Fantasy Baseball Forecaster for Week 12: June 15-2...

Fantasy baseball's Week 12 comes with some unusual scheduling quirks due to FIFA World Cup matches affecting games in Kansas City, Philadelphia and Texas. It's the rare week where the only two days in which all 30 teams are scheduled to play are on Tuesday and Sunday. One additional, related note: The Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners , who were originally scheduled to play a split doubleheader at T-Mobile Park on Saturday due to World Cup matches in Seattle, are now scheduled to play a traditional three-game series Friday through Sunday.
