Pocono Raceway Has Been Difficult For Alex Bowman

Alex Bowman will start the Organics 325 at Pocono Raceway in 10th, but his history at Pocono Raceway should have fantasy players hesitant to put him in their lineups. Bowman has just one top-10 performance and averages a disappointing 22nd-place finish for his career. In addition, Bowman has just two top-10 finishes in his last […]

Christopher Bell Starts Deep In The Field At Pocono

Leavine Family Racing's Christopher Bell will start from the 36th position in Saturday's Pocono Organics 325 at Pocono Raceway. Bell led his first career Cup Series laps at Talladega last week, but a self-induced penalty relegated Bell to a 29th-place finish. Bell has some previous success at Pocono, as he won a Truck Series race […]

Aric Almirola On The Pole At Pocono

Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola drew the pole position for the Pocono Organics 325, the first race at Pocono of a weekend doubleheader. Almirola comes into Pocono with some momentum after finishing fifth at Homestead, and backward across the line, third at Talladega. Unfortunately, Pocono is not one of Almirola's better tracks. In 15 career starts, […]

Knicks Waive Allonzo Trier

New York Knicks guard Allonzo Trier has been waived by the organization. He started off his rookie season with a bang dropping two 15-point games in his first three contests. He played in 64 games in 2018, but that number decreased all the way down to 24 this season. His role in New York quickly […]

Erik Jones Provides Significant Upside At Pocono

Although he has only made six starts at Pocono Raceway, Erik Jones has shown a prowess for racing at NASCAR's two-and-a-half-mile triangle. In his last three trips to Pocono Raceway, Jones has qualified in the top five each time and backed those pre-race performances up with top-five finishes. This week, Jones will be starting 19th […]

The Chicago White Sox released relief pitchers Zach Putnam and Caleb Frare, starting pitcher Matt Tomshaw, first baseman Matt Skole and infielder Ramon Torres on Friday.

Giants Release Tyson Ross, Nick Vincent

The San Francisco Giants released starting pitcher Tyson Ross, reliever Nick Vincent and outfielder Jaime Westbrook on Friday ahead of the deadline to submit up to 60 names for their player pool this year. All three were non-roster invites on minor league deals. Ross, 33, struggled to a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 and […]

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 6/27/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! There’s a good chance that your mother told you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.“ Well, mine did too. But I prefer the words of Alice Roosevelt Longworth who changed the second part to "...then come sit next to me". Because the reality is that's […]

Andrew Toles Jailed For Sleeping Behind Airport

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles was jailed this week after police said they found him sleeping behind the Key West airport in Florida. Toles was arrested on June 22 on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing after he refused to leave the area. Police gave him several chances to leave the area, but he wouldn't […]

Salvador Perez In Better Shape

Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny said that catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) "is in better shape" now than he was back in spring training in March. We'd hope so, as everyone has had several months now to take care of their bodies, especially those coming off serious injuries like Perez. The 30-year-old missed the entire […]

Adalberto Mondesi Looking Good

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) has sent the team some video and is looking good after having offseason surgery to fix a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, according to manager Mike Matheny. There's less risk with the speedy infielder now that he's had extra time to heal, and his stolen-base prowess (43 […]

Kyle Busch Looks To Continue His Dominance At Pocono

After a disappointing 32nd-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway last week, Kyle Busch has a golden opportunity to bounce back this week with the Cup Series return to Pocono Raceway. In the Cup Series last four trips to The Tricky Triangle, no driver has posted a better driver rating than Busch's 128.3. On his way to […]

KBO Betting Picks (6/27/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

A grand slam kept us from a clean sweep day on Friday, but it's fitting as it was one of the sweatier slate of games that we've had recently. All four of LG, SK, Kia, and Kiwoom's bullpens were very shaky in the later half of their games but they held tough and got us […]

49ers Sign Brandon Aiyuk, Javon Kinlaw

The San Francisco 49ers signed first-rounders, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw, to four-year rookie deals on Friday. Aiyuk went with the 25th overall pick out of Arizona State, while Kinlaw was the 14th overall pick from South Carolina. Aiyuk, 22, is known as a yards-after-the-catch monster and should fit in nicely […]

Adam Gase Wants Jamal Adams To Stick Around

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase was asked if he wanted All-Pro safety Jamal Adams on the team in 2020. "Yes, I want Jamal on our team," Gase said. Adams has been in an ongoing contract dispute with the team and requested a trade last week. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams made similar comments on […]

Indians Have Handful Of Positive COVID-19 Cases

The Cleveland Indians have had a handful of positive COVID-19 cases from players at home, in the Dominican Republic and in Arizona. "All of those cases have been isolated. There has not been any spread within our environment," according to president Chris Antonetti. The affected players are either recovered or are showing only mild symptoms. […]

Panthers Like Teddy Bridgewater's Ability To Go Deep

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater wasn't asked to go deep often in the Saints offense that focused more on yards after the catch, but head coach Matt Rhule thinks Bridgewater "is exactly what we want." His 6.2 intended air yards per pass attempt last year is right in line with Drew Brees' 6.4 intended air […]

Max Meyer Likely To Be Included In 60-Player Pool

Miami Marlins first-round pick Max Meyer, a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher from the University of Minnesota, is likely to be included in the 60-player pool this season. The Marlins and Meyer have already verbally agreed to a contract, but of course the actual signing isn't official until "the ink dries." Still, Meyer is fully expected to […]

DeVante Parker Excels On Contested Catches

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker had the second-most receiving yards last year on contested catches (400), behind only Kenny Golladay, according to Pro Football Focus. Parker's ability to make catches with defenders draped all over him helped him to a breakout season in 2019. He finished with career highs across the board in receptions […]

Gary Jennings Learning The Slot, Boundary Positions

Miami Dolphins second-year wide receiver Gary Jennings is learning the slot, where he had success at West Virginia, and the boundary receiver positions. If Jennings makes the team, he could be used to create mismatches on smaller, slower players. He was drafted by the Seahawks in the fourth round last year and claimed off waivers […]

Darnell Mooney's Explosiveness Has Coaches Excited

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Darnell Mooney has not been able to work out with the coaching staff this offseason, but that hasn't curtailed receivers coach Mike Furrey's excitement about the rookie. “He’s going to probably be one of the most explosive guys that we have in our room in regard to matching his speed […]

Dolphins Offensive Line In Transition

Miami Dolphins right tackle Jesse Davis could be the only 2019 starter assured of a starting job in 2020. Offensive line coach Steve Marshall is the team's third offensive line coach in the last 11 months. Miami is still determining whether second-rounder Robert Hunt is better suited to play guard or tackle as a rookie. […]

Allen Robinson II's Leadership Making An Impact

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II continues to show his leadership skills during this unprecedented offseason. Robinson has been very vocal during the team's Zoom meetings, according to Bears receivers coach Mike Furrey, and has been getting on players to stay focused. Furrey told reporters that Robinson is “one of the most professional players […]

Reds Sign First-Rounder Austin Hendrick

The Cincinnati Reds signed 2020 first-round draft pick Austin Hendrick to a $4 million contract on Friday. Hendrick was widely regarded as one of the top high school outfielders in the draft, prompting the Reds to use the No. 12 overall pick on the Mississippi State recruit. The lefty has plenty of power and is […]

Anthony Miller Hoping To Improve Preparation

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller is working with the team's coaching staff to improve his preparation before games. Miller got off to a slow start in 2019 after offseason shoulder surgery, producing only four receptions through his first four games. But the third-year receiver ended strong, finishing up the season with 52 catches for […]

Jake Lamb Should Have Inside Track At DH

Arizona Diamondbacks corner infielder Jake Lamb should have the inside track as the primary designated hitter this year with the universal DH in play in both leagues. However, injuries and inconsistency (75 OPS+) the last two years have left him with plenty to prove. Lamb has a weak .594 OPS against lefties, too. But if […]

Bears Coaches Have High Hopes For Riley Ridley

Chicago Bears wide receiver Riley Ridley has plenty to prove after a non-descript rookie season in 2019. But receivers coach Mike Furrey has high hopes for the second-year wideout, telling reporters, "I think the biggest growth were going to see with anybody in our room is going to be Ridley." Ridley, whose brother Calvin plays […]
