MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/23/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
Two of the most-hyped rookies in Major League Baseball are in action tonight and it’s worth noting part of the reason why they have been so lauded.

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/16/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
Getting on base is the name of the game. It may have been popularized by Moneyball but the idea remains central to generating offense in Major League Baseball. The top players when it comes to getting on base are a who’s who, for the most part. Mike Trout, Christian Yelich, Cody Bellinger, Carlos Santana. Wait,... Read More
MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/15/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Venue matters in any sport, but certainly in baseball, where home-road splits can reveal some fascinating tendencies. It’s not a big deal if a star can put up numbers both at home and on the road or if a backup catcher can’t hit at home or on the road, but there are players who lose... Read More

As much as I have touted overs on pitcher strikeouts, with some justification, it’s not something to accept blindly. Sometimes the number is just too big to bank on for that day, or maybe it’s a pitcher who doesn’t – even in this environment – pick up a lot of Ks. With a full slate... Read More

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 6/24/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
The game is strikeout ball. As baseball gets ever closer to being a three-true-outcome sport, finding pitchers that are putting up strikeouts means finding sources of potential value.
