In the blink of an eye we find ourselves preparing our weekly lineup for week 11 of this fantasy baseball season. While many of us have experienced both triumphs and hardships, we all share one thing in common: the love for fantasy baseball. Just a few weeks ago we were doing our draft prep, getting ready to assemble the winning squad. Well, eleven weeks later we are here, slaving over our lineups, trying to figure out what matchups to exploit. We also are dealing with some serious trust issues with underachieving players at this juncture. Are we going to get eight shutout innings from Taijuan Walker or are we going to see seven runs in three innings? How much playing time will Joey Gallo lose this week? He and the Rangers are scheduled to face five southpaws and Gallo has struck out nine times in 13 at-bats against lefties.
Let’s go through the MLB Weekly Preview for MLB Week 11:

Player News
Tanner Scott struck out three in a scoreless ninth to get a save Wednesday versus the Rockies.
Scott did allow a hit, so it’s up to others to determine whether he struck out the side. Whether he did or not, it’s as good as Scott has looked as a Dodger, and he threw 11-of-11 pitches for strikes; impressive regardless, but especially for a pitcher who sometimes has issues with control. Scott should continue to see plenty of save chances for this loaded Dodgers’ club.
Freddie Freeman doubled and homered in the Dodgers’ win over the Rockies on Monday.
Michael Toglia hit a grand slam, but the Rockies lost Monday to the Dodgers.
Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a homer and two RBI in an 8-7 win Saturday over the Rockies.
Bobby Miller allowed six earned runs over three innings in a no-decision vs. the Rockies on Wednesday.
Miller was making his first start of the 2025 season, and it’s hard to fathom it went how he wanted it to. Fortunately for him and the fantasy managers who streamed him against the lowly Rockies, he received seven runs of support while he was in, so he wasn’t charged with a loss. He did strike out seven, but he allowed eight hits as well; two of those hits leaving the ballpark. The biggest blow was a grand slam by Michael Toglia, buth e pitched shakily — to put it nicely — for most of the contest. There’s no start scheduled, but if Miller does get another outing, it’ll likely come against the Cubs on Wednesday.
Germán Márquez recorded just two outs while being charged for seven runs in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Márquez was handed a 1-0 lead going into his first and final inning, and it lasted just four pitches before Shohei Ohtani smashed a solo homer. He gave up another homer two batters later to Freddie Freeman, and the 30-year-old allowed four more hits and the same amount of runs before exiting. It’s hard to imagine that anyone used Márquez that didn’t have to Wednesday, but for those who did: whoops. He’ll be on the mound next week against the Royals and look to lower and unsightly 8.27 ERA.
