    One of the toughest things to do in Fantasy is still finding enough saves. As you continue to tweak your team, you need to know who to target in the ninth inning, and MLB Fantasy expert Paul Mammino can help you out.

    As a former college pitcher who graduated with a degree in mathematics and went on to get a masters in business intelligence and analytics, Paul brings a unique perspective to Fantasy analysis. He has written for a number of different sites covering baseball, most recently writing content for Friends With Fantasy Benefits. He became interested in quantifying the skills necessary for relievers to succeed in high-leverage roles, presenting his research at Saberseminar in 2017.

    And now that research is available for SportsLine users. Paul's ADERIP metric can help identify which pitchers are overachieving, and which ones are underachieving this year. 

    One thing he found: Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (3-3, 3.59 ERA, 25 saves), has been the victim of bad luck this year and has actually pitched better than his numbers indicate. 

    "The skills-based model still sees him as unlucky and actually views him as an above average reliever still," Mammino said. "He has not been the formerly dominant best closer in baseball since the 2017 season, but the big righty has actually performed better than he did in 2018 according to my model. There is no real reason to panic with him."

    The metric also identifies other bullpen pitchers who the numbers suggest are way overachieving or underachieving. You ABSOLUTELY need to see this research before making any Fantasy baseball decisions.
