Hello and welcome back to the gambling corner. It has been a minute since we have given out some picks. We are in the dog-days of the baseball season and to be honest, you can only gamble on so many baseball games before you need a little break. So, let’s get back on track and have ourselves a good day.
For the first time since 2002, the Cleveland Browns made the playoffs last season with an 11-5 record. The running game led the way as the Browns finished fourth in the NFL with 495 rushing attempts. In the second year of Kevin Stefanski’s system, let’s look at what fantasy players can expect from the Browns this season.
In 2018, the Colorado Rockies selected Shelby Lackey in the 18th round of the MLB draft. Since then he has seen his stock rise in three minor league seasons. Although Lackey was the 546th overall pick, he was one of the Rockies’ top 30 prospects at the beginning of the 2021 campaign.
The Blue Jays’ farm system has been shaken up and rearranged. Let’s dive into the new five faces who make up the future of baseball in Toronto.
The Anaheim Ducks went into the draft looking to have a balance among the picks they chose. In addition, they were looking to bolster their offense. You might call it a rebuild, and what better way to get the ball rolling than building through the draft. The promise of new talent is irresistible, and the Ducks heard its siren call.
The Los Angeles Angels farm system has improved greatly in past five years. In large part to successful draft selections, trade acquisitions and strategic international signings.
Remaining one of the top college football conferences in 2020, the SEC was once again led by two powerhouses in Alabama and Florida. Perfect in the West Division, Nick Saban’s group finished 13-0, including an excellent 10-0 record in interdivisional play.
This year’s MLB trade deadline came and went, with a ton of deals made in the final hours. One move managed to fly under the radar involving a closer with two extra years of team control going to a team that is in the playoff mix. The trade in question? The Braves sent arms Bryse Wilson and Ricky DeVito to Pittsburgh for right-hander Richard Rodriguez.
Seven wins were all the Minnesota Vikings had to show for the 2020 NFL season. It was a year when a previously stale offense took a quantum leap forward, but a defense ravaged by injuries hit the wall. A road win over chief NFC North rival the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, when Dalvin Cook ran riot, was one of the season’s few high points. Conversely, the lowest moment was letting Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints gash an overwhelmed defense for 52 points on Christmas Day.
When the Red Sox signed Kevin Plawecki before the 2020 season, he was not known for his offense. Over the past two years, however, that has not been the case. Through 63 games with Boston, he has been an on-base machine. While the Red Sox have struggled of late, Plawecki has been a bright spot. As the 2021 season winds down, the Red Sox will need the Purdue product to continue his current production.
Football is back! With the preseason underway, fantasy players are doing mock drafts hourly (or maybe it’s just me) to prepare for their fantasy drafts. In the third part of an eight-part series, I will look over the NFC South and provide ADP values, likely to bust candidates and potential sleepers.
Let’s dive into the full list of the Braves’ top-five prospects, complete with grades, analysis, and more.

The countdown to training camp is on, and L’Jarius Sneed @jay__sneed is fully locked in. 🏈
He’s spending this final pre-camp window sharpening his technique and mastering the defensive scheme to ensure he’s at peak form when he hits the field in St. Joseph on July 24. Beyond
Some things are far bigger than football. #NFL
#ChiefsKingdom is sending love and prayers to legend Chris Johnson and his family following his ALS diagnosis. Watching CJ2K play was an absolute privilege—even as an opponent.
Stay strong, brother. We stand with you. 💯

With a big match in the Round of 32, Team USA has a new leader who has quickly made his mark. Officials want to extend Mauricio Pochettino's contract. Nick Athan @ChiefsInsider supports that decision. @HenseToddJR3

The Group play is over, and Team USA is now heading toward the Round of 32 with confidence. Still, as @ChiefsInsider states, the path ahead won't be easy, but to downplay their chances for a deep run would be a mistake. @HenseToddJR3
