How to play Fantasy Baseball chapter 1-H2H




With the fever of MLB is so popular in Taiwan(though most Taiwanese like Yanks,which I disgust with),some baseball-related games are also catching on this tide.Fantasy Baseball is one of the best example.The popularity of fantasy games has grown tremendously in the last decade.The ability of the Web to deliver immediate sports statistics takes interaction with the sporting world to a whole new level, increasing the enjoyment of fantasy games by providing a more personal experience for sports fans of all ages and intensities.Despite running your team through then whole season,you can gain some experience about how to make transaction with others or plan your own winning ways.Every year some famous website like Yahoo or ESPN will build Fantasy Baseball system for millions of baseball fans.



Fantasy baseball can divide into two category-H2H and Rotisserie.H2H fantasy baseball and Rotisserie very similarly, but with some added twists.Here I will talk about H2H first.H2H is the short name of Head-to-Head. The overall concept of the H2H is simple - to draft the best players at each position in order to accumulate the most statistics in each of the ten(or more) scoring categories. However, instead of all ten teams in a league competing at once against each other, your team is matched up each week against another team in the league to see who can attain the most stats. For example,you may have a dominating week,outscoring your opponent by 10-0,and next week you could tie with your opponent by spliting the 10(or more) scores.If your hitters get in a slump and your pitchers are struggle,you may got "0" in the contest.Anything could happen in the game!



Some league opener may make some limits to the players,like innings pitching,transaction veto or waiver waiting.You shoud notice your league's rule to make sure about your team strategy.We will talk about the preseason draft and regular season team management in the following chapter.



At the end of the season,the league champion is determined through the playoffs!In general the half of the total teams will win the chance to break into the playoffs. Division winners and wild card teams in head-to-head baseball may not be determined until the last out of the season,and once again,in the competitive playofs contest,everything can happen.If you can grab the chance to pick up a player in hot streak in the key time through the 2~3 rounds competition,you will have great chance to win the pennant!Good Luck!
