Julio Rodriguez Hits First Double-A Homer

Seattle Mariners prospect Julio Rodriguez doesn't seem to be fazed by the promotion from High-A to Double-A. The 20-year-old outfielder hit his first Double-A home run on Friday during the initial game of a doubleheader that saw him go 1-for-2 with two walks and three runs driven in. He then followed that up with a […]

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 7/3/21 (Premium Content)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! This officially starts Week 14, and MAN was Week 13 exactly what we needed. If my math is correct, that was a 26-13-3 week that resulted in a positive 9.05 units. Within that we had a Wednesday-Saturday stretch where we were up 11.65 units in that 4-day hot streak. Still plenty of […]

Heath Hembree Picks Up Second Save

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Heath Hembree threw a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Hembree struck out two and allowed one hit to pick up his second save of the season. The veteran reliever is trending up after a rough start to the season, having allowed three earned […]

Tyler Reddick Okay Option at Road America

Tyler Reddick was right around the top ten all last weekend at Pocono. (11th and 9th). He did better at Austin but was still 19th at Sonoma despite some car issues. The Richard Childress Racing driver has had a solid season and is 13th in the points race. He has not finished worse than 20th […]

Erik Jones a Solid Choice at Road America

Erik Jones has some positive results on road courses this year despite starting poorly. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver has a place differential of +23 at Daytona, +13 at Austin, and +7 at Sonoma. That indicates two things. He can improve track position even on not the most ideal road courses. Second, he likely does […]

Brad Keselowski A Decent Choice At Road America

It will depend a lot on where Brad Keselowski starts on Sunday at Road America but the Team Penske driver could surprise a bit. He did finish fifth on the Daytona road course and he was running near the top ten at times in Austin and even at Sonoma. His finishes were not close though. […]

Daniel Suarez a Question Mark at Road America on Sunday

Daniel Suarez has finished in the top 15 five straight races now. The only question is where does he qualify on Sunday. Either way, there is some DFS value for the Trackhouse Racing driver. Suarez is even getting back into contention for "The Chase". He would likely need a big result, preferably a win. The […]

Kurt Busch Still Going For it at Road America

Kurt Busch did not have as good of a Sunday at Pocono but he does have three top ten results in his last four races overall (6th, 8th, and 6th). That does include a sixth at Sonoma where he ran into the top five often. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has looked much better and […]

Aric Almirola Has Marginal Potential At Road America

Aric Almirola has had his share of awful luck this 2021 season. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver even led a lap a couple of weeks ago at Nashville on his way to a fourth-place finish. Almirola then followed that up with respectable 16th place results over the previous weekend at Pocono. It was not great but […]

Christopher Bell Not Expected to be Factor at Road America

Some will get hooked because of his Daytona road win but he finished outside the top 20 at Austin and Sonoma. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver should have a good car in theory but he may slip some spots because of a decent qualifying effort. That is the expectation anyway. The No. 20 has one […]

Bubba Wallace an Intriguing Option at Road America

Bubba Wallace is definitely on an upswing over the last month and a half or so. The 23XI Racing driver has four top-15 results in his last five races. That includes a 14th at Sonoma and a fifth on Sunday at Pocono. In that race, Wallace even led three laps and was contending until the […]

A.J. Allmendinger One To Watch At Road America on Sunday

A.J. Allmendinger expects to qualify somewhere in the teens or lower 20's on Sunday. He finished fifth at Austin and seventh on the Daytona road course. The No. 16 car should be a good one to look at on Sunday especially with Allmendinger behind the wheel. He can drive a race car like Boris Said. […]

Michael McDowell Carries Upside DFS Wise at Road America

If one tosses out the Sonoma result, Michael McDowell has two top ten results on road courses this year. His 7th at Austin was more impressive considering he started 23rd and the fact that the race was cut short. The No. 34 has a bit of a reputation of driving a bit recklessly, especially on […]

Ryan Blaney Tries to Build Off Pocono at Road America

Ryan Blaney has had just okay results on road tracks this year including a 17th most recently at Sonoma. However, he comes off a 5th and 6th at Pocono last weekend. The Team Penske driver enjoys success typically on road courses. His average finish the past three years is a solid 12.8. This is a […]

Alex Bowman Expected to be Around Top Ten at Road America

Alex Bowman has two wins in his previous seven races. That includes six top-ten finishes. Two of those six were at Austin (8th) and Sonoma (9th). Bowman won the Saturday race at Pocono. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has shown more consistency over the past couple of months. Bowman even has managed an average finish […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (7/3/21): NBA DFS Lineups

The only game tonight is Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Hawks and Bucks. The Hawks were again without Trae Young, but this time the Bucks buried them and have a chance to close out the series in Atlanta. There is no structural damage to the knee of Giannis Antetokounmpo, but he […]

Joey Logano One to Watch at Road America on Sunday

Joey Logano has a knack for just performing well on road courses. In 2021, he has three top-five finishes (2nd at Daytona road, 3rd at Austin, and 4th at Sonoma). It is why he will be one to watch on Sunday. Again, at least see where he qualifies but the Team Penske driver could have […]

Kevin Harvick on Upswing Heading to Road America

Kevin Harvick is getting better results of late with four top-ten finishes in his last five races. That includes an eighth and fourth last weekend at Pocono. The only concern is that the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not led a lap since Darlington. Normally, he is an excellent road option for DFS purposes but Sunday […]

William Byron a Little Riskier Than Usual at Road America

William Byron could easily finish in the top ten on Sunday. However, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has had some odd luck at road courses the past two times out. He was near the front when he crashed at Sonoma. Then there was the 11th at Austin where his pit window and the rain did […]

Martin Truex Jr May Break Out Of Funk at Road America

Martin Truex Jr. led 19 laps on Sunday at Pocono and though he finished 11th, there was hope for the No. 19 for the first time since Sonoma. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had not led a lap since Austin. Truex Jr had almost finished 18th or worse in five of the previous six races. […]

Denny Hamlin Still Seeking First Win of 2021 Yet Leads Point Race

Denny Hamlin has not won a race yet this season. Last Sunday, he was right there and then ran out of gas just before the checkered flag at Pocono. He dropped to 14th as a result but barely maintained his points race lead over Kyle Larson. The Joe Gibbs Racing cars have looked better on […]

Chase Elliott Favored to Win at Road America

Chase Elliott was carrying around +225 odds to win at Road America on Sunday. That is probably because he has six road wins in the last three seasons. Also, Elliott finished first at Austin and second at Sonoma. It really is almost automatic that he has to be considered. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car has […]

Kyle Larson Could Win at Road America on Sunday

Kyle Larson had the winning formula last week at Pocono but blew a tire on the last lap. He finished ninth then second in the two races there. A few more laps might have given him the win on Sunday. That being said, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver is among the favorites at Road America. […]

Victor Robles Hitless From The Plate Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles went 0-for-4 and struck out Friday versus the Dodgers. The outfielder has just one hit in his last five games played. He has two RBI in his last ten contests. Robles might be a player that could be let go by fantasy managers who have him rostered. His lack of […]
