Tyler Reddick Likely to Run Worse Than Expected

Tyler Reddick is currently having a pretty overrated season. As compared to 2022 and to a lesser extent 2023 when he had blinding speed and was a lethal passer but was also both unlucky and mistake-prone, and 2024 when he seemed less dominant but drove more smoothly, he now seems to be combining the sloppy […]

Joey Logano's Team Will Likely Ignore Nashville After He Locked Into the Playoffs

Although Joey Logano won at Nashville Superspeedway last year, don't expect him to repeat that performance this year, as his performance in last year's race was very mediocre. He was only running 14th with two laps left in regulation when his teammate Austin Cindric won, but he ended up inheriting the lead because he could […]

Kyle Busch's Loss of Intermediate Speed This Year Will Likely Foil Him at Nashville

Although Nashville Superspeedway did not become a part of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule until after Kyle Busch's elite period ended, Busch has still been a solid performer here, even if it hasn't been reflected in his finishes. He led 10 or more laps in each of his first three starts despite never finishing better […]

Despite Improved Qualifying Speed, Chris Buescher Seems Much Slower in Races

Although 10th-place Nashville starter Chris Buescher got a bit of a reprieve as his penalty from the Kansas race was reduced from 60 points to 30, he's still having a somewhat baffling season. The once-poor qualifier is having a career year in qualifying with the second-best average start, but is simultaneously running a lot worse […]

Team Penske's Firing of Austin Cindric's Dad May Hurt the No. 2 Team's Morale

After delivering his teammate Joey Logano the ultimate gift last year in Nashville when his spinout with two laps remaining allowed Logano to climb from 14th to back into the playoffs after five overtimes, that will likely forever define his career here. Although Cindric finished 7th as a rookie, he has never had an average […]

Ryan Preece an Underrated DFS Option Given His Impressive Passing This Year

Ryan Preece has been this year's biggest positive surprise as after years of mediocrity, he has been seemingly consistently faster than his more highly-regarded teammates Chris Buescher and his boss Brad Keselowski and is even beating them in points despite being disqualified from his apparent second-place finish at Talladega. Although Preece finished fourth in last […]

Passing Will Likely Prove Too Difficult for Noah Gragson to Have DFS Value

Although Noah Gragson has had a pretty invisible season, he shockingly ran in the top 10 for most of last week's Coca-Cola 600, and this week at Nashville, he's coming to a track where he did finish in the top 10 last year. However, that deserves a giant-size asterisk in that race, as he was […]

Michael McDowell Qualifies Too Well for DFS Consideration

Although Michael McDowell starts eighth on Sunday at Nashville, this has not been one of his better tracks in general as he has never finished better than 13th nor posted a better average finish than 14th, so he will likely lose positions in the race. The Spire Motorsports cars have seemed to have a significant […]

Erik Jones Probably Starting Too Well for Place-Differential Points

Erik Jones and his Legacy Motor Club teammate John Hunter Nemechek have definitely seemed to pick up speed on intermediate tracks in recent weeks and although Jones has still been rather anonymous, he has seemed to regain his strong passing abilities from before his Talladega injury this year to some extent. He starts 14th today […]

Corey Heim Unlikely to Match 23XI Racing Teammates' Speed at Nashville

Although Corey Heim is only making his fifth NASCAR Cup Series start at Nashville on Sunday, he actually finished last year's race where he started and finished 29th. Last year's race was so chaotic and unrepresentative that it's necessary to look at average running positions to predict this year's speed. While Heim's average running position […]

Cole Custer Likely Needs Strategy Shakeup to Have DFS Value at Nashville

Cole Custer makes his return to Nashville after his two-year return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, starting from the 29th position on Sunday evening. In his two previous starts at Nashville, Custer actually qualified pretty well, starting seventh in 2021 and 17th in 2022 before eventually falling to 31st and 26th, respectively. His average running […]

Ty Dillon Likely Needs Another Chaotic Nashville Race to Contend

Ty Dillon qualified 31st for Sunday's race at Nashville Superspeedway, which is consistent with his 31st- and 32nd-place finishes in his two previous Nashville starts in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Since he got lapped multiple times in both races, it's hard to envision Dillon gaining enough positions to obtain sufficient place-differential points to be worth […]

A difficult golf course mixed with every element Mother Nature can unleash has been the story this week in Dublin, Ohio, for the Memorial Tournament.

Spencer Schwellenbach Punches Out 11 in Win Over Red Sox

Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach (4-4) picked up his fourth win of the season in a 5-0 decision against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Schwellenbach celebrated his 25th birthday by striking out 11 over 6 1/3 innings, issuing no walks, and allowing just five hits (all singles). It was the second straight start with […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Homers in Two-Hit Game on Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. smashed his third home run of the season in a 5-0 win against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Acuna delivered a 428-foot two-run shot against right-hander Walker Buehler in the fourth inning. It was part of a 2-for-3 showing for Acuna, who singled, walked, and scored an additional […]

Michael Wacha Brilliant Against Tigers on Saturday

Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Wacha shut down the Detroit Tigers with seven innings of one-hit ball in a 1-0 victory on Saturday. The 33-year-old carried a no-hitter into the seventh, but a Colt Keith single put an end to the hurler's bid for history. Wacha (3-4) left in a scoreless tie, so he didn't […]

Tarik Skubal Spins Another Gem on Saturday

Detroit Tigers left-handed ace Tarik Skubal continued rolling on Saturday, firing seven scoreless innings against the Kansas City Royals. The Tigers lost 1-0, but Skubal (5-2) did not factor into the decision. The reigning American League Cy Young winner limited the Royals to two hits, racked up seven strikeouts, and didn't walk anyone. Saturday's masterclass […]

Rhys Hoskins Homers Twice, Drives in Six in Win Over Phillies

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins was among a few offensive stars in their 17-7 outburst against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Hoskins torched his former team, going 2-for-6 with a pair of three-run homers against left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Saturday's performance continued a nice bounce-back campaign for Hoskins, who had the worst season of his […]

Juan Soto Snaps 17-Game Home Run Drought

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto broke a 17-game home run drought on Saturday to help the club to an 8-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Soto, who hadn't gone yard since May 9, delivered a 404-foot solo shot against Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela in the fourth inning. He finished the day 1-for-3 with a […]

Jeremy Pena Goes Deep Twice on Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena was a rare bright spot for the team in a 16-3 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. Pena drove in all of the Astros' runs on a couple of homers against right-hander Zack Littell during a 2-for-3 afternoon, extending his hitting streak to seven games. This is […]

Jesus Luzardo Has Disastrous Day in Loss to Brewers

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo (5-1) took his first loss of the season in a 17-7 beating at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Luzardo lasted just 3 1/3 innings and allowed a stunning 12 earned runs on 12 hits with four strikeouts and three walks. He surrendered a pair of three-run homers […]

Jurrangelo Cijntje Exits with Apparent Arm Injury

Seattle Mariners switch-handed pitching prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje (right arm) exited his start on Saturday with an apparent injury. The 22-year-old was making his 12th High-A appearance (ninth start) of the season. He was replaced by Jordan Jackson with zero outs in the third inning. At the time of his departure, he had surrendered one run, […]

Blue Jays Calling Up Davis Schneider

The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to call up left fielder Davis Schneider prior to Sunday's game against the Athletics, according to Ari Alexander of KPRC. Schneider had an impressive 1.007 OPS during his rookie campaign in 2023, but he has struggled at the major league level ever since. He recorded just one hit through […]

Adolis Garcia Could Continue to Rest

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (rest) will be given "as many days off as he needs to unearth his best form," according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since Wednesday without a disclosed injury. As McFarland notes, if Garcia doesn't play Sunday, he will have sat for five […]

Bryce Harper Swings and Throws Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (elbow) threw a ball and swung a bat on Saturday, according to Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic. He has been sidelined since last Tuesday but appears to be trending in the right direction. Not only did he participate in some baseball activities today, but manager Rob Thomson also said […]

Nashville DraftKings NASCAR Lineup Picks and Projections (Premium Content)

The second half of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series regular season kicks off this weekend with the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. This is a relatively new race track to the Cup Series and is quite unique, but more on that a little later. This weekend's Cracker Barrel 400 will be a Sunday night […]

Zack Littell Throws Complete Game

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zack Littell took the mound and never left during Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. Littell got hit around early by allowing two home runs to Jeremy Pena. After that, Littell settled down and kept the Astros off the board again. The Rays offense went insane and scored 16 runs, […]

Junior Caminero Homers Twice in Win

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero has put together an incredible outing at the plate during their series against the Houston Astros. Caminero collected three hits, one homer, and knocked in six runs during the series opener. On Saturday, Caminero went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two home runs, and five RBI in the blowout […]
