ST. LOUIS - Tis the season for excessive social media scrolling, baseball fans. The clock is winding down on the MLB trade deadline. It's that time of the year when the St. Louis Cardinals usually find themselves busy making moves, though the chances of pulling off a blockbuster vary each season. Occasionally, the Cardinals will pull the trigger…

The New York Mets (62-37, 1st in NL East), head to South Beach as they take on the Miami Marlins (47-54, 4th in NL East), in a three-game series that concludes on Saturday night at LoanDepot Park.

Carlos Rodon has a tough assignment tonight, facing the Los Angeles Dodgers and their fearsome lineup, but we think he's up to the task of surpassing his strikeouts prop of 6.5. He's one of our three favorite prop plays on a light MLB schedule. Baseball is back with a short slate to kick off the second half of the season on Thursday. With only six…

We don't have all the facts - or even hardly any of the facts - about what actually happened in the Trevor Bauer situation. But we do have a few facts, and people are routinely dismissing them, disregarding them, or misunderstanding them in the conversation about what the Dodgers should do with him. Jeff goes on a little rant about the few facts we…

We are still in the holiday season with the new year approaching and the Yankees are working behind the scenes to improve their chances at a World Series in 2023. The bombers have been very active thus far in the off-season re-signing Aaron Judge as well as Anthony Rizzo and signing stud starter Carlos Rodon to a six-year deal. Now, the Yankees…

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen followed through on his promise to spend whatever it takes to build this team into a contender. The largest payroll in MLB history gives New York a chance to be the best team in MLB, but there is always room for improvement. The NL East is the best division in baseball. It's going to be a three-team slugfest in 2023…

First of all, you don't have to tell me twice... I'm very aware that the St. Louis Cardinals are risk-averse, trade-averse, "make a big splash"-averse, and generally fun-averse at the MLB trade deadline. While John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt have made some big off-season moves (hello Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado), they're typically conservative…

There has been plenty of disappointment around Baltimore as the Orioles have not had an active offseason in what seemed like a make-or-break free agency for the future of the squad and the sake of the 2023 team. It especially seemed like an offseason where adding top-of-the-rotation pitching would be a primary goal for the team but that has yet to…

The National League Cy Young race is shaping up to be the most hotly contested award race in the 2022 MLB season. With injuries to Jacob deGrom and more recently Max Scherzer, the Cy Young betting market is flush with opportunities. 2021 winner Corbin Burnes is the favorite as of now, but there is plenty of time for the cream to rise to the top as…

The 2020 Miami Marlins were easily Major League Baseball's surprise team. Now it's time to see how they follow it up. After losing 105 games and finishing last in the National League East in 2019, Miami turned the corner in Year Three of the rebuild in a shortened 60-game season by going 31-29. Extrapolated to a 162-game season, that translates to…

The lockout feels like it happened an eternity ago and we're now merely days away from the 2022 MLB season. We still have a massive amount of work to do and I'm left once again wondering if beginning to prep at Thanksgiving was early enough. Welcome to the very first edition of my MLB Notebook here at The Athletic. I couldn't be more excited about…

SAN DIEGO - Now that Jacob deGrom has used his opt-out to escape New York, let's flash forward 11 months when the Mets probably will be facing the same situation with Max Scherzer. If your first instinct is to think, why deal with that now when the deGrom pain is still fresh for the franchise and its fan base, then know this is a current issue for…

With Opening Day right around the corner, it's important to get ahead of as many predictions as possible. At least, it's more fun that way. Think about it like this: Just a few weeks ago, we weren't sure when we might watch Major League Baseball again. Here we are after every major free-agent signing and plenty of marquee trades, with a decent look…

We swept the board yesterday! We needed a day like that, but we have to have a short memory because of course we are back again today with two MLB Best Bets. We took two underdogs and the Reds as a heavy favorite and came out on top. The Reds won easily as did the Diamondbacks, but the Guardians gave us the sweep on a late inning come back on the…

As the MLB season continues, many teams begin to find out what their true destiny will be at the season's end. This is the point now where teams must decide if they will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. The teams that have a good shot at the playoffs will look to add another bat or bullpen pitcher, and teams that are trending in the…

The Arizona Diamondbacks (16-19) are favored on the moneyline (-112) in Tuesday's contest with the Miami Marlins (15-19), which starts at 9:40 PM ET on BSAZ. However, the Marlins are favored against the spread (1.5) with+170 odds. Madison Bumgarner gets the starting nod for Arizona while Pablo Lopez is Miami's starter for the contest. The betting…

This is why I hate parlays. If we straight-bet the Yankees and the over, we would have come out fine. Instead, I got greedy, and we lost a unit on a+250 parlay. We had some fun, but now we get back to business with three MLB Best Bets. Logan Webb (RHP, Giants) [9-3, 2.77 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 123.2 IP, 103 K, 32 BB] Zac Gallen (RHP, Diamondbacks) [5-2,…

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…

The Tampa Bay Rays don't think like you and me, or any other team in baseball for that matter. The Rays sit with the 24th-highest payroll in baseball, right in between the Kansas City Royals and Arizona Diamondbacks at $88 million a year. As the kids would say, "they are built different," and the way they'll attack the deadline will undoubtedly be…

After watching the Atlanta Braves whittle away their divisional lead during June, the New York Mets have started to heat up in July with five wins in their last seven games. The Mets have been especially hot this week, winning four of their last five contests and scoring 29 runs along the way. That kind of offensive output will likely be hard to…

It's a soggy Saturday in the Northeastern part of the country and we are likely to see a few more baseball games canceled today. We had six games postponed yesterday and that put a bit of a damper on an otherwise loaded slate of MLB action. If you're not familiar, I'm "Thunder Dan" Palyo and I cover MLB DFS here at RotoBaller and have been covering…

The master pitching plan, at least on the development side, appears to be taking shape for the Rangers. Three pitchers selected out of high school in the 2018 draft-Cole Winn, Owen White, and Mason Englert-have put themselves in the nearly immediate picture. Had they gone to TCU, South Carolina, and Texas A&M, which were their intended college…

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.

Tough day yesterday. We went 1-2, but we were inches from another 3-0 day. The over in the Twins vs. Tigers' first five innings came up a run short, and the whole game went over. The Blue Jays beat the Red Sox in the bottom of the tenth but didn't cover the spread. The Blue Jays bet was lucky; however, Goerge Springer tied it up late with a two-run…

A new day brings new opportunities on the MLB card, as a bunch of new series get underway on Friday. We've got a few big numbers out there, but most of the card has competitively-lined games, which were few and far between over the last few days. Hopefully that means it will be the start of a nice stretch in the article. With a lot to get to, let's…

Today is a pretty big day. Not just because it's a Friday and the weekend is upon us, but because we're officially 50 days away from the start of college football season. Now, 50 days is nearly two months, but 50 days sounds like less time than nearly two months, doesn't it? These things matter when you hit July and are in the desert portion of the…
