The temptation is there, staring every MLB betting fantasy owner that feels as though he is in contention right in the face. The opportunity to mortgage the future by sending some top draft picks and perhaps a couple of young star prospects to a team that is out of the running in order to secure immediate help in an effort to improve their roster for a chance at winning this year. When it comes to fantasy baseball, a strong prediction for a given week is nearly impossible, and that is why it is always wrong to go all in.
For example, if a manager is in the top four in a given league but knows that they will have a tough time winning it all with the roster that they have, the worst things to do is send a couple of high picks and a young talent to another team in order to land a superstar. While that superstar could have a huge week when you need it more, the chances are with the season winding down that he could also be a bust down the stretch. In this situation not only will the manager not win it all that year, but they will also have already conceded their chance to draft high the following year. In all cases, make a move if it can help your team, but not at the risk of hurting the outlook for next sports betting season.
