MLB Betting Picks (8/5/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things started off on the right foot with Tampa Bay exploding in the middle innings to eventually win 5-1.

Statcast Pitcher Studs and Duds - Exit Velocity

It's fair to say we have enough Statcast data now to dig into the numbers and start identifying early risers and fallers. Many starting pitchers have only taken two turns in the rotation, so the safest place to start is with average exit velocity numbers. In future installments, we'll get to barrels, expected stats, and […]

Robbie Ray’s Woes Could Continue Versus Astros

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray has been slow out of the gate in 2020, sporting an 8.64 ERA with nine walks in 8 1/3 IP. The good news is he’s struck out 11, but he’s also surrendered three long balls and hasn’t made it through five innings in a start yet. The Astros are […]

Daulton Varsho To Make First Major League Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Daulton Varsho will join the starting nine for the first time in his Major League career Tuesday when he faces Astros right-hander Cristian Javier.

First Base and Third Base Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

Entering week three, we are entering a ton of unknowns. Which players have COVID-19? Which schedules will be altered? Who is pitching which days?

Christian Walker Aims To Have Upper Hand Of Clayton Kershaw

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker has gotten well-acclimated with Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw over the past few seasons. While Kershaw is on a Hall of Fame trajectory, Walker has been a particularly stubborn bugaboo. The D-backs’ first baseman enters play Sunday batting .323 on the year, but it’s his four career home runs in […]

The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?

Closers and Saves Report - Week 2 Waiver Wire

David Peralta Lifted For Pinch-Hitter Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta has been a stalwart of the club’s lineup since 2015. But in a key situation Thursday against the Dodgers, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo lifted Peralta for Ildemaro Vargas, a move that did not yield the desired results. The decision to pull Peralta’s powerful bat from the lineup comes just days […]

Diamondbacks Calling Up Prospect Daulton Varsho

The Arizona Diamondbacks are calling up their catching prospect Daulton Varsho according to a report. The 24-year-old spent the 2019 season at Double-A, slashing .301/.378/.520 with 18 homers and 21 stolen bases in 108 games. While those numbers are impressive for a backstop, the question is how he'll find some playing time with Carson Kelly […]
