Kyle Gibson Lit Up For Eight Runs At Miami

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Gibson had a rough night in Miami on Friday as he allowed eight earned runs across 5 1/3 innings to the Marlins. Yikes, that's not what fantasy managers were expecting in one of the best matchups you could ask for on paper. That's why they play the games, however, and […]

Left-handers of the world unite! In this week's column we're going heavy on the southpaws, as only one of the five pitchers featured is a right-hander.

Bullpen Report: Navigating the Final Month

The baseball season has flown by and just like that we are in the home stretch. You hear all the time that the season is a sprint and not a marathon, but as someone who ran cross country in high school, I can tell you that even long races become a sprint towards the end. […]

Chris Buescher Another DFS Good Look at Darlington

Chris Buescher begins Sunday at Darlington all the way down in 34th position. That is partly because of last week's manifold disqualification. The sad part for the Roush Fenwick Racing driver was Daytona represented his best drive of the season. He almost edged out Ryan Blaney for the win. Buescher ran well in the Spring […]

Matt DiBenedetto Worth Place Differential Flier At Darlington

Matt DiBenedetto was one of the better drivers over the last month or so once his crew chief was changed. The Wood Brothers Racing driver begins Sunday all the way down at 30th. DiBenedetto has three top-15 finishes at Darlington over his previous five appearances. Now, leading a lap has a zero chance of happening […]

Austin Dillon Looks to What's Next at Darlington

Austin Dillon ended up 17th in the regular-season standings and just missed out on the playoffs. Not winning a race, in the end, was his undoing there. On the bright side, Dillon should hopefully finish at Darlington. He has crashed out of his last three races but has been running at the end of every […]

Bubba Wallace Carrying Momentum Into Darlington

Bubba Wallace is riding high after a second-place result at Daytona last weekend. Okay, really it was third due to the Chris Buescher disqualification. On the other hand, that does not diminish the fact that Wallace is gaining a better handling of his Team 23XI Racing car. He has finished on the lead lap in […]

Kevin Harvick with Little to Lose at Darlington

Kevin Harvick held on to the final spot for the NASCAR playoffs. He has just two playoff points going into "The Chase". For perspective, Kyle Larson has 52.

Tyler Reddick a Question Mark at Cook Out Southern 500

Tyler Reddick held off Austin Dillon by being more patient last week at Daytona. His fifth-place finish sealed a playoff spot and his first one at that. Darlington has been a bit of a mixed bag for Reddick. In four races there, he has finished on the lead lap twice. The Spring race saw him […]

Aric Almirola's Recent Consistency May Work at Darlington

Aric Almirola won at New Hampshire then followed that up with four straight finishes of 19th place or better. That was enough to help the driver make "The Chase" for the first time. The young Stewart-Haas Racing driver will now see the intensity of the final ten races firsthand. He crashed out in the opening […]

Michael McDowell May Struggle at Darlington

Michael McDowell qualified for the playoffs behind the season-opening win at Daytona. What is crazier is that McDowell has not led ten or more laps once in 2021. Also, he never factored into the spring race at Darlington dropping from 13th to 27th (finished five laps down). McDowell has also never finished in the top-15 […]

Christopher Bell New to the Playoffs as Darlington Beckons

This is Christopher Bell's second full season and first in the NASCAR Playoff. He starts 13th at Darlington on Sunday evening.
