Tom Kim Is Ready For The Rocket Mortgage Classic

Just by watching Tom Kim's ball-striking these last two weeks, it's clear he's close to winning form. The 21-year-old finished 38th at The Travelers Championship one week after his eighth-place finish at the U.S. Open, and while each performance had their respective hiccups, it's encouraging to see that Kim gained a combined 12.8 strokes on […]

Freddie Freeman’s Mediocre June Continues

Fantasy managers have become accustomed to multi-hit games and a .900 OPS from Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, and he did just that and more in April and May. However, the month of June has been a slow one thus far for the three-time Silver Slugger. Freeman has multiple hits in just three of […]

I know I've started to notice much wider gaps in Vegas money lines, and while it can […]
