KBO Betting Picks (5/15/20) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We go from and 0-fer to a sweep. It was a great day and I'm happy to get back to winning ways, but I just want to say that nothing really changed in my decision making from Wednesday to Thursday. I'm not a sharp and I certainly don't have some crazy algorithm that makes my […]

John Collins Wants To Play Alongside Clint Capela

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins believes that he can play alongside center Clint Capela. “I have an ability to swing the ball, run the floor, shoot, create offense for myself, post up, take advantage of mismatches," says Collins. However, Capela does most of his damage at the rim, so Collins will likely be asked to […]

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson does not believe he's played his last game for the organization. Before the trade deadline, Thompson was expected to be dealt, but remained with the Cavs. However, the team added center Andre Drummond during the deadline.

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Andy Isabella (a second-round pick in 2019), Hakeem Butler (fourth round) and KeeSean Johnson (sixth round) didn't have very positive rookie seasons last year, but the team continues to believe in their abilities.

Jimmie Johnson A Solid Pick To Consider For Darlington

Jimmie Johnson used to be one of the favorites to win at Darlington on a yearly basis, but he has not scored a top-10 finish at the site since 2014. In 21 starts at the South Carolina track, Johnson has three wins, 12 top-10 finishes and 554 laps led, which is fourth-most among active drivers. […]

Chase Elliott has seen varying levels of success in previous races at Darlington. In five starts at the South Carolina track, Elliott has three finishes of 11th or better, with one top-five finish in 2018.

Seahawks Expected To Re-Sign Geno Smith

The Seattle Seahawks have been expected all along to re-sign quarterback Geno Smith, and they could make the deal official soon, according to a source.

Joey Logano Must Be Considered Despite Darlington History

Joey Logano is this season’s most recent winner but displays a mixed history in his career at Darlington. In 11 starts at the site, Logano has five top-10 finishes, three of which were top-five finishes in the last five races. Since 2017 at Darlington Raceway, Logano has the fifth-most quality passes (120), which are passes […]

Blake Snell Not Willing To Take Less Pay For More Risk

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell said the risk of returning to play in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic is "just not worth it," at least not for significantly less than his original $7 million salary for this season.

Lynn Bowden Jr.'s Presence Bad News For Josh Jacobs?

The Oakland Raiders have more mouths to feed on offense after they drafted wide receivers Henry Ruggs III and Bryan Edwards and running back Lynn Bowden Jr., which could be bad news for running back Josh Jacobs. The selection of Bowden, who has experience catching passes as a receiver in college, means that Jacobs could […]

Kevin Harvick Is A Fantasy Favorite For Darlington

Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick should be trusted by fantasy players for a great finish at Darlington. In 23 starts at the site, Harvick has one win, 12 Top 10 finishes and 581 laps led, which ranks second of active drivers. Since 2017 at the track, Harvick ranks sixth in Driver Rating (104.8), fourth in […]

Zay Jones Not A Lock To Make Team

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones was given starter snaps immediately after the team traded for him in the middle of last season.

Willie Gay Jr. Will Have Opportunity To Make Big Impact

Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is high on rookie linebacker Willie Gay Jr. and would love to see him displace Anthony Hitchens or Damien Wilson in the starting lineup in 2020. Gay was selected with the 63rd overall pick in the second round in this year's draft, and his speed is what can […]

Mecole Hardman Has A Chance To Make Bigger Impact

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has a chance to see more time on the field in his second season in 2020 after Demarcus Robinson played almost 300 more snaps than Hardman in 2019. Hardman, just 22 years old, had 26 catches on 41 targets for 538 yards (20.7 yards per catch) and six […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II will be donning a new uniform if/when the NFL season kicks off, though it's unknown how healthy he'll be when that time comes.

Eagles Hope Coaching Changes Can Ignite Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles will look to rejuvenate their offense by incorporating some principles from Rich Scangarello, who was hired as a senior offensive assistant. Scangarello was formerly the quarterbacks coach for Kyle Shanahan with San Francisco, so he will look to "Shanahan-ize" an offense that has taken steps back since finishing as the third-ranked scoring […]

Logan Ryan Says Playing For Jets Makes Sense

Free-agent defensive back Logan Ryan would be an ideal fit for the New York Jets, but he hasn't come to a decision yet. Ryan said that the Jets would make sense, but he is still “completely open for business.” He wants to do what is best for himself and his family going forward. The Jets […]

James Paxton Throwing Simulated Games

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (back) has been throwing simulated games as he recovers from offseason back surgery.
