Last year, Judge put up the best season that we have seen from a position player since the steroid era came to an end. As a result, he led baseball in nearly every offensive category, but Alvarez was right behind him. The expected stats show that Alvarez is as capable as anyone of capturing the Triple Crown. With an uncanny feel for contact…

Fourteen games are on today's MLB slate and we are treated to a Patrick Corbin start in which we can happily fade. Among other players in our favorite MLB player prop picks are Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara and Texas shortstop Corey Seager.

The Los Angeles Angels will conclude their three-game series with the Oakland Athletics. We're at the Coliseum sharing our MLB odds series, making an Angels-Athletics prediction and pick while showing you how to watch. On Saturday, the Angels destroyed the Athletics 13-1. Ultimately, an 11-run inning helped elevate the Angels to victory. Let's go…

2022 record: 73-89, third in American League West Offseason headlines: The Angels gave skipper Phil Nevin a one-year contract after compiling a 46-60 record on an interim basis after the June firing of Joe Maddon. "The guys in the clubhouse trust and rely on him," slugger Mike Trout said. Added two-way star Shohei Ohtani: "Players were with him and…

The top prospect in the Los Angeles Angels system is Logan O'Hoppe. He's considered the catcher of the future, and for good reason. It's very possible he makes the Opening Day roster, and if he performs, it'll be hard not to get very excited about him and his future. The third-ranked prospect in the Angels system, after O'Hoppe and Zach Neto, on…

All good teams are built on a foundation of blue-chip talent. The great ones usually benefit from some pleasant surprises. We saw that with the Astros (Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier, etc.). We've seen it with the Dodgers (Justin Turner, Max Muncy, etc). We saw it with the last Phillies team that won a World Series (Jayson Werth, Shane Victorino,…

E-A-G- ... wait, what? Pitchers and catchers report next week? True. Once the Eagles and Chiefs settle Super Bowl LVII, mitts will begin poppin' across Florida and Arizona. Until then, LVII Phillies /baseball notes: I. Bryce Harper is in the strengthening phase of rehabbing from elbow surgery 11 weeks ago. He's targeting mid-March to swing a bat.…

The Los Angeles Angels are reportedly interested in signing catcher Gary Sanchez. With the Angels catching situation being a little up in the air, I can understand why they'd do this. A Sanchez signing means Logan O'Hoppe begins the season in AAA which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how ready he actually is. While this is…

MLB.com writer Will Leitch used his crystal ball to predict the next ten World Series champions. It's a very strange list comprised of ten different World Series winners. It's a list that could bring some laughs and tears of joy to Los Angeles Angels fans. In 2023 he has the Dodgers somehow winning the World Series defeating the Blue Jays. The same…

It isn't a secret. Not after more than three decades of building major-league rosters. When it comes to pitching, Dave Dombrowski has a type. "I've always believed in power arms," he said two years ago after getting hired to head up the Phillies' baseball operations. "That's something I grew up with in the White Sox organization. We had a lot of…

Noah Syndergaard makes his Philadelphia debut when Washington comes to town. With Washington in full tank mode, will Philly be able to cover the run line? Find out in our MLB betting picks and predictions for Nationals vs. Phillies. The Philadelphia Phillies will get to see their newest teammate as former Los Angeles Angels right-hander Noah…

It is decreed in the ancient scrolls. Despite employing two of the greatest ballplayers in history, the Angels cannot finish higher than.500. It's an immutable law of baseball physics that cannot be bent or broken, but that won't stop the club from trying. Early in the offseason, they've been the most active MLB team, signing Tyler Anderson and…

On March 31, 2019, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Elvis Luciano became the first player born in the 2000s to reach the big leagues. In the years since, a wave of talented young players who weren't even born when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were chasing down Roger Maris during the 1998 season has descended on Major League Baseball. 2022 Rookie of…

If the Phillies ever decided to hold an organizational skills competition in spring training, center field prospect Johan Rojas would be a solid bet to win any contests related to sprinting or outfield defense. When it came time, then, to make room for him on the 40-man roster, it was an easy decision. The Phillies met Tuesday's deadline to protect…

Well, last night didn't go to plan. The Philadelphia Phillies were spanked by Strider and the Braves in a 13-1 loss. The Braves now have a 63-41 record, while the trailing Phils have sit at 55-48. Splitting this two-game series would be optimal if they are to somehow surpass Atlanta in the standings, but the focus at this point surely has to be the…

ANAHEIM - When the MLB trade deadline passed and Shohei Ohtani remained in the Angels' clubhouse, it signaled that the club has no intention of rebuilding in 2023. And one of the moves they did make - trading closer Raisel Iglesias and the $51 million remaining on his contract - left no doubt that they are creating space to reload for another run…

LOS ANGELES - Logan O'Hoppe, a 23rd-round draft pick out of West Islip and a star at St. John the Baptist, was a few hours away from the first pitch of Saturday's Futures Game when he summed up the situation perfectly. "It's been a dream come true so far," O'Hoppe said. Based on the year he's had, both on and off the field, O'Hoppe probably feels…

ST. LOUIS - Logan O'Hoppe keeps a journal in which he makes notes about pitchers and jots thoughts and observations. He isn't alone. Other players in the Phillies' farm system do it, too. It isn't mandatory, but it's become a fairly common practice. The other day, O'Hoppe was writing about how he feels when he's hitting well, like the four games in…

The Los Angeles Angels optioned OF Joe Adell to Triple-A and recalled INF Jose Rojas on Tuesday. Adell was once considered a top prospect for the Angels but struggled in his initial debut in 2020. After minimal playing time in 2021, the Angels expected Adell to breakout this season. But the 23-year old has posted a very underwhelming.231/.242/.431…

NEW YORK - For weeks, the Philadelphia Phillies essentially played a man short. They had acquired infielder Rodolfo Castro in a small deadline-day trade because they liked his potential against lefty pitchers. They saw upside. But Castro batted once in 24 days this month. He stayed around only because the front office wanted to preserve the right…
