Three picks, Yu Darvish and Chris Archer are the same, Jacob Waguespack’s first start, and Ariel Jurado’s quiet success.
Joe Kelly’s ERA is now under six.
And since his bobblehead night, that ERA’s only 1.23.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, July 2nd
Three picks for tonight, along with notes on David Price’s solidarity, Alex Verdugo’s capability, and Jack Flaherty’s possibility.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, July 1st
Two picks for tonight, alongside notes on the wildest pair of bullpens in baseball.
What went wrong for the Cubs in June
It was a disappointing month for the Cubs. Here’s what went wrong.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, June 30th
Picks, Joey Gallo’s triumphant return, a poetic Scherzer/Zimmermann matchup, and what’s going on with Paul Goldschmidt.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, June 29th
Picks, and notes on Jon Gray and Jordan Lyles’ respective rebirths.
Joe Kelly dealt with some weird happenings last night.
A wild one in Denver. And I don’t mean Joe Kelly threw a lot of balls.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, June 28th
Lance Lynn’s excellence, why Yasmani Grandal’s the best catcher in the game, Hyun-Jin Ryu’s absurd walk rate, Shohei Ohtani’s improvement, Petco Park’s lonely battle against the scoring uptick, and why the Cubs and Nationals are in better spots than public opinion suggests. Also, as always, picks.
The Orioles are allowing a historic number of runs.
Baltimore is witnessing a level of scoring not seen since the steroid era. Unfortunately, those runs are counting for the opponents.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, June 27th
A big day for picks, along with notes on Josh Bell’s slump, Cody Bellinger’s opposite-of-a-slump, Ketel Marte’s breakout, and whether the A’s might consider trading Marcus Semien.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, June 26th
Two picks, notes on how good Fernando Tatís Jr. has been, and a look at Dallas Keuchel as he takes the mound for the second time this year.
Joe Kelly Keeps Getting Outs
Don’t call it a comeback.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, June 25th
Picks, why Zach Davies is unlikely to keep this up, and how Ross Stripling serves as a wonderful security blanket for the Dodgers.
Tyler Flowers is acting soft.
And that’s hopefully something he will learn as he gets a little bit older.
Rob Lowe is now a Registered Hater.
Guess we might as well wish him well in retirement, because this is certain to bar him from future roles.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, June 24th
Two picks, a look at Brad Keller’s future health, and a celebration of tonight’s Kershaw/Greinke matchup.
Mickey Callaway: One of us.
Who among us…
