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 […]

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 […]

Jason Vargas Looks to Stay Hot Wednesday

New York Mets left-hander Jason Vargas will take the mound on Wednesday in a difficult matchup against the New York Yankees. However, Vargas has been very consistent of late, having surrendered three earned runs or less in 11 straight outings.

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

We've entered the second half of the 2019 season, even though the unofficial demarcation point doesn't come until next week.

J.D. Davis Ignites Mets Comeback Victory

The New York Mets trailed 2-0 for a substantial portion of Tuesday night's game at Citi Field against the New York Yankees. From the second until the eighth they trailed, but in the sixth they got on the board as outfielder J.D. Davis homered to right. In the eighth, the Mets rallied to take the […]

Zack Wheeler Stretched Out In Victory

While he pitched just 6 1/3 innings Tuesday night at Citi Field, New York Mets starter Zack Wheeler threw 116 pitcher, a rare feat in the modern game. The 29-year-old allowed just two runs on five hits, but exited the game trailing as his offense was stymied by the opposing pitcher. Ultimately his offense came […]

Edwin Diaz Earns Save Tuesday

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 18th save of the season. Diaz has now thrown back-to-back scoreless innings with four strikeouts since his five-run meltdown in Philadelphia on June 27. Diaz hasn't been as dominant as last seasons 57 saves with a […]

Zack Wheeler Will Be Challenged Tuesday

New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler will take the bump on Tuesday in a tough matchup against the New York Yankees. The Yankees are scorching hot and coming off an offensive onslaught in London.
