Sunday afternoon, the Diamondbacks invade the Coliseum to face a scrappy Athletics squad. A rookie righty debuts against veteran Eduardo Rodríguez’s uneven arsenal. Both offenses sputter but boast impact bats like Corbin Carroll and Brent Rooker. Bullpens wobble, making every inning a powder keg. This one’s primed for a tight, edge-of-your-seat finish. Below, I’ve got […]

The Phillies and the Tigers take the main stage tonight, but this Mariners/Rangers matchup at T-Mobile Park might be the sneaky-best game of the day. DeGrom vs. a scrappy Evans. The Seattle super-lineup vs. the Rangers’ underperforming one. Below, I’ve got my preview, prediction, and best bet for this Sunday afternoon baseball game between the […]

Philadelphia’s electric Sunday Night Baseball spotlight ignites as the 62-48 Phillies host the 65-47 Tigers in a crucial interleague showdown. Detroit arrives atop the AL Central, one game clear, but wobbles in primetime, just 2-5 on national TV since 2024. Fun stat, right? Total baseball guy stat. Meanwhile, Philadelphia sits 2.5 back in the NL […]

Note: Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski is managing a right shin contusion, and the Brewers placed him on the IL this morning. As of right now, Logan Henderson is now slated to start the game. This, however, does not change my lean. Below, I’ve got my preview, prediction, and best bet for this Wednesday baseball game […]

Everyone knew A.J. Preller would be going absolutely wild at the trade deadline. Because, well, that’s what Preller does. If you’re a Padres fan, the trade deadline for Major League Baseball may as well be a holiday. And so it goes today. After acquiring stud closer Mason Miller from the A’s, the Padres have completed […]

It’s still only July yet, so when you haul open the hangar door to the aircraft bay, you’ll be letting beautiful summer sunshine in on all the sparkling turbines. Truth be told, what you see in the airfield here is my preseason opus. There’s nothing I love in football more than wide receiver play. The […]

Last day before the trade deadline, and pieces are already moving. Adrian Houser’s start got cancelled. Jhoan Duran trolled us all (me, mostly) by hugging his mates in the Twins’ bullpen last night. The Angels and the Braves have made moves. But everyone’s still waiting for the big pieces to fall before the sun doth […]

A sneaky pitching duel commands our full attention under Anaheim’s night sky. José Soriano’s 4.58 xFIP masks his 3.79 ERA and hints at under‑the‑surface volatility, but also knockout potential. Nathan Eovaldi’s microscopic 1.50 ERA sits alongside a 2.78 xFIP, proving elite run prevention. And two lineups that are heating up, maturing, and rounding into midseason […]

Electric energy crackles as the Mariners hunt crucial wins and the A’s chase respect in this series finale. Will it be the Kurtz, Rooker, Dumper, and J-Rod show? Or can Bryan Woo and Jeffrey Springs keep the kids under control tonight? Below, I’ve got my preview, prediction, and best bet for this Wednesday baseball game […]
