Chase Burns to be Called Up, Will Start Tuesday Versus Yankees

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Chase Burns is expected to be called up from Triple-A Louisville and make his major league debut on Tuesday at home against the Yankees. Burns is the Reds' top-ranked prospect (MLB No. 11) and was selected by the team in the 2024 Draft. The right-hander did not make his professional debut […]

Shea Langeliers Takes Batting Practice

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers (oblique) was able to take part in batting practice ahead of Saturday's game. Langeliers looked good swinging the bat and was crushing the ball, so it sounds like he's making good progress. He's currently working his way back from an oblique injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list in […]

Bryce Harper Hitting Soft Toss

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hand) progressed to hitting soft toss this weekend. Harper has been slowly ramping up his activities but appears to still have quite a while to go before returning to the Phillies lineup. He continues to work his way back from right-wrist inflammation that has sidelined him since early June. […]

Christopher Bell Probably Not Dominant Enough Recently for DFS Play

After his hat trick of wins early this season, Christopher Bell has cooled off considerably in recent months in terms of dominating races. After a 2024 when Bell led over 20 laps eleven times and over 100 laps six times, he has only led more than eight laps twice this season. However, he has remained […]

Bubba Wallace's Lack of Pocono Qualifying Time Makes Him a DFS Must-Have

After three straight crashes, Bubba Wallace sat in a precarious playoff position after the Coca-Cola 600, but after three stronger runs subsequently, he has cemented his playoff position and he is going to a track where he has been very consistent. In his five Pocono starts for 23XI Racing, Wallace has never finished worse than […]

Ross Chastain Not As Good a DFS Option As Usual at Pocono

As usual, Ross Chastain qualified poorly but unlike most weeks, he isn't one of the absolute best DFS options like he usually is because he has never posted a top ten finish at Pocono before. He has had speed at times, particularly in 2022 when Denny Hamlin wrecked him out of the lead during their […]

Chase Briscoe Qualified Too Well for DFS Consideration

Chase Briscoe earned his best starting position at Pocono Raceway when he qualified sixth for today's race. He has not had much success at Pocono in the past as although he has finished on the lead lap in all five of his races, he has never finished better than 15th but he did that with […]

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.'s Feud with Carson Hocevar Will Be His Only Pocono Storyline Today

After Carson Hocevar wrecked Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. twice in the last three weeks, that effectively eliminated Stenhouse from the playoff picture. He didn't deserve it anyway since he has been extremely mediocre and had merely been lucky not to have a DNF prior to that, but it was still not cool of Hocevar to do […]

Pocono One of Daniel Suarez's Stronger Tracks

Although Daniel Suárez disappointed last weekend in his home race, he's coming to a track where he has had a fair amount of success. In addition to winning the pole in 2018, Suárez has four top tens at Pocono including a second and a third, but most of that success came in his years when […]

Ryan Preece Looks to Close Playoff Deficit to Teammate Chris Buescher

Shane van Gisbergen's win at Mexico City was a sharp blow to Ryan Preece's chances of making the NASCAR playoffs but he remains alive in the playoff hunt and trails his teammate Chris Buescher by a mere 19 points. When considering Preece seems to be faster than Buescher as often as not, it's definitely still […]

Another Learning Experience for Shane van Gisbergen at Pocono

Everyone knew Shane van Gisbergen's season entirely hinged on whether or not he won a road course race in the regular season. After his win at Mexico City last weekend placed him in the playoffs, he's back to his regular schedule of struggling to learn NASCAR's numerous oval circuits. SVG has driven at Pocono once […]

Michael McDowell's Poor Qualifying Makes Him Worthy of DFS Consideration

Michael McDowell qualified slowest of the three Spire Motorsports cars at Pocono as he qualified 28th while Justin Haley was 22nd and Carson Hocevar was 3rd. This suggests he might have some value for DFS Place Differential points given Hocevar's speed. However, it is more likely given his recent form that Hocevar is fast due […]

Ty Dillon Consistent at Pocono at a Very Low Level

Ty Dillon has consistently kept it clean at Pocono but he's never quite been relevant. Dillon, who starts 27th today, has finished all 12 of his Pocono races and has completed all but nine laps at the triangle. Earlier in his career, he was even better than that with three top twenties in his first […]

Expect a Mediocre Pocono Run from Justin Haley

Justin Haley is having a low-key disastrous NASCAR Cup Series season this year, possibly due to his crew chief Ryan Sparks, who also helped make Corey LaJoie look worse than he was in previous years. While Haley doesn't crash as much as LaJoie, he has almost never been relevant this season even though his teammate […]

When Will Hunter Greene, Cole Ragans, Nathan Eovaldi Return? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

Strong starting pitching is one of the keys to success in fantasy baseball, but starting pitchers also rarely stay healthy for an entire season. Like the major league teams, fantasy managers have to navigate injuries expertly throughout the course of the long season, especially during the grind of the summer months. Keeping up with the […]

Cody Ware Might Not Get Lapped, but He Still Won't Run Well

Cody Ware was one of four drivers who failed to post a time in qualifying for today's race at Pocono. As a result, he will be starting 36th for the race. Because Pocono is one of the longest tracks on the schedule, NASCAR's mandatory stage cautions make it extremely difficult for drivers to be lapped. […]

NASCAR is at Pocono Raceway for The Great American Getaway 400 on Sunday afternoon. Nicknamed "The Tricky Triangle," Pocono is a massive 2.5-mile flat track that has some characteristics of a road course, while also being an intermediate venue.

MLB Home Run Player Prop Bets Today: Best Hitter HR Props (6/22/2025)

We saw a lot of balls leave the yard yesterday as the hot weather and good hitting conditions continue to drive up scores around the league. Today should be more of the same, with at least six or seven stadiums featuring warm weather and winds blowing out. I'll try to target these ballparks with my […]

Brandon Nimmo Goes Yard Twice in Win

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in his team's 11-4 win against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's the 32-year-old's second two-homer effort in the last ten days, giving him 15 on the season. Nimmo missed a few games with a calf issue in late May, but […]

Jose Quintana Back in the Win Column

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jose Quintana fired six shutout innings in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Minnesota Twins. The Colombian native allowed three hits and struck out one while issuing four free passes to improve to 5-2 through ten starts. Quintana landed just 52 of 90 pitches for strikes, but was the beneficiary of plenty […]
