Kurt Busch Intriguing Option at Indianapolis

Kurt Busch becomes at least a possibility this weekend because of his past success on certain road courses. He excelled at Daytona finishing fourth in February. That was after a 17th place start. This place differential trend continued at Road America (+12) and even last week at Watkins Glen (+4). The No. 1 car has […]

Huascar Ynoa Likely To Start On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) is expected to take the mound on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. It's worth noting that the organization has not officially said anything about it. However, lefty Kyle Muller was optioned to the minors recently and that leaves an open spot in the rotation. Ynoa was average during […]

Tyler Reddick Will be a Factor at Verizon 200

Tyler Reddick, so far, is keeping his tenuous position in The Chase. He had another top-ten result at Watkins Glen last Sunday. The Richard Childress Racing driver has strung together four top-tens in his last five races overall. That includes three straight-on-road courses (9th, 8th, and 10th). While laps led are not likely, the No. […]

Travis d'Arnaud Blasts Homer On Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud has been limited to less than 30 games this season due to injury. However, he notched his third home run of the season during his second game back off the injured list on Friday. He went 2-for-4 with that solo homer in the fifth inning to help the Braves get […]

Charlie Morton Snags 11th Win On The Season

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton continued his impressive 2021 campaign versus the Washington Nationals on Friday. He went six innings, six hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 4-2 win. This victory moves Morton's W/L record to 11-4, which ties him for fifth in the MLB in wins. Morton […]

Dominic Smith Comes Off Bench And Drives In Run

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith, hitting .340 against lefties this season and 1-for-1 with a home run lifetime against Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urias, did not start the game on Friday. Despite the questionable decision to bench Smith in a huge game, he entered the game in the fifth inning and eventually went […]

Robbie Ray Strikes Out Eight In No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray had another quality outing on Friday, tossing seven innings of two-run ball in his club's 3-2 loss to the Mariners. The left-hander settled for a no-decision in this one despite striking out eight batters and allowing five hits and a walk in his 90-pitch outing. His only big […]

Jeff McNeil Drives In Two On Friday

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil went 1-for-3 with two RBI in the Mets 6-5 loss to the Dodgers on Friday. For whatever reason, McNeil and Dominic Smith, two of the Mets most productive hitters, were held out of the starting lineup on Friday with Dodgers lefty Julio Urias on the mound. Eventually, both […]

William Byron Will Not Contend, Might Lurk at Indianapolis

William Byron ironically had his best road result of the week last week at Watkins Glen with a sixth-place result. He started 15th and lingered around the top-five at the very end. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver is a true question mark heading into this week's Verizon 200. This is because Byron's road results have […]

Brad Keselowski Not Recommended for Indianapolis

Brad Keselowski seems to be set on just helping certain drivers in the final weeks leading to the NASCAR playoff. What is interesting is the fact that the Team Penske driver did finish fifth at the Daytona road race in February. After that though, every other road course has seen finishes outside the top ten. […]

Mike Minor Notches Quality Start In Friday's Loss

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Mike Minor delivered a solid start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. He pitched six innings and allowed six hits, one walk and three earned runs while striking out seven. Unfortunately, the Royals were shut out 6-0 in the game, so Minor was tagged with the loss, dropping his […]

Eric Haase Breaks Slump With His 19th Home Run

Detroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. The home run was his 19th of the year and it was a much-needed bomb for him as he'd been struggling at the plate lately. He'd gone 0-for-13 over his previous four games before this one […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 8/14 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

After going 6-for-7 last weekend, we started this one going 4-for-5 with a return of 3.59 units on 5.5 units of (165% return). Since last Friday, we've had a 174% return on investment (ROI). The Braves covered the runline in a low-scoring, rain-delayed game which hit us both picks. The Tigers and Indians hit the […]

Renato Nunez Homers In His Second Straight Game

Detroit Tigers first baseman Renato Nunez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the team's 7-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Tigers selected his contract on Wednesday and he has made two starts since rejoining the team, homering in both games. Nunez got his first opportunity with the Tigers back in […]

Luis Severino Scratched From Rehab Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder, groin) was scratched from his scheduled rehab start Friday. Severino was warming up before what was likely his final rehab outing for Triple-A Scranton, though he "didn't feel right" and ultimately didn't pitch. Severino will return to New York to be evaluated, which will delay his return […]

James Karinchak Struggles Again Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak allowed two earned runs on one walk and one hit while striking out none in a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday. Karinchak got into trouble again in this one when he walked Jeimer Candelario to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning and then allowed […]

Miguel Sano Drives In Two Friday

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano drove in a pair of runs in a losing effort to the Rays Friday. Sano collected a pair of RBI singles, driving in a run for the fourth time in his last five games. The slugger was stuck in a slump to start August but has picked things up […]

Zach Plesac Strikes Out Nine Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac allowed two earned runs while striking out nine across 7 2/3 innings pitched in a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers Friday night. Plesac earned the win in this one to move to 7-4 on the season and it was nice to see him rebound after allowing four earned […]

Brent Rooker Tallies Career-High Four Hits

Minnesota Twins outfielder Brent Rooker went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Rays. Rooker's four hits were a career-high, as he became the fifth Twins player in the Statcast era with three-plus base hits at 105 MPH or harder in a game. It was a […]

Michael Pineda Expected To Hit The Injured List With Oblique Injury

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (oblique) is expected to require a stint on the injured list, per Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. Pineda was forced to exit Friday's start after just 2 2/3 innings with left side tightness- though manager Rocco Baldelli provided an update after the contest, saying the right-hander is dealing with […]

Ryan Blaney Possibly Worth a Look at Indianapolis

The Team Penske driver could have some place-differential possibilities this weekend at Indianapolis. Again, this hinges on where he qualifies for Sunday's race at the Brickyard. The Verizon 200 is just 82-laps long but also is a course that Blaney may be a bit familiar with. It is a hybrid ROVAL course that Blaney has […]

Kevin Kiermaier Hits Inside The Park Homer

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier went 2-for-5 with an inside the park home run and three RBI during Friday's 10-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. He flashed his elite speed (29.5 sprint speed) by hitting an inside the park home run after crushing a ball off the right-field wall at Target Field. The Rays […]

Joey Logano Risky Choice for the Indianapolis Race

Joey Logano has truly had some mixed results racing on the road courses this year and last. In 2021 alone, he nearly won at Daytona before Christopher Bell bested him. Logano netted a third-place result at Austin in the rain. The Team Penske driver even managed a fourth at Sonoma. However, there was that 15th […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (8/14/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a tidy nine-gamer over on the blue site tonight and it's a doozy as exactly half of the slate is currently sporting implied totals of over five runs. There are just a ton of options on offense tonight, and there are a few very intriguing (potentially lower-rostered) pitching options that I'll be highlighting […]

A.J. Allmendinger One To Reckon with at Indianapolis on Sunday

A.J. Allmendinger hops into the No. 16 HyperIce car with some elevated expectations once again. Metrics hurt him in the Daytona road race as he began 34th but led two laps before finishing seventh. Allmendinger finished fifth in the rain-soaked race at Austin but had some bad luck last week at Watkins Glen. The hybrid […]

Kevin Harvick Fortunes Could Rest Again on Track Position

Kevin Harvick has an underperforming car. That much is known. What the No. 4 has done with it all season has been impressive. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has 16 top-ten finishes on the year but no wins. Likely, Harvick will not win on Sunday but he could lurk around the top five. There is a […]
