On Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Texas Motor Speedway. or as I like to call it "that racetrack that's like 20 minutes from my apartment."

Universal DH Beneficiaries - RBI

With the advent of the designated hitter in the National League for 2020, NL lineup production will go up; it's inevitable. Pitchers will have a harder time of things in the NL, and hitters will produce more. It's what happens when a near-zero at the plate is replaced by a Major League hitter. Where that […]

Jed Lowrie Will Not Play In Sunday's Exhibition

New York Mets infielder Jed Lowrie (leg) will not play in Sunday's exhibition against the Yankees. Lowrie, who also sat for Saturday's exhibition, is still sporting a large brace on his left leg that impacts his ability to play. Mets manager Luis Rojas indicated Lowrie is still having trouble with baserunning and movements on defense. […]

Matt Adams Elects Free Agency

First baseman Matt Adams exercised his contractual release clause and elected free agency on Saturday. He is no longer a member of the New York Mets. In 2019, Adams hit only .226 with a .741 OPS, 20 home runs and 56 RBI in 111 games for the Nationals. Now a free agent, Adams should be […]

Robinson Cano An Option To Bat Third In Mets Lineup

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano hit third in the Mets lineup on Saturday against the Yankees.

Relief Pitchers to Target in 2020 Drafts

The pitching landscape in 2020 is going to be an odd one, as most teams' starting pitchers are not going to be fully built up in time for the season to start. Some teams have even already announced that their starters may not go more than four innings to start the year, and openers could […]

Dellin Betances Looks Solid In Exhibition

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder, Achilles) looked solid in the Mets exhibition against the Yankees on Saturday. Betances delivered a scoreless inning of work, allowing just one hit. Betances was consistently throwing 92-93 mph, topping out at 95 mph. While the velocity still needs improvement, Betances indicated that he is 100% and […]

Closers and Saves Report: Summer Camp Edition 2 - Handcuffs

It's a whole new ball game. Literally. Baseball is going to be weird this season, folks. Only 60 games. (Almost?) all in the same time zone. Tons of games against the same teams. The DH everywhere. Empty stadiums. Cardboard cutouts. Artificial crowd noise. 30-man rosters for a while. Then 28-man rosters for another while. It's […]

Divisional Adjustments: Pitchers On the Rise

After some painfully-long negotiations, the MLB season will begin in late July with a 60-game season. For the general fan and for us in the fantasy community, the length of the schedule is less than ideal, but I think we can all agree that some baseball is better than no baseball. The abbreviated season will […]

Joey Logano A Great High-End Pick For DFS At Texas

Penske Racing's Joey Logano will start from the ninth position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Over the last six races, Logano has struggled, with only one top-10 finish. Logano has still been leading laps, but for a variety of reasons, just hasn't been able to close out races. The No. […]

Davi Ramos Drops Second Bout In A Row

Davi Ramos was unsuccessful in rebounding from his September 2019 loss, dropping a unanimous decision to Arman Tsarukyan. It was a tough night statistically for Ramos, who only landed 33 significant strikes and was 0-for-5 on his takedown attempts. After his four-fight winning streak, it's been a bit of a rough patch lately for Ramos. […]

Erik Jones An Awesome Value For DFS At Texas

Joe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones will start from the 23rd position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Jones and the No. 20 team have had a roller-coaster of a year, scoring multiple top-fives, but also suffering a ton of bad fortune. Jones currently sits outside of the Cup Series playoffs and […]

Arman Tsarukyan Impresses Against Tough Foe

Arman Tsarukyan improved to 2-1 in the UFC, winning a hard-fought decision over veteran Davi Ramos. In an aggressive contest, Tsarukyan landed 91 significant strikes and 118 total strikes. His takedown success wasn't as great, only landing one of his five attempted takedowns. On defense, Ramos only landed 33 significant strikes. It was a calm, […]

Aaron Nola Sharp In Exhibition Game

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola looked like he was in midseason-form in an exhibition game at Washington Saturday. The right-hander tossed five scoreless innings - including two four-out innings - mowing down a lineup that included most of the Nationals regulars. Nola allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out four. He […]

Carlos Felipe Drops UFC Debut Saturday Night

Carlos Felipe not only lost his UFC debut, but the first professional bout of his career. Felipe was only able to reel off 44 significant strikes over the span of the 15-minute bout. The Brazilian had a decent second round, but aside from that, he seemed to be more interested in taunting his opponent. He […]

Kevin Harvick The Favorite To Win At Texas

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick will start from the fifth position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Harvick rolls into TMS on a four-race top-five streak, including two wins, at Pocono and Indianapolis. Last week at Kentucky, Harvick arguably had his worst run of the year, before almost pulling a rabbit out […]

Frankie Montas To Start On Opening Day

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas will be the team's Opening Day starter, according to manager Bob Melvin. Montas said he expects to be able to go up to 90 pitches, so he won't be a popular DFS play against a good Angels lineup. His season-long prospects look much better, though, as he is coming […]

Jusuf Nurkic Not Concerned About Leg

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic mentioned that he has zero concerns with regards to his leg injury. "As far as health, zero concerns man. It’s not even a question," says Nurkic.

Nerlens Noel Suffers Injury At Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (ankle) was forced to sit out a majority of Saturday's practice after suffering an injury on Friday.

Bol Bol Could Debut During Restart

Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol could finally make his NBA debut during the seeding games, according to Mike Singer.

However, he'd likely only see minutes in […]

Chase Elliott An Expensive DFS Play At Texas

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will start from the eighth position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Elliott won Wednesday night's All-Star Race, at Bristol Motor Speedway, and will look to carry that momentum over to TMS. Before the All-Star win, Elliott and the No. 9 team had been scuffling, with […]

Darius Bazley Getting Reps At Center

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley was getting some reps at center with Nerlens Noel (ankle) unavailable on Saturday, according to head coach Billy Donovan. "He could be so unique, if you went to a small lineup you could play him at center," said Donovan of Bazley. This season, Bazley is averaging 4.5 points through […]

Al Horford Likely To See Reduced Role

Philadelphia 76ers center Al Horford is expected to have a reduced role during the upcoming NBA restart.

Justin Anderson Officially Signs With Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Justin Anderson has officially signed a deal for the remainder of the season. Michael Beasley was expected to join the team, but he'll be sitting out due to him getting COVID-19. Wilson Chandler has decided to opt out, so the Nets are in desperate need of another forward on the roster. He […]

Jarrett Allen Continues To Work On Conditioning

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen mentioned that his conditioning remains a "work in progress" as he continues to prepare for the upcoming restart.

Domingo German Not Retiring

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German announced on Saturday that he is not retiring. German posted a picture on Instagram suggesting that he may retire on Friday, but later made it clear that he intends to return to the Yankees for the 2021 season.
