Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd took the hill on Tuesday against the struggling Orioles and did exactly what he was supposed to do, holding the Orioles scoreless over six innings of work with eight strikeouts and just one walk. He scattered six hits in the outing. Boyd has been a pleasant surprise in a weak Tigers rotation, posting a 5-4 record with a 2.11 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 72 2/3 innings of work. His 2.78 FIP suggests that we can expect solid production to continue for Boyd[...]

Despite the recent struggles for the Detroit Tigers, starting pitcher Matthew Boyd is a strong play Tuesday against an equally bad Orioles squad.

Baltimore has the 22nd-ranked offense in terms of runs scored this season and Boyd has held opponents to a .200 batting average in road starts this season.

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube(hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones.I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, I haven't really "watched" the show per se, but it looks cool. It's not that I don't want to watch it, I just don't have that kind of time to invest. Put it this way - I'm still halfway through Season 2 of Breaking[...]
