Chicago Cubs: Four left-handed targets to balance the lineup

The Chicago Cubs missed out on Michael Conforto. The left-handed power hitter signed with the San Francisco Giants. Corey Dickerson, who plays left field, is still available. He has a career .281/.324/.481 slash line after ten years in the big leagues. He is a one-time all-star and one of the Gold Glove winners in left. In 26 ABs against southpaws, he only recorded two hits. His career batting average is .286/.316/.427.

2023 Atlanta Braves Season in Review: Kevin Pillar

2023 Atlanta Braves Season in Review: Kevin Pillar

Over the offseason, the Atlanta Braves picked up a few solid free agents to contribute to their 2023 team. Though most of these additions contributed to the pitching staff, Alex Anthopoulos went out and added veteran outfielder Kevin Pillar, who ended up settling into a platoon role. Pillar signed with the Braves as a free agent in January 2023…

MLB Picks Today: Baseball Best Bets, Predictions, Odds on DraftKings Sportsbook

Thanks to the new Systems and Consistency Sheets tabs on the DraftKings Sportsbook Stats Hub, two plays from Wednesday's MLB slate jumped out head and shoulders above the rest. Cristian Javier cooked the Twins in the ALDS, but he's not exactly a model of consistency. Things could easily go sideways for him vs. Texas. If that happens, don't be…

One of those plays we have to take. Both games in this series have gone under the total, and if we know anything about Coors Field, it's only a matter of time before the offenses go ballistic. Jameson Taillon will toe the rubber for Chicago. This will be his second career start at Coors Field, his first since 2018. He's not used to pitching at…

Another loss yesterday. Austin Gomber went down with an injury in the fourth inning, and then the Braves put up 14. I'm not attempting to make an excuse out of it; it's just how the game goes sometimes. It's a spot I would play again, but it's just not falling in our direction. I will keep firing away on spots I like, and we'll see where the chips…

Yesterday was not fun. The final score of the Nationals vs. Tigers game was much worse than it appeared. We got two early bad bounces, a missed strike call followed up by a leadoff home run. We had an inning-ending muffed double play before an additional three-run home run, and it was basically over at that point. The Royals got dominated by…

Took the day off yesterday as I didn't see much value on the board. I'm kicking myself that I didn't play the over in the Meixco series, but hindsight is 20-20. I couldn't bring myself to bet on a baseball game with a total of 15.5, but we live and learn. Today I have three plays, two of which are underdogs and one being a total. I also have a…

Yesterday ripped our hearts out. I'm still sitting here believing I should have been 5-0, but instead, we finish 1-2, down 1.05 units. I loved that Cubs vs. Reds over; it steamed up an entire run from eight to nine. We win the system play if Marcus Seminen doesn't drop that routine grounder. If Terry Francona doesn't get cocky and leave in a…

What will Detroit Tigers’ Opening Day lineup look like? Here’s my best guess

DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers wrapped up spring training over the weekend and are now looking ahead to Opening Day in Tampa Bay. Starting the season against Rays lefty Shane McClanahan is no easy task, especially for an offense that ranked last in MLB in both runs and homers a year ago. But the Tigers are trying to put last season behind them, with…

Yankees’ Estevan Florial vs. Rafael Ortega for 1 outfield spot? It’s a mismatch so far

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Yankees have two weeks to decide what to do with long-time center fielder prospect Estevan Florial. After years of some highs, lows, a lot of injuries and a bunch of short-lived major league opportunities, Florial is out of minor-league options and seemingly in a losing battle for a season-opening roster spot, even with…

The AL Central is expected to be very tight and, according to projections and betting lines, the Twins are projected to finish second or third. For the Twins to make up the ground on Cleveland and Chicago, they'll need to get production on the margins, whether on defense, in the bullpen, or off the bench. Kyle Farmer and Nick Gordon's platoon…

Chicago Cubs: Assessing the left-handed power production

It was a bit of a bummer for some Chicago Cubs fans to hear that free agent outfielder Michael Conforto was heading to the San Francisco Giants on Friday morning. Conforto, while risky with missing last year due to shoulder issues, seemed like an ideal fit to give the Cubs a lefty power bat. As it stands, the Cubs are very heavily right-handed in…

Although pessimism has been brewing in the north for the last couple of weeks, there is still hope the Chicago Cubs can manage to field a competitive product in 2023. Outside of the obvious need for Dansby Swanson, the Cubs still need another bat to insert into the lineup to add an extra jolt to their projected runs per game total. The Cubs have…

Michael Conforto could be steal in free agency

Aaron Judge is the free-agent outfielder every team wants. Then Brandon Nimmo. Then probably Andrew Benintendi. But here's one who's gone under the radar with the buzz surrounding the big names, and who could be a huge steal: Michael Conforto. The risk in signing Conforto is obvious. He just missed an entire season due to a right shoulder injury…
