Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 6/20/21 (Premium Content)

Willie Calhoun Hitless Saturday

Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun went 0-for-4 against the Minnesota Twins Saturday. Calhoun left stranded two baserunners and struck out once.

John King Could Be Getting A Larger Role

Texas Rangers pitcher John King may be getting promoted. With some of the team's staff struggling, the veteran could be tasked with taking on a more prominent role within the rotation. King pitched three innings on Saturday, and it appears as if skipper Chris Woodward could be building him up for more work moving ahead. […]
