Noah Syndergaard Should Improve Strikeout Totals On Saturday

If you invested a high draft pick on New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, you’ve likely been pleased, but not overwhelmed, with the results he’s provided this season. Across 46 2/3 innings pitched, Syndergaard owns a 3.09 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a 10.41 K/9; fantastic numbers for most pitchers, slightly disappointing for one […]

Marco Estrada Not A Recommended Play On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada may have rebounded against the Tampa Bay Rays last Sunday, but that doesn’t make him a good play on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox.

T.J. Rivera Expected Back In July

New York Mets infielder T.J. Rivera has been out since June 2017 with a partially-torn UCL, and the latest word is the team does not expect him back until July.

With the New York Mets losing a heck of a lot more than they’re winning as of late, closer Jeurys Familia has been collecting dust waiting for opportunities to pitch.

Michael Conforto Is Waking Up

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz had his second consecutive solid outing on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, but it remains tough to trust him moving forward.

Huge Night For Luke Maile

Carlos Gomez Drives In Two Friday Versus Baltimore

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez drove in two runs Friday versus the Orioles. He would hit an eighth-inning triple that drove in two runs and then would come around to score in the same inning. Unfortunately, the Rays were already down 8-1 going into the inning, largely due to Manny Machado's two home runs […]
