MLB Betting Picks (7/29/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

The Cubs got us off to a good start Tuesday by taking care of business against the Reds, mainly thanks to Javier Baez's two homers. Meanwhile, The Twins gave us a nice scare after plating five in the second, but only four more runs were scored the rest of the way. In Los Angeles, things […]

Exit Velocity Hitter Studs and Duds Heading Into 2020

Welcome to this year's first iteration of Statcast Hitter Analysis. Each week, I will select a different metric to evaluate unexpected names at the top and bottom of the Statcast Leaderboards. Even if you aren't well-versed in Statcast, you know exit velocity. Even the crustiest of old-school baseball announcers have incorporated this term in his […]

Looking at Rookie Performances - Opening Weekend 2020

As we wait oh-so-impatiently for star Angels prospect Jo Adell to get the call and delay our anticipation for top Blue Jays pitching prospect Nate Pearson, there are still plenty of noteworthy rookie performances to examine from this past weekend's action. We're going to take a look at the most notable performers and look at […]

Red Alert: Luis Robert's 115.8 MPH Smash Means Something

In the hullabaloo of MLB’s opening weekend, you may not have noticed that Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox — he of the .337 ISO at Triple-A Charlotte — announced his presence with authority on Friday night. In the second inning of his MLB debut, Robert strode to the plate, stood 60 feet and six inches […]

Stephen Strasburg Throws Lightly Monday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (hand) threw "very lightly" on Monday, according to manager Dave Martinez. Strasburg is feeling less of a tingling feeling in his thumb after being scratched from his first start of the season on Saturday, but the Nationals haven't determined a timeline for his return. It's a disappointing start to […]

Juan Soto Has One Negative Test

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto has received one negative test for COVID-19 after being put on the injured list last Thursday. There's no minimum stay on the COVID-19 injured list, but he'll need another negative test within 24 hours to return to play. Manager Dave Martinez said that Soto is feeling fine and trying to […]

Nationals Sign Josh Harrison

The Washington Nationals signed second baseman Josh Harrison to a one-year deal on Monday after he was recently released by the Phillies. Catcher Raudy Read was optioned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move. Harrison spent the first eight years of his career with Pittsburgh, earning an All-Star selection in 2014. He played […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

Entering week two and coming off a short week, give us a small sample to work with. This week, I will lean heavily on match-ups and potential for at-bats via lineup placement. There will be a few repeat names on this list due to the rostered percentage not rising and performance warranting an add. Before […]

MLB Betting Picks (7/27/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Early exits for Shohei Ohtani and Corey Kluber put us behind the eight ball to start, and we ended up negative again on Sunday. Tough! But that's the life of sports handicapping. I'm going to try and keep things rather short today, because there is serious concern that the season gets suspended […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]

Stephen Strasburg Scratched Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will not be making his first start of the season Saturday, pulled because of a nerve issue in his pitching hand. If you were using him in DFS against the Yankees for some reason, pull him now. If he's on a standard fantasy roster he must stay there for […]

Champ or Chump: Nate Pearson

The MLB season is finally underway, and a lot of what fantasy owners "knew" before the first pitch has already fallen apart. Juan Soto has tested positive for COVID-19, leaving both the Nationals and a lot of fantasy rosters without a superstar talent for the foreseeable future. Clayton Kershaw was scratched from his Opening Day […]

Prospects To Cut Loose In Dynasty Leagues

The dynasty format requires an owner to consider both the immediate and future implications of draft picks, trades, and waiver wire moves. Viewing roster decisions through two lenses, both present and long-term future makes fantasy baseball much more strategic and, unfortunately, much less forgiving. Any wrong move lives with you for years and makes you […]

Austin Voth To Serve As Nationals No. 5 Starter

Washington Nationals right-hander Austin Voth has made the club’s starting rotation, according to manager Dave Martinez. Voth was in competition alongside Erick Fedde and others in Summer Camp, but after posting a 3.30 ERA in nine appearances (eight starts) last season, Voth will get a chance to work out of the rotation from the jump […]
