2026 MLB Best Ball Check-In: Advance Rates, Fades & Regrets ft. Jason & Brad

The Stacking Dingers Show - Episode 71 Jason and Brad from Jason and Brad Draft a Dinger join Sheep for a mid-season best ball check-in. Both guests are running hot with advance rates north of 30% on their teams — so what are they doing right, and where do they wish they had zigged instead of zagged? The crew breaks down three categories every best ball player is thinking about right now: the guys you drafted heavily who aren't holding up their end of the bargain, the players you faded that you're now wishing you had more of, and the mid-level targets that are quietly making rosters look smart. On the hot seat: Matt Chapman and the Giants offense as a whole, who have been a drain on rosters leaning that direction. Jordan Walker, Kyle Schwarber, and Drafke Baldwin get the "why did I fade him" treatment. Andy Pages and Christian Walker round out the conversation as the mid-tier guys quietly punching above their weight .If your best ball rosters are sweating through the middle of the season, this one is worth your time. ⏱ 54 minutes 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode. 🎙️ Become a Stacking Dingers YouTube Member to join our private Discord community: https://discord.gg/9xYPzUFcqC Follow us: Substack: www.stackingdingers.com X: https://x.com/StackingDingers
