Nick Solak Has Three Hits In Losing Effort

Texas Rangers second baseman Nick Solak awoke from a mini-slump on Friday with three hits during the club's 5-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The middle infielder had previously been just 3-for-21 (.143) over his past five games. Solak continues to hit too many balls on the ground but he's found his power stroke more […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/8 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

If you were here on Wednesday when I covered for Steve, you'd have read about how I'm leaning more to the prop bets which have been kind to me so far. What happened on Wednesday? The prop bet came in but the over/under pick did not, making it a break-even day. The over/under was a […]

Mike Foltynewicz Allows Four Runs In Loss

Texas Rangers pitcher Mike Foltynewicz continued his trend of inconsistent pitching during the club's 5-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Friday. The veteran right-hander allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over 6 2/3 innings. Foltynewicz showed solid control but his inconsistent command led to two home runs, including J.P. Crawford's first […]

Emmanuel Clase Allows First Earned Runs

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase had a rough Friday night as he gave up two earned runs on three hits without retiring a single batter in the ninth inning of Friday night's 3-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The whole inning was a disaster as Clase also committed a throwing error and allowed a […]

Dansby Swanson Has Two Hits In Loss

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson continued his inconsistent play on Friday during the club's 12-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The middle infielder went 2-for-3 with a double and a home run. He also drove in the only two runs of the game for Atlanta. However, Swanson is hitting just .216 with an ugly BB-K […]

Josh Tomlin Provides Much-Needed Innings Out Of Bullpen

Atlanta Braves pitcher Josh Tomlin threw 4 1/3 innings of much-needed relief during the club's 12-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The veteran reliever came into the game in the first inning when veteran hurler Charlie Morton was unable to secure the third out. Tomlin allowed five hits and a walk but he […]

Ryan Newman Has Limited Potential On Sunday At Darlington

Ryan Newman will begin Sunday from the 20th position for the Goodyear 400. Last year, he finished 15th, 14th, and 15th at Darlington. The Roush Fenway Racing driver could end up right around that position again on Sunday. That potential place differential is a limited positive but one nonetheless. With Newman able to stay on […]

Charlie Morton Has Nightmare First Inning

Atlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton failed to get out of the first inning during the club's 12-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. The 37-year-old veteran hurler pitched just 2/3 of an inning and allowed four hits and two walks which led to six runs. The big blow against Morton was a two-out, […]

Alex Bowman Could Have Fast Car At Darlington On Sunday

Alex Bowman may come from the middle of the pack and surprise on Sunday. He enjoyed two top-ten finishes on the track in 2020 including a second-place finish. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver led 41 laps during that Spring installment. There is some concern because he started fourth and sixth in those races but Bowman […]

Ross Chastain May Have A Little DFS Potential At Darlington

Though Ross Chastain has not finished in the top ten since Daytona, he may still feature a little upside on Sunday at Darlington. This is not significant but Chastain has improved on his track position during all three appearances (+5. +3. and +5). Those are not significant gains but it is better than nothing. He […]

Kurt Busch Has Experience To Show DFS Upside At Darlington

Kurt Busch has performed pretty well at Darlington and could inch up the field on Sunday. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has finished in the top ten five out of the last six appearances on the 1.366-mile track. Experience has served the elder Busch here well and starting 17th lends itself to place differential points. […]

Ryan Blaney Just Too Dicey To Consider At Darlington

Ryan Blaney and the Darlington track just do not mix. Even with better starting positions, the Team Penske driver has never shown the ability to come close to contending. The Goodyear 400 is likely to be no different this Sunday. He has a negative place differential in five of the last six races here. That […]

Daniel Suarez Not Likely A Factor DFS Wise At Darlington

Daniel Suarez has just one top ten finish this year. The TrackHouse Racing driver does start 15th this Sunday but that is where the optimism likely ends. Suarez at Darlington has not fared well in the Toyota car. The last three races have resulted in him not finishing on the lead lap for a variety […]

Michael McDowell Not Expected To Thrive At Darlington On Sunday

Little is expected of Michael McDowell on Sunday. The Front Row Motorsports driver has zero top-ten finishes at Darlington. Furthermore, the 1.366-mile track has seen him finish 16th for his best result. McDowell slid back late at Kansas last week and that trend may just continue this week. Any regression similar would again push him […]

Joey Logano May Feature Some Upside At Goodyear 400 Sunday

Joey Logano could generate a little bit of interest at Darlington on Sunday. He finished well during the last two installments last year (sixth and third place results). Starting 12th even opens the door a bit for some place differential upside. The Fall race saw the Team Penske driver make up ten spots (13th to […]

Chris Buescher Not Likely To Be Factor At Darlington

Chris Buescher was a victim of an unfortunate circumstance last week at Kansas. If not for some caution craziness, he may have easily finished in the top five or won. Buscher led 13 laps in the Roush Fenway Racing car. This week features a track that has not been kind to him in the past. […]

Tyler Reddick A Risky Choice At Darlington On Sunday

Tyler Reddick only raced on the Darlington track in 2020 so there are only three races to lean on. The first installment in the Spring showed that the Richard Childress Racing driver had the ability to contend. He finished seventh. However, the other two races saw Reddick not improve much on positioning (just one spot […]

Austin Dillon An Intriguing Option At Darlington On Sunday

Austin Dillon starts ninth on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. At Darlington in 2020, the Richard Childress Racing driver had a bit of an adventure. However, the final race saw him nearly take home the checkered flag. He finished in second place and simply ran out of time. Can Dillon come close to duplicating that […]

Matt DiBenedetto Might Have Favorable Result At Darlington

Matt DiBenedetto may be one of the best drivers right now that few know about. The Wood Brothers Racing driver has enjoyed top-ten finishes for the first time in his career. Furthermore, he starts eighth this week for the Goodyear 400. In eight appearances, DiBenedetto delivered two top ten results. The No. 21 does not […]

Chase Elliott A Wildcard At Darlington On Sunday

Chase Elliott could finish anywhere on Sunday at Darlington. He starts in sixth and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has the ability to take the checkered flag. The problem is that he finished fourth, 38th, and 20th in 2020 on the 1.366-mile track. Elliott led 114 laps in the Fall race before falling back due […]

William Byron May Stay Near Front Sunday At Darlington

William Byron gets a fortunate fifth-place start on Sunday and showed some potential last year. He finished fifth in the Fall race at Darlington. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has only led three laps in five appearances but showed the ability to get into the top ten and stay near there in 2020. The No. […]

Wade Miley Throws No-Hitter

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley threw a no-hitter in a 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Miley struck out eight over nine scoreless innings to improve his record to 4-2 on the year. He took a perfect game into the sixth inning before issuing a walk. It goes into the books as the […]
