Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakouts: Identifying Aces with Elite Fastballs

If you're tired of reading article after article that just touts individual players for the upcoming season, then why not take some time to dig into some advanced metrics with me in the second part of my research-based series on starting pitcher statistics? If you're looking for part one, you can find it here. I […]

NBA First Basket Predictions Today: Expert Prop Bets and Picks for Tuesday, 3/10

How many times this season have you tracked a player prop for the entire game, only for the player you bet on to come up one point, assist, or rebound shy of going over or under their prop? It happened to me twice on Sunday, and again yesterday (thanks, Karl-Anthony Towns), and I bet it's […]

Post-Hype Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Breakout Candidates for 2026

Getting to the big leagues is no easy task, even for the most talented prospects. And once players get the call to the majors, they struggle to stick more often than not. But we love hyping up young, talented players regardless. We often place unrealistic expectations on highly touted young players, and when they fail […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 20: 3/9 -3/15

It's crunch time! Not only are NBA teams preparing for the stretch run to the playoffs, but fantasy basketball teams are doing the same! If you're reading this, it means your team(s) are still alive and kicking - and you probably need some help from the wire this week, right? Some of you will be […]

Today's NBA Picks: Top Player Props, Odds, and Best Bets (Sunday, 3/8/26)

We continue to get some stellar matchups and full slates on Sundays, so why not place some wagers and enjoy a full day of NBA basketball? The Cavs, with Donovan Mitchell back in the lineup, take on the Celtics, who just added Jayson Tatum back to the mix in the early national TV game. Then […]

Four Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Sleepers - Cheap Draft Picks With Upside (2026)

My series of starting pitching articles rolls along, with some bargain-bin discounts that are all available much later in drafts! I typically like to wait longer to draft starting pitchers than others, as I think it's easier to find value at the position than at hitter. There are quite a few candidates for your rotation […]

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Thursday, 3/5/26)

Gone are the Thursdays with only a few primetime NBA matchups! We have a stellar nine-game slate on tap tonight and no shortage of wagering opportunities! I'm leaning into the game outcome markets a bit more lately and slowly away from player props as minutes are getting tougher to project on many teams, but I'll […]


LaMelo Ball - Charlotte Hornets

Kalshi NBA Picks Today: High-Volume Prediction Market Trades for March 3, 2026

10 games on a Tuesday night in early March? After a sleepy Monday in the Association, we have a pretty loaded NBA slate tonight, including a national NBC broadcast of the San Antonio Spurs and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Eastern Conference features a marquee matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the potential #1 seed Detroit […]


Robert Williams III - NBA DFS Picks, Fantasy Basketball Rankings

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 19: 3/2-3/8

One thing that has become more apparent to me this year than in any previous year of covering fantasy basketball is that there are so many readers who are playing in leagues that are using standard settings. I am very comfortable in 12-team, 9-CAT H2H leagues, but I realize that many of you are playing […]

4 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Breakouts to Target in Drafts (2026)

The term "breakout" gets thrown around a lot, I know. And it's always important to put it in context. For the sake of this article, it's going to refer to pitchers with relatively little MLB experience who could be ready to make a big impact for fantasy teams in 2026. These pitchers check as many […]

SIERA Overachievers - Identifying Fantasy Baseball Pitchers Worth Fading in 2026

It's that time again - time to dig into the advanced stats and see what we can find that will help us make the right decisions in our upcoming fantasy baseball drafts. Every year, I like to analyze the SIERA of starter pitchers to identify those who likely overperformed in terms of their ERA. SIERA […]

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Thursday, 2/26/26)

It's been two weeks in a row now where we have seen the NBA schedule get overloaded on Thursday night, moving away from the traditional pattern of smaller slates on Thursdays -- and I am here for it! Sure, the NBA has been pretty wacky lately with rampant tanking and tons of superstars sitting out, […]


Jarrett Allen - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Today's NBA Picks: Top Player Props, Odds & Best Bets (Sunday 2/22/26)

We rarely get such a loaded Sunday slate of NBA action, but now that the NFL is no longer in the mix, the league will look to feature some of its best matchups on Sunday for national TV broadcasts. We have 11 games today and two really good games featured as the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers […]


Gui Santos - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, DFS Picks, NBA Injury News

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 18: 2/23-3/1

We turn the calendar over to March by the end of Week 18, and the fantasy playoffs start in some leagues. There's a pretty good case for moving the playoff weeks up next year with how bad the tanking situation has gotten this year, but that's probably a conversation for another day! For other managers […]


Jarace Walker - Fantasy Basketball Rankings, DFS Picks, NBA Injury News

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Friday, 2/20/26)

Last night, we saw 20 NBA teams return to action, and we have another nine games tonight. Multiple teams will be playing the second half of a back-to-back (Cleveland, Charlotte, Washington, Indiana, Denver, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and L.A. Clippers), and we may try to take advantage of several of those situations. If you're reading this, then […]

Stuff+ Standouts - Identifying Potential Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Breakouts

You guessed it - I'm discussing starting pitchers for the upcoming 2026 MLB season. When it comes to drafting starting pitchers, there's always a case to be made for drafting some reliable arms who are proven commodities, especially earlier in drafts. But I'm almost always chasing upside with my pitching picks, especially in the middle […]

The Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball - Week 17

The good news is that NBA games return today, and we have a loaded finish to Week 17 with a bunch of games in the next four days. The bad news, of course, is that the war of attrition in the NBA continues as star players continue to drop like flies, meaning the balancing act […]

Biggest K-BB% Fallers - Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Warning Signs for 2026

We could argue all day about which statistics and metrics are the most reflective of a pitcher's success. But the consensus is that a pitcher's strikeout-minus-walk rate (K-BB%) is a pretty solid barometer for overall performance, and I would agree. In the complex world of baseball statistics, sometimes simpler is better. When it comes to […]

Building a Breakout: How to Find Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Values Using Advanced Metrics (2026)

Pitchers and catchers reported to camp this week, and I reported back to my duties as a fantasy baseball analyst after lending my time and research to both basketball and football since last season concluded. I love researching and writing about baseball, especially pitchers. I was pretty excited to receive a nomination for "Best Research […]

Today's NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineups, Values, Stacks (Wednesday, 2/11/26)

It's the last big hurrah before the All-Star Break, as there are 14 NBA games tonight and only three more tomorrow. FanDuel is running a 10-game main slate tonight, omitting any games that start at 9:00 PM EST or later. Meanwhile, DraftKings has a 13-game slate with all the games except the late 10:00 start […]


Joel Embiid - NBA Injury News, Daily Fantasy Basketball, DFS Lineup Picks

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Monday, 2/9/26)

The Super Bowl is a thing of the past, and we have just four more days of NBA games before a week off, so if you are looking for some action on the Association tonight, look no further! If you're reading this, then I am going to assume that you are an NBA bettor. Today's […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 17: 2/9-2/22

The trade deadline has come and gone, and while we see a good bit of player movement, we also saw some superstars stay put as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, Michael Porter Jr., and Domantas Sabonis remained with their current clubs. The number of players already being rested and even pulled early from games (Utah, we […]

NFL DFS Stacks for Super Bowl LX: Correlations for Seattle and New England

The big game is nearly upon us, and with it comes the biggest single-game DFS slate of the year. This is the fourth year in a row that I have taken on the task of building out a full chart of correlations for both teams, but it certainly paid dividends last season, as I had […]

Super Bowl LX Betting Picks and Players Props for Novig

The Super Bowl has long been the event that draws the most betting interest of all other sporting spectacles. Even if your team didn't make it to the final game, every NFL fan (and plenty of non-fans) will be tuning into the big game tomorrow for one reason or another. If you're going to watch […]

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Tuesday, 2/3/26)

After a pretty light Monday night slate, we're blessed with 10 games in the Association tonight. The trade rumors are beginning to ramp up ahead of the Thursday afternoon deadline (please don't let the Cavs trade for Harden), but we still haven't seen many deals done. Perhaps it will pick up in the final hours, […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 16: 2/2-2/8

Week 16 is the last full week before the All-Star break and also includes the NBA trade deadline on Thursday. It should be a pretty eventful week in the NBA, with a lot of rumors still floating around about players who could be on the move. Last week, I wrote about some sneaky stashes for […]

Today's NBA Picks: Top Player Props, Odds & Best Bets (Sunday 2/1/26)

We rarely get a 10-game NBA slate on a Sunday. But with the NFL taking a week off before the Super Bowl, the NBA takes center stage today with some nationally-televised games. The Bucks and Celtics square off on ESPN at 3:30 PM EST, while we get a double-header on Peacock with the Lakers-Knicks game […]

The Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball - Week 15

Welcome back to this week's edition of the fantasy basketball cut list! We are getting to the point of the year where we are running into some of the same players for the second time. We are also starting to stack up injured players either on the cut list or the "hot seat," as managers […]


Dyson Daniels - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball Rankings, Injury News

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Wednesday, 1/28/26)

Tonight brings us nine NBA games, and I am pretty pumped to attack this slate from a betting perspective. There are a bunch of really good game environments for offense, and I am going to continue to be aggressive with NBA prop bet wagers tonight. Lately, I have been running pretty hot, so I hope […]
