Starling Marte to Mets - Fantasy Impact

The New York Mets' disappointing 2021 season was followed by their delay in securing a new general manager, inability to re-sign starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, and failure to bring back starting pitcher Steven Matz from Toronto in the early part of the current offseason.

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 […]

Javier Baez to Tigers - Fantasy Impact

The Tigers got in on the free-agent spending spree by adding infielder Javier Baez.

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 […]

Tigers In Talks With Javier Baez

The Detroit Tigers have been in discussions with free-agent shortstop Javier Baez, according to sources.

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 13: English Premier League

Last weekend was another case of "so near, yet so far". We bagged a profit in the Newcastle and Brentford game but would've had a huge game if Callum Wilson didn't have an effort cleared off the goalline. West Ham United let us down, losing 1-0 to Wolves. Jarrod Bowen had one effort on target, […]

2022 Fantasy Breakout Candidates - NL East

Tigers Considering Javier Baez, Marcus Semien

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 12: English Premier League

We're back after the international break and hopefully, we'll have a turnaround in fortunes. The last matchweek was one of "if only's". We correctly predicted Norwich would pick up their first win of the season but the other match picks failed to cash. We managed to bag two picks in the Wolves and Crystal Palace […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 11: English Premier League

Not quite the weekend we were hoping for. Despite favoring Burnley to beat Brentford (slightly), I didn't see them going 3-0 up and running out comfortable winners. Thankfully, the corners pick came in still and Bryan Mbeumo didn't play which voided one bet also. Meanwhile, Watford failed to build on their 5-2 win the week […]
