EPL Betting Picks and Game Previews for Matchweek 36 - Midweek Games: English Premier League

Despite another week picking 60% of correct results, including Liverpool dropping points at home, we made a loss on our picks. It was a reminder of how small the margins are between making and losing money as one more goal in the Crystal Palace versus Watford game would've left us with a tidy profit. Unfortunately, […]

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) and relief pitcher Joe Kelly (biceps) were activated from the injured list on Monday.

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 5

Some of the names may be the same but each week presents a change in schedule that determines a starter's fantasy value. The trickiest part of playing in weekly leagues is having to weigh talent vs. opportunity in the pitching realm. With many pitchers now having four or five starts under their belt, we have […]

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 5

As I sit down to write this article, only one thought comes to mind: Shohei Ohtani remains an absolute marvel. Not only did he pitch seven scoreless innings with no walks, 11strikeouts, and 29 whiffs, but he also led off for a team that scored eight runs, having the highest exit velocity for the game […]

Starting Pitchers Breaking Out for Fantasy Baseball - The New Strikeout Kings

We are nearly one month into the season and most starting pitchers have three or four starts under their belt. Some big names have dominated out of the gates, while others have faltered. And some lesser-known pitchers have made a splash by piling up some big strikeout totals. I do daily strikeout projections for DFS […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 4

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

EPL Betting Picks and Game Previews for Matchweek 36: English Premier League

A solid week saw us bag a small profit last weekend, but it could easily have been more. Injury-time goals in three of the games all denied us correct score predictions and two of them cost us winning picks. Otherwise, we'd have been sitting pretty with a 132% ROI instead of the 102.52% we did […]

Finding Breakout Hitters for Fantasy Baseball: Chase Rate Early-Season Metrics

In an earlier article on Blast Rate, I mentioned that this was the time of year that some hitting metrics start to stabilize. While many of us want to focus on exit velocity and hard-hit rate because they lead to more exciting outcomes, I think focusing on plate discipline metrics can be just as important. […]

Andrew Vaughn Expected To Be Placed On Injured List

Chicago White Sox outfielder/first baseman Andrew Vaughn (hand) will "most probably" be placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox. He's been sidelined since last Friday after being hit in the hand by a pitch. It's unclear exactly how much time Vaughn will miss. X-rays came back […]
