Early ADP Risers at Wide Receiver

As you may know, Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player in your team. A high ADP (that is, actually, a low-numbered ADP) means that a […]

Jose Ramirez Diagnosed With Left Foot Contusion

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez was diagnosed with a left foot contusion after exiting Friday's game against the Pirates early.

Denny Hamlin Expects to Lurk Again at Nashville

Denny Hamlin excels at gathering points for the "Points Championship". Despite not winning a race all year, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver keeps leading. His margin is just 47 points over Kyle Larson and 73 points over Chase Elliott. He finished seventh at Charlotte and Dover. The only concern could be laps led. Hamlin has […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - The Korean Zombie vs. Ige (UFC Vegas 29)

We'll be back in the UFC Apex Center in Las Vegas for a couple of events before we go on a small, two-week vacation to close June and open July before we change venues (but not places) to enter the T-Mobile Arena on July 10 to watch UFC 264 unfold. But let's not get too […]

Martin Truex Jr. Favored to Contend at Ally 400

Martin Truex Jr. has had a few rough races in a row on these speedway courses. He finished 19th at Dover and 29th at Charlotte due to a multitude of issues with his car. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver thrives on long runs but the high wear tires are something that might benefit Truex Jr. […]

Riley Greene Has Three Hits At Double-A

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene went 3-for-4 on Friday to raise his batting average to .271. The 20-year-old has had a bit of an up-and-down season in 2021 but he's also playing at Double-A after skipping over High-A ball entirely. During his debut season in 2019, after being selected fifth overall out of high […]

Spencer Torkelson Slugs First Double-A Homer

Detroit Tigers first base prospect Spencer Torkelson slugged his first Double-A home run on Friday.

Alex Bowman a Bit of a Wildcard for the Ally 400

Alex Bowman is the fourth cog in the Hendrick Motorsports Racing team and yet he has managed to win twice this year.

Daniel Bard Charged With The Blown Save Friday

Colorado Rockies pitcher Daniel Bard allowed one run on a walk and two hits while striking out one across one inning during Friday's win over the Brewers.

William Byron Remains Consistent Threat at Nashville

William Byron consistently gets results of the top ten variety. Aside from the crash a few laps in at Sonoma. Byron has two fourth-place results in his last two races on 1-2 mile speedways (Dover and Charlotte). Consider that this week involves a 750 hp package. An interesting wrinkle in some tire tests is this. […]

Chase Elliott Should Continue Hot Streak at Nashville

Next to Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott has been the hottest driver in NASCAR for about the last month or so. The No. 9 has finished seventh or better in his last six races. With that streak, Elliott has risen to third in the points battle. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has even shown he can […]

Antonio Senzatela Throws Six Innings In No-Decision Friday

Colorado Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits while striking out four across six innings in Friday's 6-5 win over the Brewers. He did not factor in the decision. The Rockies pitcher surrendered a solo shot to Brewers infielder Luis Urias in the third frame and then yielded three more […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went 1-for-3 with a walk and solo home run versus the Arizona Diamondbacks in Friday's victory.

Kyle Larson Favorite to Win at Nashville

Kyle Larson has won on every type of track lately. Not surprisingly, he is a favorite this week to win the Ally 400 on Sunday. Short runs or long runs do not seem to matter for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver. Larson even won the All-Star race in Texas last Sunday. Over the last six […]

Kenley Jansen Continues Strong Season

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen continued his impressive season by picking up his 17th save of the season versus the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Jansen worked a perfect 1-2-3 inning, but didn't record a strikeout on the evening. Jansen has continued to have an impressive season and he has shown no signs of slowing […]

Trevor Bauer Earns Seventh Win

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer earned his seventh victory of the season on Friday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Brendan Rodgers Doubles Twice In Friday’s Win

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored, and an RBI during Friday's 6-5 win over the Brewers.
