Will Ty Gibbs Break Out Of His Slump At Talladega?

Ty Gibbs will start P15 in Sunday's Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Since starting out the season with an impressive five top-10 finishes in the first six races, Gibbs has finished 13th or worse over the last three weeks.

Is Austin Dillon A Must Play On Superspeedways?

On Saturday afternoon, Austin Dillon qualified fifth for the Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Because of his two Cup wins and his nine top 10 finishes at Daytona, Dillon has earned a reputation for being a solid restrictor plate racer. Despite his impressive performances at The World Center of Racing, he has not had the […]

LeBron James Cleared For Game 1

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Nuggets. There wasn't much doubt regarding his availability for the series opener, especially since he's battled a nagging ankle injury for months. James is coming off a few potent performances. That trend could continue, with the multi-time All-Star averaging 24.0 points, 7.0 […]

Anthony Davis Available On Saturday For Game 1

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) will play in Saturday's game versus the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as questionable because of a back issue, although there wasn't any doubt regarding his availability for Game 1. With that in mind, AD has had trouble in three meetings with the champs this season, at least […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Officially Doubtful For Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's postseason battle with the Indiana Pacers. Although the injury report suggests he has a chance to play, he likely won't be out there for Game 1. In fact, his absence could extend beyond Sunday's contest. Fortunately, Damian Lillard (groin) is off the injury report, […]

Joel Embiid Exits Matchup With The Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) exited Saturday's postseason meeting with the Knicks. The reigning MVP went up for a dunk late in the second quarter.

Justin Verlander Picks Up Win In Season Debut

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander went six innings in his season debut on Friday and picked up the win in a 5-3 victory over the Nationals. The veteran hurler allowed two earned runs on four hits (one HR) and didn't walk a batter while striking out four. It looks like the 41-year-old won't miss […]

Tanner Scott Picks Up Third Save Of Season On Saturday

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his third save of the season in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Scott gave up two singles to start the ninth but then retired the next three batter to avoid damage and seal the win without giving up a run. The 29-year-old hasn't gotten many opportunities […]

Zach Eflin Shutouts Yankees On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zach Eflin threw six shutout innings and struck out six in the Rays 2-0 extra innings win over the New York Yankees on Saturday. Though Eflin only gave up three hits, Tampa Bay's offense didn't show up until extra innings and prevented Eflin from picking up a deserved win. The […]

Nestor Cortes Stays Sharp In Start On Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes struck out nine in seven shutout innings on Saturday in the Yankees 2-0 extra innings loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Cortes didn't walk a single batter but gave up six hits. It was the lefty's second-best start of the season but he unfortunately didn't record a win […]

Max Scherzer Set For Rehab Start On Wednesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) is slated for a rehab start on Wednesday. Scherzer recovered well from his live batting practice session and the team feels comfortable enough to move him forward in his recovery process. The expectation is that Scherzer may be ready to return to the Rangers' rotation in early May. […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Price Check - Tony Pollard (2024)

Tony Pollard had a season to remember in 2022, as he performed better than Ezekiel Elliott despite Elliott being the starter. Pollard made the Pro Bowl that year, reminiscent of the late Cowboys RB Marion Barber making the Pro Bowl in 2007 despite Julius Jones being the starter. In 2008, the Cowboys moved on from […]

Alex Bowman a Tournament DFS Option at Talladega

Don't be afraid to roll the dice with Alex Bowman in your DFS contests this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has posted top-10 finishes in four of his last eleven starts at this track along with 13th- and 14th-place finishes during that same span. He will roll off the grid from 12th in this weekend's […]

Chris Buescher Could Contend at Talladega This Weekend

Look for Chris Buescher to potentially be a factor in the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. He ended up with a third-place result in this race last season and has finished sixth or better in three of the last eight races at this track. Additionally, Buescher's No. 17 Ford has been strong at […]

Triston Casas Experiencing Left Rib Discomfort

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is experiencing "left rib discomfort" according to the Red Sox. Not much other detail was given by the team in regards to Casas' injury. The 24-year-old exited the game in the first inning after grabbing at his left side during an at-bat. Though Casas was able to draw […]

Chase Elliott Always Strong at Daytona

Last week's NASCAR Cup Series race winner, Chase Elliott, is looking to go back-to-back this weekend in the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway--and it wouldn't be surprising if NASCAR's most popular driver pulled it off. Chase is a two-time winner at Talladega (2019 and 2022) and has finished seventh or better in three of the […]

Jared Walsh Designated for Assignment

Texas Rangers first baseman Jared Walsh was designated for assignment on Saturday. The move was correlated with activating Nathaniel Lowe off of the injured list. Walsh hit below league average in his early season stint, slashing .226/.317/.321 in 60 PA and has been a subpar hitter since his breakout years in 2020 and 2021. With […]

Ryan Blaney One of the Favorites to Win at Talladega

Sportsbooks have pegged Ryan Blaney as one of the favorites to win the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, and for good reason: last year's Cup Series Champion has finished first or second in each of the last three races at this track and has led a total of 283 laps in his career […]

Chase Briscoe Looking to Continue Momentum at Talladega

Chase Briscoe believes that his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team is further ahead and they've ever been, and the results point to that being true. Coming off the worst season of his career in 2023, Briscoe currently sits 12th in the points standings with an average finish of 14.6 through the first nine races. For […]

Texas Rangers Activate Nathaniel Lowe Off Injured List

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) was activated off the injured list today and is in the Rangers lineup for their tilt against the Atlanta Braves. Lowe has been out since early March after experiencing side tightness during spring training. The 28-year-old will bat fifth in his season debut against Braves right-hander Charlie Morton. […]

Triston Casas Exits Game Early On Saturday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas exited early in the Red Sox game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Casas took a swing on a 3-1 count in the top of the first, fouled the ball off and then appeared to grab at his left side. Casas eventually drew a walk and still ran […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Back In Lineup On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand is back in the Reds lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Encarnacion-Strand had been out the last two games with a scheduled day off on Wednesday and an illness on Friday. The 24-year-old will get a matchup against Angels lefty Patrick Sandoval. Encarnacion-Strand has struggled this season, […]

Cedric Mullins Out Of Lineup Against Lefty On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is out of the Orioles lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a matchup decision as the Royals are starting their dynamic lefty Cole Ragans. Jorge Mateo will be starting in center field in place of Mullins. Mateo has been much stronger against lefties, hitting […]

Kyle Busch Could Win at Talladega, But He's a Very Risky DFS Play

Kyle Busch could definitely contend for the win in this weekend's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, but that doesn't make him a slam-dunk DFS play. Rowdy qualified fourth for this weekend's race at 'Dega, and while he did win this event one year ago (in addition to finish third the year prior), Busch will likely […]

Jackson Holliday, Colton Cowser Out Of Lineup On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday and outfielder Colton Cowser are out of the Orioles lineup on Saturday against Kansas City Royals lefty Cole Ragans. Holliday has had a rough start to his MLB career, hitting for a .037 batting average in 28 PA. Cowser has been Baltimore's best hitter, on the other hand, posting […]

Corey Lajoie Has Upside at Talladega This Weekend

Corey Lajoie has cemented himself as one of the better superspeedway racers in the NASCAR Cup Series, which means you often have to look his way when the series stops at Daytona or Talladega. And that's exactly the case this weekend with the GEICO 500. Lajoie qualified 31st for this weekend's race, and at just […]

Royce Lewis Begins Baseball Activities

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (quadriceps) has started to begin baseball activities according to the Twins head trainer Nick Paparesta. "We're looking to get him in a running progression probably the end of next week. He's still got some boxes to check, but heading in the right direction," the trainer said. No timetable has […]
