Daily Fantasy SportsNFLFootballPremium NFL DFS Game-by-Game Breakdown for Week 3 Joe DiCarlo 3 days ago written by Joe DiCarlo Week Two was a roller coaster, some of us just made it across the pay lines and some saw takedowns in GPPs. One take of mine from Week two as I mentioned in the breakdown, Puca Nacua is matchup proof! If you kept riding the hot hand with him, for DFS, you cashed in more tickets. On to Week Three! The injury bug bit the NFL across the league last weekend, including superstar running back Nick Chubb. With a ton of value on this slate it can again get pretty chalky, so let's think outside the box for GPPs. Cash games are a priority in my book, stay right here as I dissect the players to consider in each matchup.

NFLPremium NFL DFS Game-by-Game Breakdown for Week 2 Joe DiCarlo 1 week ago written by Joe DiCarlo Week One is in the books, but let's keep the momentum going for our bankrolls as we dive into this breakdown for Week Two of DFS. The 12-game slate loses last week's top fantasy scorer Tyreek Hill (47.5 DK PTS.), who we were all over like a wet blanket in our first article of the season. However, we do get the Chiefs back on Sunday afternoon along with a couple of other matchups with close to a 50-point total. That's usually my first line of attack, game totals, but so is most of the field. The public will be expecting a huge bounce-back from Kansas City after their loss in the opener, so let's zig when they zag and get creative to cross the pay line.

MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces and Stacks (Sept. 15) Jared Levitt 1 week ago written by Jared Levitt Welcome to Friday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll go through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Friday and I ain’t got &*(^ to do. That’s a lie, I have an article to write about a great 13-game slate of MLB DFS. At first glance, this is a great slate. We have solid pitchers in amazing spots and bats in even better spots. With 26 teams in action, we’ll have plenty of options on both the mound and at bat. Let’s dig in and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Justin Steele vs. Arizona Diamondbacks I said the other day when I recommended Joey Lucchesi against the Diamondbacks that they were an average-at-best team vs. lefties. Lucchesi went on to pitch a gem and got us nearly 20 DK points. Tonight, they’ll face a much tougher task in a pitcher like Justin Steele who is currently in the Cy Young conversation. Steele has been brilliant. Over the last month, he’s pitched to a 1.36 ERA and has a nearly 31% K rate. There ar... 1 week ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLB MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Sept. 21) Justin Elick 2 weeks ago written by Justin Elick Thursday features a five-game night slate that starts at 7:07 PM EST. There are plenty of options and paths we can attack, so let’s get to it! MLB DFS Aces Kyle Bradish vs Tampa Bay Rays If you’ve read my articles, you know I am obsessed with Bradish. The kid just continues to pump out quality starts, and has 19.9+ DraftKings points in 6 of his last 7 outings. He hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in a start since August 1st. Tampa Bay rolls into town having heated back up after their midseason slump. Bradish has faced the Rays twice since late June with pretty solid results. The first was 5 innings of 2-run ball with just four hits allowed and an 8/2 K/BB. The second was 6 innings of 2 run ball with six hits allowed and a 5/1 K/BB. He is a solid option on a small slate that will almost undoubtedly have a high floor. Logan Webb vs Colorado Rockies Hear me out on this one. Normally we avoid pitchers in Coors Field, and for good reason. That said, Webb is one of the most talented pitchers on the slate, and with only a few games, we need to differentiate. He has faced the Rockies twice in San Fran over the last few months and has a combined stat line of 15 IP, 10 H, 0 ER, and a 14/1 K/BB. While we can’t necessarily expect those numbers to maintain going from a pitcher’s paradise in Northern California to the high altitude in Colorado, this is a great matchup for Webb. He has had mixed results over the last month or so, but the upside is undoubtedly present. The Giants are battling for a playoff spot, and this is as close to a must-win as they will face from here on out. I’m shooting my shot with Webb here. Michael King vs Boston Red Sox Ever since King has moved into the rotation, he has been fantastic. Over his last four starts, he has a combined 14 innings of work, allowing just 3 hits, 2 ER, and an 18/1 K/BB. This directly coincides with me dropping him in some dynasty leagues because he wasn’t providing back-end value. But I digress. The Red Sox have a potent offense, but one that is inconsistent. Last time King faced them, it was a short stint where he allowed 3 ER in just 1.1 innings while walking 2 and striking out 2. The Yankees have been a train wreck this season, but it seems like they may have found something in King as a rotation piece. With a Coors game, I’m going lower salary on the pitching. Neither Gausman or Eovaldi excite me in their matchups. Let’s get some offense. MLB DFS Stacks San Fransisco Giants vs Chase Anderson I mentioned a pitcher in Coors above, but this is the pitcher to target for upside with your bats. Anderson was never a particularly good starter in MLB, and this season has shown more of the same. His last two starts have been particularly bad, allowing 8 ER over 7.1 IP on 10 hits with a 6/4 K/BB. That is…not good. The Giants are ready to pounce in this matchup as they continue to fight down the wire for a wild-card spot. Mitch Haniger, Wilmer Flores, Thairo Estrada, Joc Pederson, and Mike Yaztremski look like solid options here, but this is a lineup in flux at times, and I want all pieces here against the gas can that is Chase Anderson. Minnesota Twins vs Jose Arena Jose Urena seems to be best known for being terrible and for intentionally throwing at Ronald Acuna Jr. in his career. He made his return from the IL last week, and wasn’t particularly impressive, but did allow just a single run in 4 innings of work against the Tigers. The Twins are inexplicably in a playoff spot due to how terrible the AL Central has been this season. That said, there is upside to be had against Urena. Over his career, he has really struggled with LHB, so I’ll be prioritizing Edouard Julien, Max Kepler, the switch-hitting Willi Castro, and Matt Wallner. Alex Kiriloff is another lefty, and the list goes on with this lineup. There are a ton of strikeouts to be had against the Twins, but I’m not betting on Urena to have success at any point. Give me the lefty Twins and let’s move on to the next one. Chicago White Sox vs Kenta Maeda This one is a bit off the wall, but that’s why we like it. Maeda has seemed to completely lose his strikeout upside, and has just an 8/4 K/BB over his last three starts (14.1 IP). The White Sox still have some bats that can do damage, and they are my contrarian stack of the night. Luis Robert Jr. is the obvious top choice, but Eloy Jimenez, Andrew Vaughn, Andrew Benintendi, and even the “knocked-out” king Tim Anderson are in play here. I think he will continue to throw strikes and fool nobody, and this is a lineup at potentially low ownership that can take advantage. It may be a lost season for the Sox, but they can at least make us some cash and go down swinging.

MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces and Stacks (Sept. 13) Jared Levitt 2 weeks ago written by Jared Levitt Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll go through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. Hump Day! It’s Wednesday and that brings us another split slate of MLB DFS. I’m going to be focused on tonight’s 7 game slate. Pitching on this slate is mostly atrocious. The one true ace on this slate is Blake Snell and he gets a dance with the Dodgers. This does however mean we should have plenty of spots for stacks tonight. Let’s dig in and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Blake Snell vs. Los Angeles Dodgers I touched on this in the opener, but the one true ace on this slate is Blake Snell and he gets a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. It’s a scary matchup but Blake Snell has been an absolute beast this season. His K rate has been down a bit of late, but it’s still over 30% over the last month. Is he safe tonight? Far, very far from it. But his price is down from where it’s been as he’s only $10.1k on DK ... 2 weeks ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail

MLB MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (Sept. 7) Justin Elick 3 weeks ago written by Justin Elick Thursday has no day slate, but we have a solid six-game slate for the evening starting at 6:40 ET. Let’s find some ways to grab some cash as we head into the weekend. MLB DFS Aces Luis Castillo vs Tampa Bay RaysCastillo is the most talented pitcher on the slate, and it isn’t particularly close. He owns a 3.19 ERA and 1.03 WHIP on the season with a 183/40 K/BB over 169.1 innings of work this season. He takes on a Rays team that started the season on fire, but hasn’t exactly been tearing the cover off the ball of late. Over the last 30 days, they are bottom 10 in K rate (23.6%), bottom 10 in BB rate (7.6%), but still have an elite power/speed combo. That said, I’m siding with Castillo on this short slate. He has allowed 2 ER or less in five of his last eight starts, although he didn’t fare too well against the Rays last time they faced off. He served up 6 R (4 ER) over six innings of work, but did have a 6/0 K/BB. I’m siding with the talent here. Javier Assad vs Arizona DiamondbacksOn a short slate, we have to differentiate, and Assad actually feels like a worthwhile risk in this spot. He has been nothing short of tremendous over his last two outings. He held the Reds and Pirates to just 1 ER over 15 innings of work with a 14/3 K/BB. Granted, even as a Reds fan I can admit that this D-Backs lineup is more of a problem. This is also a a lineup that has been devoid of power over the last month, with only the Giants and Guardians hitting less home runs over that span. Assad has had command issues at times, with just a 67/33 K/BB on the season in 87 innings on the mound. I usually steer clear of command issues, but when we factor in price, it is hard not to justify taking the shot here, even against a fairly patient D-Backs lineup. Max Fried vs St. Louis CardinalsFried looks like he is back to his old ways, and that is bad news for the train wreck that is the Cardinals lineup. He will have to navigate lefty-mashers Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado, but outside of those two, nobody scares me in this lineup. Fried has been electric over his last two outings against the Dodgers and Giants, allowing a total of 2 ER with an 18/4 K/BB over 13 innings of work. Let’s sit back and enjoy while Fried dominates the Cardinals during the next step of their embarrassment of a season. MLB DFS Stacks Atlanta Braves vs Adam WainwrightThe only thing better than the worst pitcher in baseball being on the slate is the fact that he is facing the best lineup in baseball (Get over it, Dodgers, the Braves are the clear top lineup). Wainwright has totaled the following DraftKings points over his last 10 starts:6.9-0.37.3-19.2-3.95.59.7 (WOW)-0.5-11.7-14.5We talk about this all the time. Any other name would have been forced into an early retirement. Ronald Acuna Jr., Matt Olson, Austin Riley, Marcelo Ozuna, Michael Harris, I want them all. Whoever I can fit from the Braves side will be a priority for me. Fireworks incoming. Chicago Cubs vs Ryne NelsonThe Cubs have been one of the best lineups in baseball since the All-Star Break, and Ryne Nelson, quite simply put, is not very good. He has allowed 12 ER over his last two starts against the Twins and Padres over just six innings of work. Cody Bellinger is the clear top priority here for me, but Ian Happ, Dansby Swanson, Seiya Suzuki, and Christopher Morel aren’t far behind. Let’s take advantage of a hot lineup against a struggling pitcher. If the wind is blowing out at Wrigley again, watch out. Nelson has served up 22 gopher balls already in 2023. Los Angeles Angels vs Cal QuantrillThe Angels are in a great spot against Quantrill. We talked above about how bad Adam Wainwright was, but Cal hasn’t been much better. He has negative DK points in four of his last five outings. Not good. The Angels are ready to tee off here, despite the fact that their lineup has been struggling of late without Ohtani and Trout. They look like a solid cheap stack and filler team on this short slate. Brandon Drury, Logan O’Hoppe, Mickey Monica, Noah Schaunel, and Mike Moustakas are my main targets here. Get yourself some value with the Halos. MLB DFS SummaryThursday features the Braves against Adam Wainwright. What a great night for fireworks.

DP World TourPremium Everything You Need to Know for the Irish Open David Bieleski 3 weeks ago written by David Bieleski What a fabulous week it was once again for our picks at The European Masters. Alexander Bjork went extremely close to victory, an imperious Ludvig Aberg denying him the win with a stunning final 5 holes. Aberg continues to impress and is surely the most exciting prospect in European golf since Hovland and Rahm burst onto the scene. Masahiro Kawamura was put in these pages at a huge 200/1 and duly finished 8th. For those with 8 place payouts this was reduced slightly from 40/1 due a tie for 8th, but we cash full tickets on a Top 20 and Top 40. Finally, Renato Paratore at 150/1 and Ryo Hisatsune at 80/1 both finished in 13th. That was one shot off two more big place payouts and both were good for Top 20/40 options. Barring the winner, that is just about as good as it gets. With the European Ryder Cup team now set following Luke Donald's captain's picks, the attention turns to the magnificent K Club in County Kildare for our Irish Open Picks.

MLBPremium MLB DFS Aces & Stacks (July 24) steve hall 2 months ago written by steve hall Welcome to Monday’s edition of Aces and Bases, where I’ll go through the top MLB DFS Aces and Stacks on DraftKings and Fanduel. It’s Monday Funday and we have ourselves a nice little 8-game slate of MLB DFS. This slate is more pitching-heavy than it is flush with stacking options. While there’s no true “ace” on this slate, some of the pitchers are more than solid and are in a position to have strong nights thanks to the solid matchups that they are in tonight. Let’s dig in and make some money! MLB DFS Aces – Main Yu Darvish vs. Pittsburgh Pirates This may be the first time I’ve used Yu Darvish all season. Darvish has had an ok season thus far. His record of 7-6 and his ERA of 4.36 are probably not where he had hoped they would be, but he does have a respectable WHIP of 1.26. He’s averaged around 17 DK points this season which is very respectable. He’s coming into this on the heels of back-to-back vintage Darvish outings.&n... 2 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
MLBPremium The MLB Sweet Spot (July 23) Dave Gloeckner 2 months ago written by Dave Gloeckner Welcome to another Sunday Funday edition of The Sweet Spot. With the British Open on in the background as I write this, here’s hoping the weather across America is better than what those golfers are dealing with. And based on a quick look, there shouldn’t be any weather issues in the early slate so we can pick away with confidence that Mother Nature won’t affect our games. Looking at the slate today, we have potential bullpen games with Colorado, Arizona, and San Francisco. This always gets tricky with offenses as we saw a team in Pittsburgh throw a shutout with a bullpen game against a hot Angels lineup last night. On the other hand, we saw 7 teams score over 8 runs in a game yesterday. But we also saw 7 other teams score 2 runs or less. So it’s been an all-or-nothing approach at the plate for teams lately. This article will focus on Pitchers, from aces to value, and Hitters, from team stacks to studs to value plays. Prop bets for today will be provided in the Gophers and Gas a... 2 months ago 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
