David Peterson Throws A Gem On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson went 7 1/3 innings pitched on Friday allowing just two earned runs, four hits, and two walks while striking out nine batters in the Mets' 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Peterson did not factor into the decision. It was a terrific bounce-back start for the 25-year […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/15 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last week was very hit and miss. Carlos Martinez got us off to a great start with under 4.5 K. Then Luis Castillo happened and the less said about him right now, the better. Finally, the madness occurred. Picking under nine runs in the Royals vs White Sox game, Chicago scored eight in the first […]

Jonathan Lucroy Signs With Braves

Free-agent backstop Jonathan Lucroy secured a minor-league contract with the catching-starved Atlanta Braves on Friday.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. A Risky Choice At Dover

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. provides a little intrigue from the 20th spot on Sunday at Dover. He does have two top-ten results in his last five races at the track. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver finished tenth in the first installment at the "Monster Mile" but had constant issues during the second Dover race. He has […]

Ross Chastain Is One To Stay Away From At Dover

Ross Chastain has raced six times at Dover and each time there has been one issue after another and another. He does start 19th which offers a bit of optimism. However, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver is barely inside the top 20 and expects to fall back on Sunday. He did not even race here […]

Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Choice At Dover

Matt DiBenedetto stands a chance to at least lead some more laps on Sunday at Dover. He led 17 and 11 laps respectively in the two races from the "Monster Mile" last season. The Wood Brothers Racing driver showed some speed and restraint last year. He knew when to attack the track and knew when […]

Chase Briscoe Will Gain More Experience At Dover On Sunday

Chase Briscoe will log some more laps at the Drydene 400 which should serve him well for the future. However, that time is not the present for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. In six races on similar tracks, Briscoe has not cracked the top ten and just does not seem to be able to come close. […]

Alex Bowman Should Be Nice DFS Choice On Sunday At Dover

Alex Bowman has shown some excellent results at Dover of late. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has finished in the top five in three of his previous four appearances. The 21st place results mixed in was from a faulty tire and car. Overall, Bowman can drive hard and fast enough to keep up with the […]

Brad Keselowski Likely To Improve Position At Dover On Sunday

Brad Keselowski starts all the way down in 15th on Sunday at Dover. This gives the Team Penske driver a rare opportunity to achieve an easy positive place differential. He has finished in the top ten twice in a row and even led nine laps in the first installment last season. Every race since 2017 […]

Austin Dillon Could Inch Up Field At Dover On Sunday

Austin Dillon raced pretty well at Dover last year. Yes, the race was shortened to 311 laps but he did lead 49 laps once and finished ninth in the second installment. The Richard Childress Racing driver showed the speed and ability to handle the banking on the turns well. It boiled down more to losing […]

Ryan Newman Starts 13th, May Not Move Up On Sunday

Ryan Newman has not fared well at Dover since his switch to Roush Fenway Racing. He has finished outside the top-15 in all four races. Also, Newman has ended up a lap down every single time. On the bright side, he has not crashed at the "Monster Mile" since 2013. Unfortunately, even with qualifying second […]

Tyler Reddick's Inexperience May Show At Dover On Sunday

Tyler Reddick has never raced 400 laps at Dover. Both races in 2020 were shortened to 311 laps due to COVID. He did lurk around the top 15 but that was it. The Richard Childress Racing driver finished on the lead lap during the second installment of the "Monster Mile". However, he faded to the […]

Christopher Bell Has Little Upside At Dover

Christopher Bell begins Sunday's race in the 11th position on Sunday. However, his two races on the mile-long track have ended with him off the lead lap. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver's goal is probably just to stay on the lead lap by the race's end. Bell dropped positions as he could never get the […]

Chris Buescher Not Expected To Be Factor At Dover On Sunday

Chris Buescher does start tenth on Sunday at the Drydene 400 but will he even finish on the lead lap? Buescher has only done so once and that was a 14th place result last year. The Roush Fenway Racing driver could have a tough time again at the "Monster Mile" trying to stay among the […]

Joey Logano Could Stay In Top Ten At Dover On Sunday

The chances Joey Logano wins at Dover are very slim at best. However, his Team Penske car seems to always linger near the front during the final laps at the "Monster Mile". He has finished in the top ten during four of the previous five races. Logano starts ninth on Sunday afternoon. He even briefly […]

Chase Elliott A Wildcard Yet Again At Dover On Sunday

Chase Elliott has had a true mixed bag of results on the "Monster Mile" lately. He won in 2018 but had mechanical issues and a crash which ended his day within ten laps twice. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver had two fifth-place results too. It almost feels like all or nothing for Elliott. His […]

Ryan Blaney Expected To Lose Track Position At Dover On Sunday

Ryan Blaney and Dover do not mix. The Team Penske Driver has just two top-ten finishes in ten appearances. He does start seventh on Sunday. He has a negative place differential in four of the last five races on the mile-long track. There is little to indicate that this race will be much different. The […]
