MLB Betting Picks for Sunday 8/8 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Today we have 15 games going on in Major League Baseball.  It can be tempting to place a lot of bets, however, I try to limit my action to no more than four to five wagers in a day. Often it is more like two or three. I find it better to place a few […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 19 Waiver Wire

Well, that was a wild trade deadline, wasn't it? Some teams that needed to do a lot didn't do much. Some teams that didn't need to do much did the most.

Hitter & Pitcher Splits Worth Exploring

We talk a lot in fantasy baseball about splits data, and for good reason.
