Dylan Moore Hits First Home Run

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore has gotten off to a rough start for 2021, but he hit his first home run of the season off Bruce Zimmermann of the Orioles in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader. Moore now has a paltry .535 OPS, but he has also contributed two steals, giving him a […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 32: English Premier League

I've never experienced heartbreak like I did during matchweek 31. Going into Monday, we were three for three (+117, +104 and +132) and got a correct score at +1150. Then came game four and with West Brom leading at half-time by two goals to nil, all we needed was Southampton to score in the second-half, […]

Taylor Trammell Thrown Out Twice On The Bases

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell made several outs on the basepaths Thursday. After stealing his first base of the season in the opening end of the doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles, things did not go as well in the nightcap. Trammell was picked off first base by starter Bruce Zimmerman, and caught attempting to steal […]

Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee To Be Rested Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (rest) won't play in Friday's game against the Thunder. Center Mason Plumlee (rest) and guard Wayne Ellington (rest) will also take a seat on the bench for the first half of a back-to-back as the 16-39 Pistons opt to throw in the towel for a game. Isaiah Stewart should see […]

Steven Stamkos Ruled Out For The Week

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (undisclosed) has been ruled out for this week. Head coach Jon Cooper hoped to get him back for Saturday's clash with Florida, but Stamkos sadly won't make it. Tampa's captain, who has been out since April 10, also won't play against the Panthers on Thursday. Alex Barre-Boulet filled Stamkos' […]

Justin Dunn Shines Thursday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn shined on Thursday in the second half of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Dunn managed to take advantage of the favorable matchup, throwing five innings of one-run ball while allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six. The only blemish was a Freddy Galvis […]

Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby Resting Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest), forward Pascal Siakam (rest), and forward OG Anunoby (rest) will all be taking a seat for Friday's contest against the Magic. The Raptors have been conservative with their core players lately, particularly Lowry, who is set to miss his third straight game due to rest. Fred VanVleet, who is […]

Chris Driedger Makes Second Consecutive Start

Florida Panthers goaltender Chris Driedger will make a second consecutive start on Thursday against the Lightning. The 26-year-old delivered a 3-2 overtime victory against Dallas on Tuesday, improving to 12-5-2 for the year. He boasts a 2.04 goals-against average for the season with a .930 save percentage and two shutouts. This marks the first time […]

Kawhi Leonard Questionable, Paul George Off Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers. Forward Paul George (rest) was left off the injury report- and will be available for the contest. Leonard has missed each of the last three games, and George would be in line for heavy usage if the former is forced […]

Nikita Gusev Set For Panthers Debut On Top Line

Florida Panthers winger Nikita Gusev will make his team debut on the first line in Thursday's clash with Tampa Bay, slotting in alongside Aleksander Barkov and Mason Marchment. Gusev joined the Panthers on April 11 after his contract was terminated by New Jersey. He had a decent debut in the NHL with the Devils last […]

Emmanuel Clase Locks Down Third Save

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase recorded his third save of the season as he allowed one hit and one unearned run while striking out one in the ninth of Thursday's 4-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Clase allowed two runners in this one, but neither were really his fault as Luis Robert got […]

Dustin Tokarski Makes Fifth Start Of The Season

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Dustin Tokarski will guard the cage in Thursday's road game against Washington, earning his fifth start of the season. He takes over from Linus Ullmark, who once again got hurt in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss against Boston. The Swedish netminder player only a handful of minutes before being forced off with an […]

Aaron Civale Throws Six Strong Thursday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Aaron Civale went six innings while allowing five hits, one run and two walks while striking out four in Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. It was another quality start for Civale, who earned the win in this one. He is now 3-0 with a 2.18 ERA and 16 strikeouts […]

James Karinchak Throws Eighth Inning Thursday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher James Karinchak pitched a scoreless eighth inning while striking out two in Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The Indians opted to use Emmanuel Clase for the save once again. It is anyone's guess who will eventually be the closer for the Indians, but it should be noted that Clase […]

Jose Ramirez Breaks Out Of Slump

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run shot in Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The two-run blast came off Lance Lynn in the sixth inning and gave the Indians a 2-1 lead, a lead which they would not relinquish. The home run was great to see as Ramirez had […]

Cesar Hernandez Records Two Hits Thursday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Hernandez has been cold to begin 2021 as he is now hitting just .178 with two RBI on the season. It was nice to see Hernandez have a solid day at the dish here and […]

Vitek Vanecek Takes On Buffalo Thursday Night

Washington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek will be the team's starter for Thursday's home game against Buffalo. Ilya Samsonov is carrying an upper-body injury and is rated day-to-day, meaning Craig Anderson will be the backup here. Vanecek has a near-perfect 5-0-1 record against the Sabres this season. It's been a great debut season for him all […]

Jesper Bratt Won't Feature On Thursday Versus Rangers

New Jersey Devils winger Jesper Bratt won't be in the lineup for Thursday's meeting with the Rangers, missing his seventh game of the season. The silky winger got hurt blocking a shot in Tuesday's 3-0 loss against the Rangers and is listed day-to-day. Pavel Zacha (undisclosed) also remains out on Thursday, leaving the Devils quite […]

Artemi Panarin Should Play Thursday Night

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin should be good to go on Thursday versus the Devils despite missing the morning skate. According to Rangers head coach David Quinn, Panarin missed the session for maintenance. Panarin scored his 13th goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-0 win over New Jersey, passing Mark Messier for most […]

Tuukka Rask Makes Comeback On Thursday

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask (upper body) will make his return to the ice on Thursday against the Islanders, earning his 16th start of the season. He's been nursing an upper-body injury since March 25. Rask's poor health means that he's logged only three appearances since the start of last month, failing to win any […]

Broncos Could Trade DaeSean Hamilton

The Denver Broncos could decide to trade wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton in the coming weeks leading up to the NFL draft after they drafted wide receivers in the first and second rounds last year -- Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, respectively. Denver also has Tim Patrick, who impressed in 2020 in an expanded role, and […]

Nerlens Noel Expected To Play Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, which forced Taj Gibson into the starting five. However, Gibson played well, but won't have much fantasy value off the bench. Norvel Pelle saw minutes in the teens […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against Warriors

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's game, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another game. The Cavs aren't playing for much, so they don't have any incentive to rush Sexton back on the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Rest Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He sat out of Wednesday's game and could sit out here as well for precautionary reasons. The Bucks don't have much of an incentive to put Antetokounmpo out there at less than 100 percent. Bobby Portis and Pat […]

Corey Dickerson Has Two Hits On Thursday

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson continued to play well in Thursday's game, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Dickerson keeps hitting in the leadoff spot against right-handed starters, and is now hitting .263 with a .702 OPS. Once upon a time, Dickerson hit 27 home runs in a season. That power seems completely gone now, but […]

Donte DiVincenzo Listed As Questionable Versus Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played 23 minutes on Wednesday, but none of the starters played heavy minutes due to the fact it was a blowout. His absence would mean more minutes for Bryn Forbes and Pat Connaughton. Neither player has tremendous […]

Robert Williams III Might Sit Against Lakers

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played 26 minutes on Tuesday but appears to have tweaked his knee in the process. His absence would mean more playing time for Tristan Thompson. Luke Kornet could also get back into the rotation, but he […]

Starling Marte Homers And Walks Twice On Thursday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte had a good game on Thursday, going 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run. The homer was his first of the year, and he raised his batting average to .326 and his OPS to .907 in this game. Marte is hitting second in most games and has been […]

Devonte' Graham Won't Play Versus Nets

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is a tough break considering the Hornets are already going to be shorthanded for this contest. Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is questionable, but could have sneaky streaming appeal, assuming he suits up. Otherwise, Grant Riller and Cody Martin […]

Dylan Floro Struggles In A Save Opportunity

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro struggled in the ninth inning of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Floro was called upon for the save after Yimi Garcia threw 25 pitches on Wednesday night and was not available on Thursday. Floro came into a 6-5 game and allowed two singles followed by a walk to […]
