In This League Fantasy Baseball

In This League is hosted by Chris Welsh, a long-time fantasy baseball grinder who treats the hobby the way other people treat poker. The show is exactly what it sounds like, focused on actual league situations rather than abstract player rankings. Chris runs and participates in a stupid number of high-stakes leagues every season, and he brings that real-world context to every episode. If he is telling you to fade a second baseman, it is because he just watched that guy tank his Tout Wars team. The show leans explicit, so headphones at work, and the tone is loose with plenty of tangents about bad beats, dumb trades, and the agony of a bullpen collapse on a Sunday night. Guests are a who's who of fantasy baseball writers and industry analysts, including regular appearances from Grey Albright of Razzball, Paul Sporer, and prospect writers from FanGraphs. Episode formats vary. Some are pure strategy breakdowns, others are mock drafts, and during the season there are quick-hit waiver shows. Chris is opinionated, does not hedge his calls, and is willing to be publicly wrong, which is honestly more useful than the safe middle-of-the-rankings advice you get elsewhere. If you take fantasy baseball seriously and want a show that treats it like a competitive hobby rather than a casual game, this belongs in your subscriptions.
