Joey Gallo Out Of Lineup On Friday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Gallo has a sore wrist that he was able to play through on Thursday. It certainly doesn't sound like anything major for Gallo, who is slashing .250/.362/.550 with three home runs and eight RBI on […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/7/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Friday's games look to feature only a few big-ticket priced pitchers. The matchups for those several arms aren't quite as weak you would like, however.

MLB Betting Picks (8/6/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We got back to the win column Wednesday. Boston led the entire game and never looked back, while Hyun-Jin Ryu and Sean Newcomb went toe-to-toe through five innings and the bullpens held it down from there. The Twins were silenced by Trevor Williams, but once he left the game the Pittsburgh bullpen gave up four […]

We have yet to play two full weeks of the Major League Baseball season but we’ve already witnessed a great many things in 2020 — some good, some not so good. But, on the plus side, this crazy season — and its 30-man rosters — has afforded quite a few opportunities to MLB rookies, especially […]

Mike Minor Looks To Bounce Back Against Oakland

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor will look to get his season back on track against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday night. Minor is looking to put his last start behind him after giving up six runs in 5 2/3 innings to the San Francisco Giants. Minor had a 200 inning-200 strikeout season in 2019 […]

Shin-Soo Choo Goes Deep In Oakland

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo collected his third home run of the season on Wednesday night. Choo smacked the first pitch of the game out of the park off A's starter Sean Manaea. The veteran lefty now has the strange season line of four hits and three home runs. So despite a .167 batting average, […]

Kyle Gibson Strikes Out Nine

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson made his second start of the season on Wednesday night and was unfortunate not to grab his first win in a Rangers uniform. Gibson pitched six innings giving up four hits, three earned runs, two home runs, and two walks while striking out nine Oakland A's. He left the […]

Joey Gallo Wears The Golden Sombrero Against The A's

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo had the unfortunate honor of a golden sombrero against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday evening.

Rougned Odor May Hit The Injured List

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor (oblique) could be facing a stint on the injured list. Manager Chris Woodward said that with the rosters being cut down from 30 to 28 in the coming days, Odor will be placed on the IL if he doesn't show improvement. He tried to test it on Tuesday, but […]

Rafael Montero Close To Returning

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Rafael Montero (elbow) threw an inning on Wednesday and the Rangers alternative site. Montero has been sidelined with elbow tendinitis, but appears to be on track to join the club at some point this weekend. With the Rangers losing Jose Leclerc (shoulder), Montero could find himself in the closer role. Montero […]

Ariel Jurado Acquired By Mets, Joins Alternate Camp

Right-handed pitcher Ariel Jurado was a primetime prospect coming up through the Rangers’ organization, but after two lackluster big league seasons, the 24-year-old was designated for assignment, whereby the Mets claimed him Wednesday. Despite having 44 appearances (26 starts) to his resume, Jurado was reassigned to the team’s alternate training site. Not much jumps off […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/5/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things started off on the right foot with Tampa Bay exploding in the middle innings to eventually win 5-1. Then we saw a pitchers duel with Chicago(AL)/Milwaukee but the Brewers made some errors that eventually cost them the game. Then Texas had a 1-0 lead into the eighth before the bullpen imploded, giving up a […]

Lance Lynn's Scoreless Streak Comes To An End

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Lance Lynn finally gave up a run on Tuesday night versus the Oakland Athletics in a 5-1 loss. His streak of 18 and 1/3 innings pitched was the longest scoreless streak to begin a season for Texas since 1980. The streak came to an end thanks to a Matt Chapman home […]

Rougned Odor Remains Sidelined

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor (oblique) will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday. Odor left Saturday’s game with tightness in his oblique and hasn’t picked up a bat since. The Rangers will continue to deploy second baseman Nick Solak and he will bat second versus the Oakland Athletics. Solak is hitting just .217 […]

Rangers Rest Slumping Hitters Shin-Soo Choo And Willie Calhoun

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and designated hitter Willie Calhoun will rest on Tuesday versus the Oakland Athletics. Choo has really been in a slump with just three hits over his first 20 at-bats. Calhoun has also been stuck in a rut and only has one hit in 18 at-bats. Choo will be replaced by […]

Lance Lynn Faces Toughest Test Of Season

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Lance Lynn has had a spotless start to the 2020 season. Through two starts, the righty has pitched 12 innings with 17 strikeouts, a 0.75 WHIP, and a perfect 0.00 ERA. Tonight, he will face an Oakland team that just plated 11 runs against the Seattle Mariners and boasts one of […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/4/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We opened the second full week yesterday and it's still hard get a true grip on how games are rolling. Pitchers' leashes are shorter than ever, while some guys are dropping like flies, and it's not necessarily always COVID related. For the most part, hitters have remained at a big advantage and the teams we […]
