Carlos Rodon Is Ready To Contribute

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) threw the equivalent of three innings on Sunday against live hitters. Rodon threw 45 pitches and is now fully recovered from the Tommy John surgery he underwent 14 months ago. The injury bug has been the biggest downfall in his career thus far, but Rodon said he […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/5/20 & 7/6/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The full EPL weekend slate continues through this holiday weekend with four games Sunday and one Monday in something resembling a more recent traditional schedule. The week ahead also sees all twenty teams play across three days so there's still plenty of action to get our teeth into. Each game I'll be giving you the intel […]

Luis Robert Expected To Be Starting Center Fielder

Coming off a 32-homer, 36-steal, 1.001-OPS season in the minors, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is expected to open the year as the team's starting center fielder in his rookie season. Robert is the team's top prospect and comes in at No. 3 overall, per MLB Pipeline. There's massive power/speed potential with the 22-year-old, […]

Michael Kopech Dealing With Personal Matter

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (personal) will be away from the team's camp as he deals with a personal matter. White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that Kopech is healthy, but there is no timetable for his return. Kopech is expected to be with the big league club this season after recovering […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/4/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

Thursday's games saw us bag the Sheffield United v Tottenham pick and despite saying Manchester City would get more corners than Liverpool (denied by a 92nd minute Liverpool corner), they failed to get six for the pick anyway. I did say that Kevin de Bruyne was a good bet to score and I wouldn't be […]

Short-Season Draft Risers and Fallers: RotoBaller Staff Picks

Recently, the RotoBaller MLB staff provided their thoughts on the best draft strategies for a shortened season. You can read that article right here. The fantasy baseball season is ready to kick up (finally) but things won't be the same as usual. Some players may be more appealing now that they've had time to work […]

30 Burning Questions (and Answers) for 2020 Fantasy Baseball

Upon hearing that Major League Baseball was finally set to return to action and the fantasy season was back, a million questions popped in my head. Sadly, I forgot most of them by the next day so I'm left with just 30, coincidentally a nice even number. Actually, my initial plan was to do 60 […]

KBO Betting Picks (7/3/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, Runlines

On Thursday we saw Doosan took care of business early, scoring seven runs on Kiwoom before blowing their late-game lead. KT and LG going under was a disappointment, as the Wiz scattered 15 hits but could only muster four runs. Now we head into the weekend and begin a new set of series some interesting […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/2/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

A new month brought us slightly better fortune with two picks from four and we hope that improves heading into Thursday and beyond. Two Everton corners away from looking like bagging a parlay at +1550 and nearly predicting two correct scores. West Ham burst our balloon managing to pull out a shock 3-2 victory against […]

KBO Betting Picks (7/1/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Samsung got a great start out of Chae-heung Choi to quiet the already weak SK lineup. Meanwhile, Kia got hit with a rain storm that postponed the game, so Wednesday's matchup is almost exactly the same as Tuesday and my writeup on that game below is almost exact because I still like that game a […]

EPL Betting Picks (7/01/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The calendars turn over to a new month and we hope that brings us a bit more luck before I resort to seeking advice from my three-legged dog. Let down again on Monday by a goalkeeping error (for seemingly the umpteenth time already), we head into July with a four-game slate in the English Premier […]

KBO Betting Picks (6/30/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We're back with a new week of KBO action and things have been shifting across the landscape of late. NC is showing some signs of weakness (though they're still at the top), while Kiwoom is finally thrusting themselves into the discussion of best team in the league. Injuries are certainly starting to pile up, so […]

Andrew Vaughn, Nick Madrigal Part Of White Sox Player Pool

Chicago White Sox first base prospect Andrew Vaughn and second base prospect Nick Madrigal are among the 44 players the White Sox have chosen for their 60-man player pool so far. Madrigal was expected to be with the big league club at some point this year and would be worth a look in all formats. […]

EPL Betting Picks (6/29/20 & 6/30/20) - English Premier League Soccer Wagers

The English Premier League is back and we head into a new week on the back of a couple of disappointing days. There's just a single game on Monday and Tuesday before a larger slate Wednesday so we'll try to get a couple of nice wins to kick-off the week.  Each game I'll be giving […]

New Draft Strategies for 2020 MLB: RotoBaller Staff Picks

Baseball is coming back and it's about time! The announcement of a 60-game season comes as a blessing and a curse. It's barely over one-third of a normal MLB season and will come with several modifications to the rule book. Then again, at this point we are just happy to have baseball (or any live […]

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 6/28/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! But I'm wondering if there are less of you here. Rotoballer numbers are growing. But it looks like both FanDuel and DraftKings believes there will be less customers playing KBO DFS tonight. There is a noticeable decline in the number of contests available, the size of those contests, and of course with […]

White Sox Sign Jared Kelley

The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms with second-round pick Jared Kelley. The right-handed pitcher was projected to go in first round and was considered a steal for the White Sox. Kelley can throw the ball hard and was paid close to double his slot value to skip college and start his professional career. […]

The King's Insider Guide To the 60-Game MLB Season

Since the spring, I have been conducting interviews with many notable and well-informed MLB sources on the 2020 season. On the condition of anonymity, current and former players, scouts, executives, media members and others have shared their unfiltered insights, and I have supplied my in-depth fantasy baseball takes on the information they have shared. As […]

Zach Putnam, Matt Skole Among Five Released By White Sox

The Chicago White Sox released relief pitchers Zach Putnam and Caleb Frare, starting pitcher Matt Tomshaw, first baseman Matt Skole and infielder Ramon Torres on Friday. The White Sox are starting to trim their roster to get down to a list of 60 players by Sunday. Putnam missed all of the 2018 and 2019 seasons […]

The English Premier League is back and we continue into the second week of the restarted season with four games in four days from Saturday through to Tuesday. Each game I'll be giving you the intel to find value bets, offering my pick to bet on and predicting the correct score. The FA Cup quarter-finals […]

KBO Betting Picks (6/26/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Doosan helped make Thursday a little brighter, dropping 14 runs on SK. Meanwhile, NC somehow scored two runs in their first at-bat but then proceeded to just score one more run the entire game (in the ninth inning nonetheless). A split is better than going winless, but man I can't help but feel that one […]

White Sox Expect Michael Kopech To Make Impact In 2020

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn met with the media on Thursday and said that he believes starting pitcher Michael Kopech could make a “significant impact” this season. Kopech is still considered one of the top pitching prospects and made his debut in 2018, but underwent Tommy John surgery after just four starts. The […]

KBO Betting Picks (6/25/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Wednesday was a washout in Korea, except the Samsung/Hanwha game. Samsung needed to walkoff to defeat Hanwha 3-2 which means our Samsung runline pick was a loss. I surely wasn't anticipating the Eagles' starter to throw one of the best games of his career. Regardless of what country it's played in, sports, especially baseball, are […]
