LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/27: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Last night was as close as I thought it would be, and we did see some more one-off lineups take the day. Both of my underdogs fell short in a sad way. V5 with some poor calls around the herald, and BLG with another questionably draft in game one. Gloomy days indeed, but with a […]

Examining The Most Effective Pitches in Baseball

There is just nothing better in sports than Baseball Savant. We can derive almost any insight we want from their pitch-by-pitch dataset. One challenge I wanted to take a crack at was to see if I could find which individual pitches in baseball are most effective regardless of who throws it, just looking at pitch type […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/26/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have another smaller slate for our FanDuel slates tonight. Despite the small slate, we still have some good teams to choose from. However, good teams don't always mean good players.

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 20: English Premier League

Liverpool's first home league defeat in 68 games cost us a sweep and the parlay, but the first two picks of matchweek 19 (part 2) did net us profit for the slate. Matchweek 20 offers up a full 10-game midweek fixture list and the first set of games between sides who met earlier in the […]

Digging Into K% Leaders - Ketel Marte

There are so many metrics that exist to evaluate player performance, it can sometimes be tough to know which way to go with it. There are the very basic stats we all grew up with: batting average, runs batted in, home runs, and maybe on-base percentage. We also know that they are not the most […]

I couldn't come up with my usual pun, which was exSTREAMly frustrating! As always my dear fellow fantasy enthusiasts, I am here to take a look at the following week's NBA schedule, pinpoint days that will be difficult to navigate with a decent amount of playing guys, and suggest some options based on teams that […]

Jameson Taillon to the Yankees - Fantasy Impact

After bolstering their rotation with the signing of Corey Kluber last week, the New York Yankees acquired another starter over the weekend as they shipped off four prospects to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Jameson Taillon. Here's how that deal broke down: Yankees receive: RHP Jameson Taillon Pirates receive: RHP Roansy Contreras, RHP Miguel Yajure, INF Maikol Escotto, […]

Kirby Yates to the Blue Jays - Fantasy Impact

The Toronto Blue Jays made a trio of free-agent signings over the last week. The big news of course was outfielder George Springer signing a six-year deal with Toronto (for more on that check out Frank Ammirante's analysis of Springer's fantasy impact in 2021). But the other big acquisition for the Blue Jays was landing […]

LPL DFS Picks for 1/26: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I knew I should have left well enough alone last night, but lock was too far away, and the longer I sat at work, the more lineups I talked myself into. That was sub-optimal, to say the least, as it would have taken me a day and a half to punt mid lane to be […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 6

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Wide Receiver Free Agent Fantasy Fits (Part 1)

With just three games remaining in the 2020 NFL season, it is time to shift our fantasy focus to free agents and teams looking to fill needs from a fantasy perspective. Ultimately only one team can win the Super Bowl every season, but there will be 32 teams trying to win this offseason to put […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Another week of NBA action is upon us. Did y'all see the Cleveland Cavaliers win back-to-back games against Brooklyn this week? Is Cleveland...a playoff team? Is it too early for me to be suggesting that? Will they still trade Andre Drummond at some point to open up more minutes for Jarrett Allen? We'll see, I […]

Starting Pitcher Breakouts Who Will Keep Improving

Playing only 60 games in 2020 was sure to result in some wacky outcomes. The league leaders in innings were barely cracking 80 innings, less than a third of the usual. This resulted in some final pitching lines that certainly would not have remained the same had there been 100 more innings added to the […]
