MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 4/10 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

My first Saturday deputizing for Steve went so-so with one winner from three. Chris Flexen looked like the KBO version of himself rather than his old MLB version and the Brewers were on the losers in the best pitching dual of the season so far between Corbin Burnes and Jose Berrios. That's why we're treading […]

Ehire Adrianza Activated From Restricted List

Atlanta Braves shortstop Ehire Adrianza has been activated from the restricted list. He has gone through the league's COVID-19 intake protocols and is set to rejoin the club. Infielder Johan Camargo was optioned to the team's alternate site at Gwinnett in a corresponding move. The 31-year-old Adrianza came over to Atlanta this offseason after spending […]

We're now one week into the Major League Baseball season and beginning to see some trends start to emerge. The Reds offense appears to have woken up, the Athletics may still be asleep, and the Brewers still love to strike out. The new baseball has led to max exit velocity going up, but the ball […]

Pablo Sandoval Comes Up Big Wednesday

Atlanta Braves corner infielder Pablo Sandoval hit a two-out, two-run home run in the 2-0 win over the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday in what proved to be the game-winner. Sandoval was pinch-hitting for rookie catcher Alex Jackson. Sandoval also had a game-tying, two-run, pinch-hit home run in the extra-inning […]

Huascar Ynoa Leads Braves To Victory In Game 2

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa struck out five and gave up just two hits in a career-high five scoreless innings to help beat the Washington Nationals in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Unfortunately he was given a no-decision. The 22-year-old made only five starts in 2020, but he hadn't thrown more than […]

Mike Soroka To Be Shut Down Two Weeks

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (Achilles, shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for two weeks, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Soroka exited his simulated game appearance after one inning on Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation. It's another setback for Soroka, who is trying to work his way back from a torn […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Stays Hot In First Game Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. helped his team to their first victory of the season in a 7-6 win over the Washington Nationals in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Acuna had his sixth career multi-homer game on Tuesday in the season opener and has gone 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits in the […]

Tyler Matzek Finally Delivering On Potential?

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Tyler Matzek, a first-round pick way back in 2009, was out of baseball in 2019 but resurfaced with Atlanta last year and made his first Opening Day roster in six years in 2021. The left-hander pitched twice against the Philadelphia Phillies in the team's opening series, and he touched 100.2 mph […]

Max Fried Leaves Early Wednesday With Injury

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (calf) left his start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals early after he was hit in the right calf by a comebacker in the second inning in the first game of a doubleheader.

Marcell Ozuna Just 2-For-14 With Seven Strikeouts

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna is off to a rough start to the 2021 season. Through four games, he's gone 2-for-14 with two walks and seven strikeouts. He's yet to record a run or an RBI and he doesn't have any extra-base hits. Ozuna can be a bit of a streaky hitter. Fantasy managers shouldn't […]

Freddie Freeman Smacks Solo Shot On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. It was nice to see a pulse at the plate, as Freeman was 0-for-9 during the Braves opening series. Despite the slow start, the 2020 NL MVP remains one of the best hitters in […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Blasts Two Homers On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. Both home runs came against Nationals ace Max Scherzer. Acuna had a quiet series against the Phillies, but it is safe to say the 23-year-old has broken out. Expect Acuna to finish […]

Ozzie Albies Remains Hitless On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies continued his early season struggles on Tuesday, as he finished 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the loss to Washington. Albies has now opened the year 0-for-16 with three strikeouts through his first four games — a stark contrast to his solid Spring Training in which he slashed .262/.354/.500 with […]

Brewers Land Pitchers Chad Sobotka, Patrick Weigel

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-handed pitchers Chad Sobotka and Patrick Weigel from the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Orlando Arcia. Arcia had spent all six of his major league seasons with the Brewers and has a career .244 batting average with 42 home runs, 180 RBI and 39 stolen bases. He figures […]
