Adrian Morejon, Michel Baez Surprising Roster Cuts

San Diego Padres pitchers Adrian Morejon and Michel Baez were surprisingly left off the Opening Day roster. Both prospects debuted in 2019 and were expected to fill middle relief roles this season, but neither showed enough in camp to stick. Morejon also projects as a starter so his demotion is likely tied to a longer-term […]

Randy Dobnak Makes Twins 30-Man Roster

Minnesota Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak has made the team's 30-man roster. Dobnak pitched well in spring training, posting a 2.70 ERA through 10 innings pitched. He followed it up with a strong performance in the Twins' final intrasquad scrimmage game, throwing four scoreless innings without giving up a hit. Dobnak may not have a spot […]

Martin Truex Jr. Is A Favorite At Kansas

Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. has an average finish of 8.3 over the last 10 races at Kansas Speedway, including a sweep of the races here in 2017. Over this span, he's ed 508 laps, though since 2018, he's led just 46, signalling that he might not be quite as strong here as he […]

MacKenzie Gore, Luis Patino Don't Make The Roster

San Diego Padres top pitching prospects MacKenzie Gore and Luis Patino did not make the Opening Day roster. This was widely projected as both were building up as starters with the Friars rotation mostly settled. The expectation is both Gore (MLB’s No.5 prospect) and Patino (No. 27) have a path to debut in 2020, whether […]

Tyler Reddick Is Strong Value Play At Kansas

Richard Childress Racing's Tyler Reddick is coming off a career-best second place finish at Texas on Sunday and has three consecutive top 10 finishes. But Reddick remains a relatively affordable DFS option on both DraftKings and FanDuel, and with a 23rd place starting spot for Thursday's Super Start Batteries 400 at Kansas Speedway, he'll bring […]

Joey Logano Set To Start Second On Thursday Day

Penske Racing's Joey Logano will pilot his 22 car from the second starting position for Thursday night's Super Start Batteries 400 at Kansas Speedway. Logano -- a 2015 winner at this track -- had a pair of disappointing runs here last season, finishing 15th and 17th, and in the last 10 races here also has […]

After all four big […]

Super Start Batteries 400: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

Its time to carry on my wayward sons (and daughters) to Kansas Speedway for Thursday Night NASCAR Cup racing. Chef and I are riding high off of a successful DFS Texas Sunday with the help of Kenny Powers and SWISHAHOUSE (AKA Paul Wall and Mike Jones), and look to recreate that in the same week. […]

Victor Oladipo Practicing Without Restrictions

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo has been fully practicing without restrictions. He has not sat out any practices and is expected to play in the upcoming exhibition games. A few weeks ago, it sounded like Oladipo is going to sit out, but it appears that has changed. He is reportedly looking great in camp and […]

NASCAR DFS: Building an Optimal Lineup for Thursday's Super Start Batteries 400

So, I'm telling you there's a NASCAR Cup Series race scheduled for Thursday (July 23) at Kansas Speedway. Yup, welcome to 2020. Like the past two racetracks on the NASCAR circuit, Kansas is an intermediate track, where it's likely many of the guys who've dominated races this season will contend for the victory. With that […]

Brad Keselowski Set For Strong Run At Kansas

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski will take the green flag from the seventh position on Thursday night for the Super Start Batteries 400 at Kansas Speedway. The winner of this race last year, Keselowski has six top 10s in his last 10 starts at the track, including a second-place finish back in 2017. While he's also […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Super Start Batteries 400

This week, NASCAR's doing things backwards, with the Cup Series starting off the weekend of action on Thursday night before a Friday/Saturday doubleheader for the Truck Series and an Xfinity race on Sunday to cap things off. It's odd, but it's also exciting because it means we get one more weeknight Cup race before other […]

Domantas Sabonis Has No Timetable

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (foot) has not touched a basketball in six days and has no timetable for his return. Sabonis is dealing with plantar fasciitis, so really the only thing he can do is rest. He'll likely sit out all the exhibition games, but will hopefully be ready in time for the seeding […]

Jimmie Johnson Has Upside At Kansas On Thursday

Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson has struggled recently at Kansas Speedway, with just two top 10s in the last six races here. But both of those top 10s came in 2019, and Johnson starts Thursday's Super Start Batteries 400 in 20th, giving him solid place differential upside. There is, of course, reason to worry about […]

Marvin Bagley Has Left Orlando

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) has left the Orlando bubble and has been quickly ruled out for the restart. He suffered a foot injury in practice and was diagnosed with a lateral right foot sprain. Sadly, injuries continue to derail Bagley's career, but hopefully he'll be back healthy next season. Nemanja Bjelica, Harry Giles, […]

Kemba Walker Practices On Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. "I felt really good (today), actually. It was really fun to get out there with my teammates," Walker said. He has been bothered by left knee problems since he was in college. The organization plans to limit Walker during the seeding games. […]

Nate Pearson, Ryan Borucki Optioned To Taxi Squad

The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned starting pitchers Nate Pearson and Ryan Borucki to their taxi squad ahead of Thursday’s roster cutoff. Pearson will likely be called up after the 29th, so the Jays gain an extra year of team control, and he’ll presumably join the starting rotation during its second time through. Borucki’s option […]

Kyle Busch Looks To Continue Kansas Resurgence

For much of his career, Kyle Busch was just plain bad at Kansas Speedway. From his first race in 2004 through the first race here in 2014, Busch had just two top 10s at the track and eight finishes outside the top 20. He's improved since then, including getting a pair of top fives in […]

Kurt Busch Looking To Continue Recent Kansas Success

Chip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch has seven top-10 finishes in his last 10 NASCAR Cup Series races at Kansas Speedway, but he's still searching for his first win at the track. Busch has gotten as high as second-place in the finishing order twice here, but just hasn't been able to pull off a victory. Busch […]

Clint Bowyer Has Place Differential Upside At Kansas

It's true that Kansas Speedway hasn't always been the best track for Clint Bowyer, whose average finish in his last 10 starts at the track is 17.5, with just three top 10s in those 10 races. But Bowyer did have a pair of top 10s here last year, including a fifth-place run in the first […]

Alex Bowman Has Solid Upside At Kansas

Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman is set to start sixth in Thursday's Super Start Batteries 400 at Kansas Speedway. In five starts at this track in the 88 car, Bowman has a worst finish of 18th with three top 10s, including a second-place finish in this race a year ago. Bowman's spot on the starting […]

Kevin Harvick Starts From Pole At Kansas

Stewart Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick will start from the pole on Thursday when the NASCAR Cup Series visits Kansas Speedway for the Super Start Batteries 400. Harvick's placement on the grid does take away some of his DFS upside, as he won't be able to earn place differential points, but his history at this track […]

Dynasty Market Watch: NFC South

The NFC South has been full of fantasy talent for several years now. Some of the better players in the game reside in this division and are popular selections at the top of drafts. Players like Christian McCaffrey and Michael Thomas are firmly inside the first round in redraft leagues and are cornerstones for dynasty […]
