MLB Betting Picks for Wednesday 4/14 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things started out strong on both plays, then Ryan Yarbrough got lit up and the Rangers pulled away, ending any hopes of a Rays win. The over in the Marlins/Braves game panned out exactly like I expected, with both starting pitchers getting rocked often. A split on record with a small loss in profit on […]

Statcast Hitter Leaderboard: Maximum Exit Velocity

Although we technically got Statcast data as soon as the first pitch of the 2021 season was thrown, any good sabermetrician knows that sample size matters. It's still quite early in the season but we can't wait to start digging into the stats, so let's start this year's iteration of the Statcast Hitter Leaderboard by […]

Fantasy Baseball Closers to Target

Diving head-first into relievers who have converted saves early in the season is typically fine but whatever is going on this season is very, very odd. If my math is correct, there are now 35 different relievers who have at least 1 save so far this year. After one week of games. Crazy. — Greg […]

Champ or Chump: Jonathan India

The NL Central was among the most wide-open divisions in all of baseball coming into the season. The Milwaukee Brewers were the favorites if you believe the projected standings at FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus, but oddsmakers tended to favor the St. Louis Cardinals after their splashy addition of Nolan Arenado. The Cubs still had their […]

Top 50 Fantasy Baseball Prospects for Week 3

Week 3 of the Major League Baseball season is underway and we're already witnessing some impressive rookie performances led by Chicago's surprise contributor Yermin Mercedes and Miami's impressive young arm Trevor Rogers.

Bullpen Report: What We Learned in Week 2

Relievers have become more and more important in fantasy baseball in recent years.
