Brandon Workman Takes Loss In Phillies Debut

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brandon Workman allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings pitched and took the loss in his first game since being traded from Boston. Workman pitched worse than his numbers as he allowed four hits, a walk, and allowed two inherited runners to score to cost the Phillies the lead. The good […]

Foster Moreau (TE, LV) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Moreau was simply the other TE on the Raiders in 2019, and the one who watched Darren Waller emerge as a top-five fantasy option the closest. Waller dominated the snaps, staying on the field 90% of the time, compared to 36% for Moreau. In his rookie […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/23/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We finally had a rough day after about two weeks of consistent profit. It was bound to happen! After the Nationals couldn't hold on to a 5 run lead to cash my -1.5 bet, we saw the Blue Jays and Phillies both lose on walk-off hits. Then, to top it all off, […]

Domantas Sabonis Arriving To Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (foot) is joining the team in Orlando, but isn't expected to play right away. He will have a minimum 4-day quarantine before he can do anything. Sabonis has not done any basketball activities in six weeks. It doesn't sound like Sabonis is close to getting back on the court. The […]

Russell Westbrook Remains Without A Timetable

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) has been unable to suit up at all during the first three games of the postseason. Head coach Mike D'Antoni mentioned Westbrook is doing better, but remains without a timetable. The Rockets are up 2-1 in the series after losing in overtime on Saturday. They aren't going to rush […]

Gary Harris Upgraded To Doubtful

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been upgraded from out to doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 contest versus the Utah Jazz. He has not played at all during the bubble, but continues to make progress. He'd likely be limited if he does play Sunday since he hasn't played in a few weeks. Torrey Craig […]

Josh Lindblom Takes First Loss Saturday Against Pirates

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Josh Lindblom (1-1) took the loss Saturday at Pittsburgh after giving up three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and one walk over four innings. The right-hander gave up three extra-base hits Saturday, including a two-run, 434-foot blast to Gregory Polanco during his final frame. Lindblom has a 6.65 ERA, […]

Patrick Beverley Doubtful For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks. It sounds like Beverley is going to miss his third game in a row due to a left calf issue. Reggie Jackson, Landry Shamet, and Lou Williams will all benefit if Beverley is forced out again. […]

Rajon Rondo Scratched On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) was a late scratch from Saturday's Game 3 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Rondo has not played during the bubble because he has been rehabbing from a broken thumb. The medical team cleared him for Saturday's game, but he didn't suit up due to back spasms. It […]

Triston McKenzie Very Sharp In Big League Debut

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie (1-0) allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out 10 across six innings to earn the win Saturday against the Tigers. McKenzie was sharp in his big-league debut, racking up 16 called strikes and 17 swinging strikes across 80 total pitches, showcasing plenty of […]

Luka Doncic Uncertain For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is dealing with a sprained left ankle, but the MRI reportedly didn't reveal anything alarming. Doncic wasn't moving well after suffering the injury last game, but the swelling is reportedly minimal. Seth Curry, […]

Domingo Santana Drives In Three Runs Saturday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Domingo Santana went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Saturday against the Tigers. Santana had only one hit, but made it count by delivering a three-RBI double in the sixth inning. That put Cleveland up 3-1, and was all the run support that they needed for the victory. Santana now […]

Steven Adams Exits Late In Fourth Quarter

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) suffered an injury late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's Game 3 win over the Houston Rockets and did not return. He is reportedly dealing with a right knee contusion. Nerlens Noel could be asked to play heavy minutes if Adams is unable to suit up for Game […]

Keston Hiura Goes Yard Again Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk during Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Pirates. Hiura has a .240/.306/.470 slash line with seven home runs and 16 RBI but he also has a 34 percent strikeout rate. The strikeouts are obviously a cause for concern but he's […]

WR Stat Sleepers: Fantasy Points Per Target

In 2019, Marvin Jones Jr. averaged 2.13 fantasy points per target in ESPN standard PPR scoring. "What is that supposed to mean to me?" you ask. Fair enough. That's an odd stat to throw out there without any context. Instead, what if I phrased it as follows: In 2019, Marvin Jones Jr. averaged more fantasy points […]
