The Winnipeg Jets were outshot 38-25 but managed to hold on for a 4-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night. Kyle Connor led the offense by hitting the back of the net twice. He now has eight goals in the past seven games to give him a total of 38 for the season. […]

Evander Kane, Timo Meier Combine For Four Points

San Jose Sharks winger Evander Kane and Timo Meier took care of all the offense in the team's 6-2 loss to Chicago on Wednesday. Kane opened the scoring on a power play with Meier and Joe Thornton setting him up, and Meier then scored himself in the third with Kane providing the only assist. Kane […]

Alex DeBrincat Hands Out Three Dimes Wednesday Night

Chicago Blackhawks right wing Alex DeBrincat played a big part in Wednesday's 6-2 win over San Jose, handing out three dimes. He had two power-play assists in what's his third three-point performance of the season. Patrick Kane scored twice and had 11 shots in total, while Alex Nylander, Jonathan Toews, and Duncan Keith also put […]

Who doesn't love a good set of bold predictions? There's nothing like some biased analysis to persuade you to target or avoid the players that are featured in this specific article series. While I will present some factual data, I must admit my personal rooting interest has had some influence on a few of these […]

Late-Round Catchers - Targets and Avoids in 2020

Once you reach the middle-to-late rounds of drafts, it would be smart to consider drafting some upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can take a risk or two on a variety of different players, including a prospect, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even players with skills but have […]

Yahoo ADP Comparison - Overpriced / Underpriced Players

Average Draft Position (ADP) is a must-have piece of information when it comes to drafting. While every league is different and may have a particularly aggressive or conservative group of owners when it comes to certain players, it’s the best tool we have when analyzing players’ value. Now, instead of just talking about total ADP […]

Cody Allen Gives Up Two Runs On Wednesday

Texas Rangers reliever Cody Allen gave up two runs and two hits in one inning of relief on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. He has an 11.25 ERA through four innings this spring, and it's not what Allen or the Rangers were hoping for when they invited him to camp. The nine-year veteran battled […]

Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija To Start First Games Of Season

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler announced Wednesday that Johnny Cueto will be the team's Opening Day starter, with Jeff Samardzija slated to pitch the second game of the season. This will be Cueto's fifth Opening Day start. The veterans will look to lead a thin Giants starting rotation this season. Both have been higher-end […]

Adam Scott Has A Storied Past At TPC Sawgrass

The change from May to March didn't do much towards Adam Scott's results at TPC Sawgrass, as the Aussie provided his fourth consecutive top-12 finish at the event. The ninth-ranked player in the world does the brunt of his work through his stellar mid-iron play, but his distance off the tee shouldn't be discounted at […]

Bryson DeChambeau Is Trending Towards High Ownership

When pricing gets released earlier than it typically does for most events, it can cause massive disparities in what we receive and what is justified. That appears to be the case this weekend for Bryson DeChambeau, who is currently fourth in the betting market but just 10th for DraftKings pricing. We live in a day […]

Xander Schauffele Arrives To Players With Something To Prove

There is no arguing that Xander Schauffele doesn't look quite as crisp as we became accustomed to seeing in 2019, but when did four straight top-24 finishes and a second-place showing at the Tournament of Champions become less than ideal? A venue such as TPC Sawgrass requires golfers to provide a complete game to find […]

Yadier Molina Working on a Contract Extension

The St. Louis Cardinals and catcher Yadier Molina are reportedly working on a contract extension. The lifelong Cardinal is looking for a deal that would keep him signed through the 2022 season. Molina has declined offensively, but he's still solid with the bat in a very limited offensive position, and pitchers love throwing to the […]

Bam Adebayo Notches Second Straight Double-Double

Miami Heat power forward Bam Adebayo finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists in 34 minutes of play during the 109-98 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday. The 22-year-old continued his stellar play with his third double-double in the past five games. The 2017 pick averages 16.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game, […]

Derrick Jones Explodes For 23 Points

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones accumulated 23 points, two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes of play during the 109-98 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday. The third-year player averages 8.6 points per game this season, and the point explosion was rather rare. The 23-year-old has only scored in double digits […]

Brooks Koepka Gets Chance To Prove Doubters Wrong

It has been a slow start to 2020 for Brooks Koepka, who was forced to have surgery on his left knee after playing through the injury for most of 2019. Koepka did show some signs of life at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, carding the third-best round of the day on Sunday, but a volatile 81 […]

Kendrick Nunn Paces Team With 24 Points

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn racked up 24 points, two rebounds, and three assists in 31 minutes of play during the 109-98 loss to the Hornets on Wednesday. He also went 6-for-10 from deep. The rookie has had a decent first campaign this season, averaging 15.5 points per game, albeit being streaky in his point […]

Jeff Mathis Injured, Jesse Chavez To Miss Opening Day

There's a chance that Texas Rangers catcher Jeff Mathis (hamstring) won't be ready for Opening Day, alongside relief pitcher Jesse Chavez (elbow, shoulder). Mathis, 36, pulled his left hamstring in the game on Tuesday and was sent for an MRI exam. With Jose Trevino (finger) sidelined with a hairline fracture on his right index finger, it […]

Lourdes Gurriel Doubles Twice On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel upped his spring batting average to .360 on Wednesday, going 2-for-2 versus the Orioles. Both hits went for doubles as he collected three runs and a pair of RBI, but he's still in search of his first long ball. Gurriel will bat third for the Jays this season, which is […]

Caleb Martin Goes For 19 Points

Charlotte Hornets forward Caleb Martin finished with 19 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and four steals in 35 minutes during the 109-98 win over the Heat on Wednesday. The Nevada product built on a 23-point performance from the last game and racked up his two highest point totals of the season in these past two […]

Chance Sisco Dealing With Sore Hand

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (hand) hasn't been in the Grapefruit League lineup because of a sore right hand that he suffered when taking a foul ball off of it. However, Sisco took some swings in a simulated game on Wednesday, so the injury doesn't look too serious. The 25-year-old is expected to form a […]

Randal Grichuk Slugs Two Long Balls

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk cranked a pair of long balls in Wednesday's 14-2 Grapefruit League thumping of the Orioles. He finished the afternoon going 3-for-3 with three runs and five RBI as he's now batting a crisp .320 this spring with three homers. Grichuk will serve as the everyday center fielder for the […]

Devonte' Graham Scores 30 Points

Charlotte Hornets point guard Devonte' Graham compiled 30 points, one rebound, six assists, and one steal in 37 minutes during the 109-98 win over the Heat on Wednesday. The 25-year-old also went 8-for-11 from downtown. The Kansas product has now scored at least 23 points in the last four games, and is tied with Terry […]

Alex Cobb Won't Start Thursday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) will not make his spring start on Thursday because of a small blister on his pitching hand. It always seems to be something with Cobb, who made just three starts due to back issues in 2019. Even if Cobb is healthy and in Baltimore's starting rotation in 2020, […]

Adam Eaton Returns Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (hamstring) returned to Grapefruit League play on Wednesday as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout against the Astros. If Eaton can avoid any setbacks with his hamstring, he should be fine for Opening Day. Trea Turner is expected to lead off in 2020, with Eaton hitting second. […]

Taylor Trammell Reassigned To Minors

San Diego Padres outfield prospect Taylor Trammell was reassigned to minor league camp on Wednesday. A long shot to make the roster, the Friars No. 5 prospect was smoking during spring training, posting a 1.049 OPS with four extra-base hits in 25 plate appearances. Acquired from the Cincinnati Reds midway through last season, Trammell will open […]

Shohei Ohtani Likely To Pitch On Wednesdays

The Los Angeles Angels have a plan for which days to pitch starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow) when he returns sometime in May. Manager Joe Maddon wouldn't say which day they are targeting, but he said that Wednesday "is a lot of common sense." The Angels will have four Thursday off days in May and […]

Adrian Morejon Sent Packing

San Diego Padres pitcher Adrian Morejon was optioned to minor league camp on Wednesday. The move isn’t entirely surprising after the 21-year-old had allowed 10 earned runs in just 2 1/3 innings this spring (38.57 ERA). The Friars No. 6 prospect endured a brief MLB debut in 2019, scuffling to a 10.13 ERA in eight […]

Freddie Freeman Scheduled To Return Friday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, who has been away from the team on a family matter, is scheduled to return to the Grapefruit League lineup on Friday, according to manager Brian Snitker. Freeman has missed some time this spring due to elbow issues as well, but it isn't expected to be anything serious and […]

Colten Brewer Being Stretched Out

Boston Red Sox pitcher Colten Brewer is being stretched out in camp to potentially fill an opener role. The 27-year-old tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Tuesday and allowed only one hit while striking out three. Manager Ron Roenicke said that Brewer could "be a big piece of that" if the team […]
