around to attempt to score. Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong got to the ball first, and threw in to Nico Hoerner in shallow right-center the throw was received on a hop, with Armstrong gunning it from the warning track, and Hoerner was a little slow in turning to throw before firing off another throw that required a hop to make it to its target. The result? Alonso coming in to score the go-ahead run by a fingertip this one was even challenged by the Cubs. Now, PCA maybe did about all you can do from the distance he threw from, but Hoerners delayed and not particularly laser-like throw ended up costing Chicago. Its worth pointing this out, too, because earlier the Orioles executed an excellent relay to keep a run from scoring, when it was still 1-0 Cubs. Left fielder Taylor Ward threw it in to third from the warning track in left, and Coby Mayo caught it in the air before turning and firingto backstop Adley Rutschman. While Mayos throw had a similar delay to Hoerners, the throw was significantly better, getting to Rutschmans glove directly and allowing him to go straight for the tag from the moment he received it first baseman Michael Busch ended up out instead of scoring by about a step. And since Baltimore won by a single run, well. The difference between these relay attempts ended up mattering quite a bit! There has to be a more accurate term for whatever Jake Bauers was doing here. The important thing at least if youre a Brewers fan is that the DH was safe despite all of that. Or really,because of it. Bauers also drove in three runs with a dinger, his 17th of the year, so, pretty big game for him. This was a disaster start for Andre Pallante, who came into it with a 3.60 ERA in 17 starts but allowed six runs on 10 baserunners in five innings, shooting that number up to 3.96. The Cardinals werent able to mount a viable comeback, so Milwaukee won, 8-4, and is now a victory away from joining the Dodgers in the 60-win club. St. Louis, meanwhile, is three games back of a wild-card spot and 10 back of the Brewers in the NL Central. The team the Cardinals are behind in the wild-card race? The Miami Marlins. The Fish have been on a roll of late, leading MLB in wins in June by matching a franchise-best month with 20 dubs, and have now gone 16-4 in their last 20, matching another franchise-high for a 20-game stretch. Miami got there by defeating the Mariners, again, this time 8-4 to pick up the three-game sweep. Left fielder Griffin Conine had a three-hit day with a pair of runs and an RBI, which came on a solo homer in the second to tie the game 1-1. The fourth is where the Marlins broke things open, though, with a four-run inning punctuated by a two-run triple from shortstop Otto Lopez which ended up being the game-winning hit and he was then driven in by a single from first baseman Kyle Stowers to make it 6-1. Lopez is leading the majors with a .345 batting average, and its not an empty one: the 27-year-old is also leading the majors in doubles with 26, has six triples after Thursdays and has gone yard nine times, to boot, with enough singles besides to lead the majors in hits, too. Sure, hes been a bit lucky with his batting average on balls in play, but he was alsounlucky in BABIP a year ago theres been some underlying improvement to his game that his poor luck obscured in 2025 and his good luck is now overstating, but whats likely to be left in the end is a much more productive Lopez than the Marlins had prior to 2026. The Yankees got to Rays ace Colby Rasmussen, knocking him out after just 2 innings with six runs allowed. The party kept going against Tampa Bays bullpen, too, with New York eventually winning, 12-4. Designated hitter Ben Rice had quite a bit to do with all of that, going yard not once, but twice. Rice now has 28 homers on the year, and its not quite the All-Star break yet he had 26 homers during the entire 2025 season, but the 27-year-old is having a real breakout campaign right when the Yankees need it, i.e. with Aaron Judge still on the IL. Rice is participating in the Home Run Derby next week, and it sure seems like hes ready for it. You know who else is going to be at the Derby socking dingers? Junior Caminero. Hes also ready for the Home Run Derby, and hit his 27th long ball early against New York on Thursday. The Rays third baseman lost in the finals of last years Derby. He might not lose this year, not with the way hes gone yard with seeming ease of late. Philadelphia allowed five homers, three of them in a row, to the Reds in a loss on Wednesday. On Thursday, the Phillies got their revenge, courtesy the arm of Jess Luzardo. Luzardo didnt just keep the Reds in the park, he also kept them off the scoreboard with a seven-inning scoreless gem where he allowed just two hits and two walks against 11 strikeouts. Brady Singer was excellent for the Reds, too, but ever-so-slightly worse, allowing a single run in 7 . That difference was alsothe difference, as the Phillies would win 1-0 thanks to an RBI single by center fielder Justin Crawford in the top of the eighth off Singer. You only get one first-ever at-bat in the majors, and Eduardo Valencia made sure his was memorable. The Tigers used the rookie, in his big-league debut, as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning against the Athletics. He saw four pitches, and drilled the last of them 425 feet to center. A home run in a pinch-hit MLB debut at-bat incredible. Valencia would stay in the game and come back up again later as the DH, and end up hit by a pitch on a 2-0 count. Not all firsts are equal. Ryan OHearn had a grand slam and two three-run homers against the Braves earlier in the series, but on Thursday it was Atlanta clearing em all in one swing against the Pirates. First baseman Matt Olson got the scoring going in the top of the first with his 25th homer of the year and the Braves eventually went up 6-2 after four innings, before the Pirates whittled away at that lead and cut it to one by the bottom of the sixth. With Atlanta still up just 6-5 in the top of the ninth, right fielder Mike Yastrzemski put the game out of reach. That was his sixth homer of the year, and it was a big one, going 403 feet and nearly 105 mph off the bat. Reliever Dennis Santana has not been having a good season, but that dinger made it that much worse, as his ERA is now 5.95. The Pirates really need to upgrade their bullpen before the trade deadline. The Braves, at least, are looking pretty good despite a mini slump in June, one Atlanta seems to be coming out of this month. For as poorly as June went for Atlanta, its still tied for the third-most wins in MLB this season with 54.

Saturday brings the quarterfinals final two games as Argentina face Switzerland and England and Norway square off

By Justin Edwards, 4for4.com"Bad offense" is one of the easiest labels to slap on a fantasy football player, and it can be useful. Bad teams score fewer touchdowns, sustain fewer drives and create fewer spike-week opportunities. But fantasy football is not just "which teams are good?" It's volume, role, game script and how much of an offense flows through one player. A bad team can still create fantasy value if the touches or targets are concentrated enough. The harder part is figuring out which players can survive the environment and which ones are just getting dragged down with the rest of the offense.I looked at the bottom-five scoring offenses from each of the last five seasons and tracked how many fantasy-relevant players they produced, using half-PPR scoring and positional finish thresholds.Using the following cutoffs, I looked at how many players we actually got consistent fantasy production from despite a mostly inept offense surrounding them:QB1: top 12RB1/WR1/TE1: top 12RB2/WR2: top 24Flex-level RB/WR/TE: top 36, top 48, or top 18Below, we'll dig into what types of players can still produce on the worst offenses in the league, and how aggressively we should be attacking specific archetypes on teams we perceive to be heading into the season behind the curve.Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL seasonBad Offenses Still Produce Fantasy StartersThat header is technically true, but it needs a pretty massive qualifier. Fantasy players can produce on bad offenses, but as you may expect, fewer points on the board equate to fewer players we can feel confident in starting in our lineups.If fantasy production were distributed evenly across the league, a 25-team sample across five seasons would be expected to produce roughly nine top-12 quarterback seasons, 19 top-24 running back seasons, 19 top-24 wide receiver seasons and nine top-12 tight end seasons. From there, we can compare how the bottom-five scoring offenses (in points per drive) actually performed against that neutral expectation. I used the last five seasons to keep the sample large enough to matter while still reflecting the modern fantasy environment.Bad Offenses, 2021-2025TeamPoints per drivetop-12 QBstop-24 RBstop-24 WRstop-12 TEs25 Browns1.31010125 Raiders1.36010125 Titans1.41000025 Jets1.53011025 Saints1.68001024 Browns1.24000124 Giants1.49001024 Patriots1.61000024 Titans1.62010024 Raiders1.65000123 Patriots1.11000023 Jets1.16010023 Panthers1.20000023 Giants1.22010023 Steelers1.58000022 Colts1.42010022 Texans1.47010022 Broncos1.48001022 Jets1.52010022 Commanders1.56001021 Giants1.36000021 Jaguars1.39000021 Texans1.43001021 Panthers1.55010021 Bears1.630100Totaln/a01164FLEX Totaln/a013195As you can see in the table, the bottom-five offenses failed to even come close to the expected number of fantasy-relevant players; notching zero of our nine "even distribution" top-12 quarterbacks, 11 out of 19 running backs, six of our 19 wide receivers and four of our nine tight ends. In 2022, Russell Wilson was QB16 in total points and QB18 in points per game, which was the closest any quarterback in the sample came to sniffing consistent fantasy relevance.If we expanded this out to include FLEX options (top-36 RBs, top-48 WRs, top-18 TEs), it gets better, but, obviously, this is not where we want a majority of our fantasy points to come from. Interestingly, the sample slightly exceeded expectations when considering only additional flex-level players. But that is not quite as encouraging as it sounds. Those extra RB3/WR4/TE2 finishes did not make up for the massive shortfall in actual starters, which is why bad offenses still force us to be very careful about price.Finish TypeExpectedActualDifferenceTop-12 QB9.40-9.4Top-24 RB18.811-7.8Top-24 WR18.86-12.8Top-12 TE9.44-5.4Additional Flex Options32.8374.2The good news is that we at least know the worst-of-the-worst teams don't have to be completely ignored when looking for fantasy relevance. And the names that popped up even provided us with a blueprint of what type of player to look for when digging at the bottom of the barrel.The Archetypes That WorkVolume-Monopoly Running BacksThese are the cleanest bets. Underperforming offenses hurt ceilings, but if you're taking a vast majority of the snaps, your volume is still going to buoy you up the leaderboard. David Montgomery (74.3% snap rate, '21), Jonathan Taylor (69.7%, '22), Saquon Barkley (79.9%, '23) and Tony Pollard (68.9%, '25) are among the players from our five-year sample that rode incredible volume to easy starter-level finishes. If you think that is something that can't be projected, look no further than Ashton Jeanty last year, who notched a 77.9% snap rate.Target-Hog Wide Receivers at Discounted PricesThis one is probably the most intuitively obvious. These guys can survive because they are getting absolutely peppered with the ball, but pay attention to the price you have to pay to lock in that certainty. Bad offenses can easily turn them into WR2/WR3/FLEX options. Garrett Wilson (30.4% target share), Chris Olave (27.2%), and Malik Nabers (32.2%) are the guys that fit this bill, but even Nabers' 2024 season shows the push-pull. He led the league in expected fantasy points per game (20.3) but finished as the WR8 in actual fantasy points per game (14.6).Tight Ends with Barren Target CompetitionThis is a pretty small sample size we're working with, but one through-line is a weaker receiving group outside (and potentially including) the WR1. The leading non-WR1 on teams with our nine qualifying "bad team tight ends" averaged only 4.81 targets per game. And this was with seven of those nine teams finishing in the top half of the league in dropbacks, including the 2024 Browns and Raiders, who finished first and third, respectively.Maybe this just means the tight ends were straight-up better than that team's WR2, which is likely true in a lot of cases, but it also adds credence that we should be aiming for TEs that can be their team's No. 2 pass-catching option, particularly if they're on what projects to be a poor offense. [Visit 4for4 for more fantasy football analysis]The Archetypes That Usually FailAlmost Every QBSad, but true. One of our favorite go-to's in fantasy is aiming for rushing quarterbacks, even when they're on bad teams. But the thing is, if they're bad enough through the air that their team isn't scoring real-life points, they'll probably be benched anyway ('25 Justin Fields, '24 Will Levis). So keeping them in a streaming manner is probably the better path.Secondary WRs on Bad Passing OffensesOf the 25 top-48 finishers at the wide receiver position, almost none of them would be classified as their team's WR2. Forty-eight positional spots are giving a lot of leeway, and still no dice; there are simply too many good teams with multiple options clogging things up. Among the few players who would qualify would be 2023 George Pickens (WR32 - scored 53.2 half-PPR points in four games without Diontae Johnson) and 2022 Jahan Dotson (WR37 - scored 7 touchdowns on 35 catches). We don't particularly care where production comes from, but outlier seasons or chunks of the season that still only produce WR3 numbers aren't something worth chasing.Early-Down Backs Without Receiving WorkOf our 24 qualifying running backs in this subsect, not a single player fell below a 7% target share, and 13 had at least a 9% share. Backs working in this offensive environment need the added boost of the receiving work, because there are simply not as many touchdown opportunities to keep them afloat on carries alone.Applying This to the 2026 SeasonThe best way to implement this dive is to look into the teams most likely to be part of the bottom-five discussion before the season kicks off. There are no absolutes at this point in the calendar, but we can look at implied team totals derived from sportsbooks' spreads and pinpoint the teams most likely to wrap up at the bottom of NFL offenses.Bottom Seven Implied Team TotalsRankTeamAverage Implied Team Total26Tennessee Titans20.3427Carolina Panthers20.0928Las Vegas Raiders19.1129New York Jets18.9130Miami Dolphins18.8931Arizona Cardinals18.6432Cleveland Browns17.91Draft Targets Despite Low-Scoring ProjectionsWe've got some fairly obvious talents that we'll still gladly take on our fantasy squads, but we can still assume there's some risk, so it's important to be price-sensitive. Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson are no strangers to this list of "bad offenses", yet they continue to produce relevant seasons when healthy. This is mostly baked into their prices, as they are currently coming off boards as respective RB2 and WR2s. However, the closer they sneak to RB1/WR1 territory, the more we should be backing off.The Raiders also offer two obvious clicks in Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers, who should continue to see an outsized workload in an offense with questionable talent surrounding them. They're battling with Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor and Jack Bech none of whom are currently projected for over 40 catches so they (Bowers/Jeanty) could very easily lead the team in all major receiving categories.A lot of the other options in this batch of teams have obvious ceilings given their talent levels, though it does take a bit of projection. Jeremiyah Love and Tetairoa McMillan would be far easier clicks if they weren't in potentially shaky environments, but it's hard to imagine either one not getting a substantial amount of usage. They are premium talents who receive an understandable downgrade in drafts, which kicks them down a notch or two.Players to Avoid Due to Low-Scoring ProjectionsOne player who did not fit very nicely into our archetype buckets is Browns running back Quinshon Judkins. While barely hitting our 7% target share threshold (7.3%), he also saw just a 50.3% snap share over his 14 games, ceding work to both Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford. A sophomore breakout and a boost to his overall usage is very much in play, but there are enough red flags here (including a questionable offensive line) that elicit some trepidation.Secondary receivers, in general, are going to have a difficult time grasping for fantasy value in this bucket. Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalen Coker, Omar Cooper Jr./Adonai Mitchell, and Marvin Harrison Jr./Michael Wilson are hard sells at their current ADPs. It wouldn't be a huge shock if one of these options finished out the season beating their current prices, but as we've looked at in this exercise, it would make for quite the anomaly.Finally, the most painful takeaway I've got from this exercise is how rare a positive Malik Willis outcome is. Not only has a bottom-five team in points per drive not produced a top-12 quarterback in the five-year sample I used, but it hasn't happened since FTN started tracking the data in 2018. In moderately good news, it did mean I found Gardner Minshew's 2020 season when he finished as the QB14 in PPG (nine games), which was a bit better than Russell Wilson's QB16 finish, which had been the best mark. We would think the Dolphins wouldn't dare bench Willis for Quinn Ewers, but they're also neck-and-neck with the Cardinals for the lowest win total in the league. How confident can we really be?Play Yahoo's new College Fantasy Football game: Create or join a league now!Bottom LineGiven an even distribution of fantasy production, a typical NFL team should support 0.375 top-12 quarterbacks and 2.25 starter-level fantasy pieces in a given season. Across a full five-year, five-team scoring offense sample, that would work out to roughly 1.9 QB1 seasons and 11.3 starter-level players per year. Instead, the bottom-five offenses from 2021-2025 averaged zero QB1 seasons and only 4.2 starter-level fantasy pieces per year.The flex-level results were more forgiving. Based on an even distribution, we would expect the bottom five offenses to produce about 6.6 additional flex-level players per year. They actually produced 7.4, which tells us these offenses are not completely useless. The problem is that most of the value comes from depth pieces rather than true lineup anchors.The takeaway is not to ignore bad offenses entirely. It is to be ruthless about the types of players we draft from them. Chase locked-in volume, target hogs and tight ends with a real path to being the No. 2 option in the passing game. Be far more skeptical of quarterbacks, secondary receivers and early-down backs who need touchdowns from offenses that may not score enough of them.This story originally appeared on 4for4.com
