With 2021 MLB Opening Day now just a few weeks away, owners are starting to take their 2021 Fantasy baseball draft prep seriously.

Can Bauer replicate his dominance in L.A.? A reliable set of 2021 Fantasy baseball rankings can help make sure you know where to target upper-echelon starting pitching and also guide you to the 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers who will define the upcoming season. Before you go on the clock, check out the 2021 Fantasy baseball cheat sheets and rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Last season, SportsLine's Projection Model identified several top Fantasy baseball sleepers, including Dodgers catcher Will Smith. The 25-year-old was No. 6 catcher in Fantasy baseball last year, outperforming Yasmani Grandal, Mitch Garver and Gary Sanches, who were all drafted well ahead of him on average. Smith wound up hitting eight home runs with 25 RBIs and posting a .980 OPS that was over 70 points better than in his breakout season in 2019.

The team at SportsLine was all over Smith as a Fantasy sleeper from the start. Their model had him listed much higher than expert consensus rankings, and anyone who listened to their advice was well positioned for a league title.

Their model is powered by the same people who powered projections for all three major Fantasy sites. And that same group is sharing its 2021 Fantasy baseball rankings and cheat sheets over at SportsLine, helping you find Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts and busts long before your competition. Their cheat sheets, available for leagues on many major sites, are updated multiple times every day. Any time an injury occurs or there's a change on a depth chart, the team at SportsLine updates its Fantasy baseball cheat sheets.

In fact, when it came to ranking players in Fantasy football, SportsLine's Projection Model beat human experts last season when there were big differences in ranking. And the model was the closest to the hole overall, meaning it best pinpointed where every player would finish each week. That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.

Now, the model has simulated the entire 2021 MLB schedule 10,000 times and revealed its top 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts, and busts. You can get its Fantasy baseball cheat sheets 2021 here.

One of the 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers the model is all over: Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela. The 29-year-old right-hander hit .298 last season with six home runs and 30 RBIs. Urshela also smacked 11 doubles and scored 24 runs in 43 games.

Urshela struggled with a bone chip in his right elbow last season, eventually having surgery on Dec. 4 to remove it. Urshela has looked strong in spring training work, though, and could even shift over one position to give starting shortstop Gleyber Torres a day off during the season. SportsLine's model is high on Urshela's budding versatility, ranking him among MLB's top-15 third basemen and well ahead of players like Tommy Edman, Ke'Bryan Hayes and Alec Bohm, despite a 2021 Fantasy baseball ADP of 185.45.

Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy baseball rankings 2021 are extremely high on: Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac. The 26-year-old had a strong rookie season in 2019 in which he posted a 3.81 ERA and 88 strikeouts over 115 2/3 innings. He was even better in 2020 and refined his arsenal to help generate more swings and misses.

Plesac had a 2.28 ERA and struck out 57 batters thanks to an increased reliance on a slider with a 42.7 percent whiff rate. He also made changeup improvements that helped him improve his whiff rate with that pitch from 24.4 percent in 2019 to 35.6 in 2020. That's why the model ranks him ahead of pitchers like Jack Flaherty and Aaron Nola, who are being drafted nearly three rounds earlier on average.

SportsLine is also high on a first baseman with a Fantasy baseball ADP 2021 barely inside the top 10 who finishes ahead of studs like defending AL MVP Jose Abreu and Yankees first baseman Luke Voit. This pick could be the difference in winning your league or going home with nothing. You can see who it is here.

So which 2021 Fantasy baseball sleepers should you snatch in your draft? And which undervalued first baseman can help you win a championship?
