Milwaukee made the playoffs in consecutive years just once before its current run that started with a division title in 2018. The Brewers also won the National League…

One of the biggest things that happened throughout the course of last MLB season was the fact that Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher and former NL Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer was suspended for 324 games, and that was reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator. What does that mean? Well, Bauer is now officially reinstated and can…

The Colorado Rockies have lost five consecutive road series and are one of only five MLB teams with fewer than ten road wins at this point of the season.

We're keeping track of all the latest free agent and trade rumors. The Braves (Dansby Swanson), Dodgers (Trea Turner), Red Sox (Xander Bogaerts) and Twins (Carlos Correa) have all lost star shortstops in free agency this offseason.

One of the best rivalries in all of baseball will be renewed on Thursday night when the San Diego Padres open up a four-game set on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The two teams come into the day separated by only 1.5 games for the top spot in the NL West Division. This weekend's four-game series could very well alter the outlook within…

New York is coming off a 101-61 season and an appearance in a National League Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres. The Mets won 24 more regular-season games in 2022 under first-year manager Buck Showalter than they did the year before under former skipper Luis Rojas. That raised expectations for 2023, and Mets owner Steve Cohen and…

The Mets have gone 10-8 in the 33-year-old Bassitt's outings this season, 12 of which have been of a quality variety. He was sharp early in the season - four of his first five turns were quality ones. And he's been even more filthy of late, spinning six straight quality performances. The former All-Star has gone 3-3 with a 2.43 ERA over that…

Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge put an exclamation point on MLB's 2022 Winter Meetings with the largest free agent contract in MLB history, a nine-year, $360 million deal to remain with the New York Yankees through his age 39 season in 2031.

The Reds, last in the NL Central every year from 2015 to 2018, began pushing their chips to the middle of the table with the trade deadline acquisition of Trevor Bauer in 2019. After the 2019 season, they added free agent infielder Mike Moustakas, outfielder Nick Castellanos, and Japanese import Shogo Akiyama. The moves resulted in the team's first…

One of the biggest rivalries in sports is renewed this weekend as the San Francisco Giants welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Oracle Park for a three-game series. This is the first series in San Francisco this season between the two longtime rivals. Last month, the Dodgers swept a two-game set against the Giants at Dodger Stadium. After seeing…

We gave out one pick, and it lost yesterday. I was confident the Giants bats would get to one of the worst pitchers in baseball, but instead, he shut them down. On top of that, the Reds ended up winning the game. While we have not had a good week, I'm very optimistic about today's slate. I see a lot of value on some road teams today, so let's kick…

MLB free agency is typically dominated by the big market teams. But there tends to always be a dark-horse ball club or two that make noise. For example, the Minnesota Twins emerged out of nowhere to sign Carlos Correa last season. We could see multiple surprise signings occur during this offseason. The Baltimore Orioles have been rumored to have…

Coming off of the best two-start stretch of his MLB career, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas will duke it out with reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes tonight as the Cards visit the Milwaukee Brewers.

After ending a longstanding title drought in 2020, everyone immediately set high expectations for the Los Angeles Dodgers to defend their World Series win in 2021.

Clayton Kershaw was expected to take a step back in 2022 in his age 34 season. Instead, he took a step forward. Kershaw went 12-3 with the Los Angeles Dodgers with a 2.28 ERA in 22 starts. His 12 wins were the best in three seasons, his ERA and 0.96 WHIP were his second-best marks since 2017. Kershaw has won three Cy Young Awards, 197 games (to…

With the Philadelphia Phillies set to start the MLB Playoffs festivities with their NL Wild Card round series vs. the St. Louis Cardinals, that means it's time to release some predictions.

Xander Bogaerts made perhaps the easiest decision of his career on Monday afternoon, when he officially opted out of his team-friendly contract with the Red Sox to become a free agent for the first time. Bogaerts, 30, has been the most productive offensive shortstop in baseball for the last five years. Since 2018, his.880 OPS is clear and away the…

After needing extra innings to decide Friday night's opener, the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants face a fairly short turnaround in a Saturday afternoon showdown at AT&T Park.

The Milwaukee Brewers are not having a fun road trip thus far, but a win in tonight's series opener against the Marlins can help them try to end it better than they have started it.

The first game of the San Francisco Giants vs. Oakland Athletics weekend matchup had the expected result, with Carlos Rodon and the Giants taking a 7-3 win over the Athletics.

Another 1-1 day yesterday, but I feel the tides are beginning to turn. I used this exact sentence yesterday, and it still bodes true. We took the under in Twins vs. Tigers, which hit pretty easily. We saw one blow-up inning from the Twins as Bailey Ober had a rough fifth inning. It didn't matter, as those were the last runs scored in the game, with…

Wright's win last Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies was his 17th of the season, and it gave him sole possession of the top rung on…

So, that was a West Coast trip for the Phillies. There's nothing to talk about in the least. Why would there be? Terrible West coast trips happen. It almost feels like one happens per season. There shouldn't be a reason to panic yet. Remember what happened after the All-Star break? The Phillies got swept by a lowly Cubs team that was rumored to be…

For the first time since our April 24 edition, the Yankees are not in the top 5 of this week's Power Rankings -- and that opened up a spot for another storied franchise. The Cardinals, for the first time since those same April rankings, jumped into the No. 5 spot with their recent surge to take control of the NL Central. But those two clubs are far…
