Franmil Reyes Is a League-Winner Hidden In Plain Sight

The San Diego Padres signed Franmil Reyes to their organization all the way back in November of 2011. It took the Padres almost eight years and a season-and-a-half of playing time to move on from him, as they opted to include him in the Trevor Bauer/Yasiel Puig/Taylor Trammell three-team trade that included the Indians and […]

Giancarlo Stanton Gets Day Off Saturday

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will have the day off on Saturday, sitting out the matchup with the Detroit Tigers.

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/1 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

A profitable day last week with our two top picks both banking, but the Twins failed to win and help us bag a hat-trick too. News broke earlier this week that the Twins had only been able to take pre-game batting practice three times all season due to Covid issues. And it's no coincidence they […]

Aaron Judge Goes Yard Twice

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a grand slam in Friday's blowout win over Detroit.

This report comes after the 27-year-old continues to work his way back from Tommy John Surgery back in February of 2020.

Aaron Judge Back In The Lineup Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) is back in the lineup for Friday's game, as expected. Judge sat out the previous two games with lower-body soreness, though manager Aaron Boone had indicated that the slugger would be available for all three games against the Tigers.

Early Plate Discipline Improvers

Early season data is never very reliable. When you are still in the first month of the season, one game can have a big impact on a player's stat line in most categories. That makes it somewhat foolish to look at the data until you at least get a month or so of games out […]
