Spring Training is but a day old – pitchers and catchers reported yesterday; the positional reporting date is February 18, though many are already in camp – but there are already a number of tidbits worth sharing (in bullet form – which is code for: these are interesting/important enough to share, but not interesting/important enough to get their own post).
We were all bummed when Cody Bellinger crashed into that wall and fractured two of his ribs for all the obvious reason. No team wants to play without their star center fielder and top-2 hitter. But the injury was especially...

The Cubs may have won last night's game because of Shota Imanaga's dominance, Chris Morel's sac fly, Cody Bellinger's homer, and Michael Busch's lightning-fueled walk-off. But the game was saved by two huge defensive moments from Ian Happ and Nico...
Rehab start number two for Kyle Hendricks was another largely successful one, with both results and good health (he got up to 85 pitches). https://twitter.com/IowaCubs/status/1787992856868561361 https://twitter.com/voiceofcohen2/status/1788009083930304736 https://twitter.com/AlyssaHertel/status/1788021711008391636 The fact that the rotation at the big league level has been doing...
As the rains were coming down hard, it was fair to wonder whether the Cubs and Padres were going to get to finish that game before going into a rain delay. I'm sure nobody really wanted that to happen, which...

Straight-up MLB betting can get a little redundant sometimes. Pitching matchups or lopsided affairs can often make little to no value in your standard Moneyline, Run Line, or Over/Under bets. That's where MLB props come in. Whether it's Home Run...
