Fantasy baseball's Week 13 is one of the busiest to date, with 97 total games scheduled and 14 teams set to play on all seven days. American League-only leagues benefit most, as eight of the 15 teams have seven-game weeks.

Though the teams involved are currently separated by wide amounts in the standings, a trio of rivalries highlight the Week 13 weekend schedule: The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox play a four-game series at Fenway Park; the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres meet for three games at Petco Park; and the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers tangle for three at American Family Field.

Those series project to see several high-profile starters pitch, including the Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski (projected to start on Friday), Yankees' Gerrit Cole (Saturday) and Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Saturday).

The mathematical midpoint of the 2026 fantasy baseball season arrives during fantasy's Week 13. Assuming no postponements before then, 50% of this year's schedule will be in the books once six games become official on Friday. It's another good time in the year to take stock of where your fantasy team is in the standings, and make moves to address any shortcomings.
