Kevin Harvick Might Have Tiny Bit Of DFS Upside At Talladega

Kevin Harvick has a half dozen top-ten finishes on the 2021 season but has not cracked the winners' circle. The expectation is that he will not this Sunday at Talladega. However, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver could lead some laps as he has in three of the previous four Spring races (including two last year). In […]

Jayson Tatum Enjoys 38-Point Night Versus Brooklyn

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored a game-high 38 points on 14-for-27 shooting in Friday's 109-104 loss to Brooklyn. Marcus Smart was the only other starter to get into double figures as he finished with 19 points on 7-for-17 shooting. Both Kemba Walker (rest) and Jaylen Brown (shoulder) were missing, which gave Tatum all the […]

Austin Dillon May Not Spring Into Contention At Talladega

Austin Dillon starts 11th on Sunday at Talladega for the Geico 500. However, the Richard Childress Racing driver has crashed four times in his last eight appearances on the 2.66-mile track. Since his third-place finish during the 2016 Spring race, Dillon has finished 36th, 35th, 14th, and 39th. That inspires little confidence and Dillon has […]

Kyle Larson Not Recommended For Talladega This Week

Kyle Larson and Talladega do not mix. He has just two top-ten finishes on the track and has crashed in three of the previous four races. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has finished on the lead lap just six times. That is a true coin flip for someone starting 12th on Sunday. Place differential […]

Anze Kopitar Remains Hot In Front Of Goal

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar scored the team's second goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota, joining Trevor Moore among the goal-scorers. He found the back of the net for the third time in four games. The Kings have had a pretty rough ride again this term, but Kopitar has played very well throughout […]

Kirill Kaprizov Continues Goal Streak Friday Night

Minnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov scored twice in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Kings, stretching his goal streak to four games. Nico Sturm scored in a second consecutive game and Joel Eriksson Ek wrapped things up with his 15th marker of the season. Kaprizov, who is the top-scoring rookie this year, has 21 goals and […]

Aric Almirola Dicey DFS Pick At Talladega For Sunday

Aric Almirola finished sixth last week at Richmond but has crashed three times in nine races this season. Before last Fall's crash on lap 57 at the 2.66-mile tri-oval, Almirola enjoyed eight consecutive top-ten finishes at Talladega. That included a win in 2018 where he led the only lap that mattered -- the last one. […]

Matt DiBenedetto Building Towards Showing DFS Upside At Talladega

Matt DiBenedetto has been improving steadily in 2021. Though he has not led a lap all season, DiBenedetto finished ninth at Richmond last Sunday -- his best result of the year. Starting 13th should be a help to the Wood Brothers Racing driver. Talladega has been rough on DiBenedetto but he started 13th in last […]

Nick Castellanos Hits Seventh Homer

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos went 1-for-5 with a solo homer and two strikeouts in a 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Overall, Castellanos is putting together an excellent first month of the season, slashing .292/.320/.653 with seven homers, […]

Brad Keselowski A True Wildcard At Talladega on Sunday

It is rare to say but Brad Keselowski could finish anywhere at Talladega on Sunday. That can be said about every driver but Keselowski is a true wildcard. He is willing to take risks like the Team Penske racer did last week at Richmond. That backfired but Keselowski did lead 25 laps in all before […]

Sonny Gray Fails To Make It Out Of The Fourth Inning

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray struggled in a 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Gray allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings while striking out six and walking three. The veteran hurler was done in by a four-run third inning in which he gave up two doubles to the Cardinals. Gray took […]

Kyle Busch Not Such A Good DFS Pick At Talladega

Kyle Busch had a rough 2020 on the Talladega Superspeedway. He finished outside the top-25 in both races and crashed out late in the Fall race. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started third and sixth respectively but fell out of contention twice. The question is does he have the race car to even stay in […]

Chase Elliott Tries To Break Through In 2021 At Talladega

Chase Elliott has not taken a checkered flag in 2021 after winning the NASCAR Cup Series last year. Elliott nearly won at Martinsville but finished outside of the top ten last week at Martinsville. That only added frustration for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver as he is their only driver to not win a race […]

Ryan Blaney One To Watch At Talladega on Sunday

Ryan Blaney may be one of the few drivers to have Talladega dialed in so to speak. He has won two of the last three races at the track. He was a victim of a crash during the Fall race last season but Blaney won the Spring race. The Team Penske driver led 63 laps […]
