Ryan Preece Begins 22nd For Sonoma

Ryan Preece and Kevin Harvick qualified with the same identical time of 78.68 seconds for the Toyota Save Mart 350. By "microns" of a second, Harvick was awarded 21st and Preece 22nd. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver is mired in 26th in the points without a single top ten effort. That also is marred by four […]

Pistons Expected To Pick Up Option On Alec Burks

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Alec Burks is set to remain in Motown for the 2023-24 campaign, with NBA insider Michael Scotto noting that the Pistons are expected to pick up the $10.5 million team option on his contract. Burks' performances were one of the few positives for Detroit during a miserable 17-65 campaign, as the 31-year-old […]

Bubba Wallace Does Not Enjoy Sonoma

Bubba Wallace cannot seem to get much in the way of results at Sonoma. He did qualify 18th for Sunday's race which is good for the 23XI Racing driver. From engines to poor pit stops and penalties, Wallace has had three results outside the top 30. He was 15th in 2021 but that was on […]

Joey Logano Begins Outside Top 15 For Sonoma

Joey Logano will start the Toyota Save Mart 350 from the 17th position on Sunday. The Team Penske driver usually starts around the top ten but lost several tenths particularly on the middle sections of the track. The 1.99-mile course runs a little differently even compared to last year. He has never won the road […]

Frank Vogel Wants To Take Deandre Ayton Back To All-Star Level

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton is highly regarded by new head coach Frank Vogel, who looks forward to working with him and helping Ayton to become one of the best big men in the NBA. "There's still areas that he can grow offensively, but I'm intent on really connecting with him and restoring him to […]

Brad Keselowski Endured A Bad Saturday At Sonoma

Brad Keselowski probably wished he could skip right to Sunday at Sonoma. The RFK Racing driver will begin 25th for the Toyota Save Mart 350. His No. 6 car was just bleeding tenths of a second on his qualifying lap as he lost 1.261 seconds to Denny Hamlin. Worse, he was a half second off […]

Toyota / Save Mart 350 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel NASCAR Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks

The NASCAR Cup Series hits the west coast this weekend with the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. In shocking news, Kyle Larson isn't on the pole for this race, something that never happens here. Really—the last time Larson wasn't on pole here was 2016, and he's never started outside the top five […]

Erik Jones Trying To Salvage Something At Sonoma

Erik Jones is another driver enjoying a far less than ideal 2023. Jones and his Legacy Motor Club car have been disappointing. Saturday's qualifying did not help as the No. 43 Chevy was more than a second off from former teammate Denny Hamlin. That put Jones in 28th. To be fair, Jones has started in […]

Raptors To Hire Darko Rajakovic As New Head Coach

The Toronto Raptors are set to name Darko Rajakovic as the team's new head coach. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Rajakovic was offered the job on Saturday and the sides are finalizing a contract that's expected to be completed soon. Rajakovic will be moving to Canada after spending the previous three years as an assistant […]

Kevin Harvick And His Sonoma Swan Song

Kevin Harvick did not have the best Saturday in terms of qualifying. His Stewart-Haas Racing car wound up 21st in a virtual tie with Ryan Preece at 78.68 seconds. That was 0.961 seconds off pole-sitter Denny Hamlin. Harvick was 25th in practice and those times were a couple of seconds slower yet. He did finish […]

Chase Briscoe May Struggle Some More At Sonoma

Chase Briscoe has not seen his 2023 go quite as planned. The No. 14 Ford qualified 24th for Sonoma which is bad enough. However, Briscoe needs results considering he is now 31st in the driver standings. Penalties hurt especially when they dock so many points. Worse, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver does not have those notable […]

Jake Burger (3B, CWS) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although the White Sox have begun to climb themselves out of the early hole they've dug themselves in, Jake Burger has been a lone bright spot in an otherwise mediocre season for Chicago.

Nolan Jones (1B/OF, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nolan Jones has always been intriguing.

The Langhorne, Pennsylvania native debuted with Cleveland, the team that selected him 55th overall in 2022. The Guardians […]

Alex Bowman Another Tale Of Two Results At Sonoma

Alex Bowman has been fast in the past at Sonoma. He has two ninth-place results in his past four efforts. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver begins 14th on Sunday. That is right around his starts in three of the last four races on the California track. Bowman likes the 1.99-mile course and has some road […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. A Slight Wildcard At Sonoma

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. enjoyed a nice qualifying run on Saturday. He wound up 13th and not too far off from the top qualifiers at that. The one concern was some of the later turns on his lap where he lost a few tenths of a second. What does that translate into when it comes to […]

Jesus Sanchez (OF, MIA) - Fantasy Baseball Hitter Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 2022 was a disappointing showing for Jesus Sanchez, posting a .683 OPS with 13 home runs over 98 appearances. This season has been a completely different story, as he's slashing .286/.364/.543 with six home runs through 40 games. Sanchez's ownership has taken a […]

Kyle Busch Is Primed For Sonoma On Sunday

Kyle Busch is looking forward to this race at Sonoma and has for some time. He starts on Sunday from the 12th position but that may matter little. The Richard Childress Racing driver believes his No. 8 can win. Busch was running in the top three early last year before disaster struck dropping him eventually […]

Jack Suwinski (OF, PIT) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jack Suwinski's batting average continues to regress, but the power numbers and overall batted-ball profile are too good to ignore. He's slashing .238/.351/.500 with 12 home runs through 54 games this season. Suwinski strikes out at a horrible 32.3% rate while whiffing […]

Austin Dillon Qualifies Well At Sonoma

Austin Dillon starts the Toyota Save Mart 350 from the 11th spot on Sunday afternoon. Dillon has struggled quite a bit this season but he does fare well on the 1.99-mile California track. Dillon has results of 11th and 13th in his last two efforts. He even flirted with the top ten last year before […]

Joey Wiemer (OF, MIL) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The heralded prospect is finally starting to hit his stride in the majors. Joey Wiemer's overall numbers aren't terribly exciting, slashing .225/.297/.414 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases through 62 games played. However, he's caught fire recently, recording a hit […]

Chase Elliott In Decent Spot For Sonoma

Chase Elliott excels at moving up a field on a road course. He does have four wins in his past 15 road races but 2022 was a different story. However, at Sonoma, Elliott has a runner-up and eighth to his resume post-pandemic. Starting tenth for Sunday's race is not a bad thing for the Hendrick […]

Lamonte Wade Jr. (1B/OF, SF) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: LaMonte Wade Jr.'s breakout season continues to impress. He's slashing .279/.420/.463 with eight home runs through 61 games. Operating as the Giants' primary leadoff hitter, Wade is getting plenty of opportunities at the dish. Additionally, he has remained in the lineup more often […]

Chris Buescher Carries Some Speed At Sonoma

Chris Buescher qualified seventh for Sunday's race at Sonoma. The RFK Racing driver carried some of the speed that Brad Keselowski missed on his early efforts. Either way, the No. 17 car was awfully fast. Last year, Buescher was very quick during the second half of the race. He surged into the top three after […]

Luis Garcia (2B/SS, WAS) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What more does Luis Garcia need to do for some respect in fantasy? Perhaps play for a team better than the Nationals? Alas, Garcia is in Washington, and if no one else is paying attention, there's a buying opportunity on the 23-year-old second […]

Martin Truex Jr. Begins Eighth Sunday At Sonoma

Martin Truex Jr. was the fifth of five cars to make it into the top eight qualifying for Sunday's Toyota Save Mart 350. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver near the front on the road course may be a recipe for success. Typically, he finishes well. Aside from last year's mess where he started and finished […]

Ty Gibbs Begins Toyota Save Mart 350 Sixth On Sunday

Ty Gibbs was among five Toyota cars qualifying in the top eight spots for Sunday's race at Sonoma. There was some drop-off in their speed on longer runs but short runs were mostly led by Toyota.
