Edwin Diaz Blows Third Straight Save Opportunity

Michael Conforto Blasts Two Home Runs Monday

After a season-long slumber, New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is finally breaking out.

Corbin Burnes Looking Dominant In July

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes had his best start of the year by most measures on Sunday.

Through 21.1 innings this month, Burnes has allowed […]

Josh Hader Struggling With A 7.71 ERA In July

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader had been absolutely fantastic this year before the calendar turned to July. He entered this month with a minuscule season-long ERA of 0.55. However, thanks to a 7.71 ERA over 4.2 innings this month, Hader now has a season-long ERA of 1.45. Hader has allowed at least one earned run […]

Isaac Paredes Removed With Hip Soreness On Monday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Isaac Paredes (hip) was removed from Monday's win over the Texas Rangers due to hip soreness. According to Evan Woodbery of MLive, the injury isn't considered to be anything serious. Paredes should be considered day-to-day. He will likely sit out Tuesday's game.

Tonight we have 13 games on a night slate, with two-afternoon games as well. While there are times it can be tempting to place a lot of bets, I try to limit my action to no more than four to five wagers in a day, sometimes more like two or three. If you have read […]

Pat Perez Risky at 3M Open This Week

Pat Perez has been a bit up and down lately. There was the Rocket Mortgage finish where Perez stayed in the top 15 even with a 70 during the final round. However, the John Deere Classic showed that the golfer just could not make enough putts. He missed the cut as a result. The American […]

Adam Schenk Could Be Unexpected Good Option at 3M

Adam Schenk ranks 45th on the tour in birdies at 3.92 per round. With the ability to drive balls around 300 yards a hole, that may be enough to get around the TPC Twin Cities golf course. Schenk can get on greens well on easy-to-drive courses. The last two weeks have seen the American golfer […]

Jhonattan Vegas Could Have More DFS Upside at 3M

Jhonattan Vegas is a top-50 golfer when it comes to making birdies and ranks 12th in driving length at 310 yards. Other than maybe the 70 at the John Deere during the final round, Vegas has shown the ability to drive the ball well and make enough putts to contend at these longer yardage tournaments. […]

Brandt Snedeker Thriving at 3M Open Likely

One of the few golfers that can do well at longer yardage tournaments is Brandt Snedeker. Snedeker has an average drive of just 286 yards. However, he is one of the few golfers who can drop birdies and eagles among the best in the field this week at the 3M Open. Past results at the […]

Gary Woodland Trying to Bounce Back at 3M

Gary Woodland won the US Open in 2019 but has not found that same form since the pandemic. There have been a few top ten results at the Valero, Charles Schwab, and Wells Fargo. However, the American golfer has not been able to make enough putts. That has resulted in him missing the cut in […]

Lucas Herbert a Dicey Option at 3M Open

Lucas Herbert can drive a ball around 310 yards but can that putter be trusted? Over the last year, the Australian golfer has not topped -10 at any tournament. Yes, there are always outliers but Herbert just has not shown the ability to sink this many putts. Again, something close to -20 is going to […]

Robert MacIntyre May Not Be Able to Hang Around at 3M

Robert MacIntyre definitely could have some issues with the long course at TPC Twin Cities. However, he might fare well too. The problem is MacIntyre has finished well last week. At The Open Championship, he fired a 65-67 over the weekend. The problem is can he drop enough birdies? It's a great question given his […]

Cameron Davis One to Watch at 3M

Cameron Davis hit the ball with purpose a few weeks ago and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic at -18. Let that sink in. Again, it will take about that kind of performance to win at the TPC Twin Cities. This is a par-71, 7400+ yard course. Also, there are plenty of holes where eagles and […]

Sergio Garcia 's Putter Could Again be Issue at 3M

Sergio Garcia should typically be expected to thrive in a tournament where distance is an advantage along with tee-to-green play. Garcia ranks 18th with 1.14 strokes gained. The Spanish golfer has excelled in the final rounds of the last two majors shooting 68 and 66 to sneak into the top 20. There will be no […]

Louis Oosthuizen Expects to Contend at 3M Tournament

It was a bit of a surprise that Louis Oosthuizen was going to compete at the 3M right after the British Open. The South African golfer shot -11 through two rounds and led most of the championship before Collin Morikawa surged past him on Sunday. Yes, it was another final day where things did not […]
