Well, we did it. After a long and profitable DFS season we have finally made it to the World Series, and while it is no surprise to see the Astros here, the Phillies were probably not at the top of everyone’s list after having fired Joe Girardi back in June. Even resident Phillophile Alex Blicke […]

I am back from a weeklong hiatus wherein I traveled to Europe, was a groomsman in a beautiful bilingual wedding, saw the Sagrada Familia in all its glory and caught the flu in time to give it to my family. Quite the trip, all in all. I am elated to come back to a college […]

For all the fanfare of a decisive Game 5, this matchup of starting pitchers is particularly underwhelming. Aaron Civale and Jameson Taillon profile somewhat similarly – try to keep the ball in the yard by avoiding hard contact, and strike out just enough guys to keep opposing lineups honest. Neither are particularly dominant or appealing […]

By the time you’re reading this, I am likely on a flight to Europe, so hopefully our Walter Waddell has you covered on any injury news in Discord. We have a wide-open college football Saturday afternoon DFS slate with a few expected blowouts in the SEC and ACC and a couple of Pac-12 barn burners […]

There’s a reason that gambling lines list starting pitchers next to the odds and totals for baseball games, and books take games off the board when starting pitchers get scratched. Pitchers dictate the context of the matchup and have a larger impact on each possible individual event (ball, strike, foul ball, ball in play) than […]

We are back for some more college football DFS action, and I am excited to get into the Saturday afternoon matchups. We have several useful and juicy games to go along with a few completely un-useful games despite the beginning of conference play. However, even in some of the more one-sided matchups we still get […]

We absolutely crushed the late college football DFS slate last weekend by deploying the trio of Caleb Williams, Jordan Addison and EJ Smith as our core. It paid off in a big way, with Smith putting up 24 DK points at a sub-$5K price tag, and Williams and Addison connecting for massive games, with Addison […]

College football season is kicking into high gear, and as is often the case on the evening DFS slate, we get some high-flying PAC-12 action mixed in with at least one or two ACC/SEC matchups, and this slate is no different.   Highlighted primarily by USC/Stanford and Florida/Kentucky as the two main clashes on the […]

We are back in full force, with an absolutely jampacked Labor Day Weekend of college football DFS to enjoy. We have no shortage of elite talent on this slate, with Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame representing the absolute highest echelon of collegiate competition, and we have a Group of 5 barnburner brewing between SMU […]

We are back. Welcome to the Week 0 late DFS slate, in what is a delicious appetizer to the feast of football we are about to enjoy all fall. While we don’t get a ton of marquee matchups or any top-25 teams on this slate, we do get four of the five games with a […]
