Third Base Dynasty Rankings for Fantasy Baseball

It's not quite draft season for fantasy baseball but that matters little in dynasty.

After a short break for the FA Cup third round, we're back at it with a full EPL schedule as well as some additional catch-up games in midweek.

A Year To Forget: Pitchers Who Will Rebound In 2022

When you draft a pitcher onto your fantasy baseball team, you are hoping they can be a stable source of production. Unfortunately, for these five pitchers, that was not the case. All of them struggled mightily, with four of the five even being either demoted to the minor leagues or the bullpen at one point... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 21: English Premier League

Another tough matchweek where we nearly bagged a nice profit. It started well with Watford and West Ham bagging us a profit in the first half and if Emmanuel Dennis scored his one-on-one in the last minute, we would have doubled our money on the game. Then Tottenham was denied a second-half winner with the... Read More

Fantasy Baseball Risers Post-Free Agency

With all the free-agent signings and trades that happened prior to the lockout, plenty has changed ahead of the 2022 season where the fantasy landscape is concerned. The impact of new acquisitions will certainly be felt in fantasy drafts next spring. Corey Knebel, for instance, could see a significant number of save opportunities in Philadelphia next... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 20: English Premier League

It was a rough Boxing Day for us. With two of our three games postponed due to covid issues, we were left with one match and unfortunately, failed to bag a single pick. A Brentford second-half goal would've seen us make a profit but despite numerous chances, they failed to score and we took what... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 19: English Premier League

We reach the halfway point of the season (minus some postponements that need making up) and it's the perfect time to wish you all a Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it and a happy holiday period to anyone who doesn't.

Balls come and balls go but regardless of the current offensive environment in baseball, what hasn't changed is our fantasy love of power. But after the happy fun ball days of 2019 and 2020, the MLB went back to the lab in an attempt to deaden some of the bouncy ball hijinks. And deaden they... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 18: English Premier League

As if we needed reminding how fine the margins are in betting on soccer, we received a dose of it in midweek. With the Tottenham versus Leicester City game postponed, we were down to two games this week. We did hit a profit on the Crystal Palace versus Southampton game but one more corner in... Read More

Valuing Injured Players Returning In 2022

Last year's season-ending injury list is an All-Star team. It holds three of the best players in the game and plenty of other superstar adjacent players. Now, heading into the 2022 fantasy baseball season, we have to evaluate the value of these injured players. Should we be concerned about Ronald Acuna Jr? Is Jacob deGrom... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 17: English Premier League

A mixed bag for us last weekend. Friday saw us correctly predict the score and get all four picks correct as Brentford beat Watford. On Sunday, we failed to get any picks as Newcastle United was trounced 4-0 at Leicester City. The away team was on top until a questionable penalty allowed Leicester to lead... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 16: English Premier League

Never did a profitable week feel as hollow as last weekend. We bagged a small profit on Newcastle beating Burnley, a good profit on Aston Villa beating Leicester City and a decent profit on the parlays. But the Southampton versus Brighton game brought us heartbreak. Brighton's 98th (yes, 98th) minute equalizer denied us from having... Read More

Identifying potential fantasy breakout players in drafts each Spring can be crucial in building a championship-winning roster for fantasy managers.

I've already run through the first round of my one-man mock, which you can check out right here. Now, let's move on to the next few rounds with a look at how early drafts might shake out.

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 15: English Premier League

The games keep coming thick and fast this time of year. The midweek games weren't kind to us as we made a small loss, but it stemmed the bleeding from the previous weeks. Newcastle's early red card didn't help with our Jonjo Shelvey prop but Norwich did avoid defeat and should've won it late which... Read More

Marlins Trade Jorge Alfaro To Padres, Designate Lewis Brinson

Catcher Jorge Alfaro is headed to the San Diego Padres, as the Miami Marlins have traded him in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Joey Wendle Traded To Marlins

Infielder Joey Wendle is on the move, as the Tampa Bay Rays have traded the 31-year-old to the Miami Marlins in exchange for outfield prospect Kameron Misner.

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 14: English Premier League

Not the weekend we wanted as matchweek 13 was indeed unlucky for us. Leeds' goalless draw with Brighton saw us bag a healthy profit but earlier in the day, we had our first blank of the season with all five picks in the Wolves versus Norwich City game failing. A second-half Raul Jimenez goal would've... Read More

Sandy Alcantara Agrees To Five-Year Contract Extension
