The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

Week 9 was an all-around awful one for me from a fantasy/gambling perspective, so I'm a little ticked off as I settle in to write this week's edition of the Cut List.

Justin Rose Tough To Trust At Masters

Justin Rose missed the first Masters cut of his career last year.

Starting Pitcher K-BB% Risers: Who to Believe In

The 2020 MLB season may have left starting pitchers with shorter starts and fewer total innings than usual, but arsenal adjustments and pitch improvements were still prevalent.
