MLB Strikeouts Player Prop Bets Today: Best Pitcher K Props (4/2/2025)
Some of my favorite MLB player props to wager daily are pitcher strikeout props! Did you know that strikeout rates - among pitchers and hitters - are some of the most stable statistics in baseball? Sure, players will fluctuate throughout the year on a game-by-game basis and from year to year, but we usually get […]

It's a little too early to dig too deep into the matchup data this week, but we can certainly take a look at which hitters are heading to hitter-friendly parks and have the potential to either keep their hot starts going or bounce back after a rocky opening weekend. Our hitter streamers fantasy baseball waiver-wire […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 3/28/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
It's only seven games tonight, which feels light for a Friday night but also just might happen to be a breath of fresh air for a content creator like myself who has fewer teams to sort through and injuries to account for! As always, I'm going to help break down the FanDuel NBA DFS slate […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 3/26/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
While tonight's NBA DFS slate only includes six games, you can make a pretty good argument for using players from any of these games in your lineups, as no team is favored by more than five points. The highest total comes from the Lakers-Pacers game at 235, followed by a clash of the tankers as […]

7 Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions - Dan Palyo's 2025 Picks
Who doesn't love some preseason bold predictions? I usually try to avoid making extremely hyperbolic statements and predictions and tend to focus more on grinding the data to find the answers I am looking for, but what fun is that? "Go big or go home" is what they say, right? If you're going to be […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 21 (2024-25): March 24 - March 30
Did you survive the minefield of players resting this week? I'm not sure I did as I won't know until tomorrow if I advance to the next round of the playoffs in several leagues. But the antics of the Wizards and Jazz have not helped us out as both teams have important fantasy players and […]

Top Starting Pitcher Prospects: Fantasy Baseball Sleepers and Busts for 2025
Rookie starting pitchers often don't find success in their first big league season. For every Paul Skenes (okay, there haven't been many of those - ever), a dozen other rookies debut every season and pitch just okay or even poorly. Most rookie pitchers will be drafted late, except for a few highly-touted talents who are […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 3/21/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Normally, I might grumble about having three extra games on the FanDuel slate to break down, while DraftKings is only featuring the first seven games of the evening. But the late games are going to provide us plenty of solid plays and more options tonight, which might not be a bad thing with how funky […]

Last But Not Least! Fifth Starters With Upside - Fantasy Baseball Sleepers for 2025
One interesting way to judge MLB teams would be by the quality of their fifth starter. The best teams usually have depth in their starting rotation and might have a guy in their fifth slot who could be the second or third-best pitcher on a lesser team's staff. Fifth starters are diverse, from rookies trying […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 3/19/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We haven't had a slate like this in a while! There are 11 games on the docket tonight and an absolutely loaded player pool, thanks to major mismatches and value that has opened up with injuries and players resting. I always make it a point to recommend some higher-priced players for cash games and GPPs […]

Identifying Elite Fantasy Baseball Pitchers for Drafts - Plate Discipline Metrics Studs
One of the reasons I love fantasy baseball so much is that it allows me to crunch numbers and data more than other sports. Baseball is such a stat-driven sport and there's no shortage of statistics to examine, especially now in the days of Statcast, PitchFX, and Stuff+. For my final deep stat dive of […]

Noteworthy Spring Training News for Fantasy Baseball Drafts - Hot/Cold Players, Injury Concerns
We get a few games that count starting tomorrow as MLB continues the tradition of starting a week early with the Tokyo series. The rest of the league has another week's worth of games before making their final cuts and heading north for Opening Day. Spring training results are fun to track, but should we […]

Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Breakout Picks - Dan Palyo's Mid-Round Values
Pitching, pitching, and more pitching - you can't have enough of it as the long season often leads to the inevitable injuries as arms wear down. I am a little obsessed with pitching; I'll admit it. While I'd like to go after some elite arms early in fantasy baseball drafts, this season, I think I […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 20 (2024-25): March 17 - March 23
The fantasy basketball playoffs are in full swing for many leagues and even the late-starters are set to begin this week. Frustration with players resting and schedules being tough to predict is mounting and I was a victim of it myself just this week with Utah and the Walker Kessler drama. My best advice is […]

Deeper Starting Pitcher Fantasy Baseball Sleepers - Later-Round Draft Values
Building a winning fantasy baseball roster usually involves capitalizing on relative value throughout the drafts, particularly toward the end of the draft. The saying goes that you can't win a draft in the first few rounds, but you can lose it -- right? So, targeting players with safer floors and more predictable outcomes early makes […]

Building The Perfect Starting Pitcher - Fantasy Baseball Value Picks and Studs (2025)
I am constantly hunting for fantasy baseball starting pitcher targets with upside that I can target outside the top 100 picks yearly. This year I conducted another little research project of sorts in my never-ending quest for unearthing starting pitching talent in the middle and later rounds of 2025 fantasy baseball drafts. Below you'll find […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 3/12/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We get all nine NBA games on the FanDuel slate tonight, including the two late games that DraftKings isn't including in their slate. Navigating these slates lately has been incredibly difficult, and I won't lie. But if you are willing to dig into the best spots first thing in the morning and then prepare to […]

Post-Hype Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Breakout Candidates for 2025
We all do it - we drool over the next big pitching prospect set to make their big league debut. But for every Paul Skenes or Stephen Strasburg debut that wows us, there are dozens of underwhelming results from other highly touted prospects. And most of the time, these pitchers end up back down in […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 19 (2024-25): March 10 - March 16
For many of you, the playoffs have arrived! There's no use holding onto injured players (without IL spots) when every game matters in H2H matchups! Planning out your moves and making timely adds will be crucial this week, especially with so many teams (both playoff teams and tanking teams) resting players so often. Most leagues […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Friday, 3/7/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Oklahoma City is resting all of its regulars (maybe Chet Holmgren, too—stay tuned), and we have multiple other stud players on the shelf tonight in what is quickly becoming the norm in the NBA this month. Buckle up for tonight's eight-game NBA DFS slate on FanDuel; it's going to get weird! I always make it […]

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Thursday, 3/6/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
After a wild slate last night with some high-scoring lineups due to all the value that emerged late in the day, we are back for a six-game slate on Thursday night that should be (fingers crossed) less eventful in terms of the number of players sitting out. Let's dive in and find some good options […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 3/5/25): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
When you scroll through the players on this slate, it may seem like there are more players injured than available for tonight's games. That's pretty much par for the course this time of year, and it forces us to embrace backups and younger players - even at prices we aren't used to paying - when […]

SIERA Overachievers - Identifying Fantasy Baseball Pitchers Worth Fading in 2025
With fantasy baseball draft season approaching, it's time to embark on my annual journey to find which starting pitchers to target and fade this year. One of my favorite exercises is analyzing the SIERA of starters to identify pitchers with an ERA last season that was not truly reflective of their overall effectiveness. SIERA is […]

My quest to find the best starting pitching options for fantasy baseball every year is renewed again in 2025!
