It was a wild Friday night with the Mets scoring 17 runs, the Rays finally losing for the first time this season, and a number of upsets across the league. But it feels like that happens just about every night, though, doesn't it? I am always hunting for value and looking for some underdogs who […]

We are down to just four teams left going into Friday's final play-in games. The Toronto Raptors were eliminated by Chicago last night and so were the New Orleans Pelicans.

It's Easter Sunday and today is packed with baseball with all 30 teams in action! We don't have too many aces on the mound today, but we have plenty of middle-of-the-rotation arms in good spots that we can target with strikeout props and plenty of bad pitchers that we can target with hitters for some […]

Dan Palyo 2 years agoDraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/5/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups
We are nearly one week into the season and most teams have made it through their rotation once, meaning we get a crop of ace pitchers back on the board after a few days of dicey pitching options. We have a lot of day baseball and therefore the main slate on both sites contains 9 […]

It's been a wild week in the NBA and after only two games last night, we get 13 games tonight as the rest of the league is back in action on a big ol' Friday night slate. Things continue to be pretty ugly in the NBA as we're firmly in the middle of the "Silly […]
Dan Palyo 2 years agoUsing SIERA to Identify Overachievers Worth Fading in 2023 Fantasy Baseball
With Opening Day rapidly approaching, it's time for part two of my two-part series on how to use SIERA to identify pitchers who had an ERA that was not truly reflective of their overall effectiveness. The first piece focused on underachievers, but in this article, I will focus on some ERA overachievers from the 2022 […]
Dan Palyo 2 years agoFree NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/27/23)
We might be only a few days away from baseball season but I am far from finished betting on the NBA! This last week and a half are going to be a bit tricky with teams rolling out some truly goofy lineups on a nightly basis, but we simply have to be a bit more […]
Dan Palyo 2 years agoStarting Pitcher Prospects Rankings for 2023 Fantasy Baseball Redraft Leagues
Draft season is upon us, and I am getting incredibly hyped for this upcoming MLB season. We have a ton of young talent in the league at every position, but I can't remember the last time we had so many exciting young arms either set to debut or waiting in the wings at Triple-A. Today […]

I suppose all good things must come to an end and my little heater over the last week and a half did just that on Wednesday with a 1-3 mark across the bets recommended here. The Knicks were the team that let me down, not the Lakers, and several teams whiffed hard in the teaser […]

It's a war of attrition in the NBA this time of year. Teams are missing players due to injury or are resting star players down the stretch. This is officially the "Silly Season" of the NBA schedule as in the final few weeks things always tend to get a little bit weird. Players you haven't […]

Dan Palyo 2 years agoSean Manaea (SP, SFG) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 270 CURRENT ADP: ~290 overall ANALYSIS: All of Manaea's ERA indicators suggest that his 4.96 ERA was not entirely his fault. His xERA of 4.05 and xFIP of 3.96 are both in line with his 3.9 SIERA. Home runs were a big problem as he allowed 29 long balls last […]
Dan Palyo 2 years agoTrevor Rogers (SP, MIA) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 230 CURRENT ADP: ~245 overall ANALYSIS: Rogers is definitely a guy who I think qualifies as a bounce-back candidate. He's just a year removed from a 2021 campaign where he finished with a 2.64 ERA across 25 starts for Miami. Was that season just a complete mirage? I don't think […]

I didn't jinx the Cavs, who covered for us and the Thunder went out and did the damn thing, too, pulling out a close win to not only cover but win outright against the Clippers. The only snag came when the Kings got blown out on the second leg of a B2B by the mighty […]

It's a fairly quiet Tuesday night in the NBA, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to pick some games today and see if I could continue the heater that I had going last week. Tomorrow and Friday are the big slates this week (10 games) so I'll be very interested in those nights for betting, […]
Dan Palyo 2 years agoUsing SIERA To Identify Underachiever Pitchers Who Could Improve for 2023 Fantasy Baseball
As someone who firmly believes that pitching wins championships, I am always on the lookout for pitchers who could outperform their ADP and turn in a big season. I'm a bit obsessed with pitching really, as pitchers are usually the first guys I click into my DFS lineups and strikeout props have been my favorite […]

It's championship week! Most leagues around the country will wrap up this week, leaving the final week and a half (and the inevitable chaos that ensues) out of their playoff format. And if your league doesn't already do this, you should have a conversation about moving your playoffs back, honestly. Heck, I have seen a […]
