Miles Sanders Dealing With A Lower-Body Injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is dealing with a "lower-body injury" and has been listed as week-to-week by the team. There were no more details about the injury on the team's injury report, but reporters don't seem to think there is much concern about Sanders going forward. This is likely just the team trying […]

Eric Thames Posts Three RBI In Tuesday's Win

Washington Nationals first baseman Eric Thames was 2-for-5 with three RBI during Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Atlanta Braves. It was a nice change of pace for the veteran slugger, as he has struggled mightily to begin the season. Thames is slashing .204/.264/.306 with one home run, six RBI, and a 14/2 K/BB rate. The […]

Josh Tomlin Adequate In Tuesday's Defeat

Atlanta Braves pitcher Josh Tomlin allowed two runs on six hits across four innings of work during Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. He struck out two batters and walked one in the no-decision. Tomlin has performed well across nine appearances this season, posting a 2.35 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 15 1/3 innings. […]

Freddie Freeman Hits Two-Run Homer In Loss

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. It was the fourth long-ball of the season for the 30-year-old. Freeman is now slashing .287/.398/.529 with 14 RBI in 2020. He is as consistent as they come from a fantasy perspective and will […]

Marc Leishman Looking To Find His Form

Since the restart, Marc Leishman has struggled a bit as evidenced by his 50% missed cut rate in the six events he’s played in. One piece of his game that’s been dialed in is his approach game where he ranks 20th in this field in strokes gained on approach in his last 50 rounds. As […]

Le'Veon Bell (RB, NYJ) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~25 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~35 ANALYSIS: Considering Bell a sleeper, with an ADP of 35 (late third round), might be a little too crazy, right? Bear with me here. Bell's current ADP of RB18, compared to where he is projected (per PFF numbers) to finish the year in PPR points (RB13) makes […]

Daniel Berger Comes To Boston In Good Form

Since the restart, one could argue that Daniel Berger has been one of the five best golfers to put his tee in the ground. In the first event back, he was able to win the Charles Schwab Challenge, followed by a T3 finish at RBC Heritage, a T2 at the WGC Saint Jude Invitational, and […]

Jamie Benn Leads the Way as Dallas Takes Lead in Series

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn picked up the game's first goal, a shorthanded marker coming just as play was changing from four-on-four to a Calgary power play. Benn also had a game-high six shots on net and two hits in the 2-1 victory. With points in four of the five games this series, Benn has […]

Mikael Backlund Scores Lone Goal for Flames in Loss

Calgary Flames forward Mikael Backlund scored an unassisted goal late in the first period, giving the Flames their only goal in the Game 5 loss. The goal was Backlund's fourth of the postseason and second of the series. Calgary's offensive struggles led to some line shuffling during the game, so while Backlund started the game […]

Tiger Woods Ready To Take On TPC Boston

Tiger Woods, following a T37 finish at the PGA Championship, will tee it up at TPC Boston for the 11th time in his illustrious career. This time, at The Northern Trust, he’s not in the greatest form following the restart as his only other event was The Memorial, an event where he finished T40. Not […]

Gardner Minshew (QB, JAX) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: As a sixth-round draft pick last season, Gardner Minshew II was expected to compete for a backup role behind recently-acquired Nick Foles. The rookie was thrust into a starring role early on though after Foles was injured in the season-opening game. Minshew would go on to […]

Carlos Carrasco Strikes Out Five In Short Outing

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five across 4 1/3 innings Tuesday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. Carrasco has uncharacteristically battled his control of late, surrendering 12 walks in his last 14 2/3 innings. He still has […]

Brad Hand Comes Through With Sixth Save

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand allowed one hit but struck out the side to record the save Tuesday against the Pirates. Hand entered the game with a three-run lead in the 10th inning. Even with a runner starting on second base, he held the Pirates scoreless, inducing two swinging strikeouts. After early-season struggles, Hand has […]

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and one run scored Tuesday against the Pirates. Santana drove in five of Cleveland's six runs.

MLB Betting Picks (8/19/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

The Braves did exactly as I expected by scoring five runs on Austin Voth, but the Nationals turned back around and had one big inning against the Atlanta bullpen and that was all that was needed. Then we had some fireworks in the Philly/Boston game once the Phillies dropped seven runs in the sixth inning, […]

Corbin Burnes Strikes Out Five In No Decision

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes pitched five innings against Minnesota on Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out five. He did not factor into the decision. Burnes started for the first time since July 25th and was effective for the most part, limiting a potent Minnesota offense to one […]

Amed Rosario Beginning To Heat Up

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Mets' 8-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Perhaps feeling the pressure of competition with Andres Gimenez, Robinson Cano and Luis Guillorme all swinging hot bats, Rosario is now 4-for-9 with a homer, double and four RBI […]

J.D. Davis Blasts Homer In Mets Win

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder J.D. Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in the Mets 8-3 win over Miami on Tuesday. Davis is now hitting .286 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 77 at-bats on the season. Davis broke out in 2019 in which he hit .307 with […]

Daniel Poncedeleon Has Another Inefficient Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon had another inefficient start in Tuesday's game, lasting just 3 1/3 innings after throwing 79 pitches. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven. Poncedeleon showed his ability to miss plenty of bats, but deep counts knocked him out of the game […]

Mike Minor Sees Dip In Velocity During Loss

In a 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor had a less than ideal performance. In 3 2/3 innings of work, Minor gave up nine hits, six earned runs, one walk, and struck out six batters on 86 pitches. Today was another disappointing outing for the 2019 breakout as […]

Rowan Wick Snags Save Number Four

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Rowan Wick recorded four outs to pick up his fourth save of the season on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Wick seems to be the preferred option to collect saves, but manager David Ross has yet to officially give him the title of closer. Craig Kimbrel entered the year as the closer […]
