Juan Soto Hitless For Third Straight Game

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto has been in the midst of a cold stretch at the plate. He's gone 0-for-9 over his last three games, though he's at least managed to draw four walks over that three-game stretch.

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday, allowing one hit and one run to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a scoreless inning of work to preserve a 1-0 victory.

Hitter Advanced Metrics Risers and Fallers - xBA for Week 7

Last week, we dove into xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average) to see who is really maximizing their time at the plate. It's time we look at xBA (expected batting average) but with a twist.

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 7

Major League Baseball has to be the only sport where the ball not only gets altered constantly, but also with zero transparency. We saw offense start to pick up last week, but, then again, that also coincided with a run of not as great pitching talent, so it is hard to say with conviction that […]
