Garion is a Toronto-based writer who has been playing fantasy sports since elementary school. With a particular affinity for advanced statistics and sabermetrics, he’s been covering DFS Baseball, Football and Basketball for DraftKings dating back to 2018. Prior to that, Garion’s work could be found at FNTSY, SportsGrid, HoopsHype, The New York Daily News and Sportsnet.ca. Still, he is a Dolphins fan, so his decision-making can be questioned from time-to-time.
Monday marked my seventh straight MLB betting article where I went 1-1 on my plays. Seven. Straight. We’re still sitting at 33-22 (+10.0u) for the season as a whole, but I can’t quite shake the feeling that I’m jinxed.

Technically, we have an 11-game featured MLB slate tonight on DraftKings, but I wouldn’t get too attached to that number. There’s a lot of rain expected in the Midwest on Tuesday. As such, you’ll have to keep a close eye on the games taking place in Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago. Have fun on the […]

Who says there isn’t high level basketball happening in early July? No. I’m not talking about the start of Summer League. I’m talking about the run of Olympic qualifiers that finished up this past weekend, cementing the Men’s Basketball field for Paris 2024. Thanks to some herculean performances, we now know that Greece, Spain, Puerto […]

Do you know what heartbreak is? It’s not losing that high school love that you thought was the one. No. Not even close. It’s having the under in a Pirates-Cardinals game and knowing it’s about to go to extra innings with the stupid ghost runner at second base. That’s heartbreak. I guess that’s my long […]

Right off the top, I have to apologize. I didn’t get a chance to write this article on Monday, as it was Canada Day here in, well, Canada. Still, trust me when I say I would’ve had you bet against the Blue Jays. I promise. We’re 31-20 (+10.0u) for the season. Let’s find some winners […]

It’s Tuesday and there’s a massive 11-game featured slate taking place on the diamond this evening. Are you a fan of elite starting pitching? Because there’s no shortage of aces taking the mound tonight, including AL Cy Young Award favorite Tarik Skubal ($10,500) and Reynaldo Lopez ($9,600), the only man in baseball with 75-plus innings […]

As is always the case with a massive Friday slate, we’ve got some weather concerns to be aware of this evening on the diamond. I’d keep an especially close eye on Chicago and Kansas City, but that’s just me — a man who reads smarter people’s daily meteorology reports. Yeah, I’m mostly here for my […]

We’re in a rut. Now, that doesn’t mean that we’re snakebitten and can’t win a single bet, but the entirety of June as been pretty mediocre for the MLB wagers presented in this article. In fact, after another 1-1 record on Monday, we’re sitting at exactly 7-7 (-0.5u) for the month. Let’s try and break […]

Tuesday presents us with the possibility of a huge 12-game MLB featured slate on DraftKings, yet the local weather might have a different idea. They’re calling for rain in Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, so make sure to keep an eye on the news — or a doppler — as we inch closer to lock. […]
