MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/5/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are 26 starting pitchers today and it looks like, give or take a few, there could be about four – Jacob de Grom, Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and Clayton Kershaw – that look like good bets to suppress the offense from the other side. Otherwise, it looks there should be opportunities for the hitters […]

Bryse Wilson Sent Back To Triple-A

On Thursday, the Atlanta Braves sent pitcher Bryse Wilson back to Triple-A Gwinnett and called up fellow pitcher Grant Dayton. While the move may seem surprising on the surface, following Wilson's strong outing against the Phillies on Wednesday, it certainly makes sense personnel-wise for the team's current situation.

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/3/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As much as I have touted overs on pitcher strikeouts, with some justification, it’s not something to accept blindly. Sometimes the number is just too big to bank on for that day, or maybe it’s a pitcher who doesn’t – even in this environment – pick up a lot of Ks. With a full slate […]
