Sam Ryder Just Trying To Make Weekend At Colonial

It has been a mighty struggle for Sam Ryder of late. He did not play in the PGA Championship last week after missing three straight cuts. That is the problem. Ryder has seen the weekend in just eight of 21 tournaments in 2021. He did have two top-ten finishes in March which was headlined by […]

Harris English Nice DFS Play At Colonial

It was a nasty week for Harris English at the PGA but he did make the weekend at least. He finished 13th at the Byron Nelson a couple of weeks ago and that may be more indicative of his current form. His driving accuracy and putting both rank in the top-55 on the tour. The […]

Tarik Skubal Strikes Out Nine On Tuesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal matched a season-high with nine strikeouts against the Cleveland Indians on Monday.

Rafael Devers Could Keep Getting Even Better

On the surface, it appears that Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is having a pretty good season. He’s slashing an impressive .278/.351/.592 and is in the top 10 in the majors in both home runs (13) and RBI (39). He’s even doubled his walk rate from 5.2% to a career-high 9.9%. The batted […]

Stewart Cink Expects To Have DFS Upside At Colonial

Stewart Cink did surprisingly well given the windy conditions at the PGA last week. He was able to weather Friday and Saturday then finish with a 69 on Sunday. That should bode well heading into this week's Charles Schwab. Cink has finished in the top-40 five consecutive times now. That includes a 12th at The […]

Christian Arroyo Activated From Injured List On Tuesday

The Boston Red Sox activated utility man Christian Arroyo (hand) from the injured list on Tuesday. Michael Chavis was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Cameron Davis Not Expected To Be Factor At Colonial BUT...

Cameron Davis can hit a golf ball into the stratosphere. Most weeks he is top-ten in driving distance (310.1 yards -- 13th overall). However, his accuracy ranks 190th at just 53.1%. His iron play is one of the best on tour though as his greens-in-regulation comes in at a stellar 64.9% (4th on tour). The […]

Harrison Bader Lands On Injured List With Fractured Rib

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) on the injured list due to a hairline fracture on one of his ribs.

Tampa Bay Rays prospect Josh Lowe had a strong performance on Tuesday with three hits, including a home run. The 23-year-old outfielder also drove in five runs in the game. The outburst pushed his batting average up to .317 for the season. It's taken some time for Lowe to tap into his raw power but […]

Si Woo Kim's Uneven Form May Mean Less Potential At Colonial

Si Woo Kim just could not make the cut last week at the PGA as holes 14-18 were rough on his ability to drive the ball consistently. Kim is accomplished around the greens ranking 24th in strokes gained at 0.32. However, the rest of his metrics are mostly just okay. It is partly why lately, […]

Chris Kirk Trying To Find His Form At Colonial

May was just not kind to Chris Kirk as he played at the Valspar and then the PGA Championship. He missed the cut both times and it was not all that close either (missed by three strokes at the PGA). This week at the Charles Schwab might be good for Kirk as the course is […]

Roman Quinn Activated From The Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies activated outfielder Roman Quinn (finger) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Quinn swapped places with Bryce Harper (forearm), who was placed on the injured list with a left forearm contusion. Quinn missed about three weeks due to a lacerated right index finger.

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 5/26/21 (Premium Content)

Hey RotoBallers! I felt like Week 8 was my time to get back on track. The number 8 is my go-to/lucky number after all. Well, it didn't quite turn out that way. Wednesday was a great day, but everything that surrounded it, including a bloody Sunday, brought us crashing back down to earth. I'm changing […]

Reid Detmers Strikes Out 10 At Double-A, Value Rising

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect Reid Detmers had his best professional start on Tuesday when he struck out 10 batters over six innings of work. The right-hander was nearly untouchable and he allowed just one hit and two walks during the game. Detmers' previous high for strikeouts was set on May 11 with nine over […]

C.T. Pan Could Be A Bit Rusty At Colonial

C.T. Pan did not play in the PGA last week and has not played since the Wells Fargo Championship three weeks ago. He did finish 18th there after missing the cut in three straight tournaments including The Masters (7th in 2020). The concern is can Pan put his game together again. The golfer is average […]

James Karinchak Records Sixth Save Tuesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak recorded his sixth save of 2021 in Tuesday night's 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers by allowing no earned runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two. Karinchak was brought into the ninth with men on first and second and nobody out and allowed an inherited […]

Branden Grace Has A Little Value At Colonial

Branden Grace does not do anything very well on the tour. His numbers balance out to around average and yet he was in contention on Sunday at the PGA before a final-round 78. So, there is potential but something seems to short circuit in tournaments not named the Puerto Rico Open (his only 2021 win). […]

Aaron Civale Has Strong Outing Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Aaron Civale went eight innings allowing one earned run on six hits and a walk while striking out six in Tuesday night's 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.
