Even with Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Angels, our MLB betting picks have some qualms about backing them as -250 favorites. As such, we're targeting the value with the underdog Rangers with some help from Jonah Heim's bat. The Los Angeles Angels return home after a six-game to Atlanta and Kansas City where they went 3-3. Now, they host the…

The MLB free-agency and trade market dominoes have continued to fall at a dizzying pace since the lockout was lifted as teams try to fit three months' worth of offseason activity into just a few weeks. Despite all of the activity, high-profile stars Carlos Correa and Trevor Story are both still searching for a new home as Opening Day fast…

During their Scary Stretch, from July 28 to August 10, a fourteen-game stretch when the Mariners faced the Astros and Yankees twice, the team went 7-7. They opened that stretch by losing a series against Houston in pretty deflating fashion, including a 1-11 loss to Verlander and the Astros, but dusted themselves off, went into the Big Apple, and…

OAKLAND - Consider the odds for a moment. In 2013, there were nearly 475000 boys playing high school baseball in the country, according to a survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations. That total was made up of 15632 schools. So, my beloved mathematicians out there, what are the chances that two of those players…

The 2022 Texas Rangers team looks to be improved compared to the team that went 60-102 just one year ago. The additions of Corey Seager and Marcus Semien helps solidify the infield. Starting pitcher Jon Gray was added to an inexperienced rotation. Once the CBA is ironed out, the Rangers will likely add another pitcher to the rotation and someone…

The Blue Jays are sending Hyun Jin Ryu to the mound as they try to close out a three-game sweep against the Rangers. With lackluster pitching and a lineup that struggles against lefties, our MLB betting picks don't see Texas providing much resistance.

As the baseball world prepares for the offseason to kick into a higher gear this evening, here are three things to keep an eye on throughout the day: 1. The Next Stage Of The Offseason Begins At 4 PM CDT today, free agency will begin in earnest. Most importantly, that time is when free agents will be free to negotiate and sign new contracts with…

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…

The playoffs are moving into the Division Series, and the Rangers are watching from their couches for the sixth straight October. But if they feel like catching a game, they won't have any trouble spotting familiar faces.
