Champ or Chump: Alec Bohm

A lot of huge names are underperforming in 2021, including DJ LeMahieu, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, Freddie Freeman, and Trevor Story. Alec Bohm isn't the same type of household name those guys are, so the fact that he's only slashing .224/.266/.309 on the season with four homers and three steals after a breakout debut in […]

Shane Lowry Could Come Up Big At US Open

Shane Lowry is one of those golfers that does not jump off the page but finds ways to excel at big tournaments. Last week, he finished tied for sixth at The Memorial. Lowry nabbed a top-five at the PGA Championship. There was that top ten at The Players Championship and even a ninth at the […]

Chris Taylor Continues Impressive Season With Another Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor continued his career year by going 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's victory versus the Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers have dealt with plenty of injuries on offense this year, but Taylor has become an unsung hero. Taylor is now hitting .275 with nine home runs, 35 RBI […]

Matt Fitzpatrick Could Amaze Again At US Open

If Matt Fitzpatrick had started a little better last week, he may just have won the Palmetto Championship. As it was, his 69-66 got him to a tie for tenth. Some will argue it was a bit of a backdoor finish but his putting was excellent. Since The Genesis in February, Fitzpatrick has been fairly […]

Will Smith Hits Seventh Home Run In Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's victory versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Smith blasted his home run off of Spencer Howard in the bottom of the fourth inning. Smith continues to have a solid season behind the plate and he is now hitting .271 with seven home […]

Pete Fairbanks Picks Up Third Save On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks picked up his third save of the season in the Rays 5-2 win over the White Sox on Monday. Fairbanks worked a clean ninth inning allowing no baserunners in securing the victory. It was Fairbanks' second save in his last three appearances for the Rays. Although Diego Castillo […]

Kenley Jansen Records 16th Save

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen picked up his 16th save of the season versus the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Jansen worked a 1-2-3 inning and recorded one strikeout. The veteran continues to excel as one of the best closers in the league. He now owns a 1.63 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 27 2/3 […]

Tony Finau Should Be In The Mix At US Open

Tony Finau is a perennial top-ten machine in majors. A 50% rate is just ridiculous. Also, he finished tied for 8th at last year's US Open. He is another one of those golfers that thrive at Torrey Pines with a slew of top-six finishes. Yes, the golfer has not won a major but again, he […]

Tony Gonsolin Can't Get Through Four Innings

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin only last 3 2/3 innings to record a no-decision in his second start of the season versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Gonsolin allowed four hits, one run, three walks and struck out five on the evening. The three walks were discouraging, but it was just Gonsolin's second start since […]

Adam Scott Likely Struggles Again At US Open

Adam Scott did finish 16th at The Memorial last week but that 71-73 did little to inspire confidence for what will be a harder US Open course at Torrey Pines South. One cannot have negative strokes gained off the tee this week especially and at -0.103, that is just what Scott has. His putting was […]

Patrick Reed Will Grind His Way Into Contention At US Open

Patrick Reed loves Torrey Pines and Torrey Pines loves him. He won the Farmers Insurance Open in January and has never finished outside the top-25 on the course. A lot of his metrics scream stay away but he finds a way to contend at big tournaments. He finished fifth at The Memorial last week behind […]

Bryson DeChambeau Has Length And A Favorite At US Open

Bryson DeChambeau sees a Torrey Pines South Course that should favor him this week for the US Open. The length is majestic but DeChambeau is tops on tour driving the ball at 322.7 yards. His accuracy ranks just 181st but his overall strokes gained is over two which again leads the tour. There is a […]

Kevin Pillar Drives In Two On Monday

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and a walk in the Mets 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday. Pillar continues to perform for the Mets while many regulars including Brandon Nimmo (finger), Michael Conforto (hamstring), and Jeff McNeil (hamstring) remain on the injured list. Over his last […]

Jose Ramirez Drives In Two Monday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a run scored, a double, and two RBI in Monday night's 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. There is not much left to say about Ramirez as he is now hitting .385 with a home run, eight RBI, and five doubles over the previous two weeks. […]

Rory McIlroy Must Drive Ball Accurately To Thrive At US Open

Rory McIlroy can hit a ball a country mile. He ranks second in driving distance at 318.4 yards. However, his just over 55% accuracy is only 173rd. McIlroy has had an up and down Spring, to say the least. He won the Wells Fargo, missed the cut at the Masters, but finished in the top-20 […]

Dominic Smith Breaks Out On Monday

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith, who came into Monday's game against the Cubs in an 0-for-20 slide, went 2-for-3 with a walk, homer, and two runs scored after manager Luis Rojas moved him to the number three spot in the lineup. It was a much-needed game for Smith. Overall, he is slashing .244/.312/.358 with […]

Jean Carlos Mejia Allows Two Earned Runs Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Jean Carlos Mejia went four innings Monday allowing two earned runs and striking out three in the Tribe's 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. This was a decent outing for Mejia who is still learning to be a starter in his young career. This marks the deepest he has pitched in […]

Dustin Johnson Expects To Contend At US Open This Week

Dustin Johnson faces a tougher Torrey Pines South course this week. Yes, the Farmers' Insurance Tournament is familiar to many. However, the US Open will set pins and the course much tougher for golfers. The winner of the Masters this year finished sixth in last year's US Open. Johnson faring well in majors not named […]

Emmanuel Clase Earns Save Monday Night

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase threw a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn his 10th save of the season in Monday night's 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. It was Clase's first save since May 31st, but that is mostly due to the Indians not needing him for many save situations. James […]

Eric Lauer Takes Loss And Falls To 1-3

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer (1-3) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Reds after allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while fanning three across five innings. Lauer has pitched more than five innings just twice all season long and has been showing some control issues over his last few […]
