Emmanuel Clase Records Save Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase recorded his fifth save in Friday night's 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Clase faced the 7-1 hitters in this one as he allowed a leadoff single to Luis Robert to begin the ninth before retiring the next three hitters he faced. This appears to be the theme […]

Jose Ramirez Extends Hit Streak

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Friday night's 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Ramirez belted a solo shot in the eighth inning off White Sox reliever Evan Marshall to extend the Tribe's lead to 5-3, which would ultimately be the final score. Ramirez […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. One To Stay Away From At Kansas

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has faltered a good bit in his last three races finishing outside the top ten in each of them. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver wound up 33rd last week at Talladega after a rough afternoon. Furthermore, at Kansas, Stenhouse Jr. has ended up outside the top ten in every one of his […]

Alex Bowman Could Ride Hendrick Motorsports Wave At Kansas

A common theme this week is a lot of the "contenders" starting in positions they normally would not. Alex Bowman is no exception as the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver begins Sunday 25th. There is a little bit of hesitation here as Bowman has not finished two of the last three races. However, the one in […]

Joey Logano Motivated For Kansas Race With Positive DFS Value

Joey Logano had a rough week as he went airborne last week at Talladega after coming into contact with Denny Hamlin. Thankfully he was okay and is good to race this week at Kansas. Will that collision impact him any on Sunday? Probably not. Logano had a mixed bag of results last year on the […]

Kyle Larson Should Move Up Field Quickly On Sunday At Kansas

Kyle Larson starts all the way down at 32nd position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. That is no misprint. The piece of metal in his engine area last week caused him to bow out after just three laps. That 40th place finish resulted in a huge downturn in the metrics. That presents incredible […]

Chase Elliott Possesses Place Differential Chance On Sunday At Kansas

Chase Elliott's defense of his 2020 Cup Series win has been problematic from the beginning. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver struggled to get back on the lead lap last week at Talladega while finishing 24th. Between that and his 12th place finish at Richmond, Elliott starts all the way down in 17th at Kansas on […]

Denny Hamlin Carries Huge DFS Potential At Kansas On Sunday

Denny Hamlin's rough Sunday at Talladega helps this week at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts all the way down at 20th on Sunday. Up until Talladega, Hamlin had finished in the top five in six consecutive races padding his Cup Series lead. He got into several collisions last week and ended up three […]

Martin Truex Jr. Enjoys Rare Bonus DFS Upside On Sunday At Kansas

Martin Truex Jr. is not the only "dominator" that will benefit from a poorer than usual start position on Sunday at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver begins from 15th on the 1.5-mile track. Truex Jr. won at Martinsville and placed fifth at Richmond. Last week, he was involved in a nasty wreck that took […]

Bubba Wallace Doesn't Have Same Potential As Last Week At Kansas

Bubba Wallace had a wild ride at Talladega. He even won Stage 2 of the race for his first stage win in his career. That glory was short-lived as the 23XI Racing driver fell backward to the 19th position when the race was done. Furthermore, Wallace enters this week 13th which limits any place differential […]

Ryan Preece Not Expected To Be Factor At Kansas On Sunday

Ryan Preece enjoyed a nice run at Talladega last week as he led nine laps and finished in 14th. The +15 place differential caught the eye of a few in the DFS world. However, this week he starts 12th at Kansas. Three of his first four races on the 1.5-mile track have ended poorly for […]

Tyler Reddick Has Little Positive DFS Value On Sunday At Kansas

Tyler Reddick has three top-ten finishes in his last four races but Kansas was unkind to him in 2020. He finished in 13th and 25th. Reddick did not factor much in the final laps of either race and lost track position. Last Spring's race saw him fall out of the top ten and that could […]

Cole Custer May Maintain Some Track Position Sunday At Kansas

Cole Custer finished in the top ten last week at Talladega which played a heavy part in the NASCAR metrics system this week. The result is a tenth-place start on Sunday for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. In two races at Kansas last year, Custer finished seventh and 14th. He was able to maintain track position […]

Kyle Busch Has Some intrigue On His Side At Kansas

The question is which Kyle Busch do we see on Sunday at Kansas. Do we see the driver that finished in the top ten in the last two Fall races at Kansas or the driver that struggled late in the Spring versions of the event. It's a great question. If one goes back to the […]

Christopher Bell May Not Have Much DFS Upside Sunday

Christopher Bell had some promise with a seventh in Martinsville and a fourth in Richmond two weeks ago. However, he faltered at Talladega resulting in a 17th place finish that leaves some concern this week at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver does start from the eighth position on Sunday but has only raced here […]

Ryan Blaney Expected To Lurk Around Top Ten Sunday

Ryan Blaney tends to find a way to meander around the top ten in races and that makes him dangerous on Sunday at Kansas. He starts from the seventh position for the Buschy McBusch 400. The Team Penske driver has finished no lower than 11th in every race since Homestead in February. Blaney's results at […]

Austin Dillon Might Stay in Top Ten At Kansas Sunday

Austin Dillon may fall back a bit on Sunday at Kansas but has the car to lurk around the top ten. The Richard Childress Racing driver starts from the sixth position outside of Row 3. He has finished tenth and eighth the past two weeks. The only concern is how Dillon has fared over the […]

Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Play At Kansas

Matt DiBenedetto keeps improving every week and now has consecutive top ten results under his belt. The fifth-place finish at Talladega paved the way to a fifth-place start for Sunday's race at Kansas. Before Richmond and Talladega, DiBenedetto had been knocking on the door as far as top ten results. The Wood Brothers Racing driver […]

Kevin Harvick Should Be One Of The Favorites At Kansas

Kevin Harvick feels at home on the Kansas Speedway track. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has enjoyed immense success on the 1.5-mile asphalt course. He has three wins in 30 starts with ten top-five finishes and 17 top ten results. He finished fourth and second last year as the No. 4 led 85 of the 267 […]

Michael McDowell Is A Risky Pick This Week At Kansas

Michael McDowell survived all the wrecks to finish third last week at Talladega. It was his first top ten finish since Homestead in February. Based on that result and a few other metrics. McDowell starts from the third position this week at Kansas. In 19 races, the Front Row Motorsports driver has started in the […]

William Byron May Lead Hendrick Motorsports Charge Sunday

William Byron inherits a great starting position this week at Kansas. He starts on the outside of Row 1 with Brad Keselowski. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has been one of the most consistent drivers in the series since the Daytona swing. Byron has finished in the top ten in every race including a win […]

Brad Keselowski Looks To Win Again At Kansas

Brad Keselowski gets a bit of a boost on Sunday's Buschy McBusch 400. He starts from the pole after thriving at Talladega last week. Keselowski won last week and should lead some laps this week. The Team Penske driver won the race two years ago. He finished second and fourth in two races on the […]

Luis Torrens Leaves Six On Base

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens had a rough night at the plate Friday, repeatedly coming up with men on base but never managing to deliver. Torrens batted in the five hole against Andrew Heaney and the Angels, but despite the many opportunities ended the game with only one hit in five at-bats and no runs […]

Chris Flexen Struggles Against Angels

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen wasn't able to pitch deep into the game Friday night, only managing to throw four innings against the Angels before being removed. It was a rough one from the start for Flexen, who needed 32 pitches to escape the top of the first inning. All told, Flexen allowed three […]

Tom Murphy Goes Deep Friday

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy hit his second home run of the year Friday night. Acting as the designated hitter, Murphy homered from the ninth spot in the lineup off of Angels starter Andrew Heaney in the bottom of the fourth inning. Murphy has struggled early in 2021, producing a lowly .509 OPS. Fortunately for […]
