MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/30/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

In recent articles, the focus has shifted to lesser-known players, those that might offer some value because they aren’t household names. Sometimes it’s rookies, like pitchers Tyler Beede, Joe Musgrove, Taylor Clarke or Griffin Canning, all of whom are on the mound Tuesday. There’s also Julio Urias, the Dodgers lefty who has spent most of […]

Chris Sale Struggles Against Yankees

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale allowed six runs over 5 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Yankees. Sale scattered five hits, while striking out seven and walking three, but serving up two home runs early haunted the southpaw. He was just a bit off in his 22nd start, as only 56 of […]

The Cut List (Week 18) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome to the last Cut List before the July 31 trade deadline. Emphasis on dead, because there has still been little action on the trade front. The next week should be pretty fun if things heat up. For now, however, players are on the team they're on, and judgments should be made accordingly. Stats are […]

Shortest Home Run of Season Now Belongs to Andrew Benintendi

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi hit the shortest home run of the 2019 MLB season, barely hooking a flyball around Pensky Pole, for a 310-foot "bomb". After hitting a slider from Yankee's starter CC Sabathia, Benintendi's blast was originally called a ground-rule double, with everyone naturally assuming that a home run couldn't be so […]

Mitch Moreland Sits Out Versus Lefty

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Moreland recently returned from the injured list, so luckily this isn't injury related. It's just a routine day off for Moreland against the left-handed starter. Sam Travis will cover first base and bat […]

Mookie Betts Slugs Three Home Runs

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts went 4-for-5 and hit three home runs, while driving in five runs in Friday's win over the Yankees.

Andrew Cashner Delivers First Quality Start For Boston

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Andrew Cashner went 6 2/3 innings, while allowing three runs on 10 hits to go with six strikeouts and one walk in Friday's win over the Yankees. The 32-year-old had gotten rocked in his first two starts since becoming a member of the Red Sox, so it was good to […]

Michael Chavis Doubles Twice Off The Bench

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis doubled twice and drove in two runs in Thursday's win. Chavis didn't start the game due to a lingering back issue, but Brock Holt was ejected for arguing balls and strikes so Chavis entered the game in the fourth inning. The rookie is due to lose some playing time […]

Boston Red Sox Rafael Devers hit a solo home run and a double that accounted for both of his runs batted in during a 19-3 win over the Yankees on Thursday. The home run was his ninth in July and 21st overall, while his 31 doubles places him second on the team. The breakout season […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 17 Waiver Wire

Rick Porcello Solid In Blowout Win

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello went six innings, while allowing three runs on six hits to go with five strikeouts and one walk in Thursday's 19-3 win over the Yankees.

Michael Chavis Remains Sidelined Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Chavis hasn't been in the starting lineup since Saturday. He's been dealing with lingering back issues, but was off to a horrendous start to the second half anyway. Mitch Moreland is back from the […]
