Didi Gregorius Nearing Return To Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk during Thursday's minor league game in Triple-A.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 12-3 loss to the Houston Astros.

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 6/25 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

After two profitable weekends and four straight days of hitting of winning picks, last Saturday saw us go 0-for-3. We came up one run short in the Twins versus Rangers game, Lance Lynn had his worst outing of the season and Alex Wood got knocked out of the game early so came up short in […]

Chase Elliott Place Differential Too Obvious at Pocono

Chase Elliott got disqualified for five loose lug nuts last week but that does not dispute the fact that his car has been consistent. He had a six-week run where the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver finished no worse than seventh. Elliott even won at Austin and finished second and third at Charlotte and Dover respectively. […]

Erik Jones an Okay Choice at Pocono

Erik Jones starts 22nd at Pocono on Saturday and could be someone to look at. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver has four top-ten finishes at Pocono in his last six appearances. Aside from a crash last year, that translates into four top-five results in the previous five races. He may not have the Joe Gibbs […]

Matt DiBenedetto Lukewarm at Best at Pocono

It has been rough for Matt DiBenedetto since Talladega and Kansas. The Wood Brothers Racing driver has slowly dived down the points race finishing 18th or worse in the previous six races. There is little optimism this week as again his car just does not perform well at Pocono. He did finish 13th and 6th […]

Bubba Wallace Not Recommended at Pocono

This weekend could be another learning experience for Bubba Wallace. The 23XI Racing driver had some promise heading into Nashville and struggled to a 20th-place result. As for Pocono, that 20th or worse theme continues in his seven races there. Furthermore, he has crashed twice, and crashing is a considering concern here. The No. 23 […]
