MLB DFS Prop Picks for Monday, August 10th - Monkey Knife Fight

It's hard to believe, but some teams are already a quarter of the way through the MLB season.

Plate Discipline Standouts for 2020

Last year, I unveiled a new weighted index statistic for hitters – mPDI, which mirrors a famous quote by Hall of Fame pitcher, Greg Maddux: “The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they’re taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.” If we consider the inverse […]

Marcell Ozuna Swinging Hot Bat To Start Braves Tenure

Freddie Freeman Blasts Two-Run Shot On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

In fairness, Freeman missed a large portion of summer camp due to COVID-19 complications, […]
