How can we talk about baseball when we are coming off a masterful Tiger Woods’ Masters victory and the airing of the first episode of the final season of Game of Thrones? Like, it’s a little hard to focus coming off of these things on Sunday. While we saunter around in sports and TV victories,…
DraftKings finally is listening to its clientele. I’ve griped a few times about their new pricing algorithms for bats. Rarely could you find a player to roster under $3,200, sometimes $3,400 or $3,500. Catchers were way overpriced, too. But now they have changed their pricing and things are back to some type of normalcy. That…
It’s early into the 2019 MLB season, but damn if it isn’t starting to become difficult to outright pay up for pitching. Chris Sale, Jacob deGrom, Aaron Nola, Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber, James Paxton, German Marquez…ok, I won’t get that crazy. But the other guys on that list have all performed…
This one is hard to write at 11 p.m. central time. My beloved Red Raiders lost a grueling, tough fight against Virginia in the national title game. This one stings a lot, but the ride was awesome. I hope it’s the start of something great with Tech men’s basketball and coach Chris Beard. Long live…
The time has come to change our path. FanDuel bound, let’s kick some ass. Twitter is starting to catch on to DraftKings new pricing model for its version of MLB 2019. While I will continue to play the Showdown slates, I am going to take a much needed break from the classic format. By the…
Change is hard for people to make. It’s especially difficult for me. Routines are easy, comfortable and sometimes difficult to break, especially when you don’t realize the routine you are in is negatively affecting you. But when you do finally have that metaphorical slap to the face, you realize change is imminent. And change is…
I am not a big fan of these split slates during the week. On top of that we continue to have games starting around 5-5:30 p.m. central, limiting our exposure to certain teams for big tournaments. I suppose we have to make do with what we are given, so for the sake of time, we…
Happy Tuesday everyone! Now that the monstrosity of April Fool’s Day is behind us, we can strictly focus on baseball without having to wonder if any breaking news we see come across our news and social media feeds is fake news. I saw a plethora of “breaking news” blurbs, tweets and images that were all…
It’s no joke, it’s already April 2019. What is a joke? Draftkings pitcher pricing to start the season. Here’s a list of prices over the past four days for guys who had no business being price up. Friday Freddy Peralta – $9,100 Ross Stripling – $9,500 Saturday Kenta Maeda – $10,100 Brandon Woodruff – $7,900…
The last Opening Day of the artist formerly known as the Ballpark in Arlington has come and gone. And the Rangers got pounded, in what is now called Globe Life Park. The Rangers play their swan song in their 25-year-old stadium and will move across the parking lot into their new digs in 2020. It’s…
The crack of the bat. The pop of the glove. The crunch of the dirt. The sounds of baseball. And when we use the word baseball, that must mean one thing. Opening Day has arrived. And the grind begins. The daily fantasy grind. 180 days. Baseball returns and we should all rejoice! That means so…
We have a nine-game slate of NBA action to dissect for Monday night. There are four games with a double-digit favorite so be wary of minutes for the stars on the Bucks, Rockets, Nuggets, and Raptors on Monday night. Instead look to the games that should stay competitive with high Vegas totals such as the…
