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 (7/2/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We were a Kia walk-off grand slam away from a sweep. The Tigers won the game but our runline suffered because of it. However, NC took care of business early, while KT exploded for 11 runs giving us a winning day. It was one of the more exciting days of the KBO recently. Wednesday, July […]

Angels Sign First-Rounder Reid Detmers

The Los Angeles Angels signed first-rounder Reid Detmers, the 10th overall pick, for $4.67 million on Sunday.

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 […]

Fantasy Value In a 50-Game Season: Starting Pitchers

Having now passed the ides of June, there is still no start date for the 2020 season and no guarantee that we'll even ever get one.
