Justin Haley A Wildcard Of Sorts At Bristol

Justin Haley raced well during his heat on Saturday which adds some intrigue. His Chevy was fast and good around the corners. There was not much tight on the Kaulig Racing car and that was encouraging. The No. 31 won his heat but his place differential was not as good as the others. Therefore, he […]

Kyle Larson Set Up For Success At Bristol

The same thing was said last year about Kyle Larson. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver was primed for a great run on the dirt. That is when disaster err Christopher Bell struck. On the other hand, Larson begins the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday from the fifth position. Larson is one of those veteran […]

Chase Briscoe Enjoys Good Qualifying Round At Bristol

Chase Briscoe will start the Food City Dirt Race from the fourth position on Sunday night. Briscoe and his Stewart-Haas Racing Ford have been fast from the start here. His early time in the first practice session was only eclipsed by Tyler Reddick. Reddick is believed to have the fastest car going into Sunday. The […]

Tyler Reddick Begins Third On Sunday At Bristol

There is little debate that Tyler Reddick had the fastest car on Saturday night. The first nine laps of his qualifying heat saw Reddick eventually get past Ross Chastain and then pull out to a nearly two-second lead. The caution came out after a spin. That did not matter. Reddick and his Chevy were able […]

Christopher Bell Starts Second On Sunday At Bristol

Christopher Bell has to be considered one of the favorites on the Bristol short-track Sunday. He was able to qualify second on Saturday and has the ability to run up front on the dirt. The track had a decent balance of wet and dry but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver excels in these conditions. It […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 2

Maybe this is the week we see pitchers stretch beyond four or five innings per outing. With a condensed spring training and late start to the season, starting pitchers have been handled with kid gloves so far. We'll also get a better sense of the upcoming schedule for starting pitchers since some rookies and fifth […]

Free MLB Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/17/22)

Happy Easter Sunday, RotoBallers! We had ourselves a decent day yesterday, again finishing 1-1. A bit frustrating to finish with these 1-1 days with plays in the article, but I ended up finishing 4-1, as I added the Giants' and Rockies' money lines, as well as tossing the Dodgers in a parlay with UFC fighter […]

Cole Custer Nabs Pole Position At Bristol

The Next-Gen car revealed a few interesting trends but one was how Cole Custer negotiated the field in his qualifying heat. On a short-track, Custer was aided by the conditions and a well-timed caution after nine laps. He benefitted the most due to place differential and as a result, took the pole for Sunday's Food […]

Justin Verlander Shuts Down Mariners In Victory

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander was dominant on Saturday night, tossing eight-shutout innings in the club's 4-0 win over the Mariners. The veteran didn't walk a batter and allowed just three hits which were all singles as he struck out eight in the 87-pitch performance. Verlander was sitting in the 94-95 MPH range with […]

Hector Neris Protects 4-0 Win Saturday

Houston Astros reliever Hector Neris recorded the final three outs during the club's 4-0 win over the Mariners Saturday night. It was a non-save situation for the right-hander, but it might be a telling sign that manager Dusty Baker went to him in a relatively close game versus a division rival after Ryan Pressly landed […]

Clay Holmes Gets Four-Out Save Saturday

New York Yankees reliever Clay Holmes picked up the final four outs for his club on Saturday, sealing a 5-2 win over the Orioles. It was the right-hander's first save of his career as he entered the game with two runners on in the eighth before getting a groundout, and then going back out there […]

Randal Grichuk Dealing With Back Issue

Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk has missed the last three games due to a back issue that he felt Thursday morning. He felt both sides of his lower back lock, but rotating now feels "ok" as he's been swinging in a cage and took batting practice prior to Saturday's contest versus the Cubs. The injury […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Dealing With Forearm Tightness

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu is experiencing soreness in his left forearm after Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics. The veteran left-hander surrendered five runs in four innings with just one strikeout in the afternoon affair from Toronto after giving up six runs in 3 1/3 in his season debut last week versus […]

David Fletcher Without A Timetable For Return

Los Angeles Angels shortstop David Fletcher (hip) has no timetable for a return yet according to head athletic trainer Mike Frostad. The 27-year-old has remained in Anaheim during the team's current road trip to treat his ailing hip after he left Monday's contest with tightness in the seventh inning. Fletcher first experienced the discomfort near […]

Jake McGee Closes Out Win Over Guardians

San Francisco Giants reliever Jake McGee picked up his first save of the season on Saturday, closing the door on a 4-2 win over the Guardians. The left-hander worked around a single and a walk to start the frame before getting a strikeout and a pair of groundouts to cap the win for his club. […]

Luguentz Dort Expected To Be Fully Healthy In A Few Months

Oklahoma City guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) expects to be fully healthy within three months. The 22-year-old was lost for the remainder of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery back in March. It was a tough blow for OKC, primarily since Dort was averaging 17.2 points before succumbing to the injury. Nonetheless, it's unknown what the […]

Stephen Curry Plays Well Off The Bench On Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) played in his first game since mid-March on Saturday night during the postseason win over the Denver Nuggets. The 35-year-old came in off the bench and made the most of it, finishing with 16 points throughout 22 minutes. Curry's role for Game 2 will likely remain a mystery […]

Jordan Nwora Likely Available For Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jordan Nwora (back) is expected to be available for Game 1 of the playoff meeting versus Chicago. The 23-year-old is currently listed on the latest injury report because of back soreness. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis handling things at the four, Nwora's availability won't mean much.

John Collins May Return On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) is questionable heading into the first-round opener against the Miami Heat. The 24-year-old hasn't played in over a month, although the team could certainly use him out there after Clint Capela (knee) sustained a hyperextended right knee on Friday night versus Cleveland. Nonetheless, if Collins can't make it […]

Clint Capela To Be Reevaluated In A Week

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) underwent an MRI on Saturday. The results were encouraging, revealing no structural damage to his right knee, which he injured on Friday night during the play-in win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yet, DFS managers shouldn't expect him to be in the lineup throughout the first-round postseason meeting against the […]

Scottie Barnes Sprains Ankle On Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a sprained left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie was injured in the fourth quarter, an unfortunate blow considering he appeared to be well on his way to a triple-double. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative, but he will have imaging done on Sunday to […]
