The All-Star Game isn’t exactly the halfway point in the season (most teams have played close to 90 games at this point) but it’s a logical stopping point to access which players are dominating. I did this exercise at the quarter-point in the season, it’s interesting to see how things have changed (or not) since then.

Welcome back, Diamond pickers. Today’s MLB landscape features plenty of games to put wagers on. What could be the game of the day, Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets playing host to Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres, won’t be on my card based on the difficulty to predict how the Mets will perform behind the “deGrominator.”

Sunday Shenanigans: A Bad Ending to a Great Game

This week’s Sunday Shenanigans brings us back to a week ago. April 4’s Sunday Night Baseball clash between the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels was a pretty standard baseball game throughout five innings. That is, if the pitcher mashing a home run while striking out seven is standard to you.
