MiLB Stats: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball

Once you've grown accustomed to having advanced tools to help make fantasy decisions, it can feel disorientating to be without them.

Kyle Busch Winds Up Sixth In Wild Ride At Daytona

Kyle Busch never truly factored in at the end of the race because he fell a bit too far back. The No. 18 car led 28 laps earlier in the race. The younger Busch in the final 12 laps did draw closer and closer. However, he still finished behind a slew of Fords. The Joe […]

Chase Briscoe mostly avoided the big wrecks during the Daytona 500 and put himself in a position to at least contend. He did a bit more than that as Briscoe finished in third place. All around the last lap carnage, the No. 14 car just missed winning by less than a tenth of a second […]

Josiah Gray: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

In order to get, you have to give. That's how it works in the MLB trade market at least.

Outfielders to Fade - 2022 ADP Busts

We love finding value when it comes to fantasy drafts. We love it so much that we've made the term "sleeper" almost meaningless, throwing it around in all sorts of situations.

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play In All-Star Game

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's All-Star game. It appears Mitchell is dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out.
