Merrill Kelly Tagged With The Loss Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He surrendered a leadoff homer to Mookie Betts but rebounded by preventing the Dodgers from scoring until the fifth inning. The 33-year-old has allowed […]

Jose Urquidy Hit Hard In Saturday's Loss To Seattle

Houston Astros pitcher Jose Urquidy allowed six runs (five earned) on 12 hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. He was tagged with his second loss of the season. The 27-year-old put a season-high 14 runners on base and has now surrendered at […]

Julio Rodriguez Collects Three Hits, Swipes Bag

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a double, run, and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Houston Astros. The 24-year-old reached base on a fielder's choice and stole second base for his major-league-leading 14th steal this season. He's now swiped four bags over his last 11 games. Rodriguez is having […]

NFBC Waiver Wire Report for Week 8 - Deeper Hitter Pickups for Fantasy Baseball

We have completed another week of MLB action, making it time to make more waiver wire moves. However, things will be slightly different for our weekly look into the high-stakes NFBC landscape. For those that do not know, in the NFBC, there are no IL spots and no trades, making waiver moves a bit different. […]

Joe Musgrove Strikes Out Seven In No-Decision

San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. The 29-year-old cruised through most of the game, allowing one run in the third frame. He was in […]

Taylor Rogers Charged With The Blown Save And Loss

San Diego Padres pitcher Taylor Rogers (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out three over an inning. He was charged with his first loss and second blown save of the season. The 31-year-old entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. He […]

David Bednar Notches Ninth Save On Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher David Bednar struck out one over a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the San Diego Padres. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. The 27-year-old retired the side to earn his ninth save of the season. He is having a […]

Our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can […]

Kyle Larson Slams Wall And Begins In 36th Sunday

Sometimes Kyle Larson just has some bad luck. During Saturday's qualifying, it was as simple as the tire blowing and Larson's Chevy hitting the wall. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver will use his backup car. Larson was fastest in practice and testing at the Charlotte track. Now, the No. 5 driver led 327 of 400 […]

Brad Keselowski Figures To Rise Quickly From The Rear Sunday

Brad Keselowski may not be as fast as a Kyle Larson but he will move up the field pretty quickly on Sunday. He starts 35th because of a slight slide during qualifying on Saturday. His equipment is not the greatest but the RFK Racing driver will make the best of things. Keselowski won the first […]

Chris Buescher Can Enjoy Upward Mobility Sunday

Chris Buescher has two top-ten finishes in his previous three appearances for Roush Fenway Racing at Charlotte. The No. 17 Ford enjoyed a +19 place differential as he moved his way up the field during the middle stages of the race. Though he qualified in 19th, that again just ups the possibility of upward mobility. […]

Kevin Harvick Has Place Differential Possibility Sunday

Kevin Harvick may not win the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday but the Stewart-Haas Racing driver is 4 for 4 when it comes to top ten results. The No. 4 Ford does have an average finish of 8.8 which is third best among all active drivers. What is more interesting is that Harvick has come in […]

Austin Dillon May Surprise At His Best Track

Austin Dillon does like racing on the Charlotte track. His driver rating of 90.3 is the best out of every NASCAR track. Is some of that based on the average starting position of 5.8? Absolutely. However, the Chevy he drives is pretty fast. The last two times on the track have produced two top-tens. Plus, […]

Jared Walsh Goes Hitless In Saturday's Loss

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh struggled mightily in April, slashing .243/.303/.357. After a disastrous month, he recorded .261/.316/.591 slash line with eight home runs and 18 RBI in May. This is what fantasy managers expected from him on draft day. The young slugger has continued to carry momentum after his impressive rookie campaign […]

Chase Briscoe Not Quite As Good On Intermediate Tracks

Chase Briscoe begins Sunday's Charlotte race from the 15th position. The chances he stays there may be remote. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has limited results at the highest level. However, he never factored much into the Coca-Cola 600 last year. Briscoe wound up 23rd after starting 21st. This year could be more of the same. […]

Martin Truex Jr. Slides Back A Bit In Qualifying

Martin Truex Jr. will begin Sunday from the 14th position. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver did turn in a lap just 0.325 seconds off the pole time from Denny Hamlin. Truex Jr. always displays good late speed at this track and did win in 2019 along with leading more than 100 laps. The problem last […]

Chase Elliott In Good Position For Charlotte Race

Chase Elliott enjoys the Charlotte Motor Speedway maybe too much. The results have been incredible. Consider a second, first, and second and went 4 for 4 in top five finishes. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has an average finish of 2.3 over the last three years. Despite being so close to the front, the No. […]

Daniel Suarez Interesting To Watch On Sunday

So, Daniel Suarez qualified 12th for Sunday's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The TrackHouse Racing driver carried some good speed in the later sectors at the quad-oval. There is some late speed with the Chevy that may go unnoticed on Sunday. Does that beat the Toyota's? That is questionable. However, Suarez could potentially surprise. He […]

Ryan Blaney Again Lurks For Charlotte Race Sunday

Ryan Blaney will begin 11th for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte. The No. 12 Team Penske car did clock a 29.617 which bodes well along with some practice intervals. Again, with limited practice and runs, sometimes data can be misleading. Blaney has had some adventurous results at Charlotte recently too. He has two top-fives but […]

Luke Voit Singles, Scores A Run On Saturday

San Diego Padres first baseman Luke Voit drew two walks along with a single, but the Padres couldn't come back from a two-run deficit on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Since Voit hit two homers against Atlanta Braves on May 11, many folks hoped he would display the power he showed in New York. Unfortunately, […]

Michael McDowell May Not Be Recommended On Sunday

Michael McDowell will start from the outside of Row 5 on Sunday for the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte Motor Speedway. McDowell made it to the last round of qualifying but finished last out of the ten finalists. When factoring some other fast laps, McDowell was closer to 15th. The Front Row Motorsports driver has only […]

Alex Bowman Begins Sunday From The Ninth Position

Alex Bowman got into the final round of qualifying on Saturday but could not mount much of a run. Still, he did wind up ninth which should give him a good springboard for Sunday. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has a couple of wins on intermediate tracks the past three years and will have some […]

Ty France Collects Two Singles, Two RBI Saturday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France's hot streak has continued. He has recorded at least a hit in the last 10 games. What's more impressive is he has yet to strike out on an offspeed pitch this season. His 142 preseason ADP now looks like a complete bargain. He's up to a .342/.412/.508 slash line […]

Johnny Cueto Allows Five Runs In Loss

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Johnny Cueto got touched up for five earned runs on Saturday as his club fell to the Cubs 5-1. Cueto struggled out of the gate by allowing three runs through the first two innings, and then he ran out of gas in the seventh frame when he allowed a couple […]

Taijuan Walker Victorious Saturday Night

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker earned the win on Saturday as his club defeated the Phillies 8-2. Walker struck out one over five innings of work, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks in his 88-pitch effort. J.T. Realmuto provided the damage against the right-hander with a two-run single in the […]

Daniel Hudson Records Save Versus Diamondbacks

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Daniel Hudson picked up the save against the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, closing out the 3-2 win. The right-hander got the ninth-inning nod since Craig Kimbrel threw 26 pitches the night before, and he was effective despite serving up a leadoff double to Ketel Marte. Hudson went on to generate a […]
