First Look: MLB Fantasy Picks Today for DFS (4/5)
It is the second “Opening Day,” with a number of teams that began the season with road trips having their home openers, so we get more day baseball than we would typically get on a Friday. The resulting slate split is a three-game featured slate at 1:05 p.m. ET and a seven-game main slate beginning […]

College Basketball DFS Picks and Strategy for Thursday (4/4)
The NIT championship is Thursday night, and it features two teams that truly belonged in the Big Dance but were part of the “First Four Out” group per the committee. Seton Hall and Indiana State have played with a chip on their shoulders in this tournament so it’s fitting they’ll meet for the title. This […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS April 4
Thursday offers a five-game NBA DFS slate, and at the moment, the team to focus on is the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris are all on the injury report, though all three did participate in shootaround. Embiid made his return last game and played over 29 minutes, but this is a […]

The Sweet Spot: MLB Fantasy Picks Today for DFS (4/4)
It’s our first slow day of baseball this season Thursday, with just a four-game DFS slate, and we can hope that weather doesn’t wreak havoc on the slate like it has been. The pitching is going to be a challenge since the clear best pitcher on the slate isn’t in the best spot and there […]

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2024 Valero Texas Open
Staying in the Lone Star State for another week, the PGA Tour heads to TPC San Antonio for this week’s Valero Texas Open. It’s the final event before the season’s first major. As we saw last week in Houston, wave splits often end up lopsided in Texas, but it wasn’t want most would have […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS April 3
Wednesday’s NBA DFS slate could be a difficult one to figure out with the amount of high spreads and potential injuries. There has also been a rash of players leaving games early due to injury, which is arguably the most frustrating thing in the sport. Let’s go to work and figure out who we like. […]

First Look: MLB Fantasy Picks Today for DFS (4/3)
We have our first wacky Wednesday of the MLB season, wherein the DFS slate is broken into three separate slates, one beginning at 1:10 p.m. ET (the early slate), an awkward 3:37 p.m. four-game slate with tiny contests and another “main” 6:45 p.m. slate. I’ll be mainly discussing the early slate and will give some […]

The Sweet Spot: MLB Fantasy Picks Today for DFS (4/2)
We’ve got another nine games on Tuesday’s MLB DFS slate, and this will be the point where I start to use 2024 stats. We have one start for a bunch of pitchers, so that’s a data point and we have a handful of games offensively. It’s slightly flawed to just look at 4-5 games, but […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS April 2
The NBA presents a seven-game DFS slate Tuesday that has a handful of relatively shorthanded teams, which isn’t too surprising now that we have entered April. But the key to the slate appears to reside in San Antonio. 1. Jordan Poole has a 34.9% usage rate with both Kyle Kuzma and Tyus Jones off […]

Monday night’s six-game NBA DFS slate might not have the most sizzle to it, but the last two games of the night have major playoff implications. Even the games that may not have playoff teams involved have some fun fantasy spots to target. 1. The Celtics could be a lot more appealing if Jaylen […]

The Sweet Spot: MLB Fantasy Picks Today for DFS (3/31)
The first Sunday of the season might be the most challenging pitching slate of the year so far. We’ve had standouts on virtually every slate, but I’m not sure that’s the case on Sunday, even though there are plenty of pitchers to consider. That also means we should have plenty of offenses to choose from, […]
