Austin Dillon Consistency Should Net Decent Result at Atlanta

Austin Dillon has not finished worse than 21st since the Daytona road course way back in February. His consistency has included seven top-15 results in Dillon's last eight races. Those results by themselves are not great but again the Richard Childress Racing driver typically stays out of trouble and gains points (12th overall). He has […]

Matt DiBenedetto Expected Not to Stay Near Top Ten at Atlanta

Matt DiBenedetto starts 12th on Sunday for the Quaker State 400. How long he stays around that position is the problem. DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers Racing team have had issues keeping the car near the front on intermediate tracks. He was in the top five for a while the last time in Atlanta but […]

Chase Briscoe Expected to Fall Back Some at Atlanta

Chase Briscoe gets a nice 11th starting position on Sunday but the Stewart-Haas Racing driver may have trouble maintaining that position. Briscoe has not performed well on high-wear tire tracks like Atlanta. He dropped into the 30's for a bit before finishing 23rd earlier this year. His starting position then was 24th but the concern […]

Joey Logano Could Hang Around Again at Atlanta

Joey Logano has a habit of just lurking around and then springing up out of almost nowhere. He has finished tenth or worse in three of his last four races but did contend for most of the Saturday Pocono race (ended up 7th leading 18 laps). The Team Penske driver has not finished worse than […]

Ross Chastain Could Surprise on Sunday at Atlanta

Ross Chastain carries some risk as performance metrics put him in the ninth position for the second Atlanta race. This was buoyed by his 14th at Atlanta (started 21st) and probably a second in Nashville and seventh last week at Wisconsin. Chastain can drive on road courses no question (three top-tens in the previous three […]

Kurt Busch Expected to Keep Momentum Rolling at Atlanta

Can Kurt Busch keep the car on the track in Atlanta? That is the question. Busch has saved his best for this latest stretch with four top-ten finishes in his last five races. That includes a fourth last week at Wisconsin, a sixth on the Saturday Pocono race, and an eighth in Nashville. Part of […]

Tyler Reddick Not As Sneaky At Atlanta But Could be Good

Tyler Reddick starts from the seventh spot on Sunday for the Quaker State 400 in Atlanta. The Richard Childress Racing driver is trending in the right direction with seven top-10 results in his last 11 races. Furthermore, he was able to maintain track position even on a road course Sunday with an eighth after starting […]

Martin Truex Jr Another Dilemma Come Sunday at Atlanta

Martin Truex Jr. has had an uneven season with three wins and some dominating performances (see Darlington with 248 laps led). Since then, a myriad of issues including some poor driving has led Truex to just one top-five in his last seven races. That includes a ninth in Wisconsin and an 11th for the Sunday […]

Christopher Bell Has Question Marks Heading into Atlanta

So, which Christopher Bell shows up on Sunday? The one that finished second in last week at Wisconsin where he challenged Chase Elliott or the driver that never gets going like at Pocono? It's a great question with an unclear answer. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver did finish ninth in Nashville although some argue that […]

Denny Hamlin Should Contend in Atlanta Again

The burning question for Denny Hamlin is when does he win a race already? He still leads the points race by a scant few over Kyle Larson. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has 11 top-five finishes without a win. Hamlin has an average finish of 6.0 in his last four races at Atlanta including three […]

Kyle Busch Headlines Joe Gibbs Racing Resurgence Heading Into Atlanta

Kyle Busch comes into Atlanta on a hot run. Busch finds himself fourth in the points race with two wins under his belt. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has five top-five finishes in his last six races. If not for a grip issue in Nashville, it might have been six. Since Kansas, the No. 18 […]

Chase Elliott Gains Pole For Quaker State 400

Chase Elliott, through performance metrics, is on the pole for Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver righted things with a road win last Sunday in Wisconsin where he led 24 laps. After the mess in Pocono (finished outside the top-ten both times) and the Nashville disqualification for lugnuts, Elliott needed […]

Kyle Larson Favorite Yet Again at Atlanta

Kyle Larson may be a favorite for weeks and weeks to come. The only concern is what calamity befalls him. Will it be a collision with a teammate, a blown tire, or something else. This is the second trip to Atlanta. The first trip saw Larson dominate most of the race, lead 269 laps, and […]

Anthony Bender Gives Up Two Runs On Friday

Miami Marlins rookie relief pitcher Anthony Bender struggled a bit in Friday's loss to the Atlanta Braves. Bender pitched the seventh inning with the team trailing 1-0 and gave up two runs on two hits.

Red Sox Activate Kevin Plawecki

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 30-year-old has been out because of a left hamstring strain. However, it's unlikely many fantasy managers were eagerly awaiting his return. Plawecki is batting .254 this season but has split time with Christian Vazquez, resulting in decreased production […]

Vidal Brujan Recalled From Durham

Tampa Bays Rays second baseman Vidal Brujan was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday. With Mike Brosseau (oblique) landing on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 8, Brujan will get another shot in the big club. The 23-year-old speedster has gone 1-for-6 throughout two games in the majors this year while also compiling one […]

George Springer Drives In Lone Run Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer drove in the only run for his club on Friday as his team fell 7-1 at the hands of the Rays. Springer's single to center in the third cashed in Bo Bichette for the first run of the ball game as he finished the game going 1-for-3 with a […]

Alek Manoah Unable To Make It Through Four Versus Rays

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah struck out nine Rays in Friday's 7-1 loss, but he was unable to make it through four innings in the 88-pitch effort. The 23-year-old rookie was a bit in wild in this one, throwing just 48 pitches for strikes while walking three and beaning a pair of batters […]

Gavin Sheets Hits Third Home Run

Chicago White Sox infielder Gavin Sheets continues to impress in his rookie season. Sheets was promoted and made his big league debut on June 29. Sheets went 1-for-3 with two runs, two walks and a solo home run. Sheets has been getting plenty of playing time since his promotion and is now hitting .273 with […]

Dallas Keuchel Picks Up Seventh Win

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel ended his first half on a high note with a victory versus the Baltimore Orioles. The lefty hurler went seven frames and allowed seven hits, one run, one walk and struck out three on the evening. Keuchel bounced back after giving up seven runs in his previous start […]

Danny Santana Lands On Injured List

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Danny Santana (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday night. The 30-year-old switch-hitter was injured during Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, suffering a strained left quad in the seventh inning before getting the plug pulled. Santana hasn't done much for fantasy managers this season, currently batting […]

James Karinchak Earns Win Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak threw a scoreless ninth inning while allowing one hit and striking out two in Friday night's 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. One night after blowing the save and earning the win, Karinchak earned the win the right way in this one as Bobby Bradley walked off the […]

Bobby Bradley Hits Walk-Off Home Run Friday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Bobby Bradley went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off solo home run in Friday night's 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. Bradley lead off the bottom of the ninth with a solo blast off of Royals' reliever Jake Brentz to give the Tribe a 2-1 win. Bradley now has […]
