Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Eli Morgan will take the mound Friday night in Oakland to kick off the Indians' second half of the season.

Are Rookie Running Backs Undervalued?

The fantasy football community has a short memory. In general, fantasy players overvalue what happened last year. Many articles review and analyze the relatively tiny 16-game sample that is last season and attempt to use their findings to help them project the upcoming year. Do I think we should be going back even further in […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Green Bay Packers Coaching Staff Preview

Twins Looking To Lock Up Byron Buxton

The Minnesota Twins have offered outfielder Byron Buxton a long-term contract in excess of $70 million. The 27-year-old is expected to decline the offer, as his upside alone should garner a more lucrative contract.

Closers and Saves Report - Waiver Wire and Trade Deadline Chatter

We here at RotoBaller's Closers and Saves Report believe that there should be something like the Home Run Derby, but for relief pitchers.

Using K-BB% To Find Relievers to Add for the Second Half

A couple of weeks ago, I used June's K-BB% leaderboard to look at which starting pitchers might provide value in the second half. In that article, I explained why I loved the metric so much by stating: If a pitcher has a high strikeout rate (K%), then we know he is effective because we know […]

FanDuel MMA, UFC Vegas 31 DFS Lineup Picks - Makhachev vs. Moises

UFC 264 had plenty of excitement, although the main event between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor didn't live up to the hype. After McGregor broke his leg and could not continue, it is safe to assume that a fourth encounter between these two could occur somewhere down the line, primarily since bad blood remains. However, […]

San Diego Padres left-hander Ryan Weathers (ankle), who fractured a small accessory piece of bone in the back of his ankle, has been walking around fine, and a return before the end of the month hasn't been ruled out.

Mets Have Interest In Kris Bryant

The New York Mets are among multiple teams with interest in Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (shoulder) will come off the injured list to start on Friday against the Chicago Cubs to begin the second half of the season.
