EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 11: English Premier League

No sugar coating last week: it was brutal. Between Fulham and Leicester combining for 31 fouls and only two yellow cards, Everton and Leeds combining for 37 shots and just one goal, and Arsenal and Wolves combing for three goals in the first half, nothing went right. After three straight profitable weeks, it was a […]

Marlins Acquire Adam Cimber, DFA Jose Urena

The Miami Marlins acquired sidearm reliever Adam Cimber from the Cleveland Indians on Monday in exchange for $100,000. In a corresponding move, the Marlins designated right-hander Jose Urena for assignment. Urena was the team's Opening Day starter in 2018 and 2019 and spent six seasons with the club, but he went 0-3 with a 5.40 […]

Projecting Power in 2021: Elite Levels of Air% Exit Velocity

Everyone wants more power, even more so when it comes relatively cheap. But even when pricey, you're going to need to draft a bomber or two. One of the best ways to see how a player's power is trending is to sift through their exit-velocities to see what they're saying. Most know by now that […]

Year-in-Review: Lance McCullers Jr.

It had been a while since we saw Lance McCullers Jr. on the mound. He has dealt with his fair share of injuries throughout his career, and he dealt with his most severe in 2019 when he lost the entire season to Tommy John surgery. The shutdown and the subsequent delayed start to the season […]

Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Outfield Rankings

I think most of us would agree that looking forward to 2021 is a good idea. For me, that means immersing myself in the upcoming baseball season. While there's no guarantee COVID-19 won't affect the '21 season, I will approach ranks as if a traditional 162-game season is coming. Join me for my position-by-position ranking […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 10: English Premier League

For the third straight week, we bag two out of three correct picks to make a profit but are denied the big parlay payout by the odd goal. Chelsea and Newcastle couldn't find that elusive third goal between them with the former missing numerous good chances and the latter hitting the woodwork. All the more […]

Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft - ADP Surprises

Of course, there are many changes to be made throughout the offseason. It feels as if the dust is still settling on the 2020 World Series yet baseball fans are more ready for the upcoming season than ever. We have no idea whether a full schedule can be played, what games will look like, and […]

Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Shortstop Rankings

As we begin to look towards the 2021 baseball season, we can only hope that COVID-19 will be handled well enough to let the season run as normal. Since this is a mere early ranking exercise and we have so much ahead of us, let's just close our eyes and chat as if a 162-game […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 9: English Premier League

Just when our luck appears to be turning, we get burned. Two weeks ago, we get the pick in game one correct with an injury-time winner and still needed Fulham to miss a 97th-minute penalty, which they duly did with one of the worst penalty kicks of all time. Game two pick banked as well, […]

Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Third Base Rankings

Hope springs eternal for the 2021 baseball season, but it's hard to imagine we'll be completely past COVID-19 by then. Plus, we could see opening salvos for the CBA debates to come. But for now, let's just close our eyes and dream of a perfect world and chat as if a 162-game season will come […]

Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Second Base Rankings

As usual, I'll start by saying the 2021 baseball season may still be affected by COVID-19. Maybe even more labor disputes just for a curveball. But for now, let's just close our eyes and dream of a perfect world and chat as if a 162-game season will come next spring. Join me for my position-by-position […]

Kim Ng To Become Marlins GM

Kim Ng is in line to become the new Miami Marlins general manager. She will become the first female general manager of an MLB team. She is a long-time baseball executive who has been MLB's senior vice president for baseball operations since 2011. Ng is also the first woman hired to a general manager position […]

Don Mattingly Wins Manager Of The Year Award With Marlins

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly was named the National League Manager of the Year on Tuesday for leading the team to their first playoff appearance in 17 years despite the COVID-19 pandemic threatening to derail the entire season. Mattingly was the fifth person in history to win the award after being named Most Valuable Player, […]

2021 First Look Fantasy Values: Third Base

The baseball offseason may officially begin with the end of the World Series but the projections offseason began last Thursday night with the release of the first Steamer projections for 2021.

Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings

Let's cut right to it: the 2021 baseball season is not guaranteed to be a normal one. But for now, let's just close our eyes and dream of a world unencumbered by COVID-19 and talk about our silly little game as if a 162-game season will come next spring. It is time to decide how […]

2021 First Look Fantasy Values: Outfielders

The baseball offseason may officially begin with the end of the World Series but the projections offseason began last Thursday night with the release of the first Steamer projections for 2021. Created and maintained by mathematics teacher Jared Cross and his former students, Steamer remains the industry standard for non-aggregated projection systems, as well as […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 8: English Premier League

Last weekend was heartbreaking. After starting off the weekend with a winner and correct score (+850), we bagged a game 2 winner and was one goal away from another correct score. The +924 parlay was on the brink of coming in as the under 12.5 corners came in for game 3 but Aston Villa only […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 7: English Premier League

Last weekend was a bit of a disaster, despite being one goal away in all three games from a sweep. Fulham lost 2-1, just needing to draw, Wolves conceded a late equalizer from questionable goalkeeping (although the under 3.5 goals did hit) and Brighton conceded a late equalizer (although the over 1.5 goals hit). Unfortunately, […]

Marlins Exercise Starling Marte's Option

The Miami Marlins exercised the club option for outfielder Starling Marte on Wednesday, and he'll make $12.5 million next year. The Marlins would've been on the hook for $1 million if they had decided not to pick up Marte's option. Miami acquired the center fielder from Arizona on Aug. 31 for pitchers Caleb Smith and […]

Warning Signals in Shift Increases: Part One

Shifts work. Not all the time and not against everyone but eventually there is a sufficient amount of data on a player to be able to draw some pretty strong conclusions about what advantages can be gained by shifting. There are good reasons that Joey Gallo was shifted against 98.5% of the time in 2020. Not everyone […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 6: English Premier League

Last weekend started with a bang; a correct pick and a correct score prediction (at +1150) in our first game. In the next two games, we were let down with corners. Sheffield United did avoid defeat as part of the single-game parlay but mustered just two corners to Fulham's five. Leicester also managed just two […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 5: English Premier League

Two weeks ago saw some of the craziest scorelines in Premier League history. Champions Liverpool shipped in seven goals against a team who survived relegation on the final day of last season, while Manchester United was busy having six stuck past them at home. For us, picking Leeds United vs Manchester City BTTS & over […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (10/8/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The Division Series has taught us fantasy managers some valuable lessons: Dodger Stadium and Petco Park are now apparently hitter’s parks, Randy Arozarena is Mike Trout-lite, and that bubble series can provide loads of intensity. The odds are that this is the final four-game slate of the 2020 baseball season, so as my mate Ziggy […]
