The alliteration series! Even without Jacob Misiorowski, the Brewers are starting to look like the best team in the major leagues. Their offense is blowing roofs off climate-controlled stadiums. And now they get the lowly Braves. Below, I’ve got my preview, prediction, and best bet for this Monday night baseball game between the Braves and […]

The Marlins just made the Yankees look like the Dodgers. Which is a nutters thing to say in 2025 with those bloated payrolls. But Miami absolutely walloped the post-trade-deadline Yankees in the Bronx this weekend. While the Rangers—whose Nathan Eovaldi was just awarded Pitcher of the Month for July, continue to hold firm in the […]

Is there a peskier team than the Royals? They’ve taken two-of-three from the Cubs, the Guardians, the Braves, and the Blue Jays in their last four series. Counterquestion—is there a hotter team than the Red Sox? Maybe the Marlins, but, honestly, I’m not sure the Sox would be upset about conceding that. The Marlins did […]

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 […]
