Is Ty Dillon A Decent Driver to Add For NASCAR DFS At Chicago?

Ty Dillon of Kaulig Racing qualified 36th for this week's Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course. This will be a new career-worst starting position for Dillon in his Cup career at Chicago. In his only previous race on the street course back in 2023, Dillon ended up finishing 35th after exiting the race […]

Mookie Betts Homers in Dodgers' Defeat

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/outfielder Mookie Betts started the scoring on Saturday night with a solo home run in the first inning against Framber Valdez, but the Dodgers couldn't keep the offense going, as they fell to Houston for the second straight game, 6-4.

Lenyn Sosa Powers White Sox win at Coors Field

Chicago White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa had three hits, a home run, and four RBI in his team's 10-4 victory over the Rockies in Denver.

Kyle Higashioka Homers and Has Five RBI on Saturday Night

Texas Rangers catcher Kyle Higashioka went 3-for-3 out of the last spot in the Rangers' batting order on Saturday night in San Diego. He hit his second homer of the season and finished with five RBI by adding a pair of RBI singles and a sacrifice fly. Higashioka also added his first stolen base of […]

NFC West Fantasy Football Draft Targets and Avoids: 5 Sleepers or Busts for 2025

The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers have dominated the NFC West in recent seasons. In fact, both teams have won seven of the last eight division titles. While that generally means it’s a good idea to target players on their rosters, it doesn’t mean there aren’t other fantasy-relevant players in this division. As […]

Luis Castillo Keeps the Pirates Scoreless in Seattle

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo spun seven shutout innings against the Pirates on Saturday night, allowing only two hits and no walks while picking up eight strikeouts. He didn't get much run support but made it stand up in the 1-0 victory. Castillo earned the win to improve to 5-5 on the season with […]

Shohei Ohtani Throws Two Scoreless Innings on Saturday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani worked two effective shutout innings as the opener on Saturday night against the Astros. He allowed just one hit and picked up three strikeouts in two innings while working on his 31st birthday. He also went 1-for-4 with a walk in the leadoff spot. His hit was […]

Spencer Torkelson Carries the Tigers to Saturday Night Win

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson had all the team's offense on Saturday night, going 2-for-4 with a home run while the rest of the lineup combined to go 0-for-23 with four walks. His second-inning solo home run off Logan Allen was the only run in the Tigers' 1-0 win over the Guardians. The Tigers […]

Logan Allen Tames the Tigers but Takes the Loss

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Logan Allen was excellent on Saturday night against the Tigers, holding them to just one run on two hits and two walks through six innings. He had five strikeouts, and his only run allowed came on a home run by Spencer Torkelson. Unfortunately, the Guardians didn't get Allen any run support, […]

When Is Joe Boyle Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

After a disappointing stint in the majors last season with the Athletics, Joe Boyle was traded to Tampa Bay in the offseason and has begun to find his footing. Boyle has spent most of his time at Triple-A and has been one of the most effective pitchers in the minor leagues. With the Rays now […]

When Is Logan Henderson Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Logan Henderson looked quite comfortable during his first stint in the major leagues this season and is finding similar success at Triple-A. However, with fellow young right-hander Jacob Misiorowski joining the Milwaukee rotation, Henderson may not have a viable path to return to the big leagues in the near future. […]

When Is Bubba Chandler Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Bubba Chandler is viewed as the top pitching prospect in the sport on MLB.com. Last season, he quickly progressed through the system and was a popular late-round target this season as he appeared just weeks away from his MLB debut. However, Chandler has struggled at times this season and has […]

When Is Jordan Lawlar Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar has been one of the most dominant hitters at Triple-A this season, but has yet to take the next step in the major leagues. Through his first 22 games in Arizona, the former first-round pick has tallied just four hits (all singles) while striking out 20 times. Should fantasy […]

When Is Andrew Painter Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 15 Update)

Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Andrew Painter has battled numerous injuries during his minor league career, but is quickly approaching his MLB debut. Painter recently earned the call to Triple-A and has been showcasing high strikeout upside at the level, suggesting his MLB debut could be right around the corner. Should fantasy managers continue to […]

Qualifying Crash Makes William Byron a Likely DFS Must-Have

Despite his 38th-place starting position and stout $10,000 salary (the fourth-highest in the field), William Byron seems like one of the best options for DFS play at the Chicago Street Course. It's rare for any NASCAR Cup Series points leader to crash out of any qualifying session, which virtually guarantees a large number of Place […]

Alex Bowman Should Finish Well, but Probably Costs Too Much for Serious DFS Consideration

In an otherwise mediocre 2024, Alex Bowman's one real bright spot came when he won last year's Chicago Street Course race to lock himself into the playoffs. The win was more the result of a brilliant strategy call by Bowman's crew chief Blake Harris than his own doing, as Bowman was running 9th late in […]

Joey Logano Has Been Relatively Mediocre on Road Courses Lately

Joey Logano is one of the hardest drivers to predict in the NASCAR Cup Series since it's hard to really get a sense of when he will run well or when he won't, and even harder to determine which of his good races will lead to a good finishing result since he blows potentially strong […]

Ryan Blaney Doesn't Really Fit Neatly into Optimal DFS Lineups

Ryan Blaney curiously qualified 17th for the third consecutive year at the Chicago Street Course. Blaney is not particularly noted as a road racer, but he finished 10th in last year's race here, matching his best road course finish since Sonoma last year. Because Blaney is not one of the best road racers, he is […]

Austin Cindric Remains an Overrated Road Racer

Despite Austin Cindric's traditional reputation as a road racer, he's really become more of a specialist on drafting tracks and intermediates lately. Cindric qualified 27th for today's race at the Chicago Street Course, worse than both his teammates Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano. Although he did finish 6th in the inaugural Chicago race in 2023 […]

Brad Keselowski Likely to Brush Past Chicago Street Course to Focus on Daytona

After Brad Keselowski's near miss at Atlanta, his season effectively seems to hinge on whether or not he can win the regular season finale at Daytona, since he's unlikely to win anywhere else. As a result, he likely isn't going to be focusing too heavily on today's race at the Chicago Street Course when considering […]

John H. Nemechek One of the Best Underdog Options After Strong Runs at Mexico City and Last Year

Much like his teammate Erik Jones, John Hunter Nemechek has had a significant improvement in recent weeks, although in both cases they've only really improved from backmarkers last year to mid-packers this year. Nemechek outqualified Jones for today's race as he starts 25th to Jones's 34th. He is probably a better road racer than Jones. […]
