Exclusive: David Herz’s Baseball Journey
In 2019, the Chicago Cubs selected David Herz with the 252nd pick in the MLB draft. While the Fayetteville native was drafted in the eighth round, he has climbed up the Cubs prospect list.

Since their World Series victory in 2016, the Cubs have made the playoffs three out of four seasons but won just one series. The team went from long-time lovable losers to a team that was a legitimate underachiever.

The 2021 MLB Trade Deadline is set for July 30, a date that’s much different than what it was in 2020. It’s a return to normalcy. Still, the sharp increase in players on the IL compared to past years is bound to add a fascinating twist to the equation.

Entering the 2021 season, there were not postseason expectations for the Chicago Cubs. It would be the last dance for their three stars in Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, and Anthony Rizzo together. Then, the worst thing happened for Hoyer and company: The Cubs actually started the season by winning games.

On the 66th anniversary of Sandy Koufax’s MLB debut, the Chicago Cubs’ pitching staff threw its first ever combined no-hitter in franchise history at Dodger Stadium. The final out of Thursday night’s 4-0 Cubs win was recorded by closer Craig Kimbrel. For the MLB’s active saves leader, making history wasn’t on his mind.

Good to be back once again. Let’s see if we can keep the winners coming and bulk up the billfold with a bet from each sport tonight. If you behave, the Daily Wager may include a nice parlay for your betting pleasure on a Monday evening.

Tonight the St. Louis Cardinals will battle the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Let’s take a look at who we can get in our lineups and definitely get some value in our Sunday Showdown.

Happy weekend to everyone. We are back at it with more analysis for another full Saturday of Major League Baseball. Our focus today will be on a couple of nightcaps that are sure to get plenty of attention.

Welcome to the Weekly Wagers. It’s a great time of year to be laying down some cash, with baseball in full swing and NBA and NHL playoffs at our disposal.

The idea for Sunday Shenanigans was to cover the weirdest play of the week. Covering possibly the dumbest play in Major League Baseball history was not expected, but instead welcomed. We knew the Pittsburgh Pirates would be bad, but this Thursday brought them to a whole new level.

Kris Bryant is in the final year of his contract with the Chicago Cubs and with no extension talks happening between the two sides, it looks like Bryant will be traded at some point this season.

This weekend should prove to be an exciting one for MLB as there are several series featuring highly touted clubs. For today’s rendition of Diamond picks, we will focus our attention on divisional matchups.
