Isiah Kiner-Falefa Collects Two More Hits

Rafael Montero Grabs Third Save Of Season

Texas Rangers reliever Rafael Montero entered a 4-2 ball game in the top of the ninth and shut the door on the Seattle Mariners to pick up the save. It is Montero's third save of the season, and it looks like he is now the go-to option for the closer role in Texas. On Tuesday […]

Rougned Odor Having Another Slow Start

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has done nothing in 2020 to prove his doubters wrong.

There were mumblings that Odor's time at second base me be coming to an end during spring training, but he […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We kick start a new week with nine games on the main slate for FanDuel. That leaves us with a very high-salary pitcher (Patrick Corbin $10,800) and some middle-tier arms. It's always nice to have more high-upside options, but we can still grab Dustin May or Kyle Gibson to anchor our teams. I could go […]

Kyle Lowry Flirts With A Triple-Double

Robert Covington Disappoints In Good Matchup

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington came into Tuesday's contest in fine form but was disappointing for daily players that thrust him into their lineups.

Joel Embiid Scores Another 27 Points

Coming off a dominant performance in a loss to the Indiana pacers, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid contributed enough to get his team in the win column for the first time since the restart. Embiid had 27 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 31 minutes of action on Monday. The All-Star went […]
