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.
We’ve got a seven-game featured MLB slate kicking off at 6:40 p.m. ET on Friday and, if I’m being honest, it’s stacked from a pitching perspective. Obviously that’s easy to say when Spencer Strider ($11,000) is the headliner, but it’s just as much about the depth as it is the presence of Atlanta’s ace. Don’t […]

When it comes to the 2023-24 NBA regular season, I feel a little like a student in the waining days of the school year. You know, that final week before summer where the teacher doesn’t care, so you don’t really, either. That’s what it’s like watching some of these injury reports roll in for teams […]

There’s a glut of afternoon baseball today, but as someone who doesn’t like to get up before 10:00 a.m. ET if I don’t have to, we’ll be focusing on the night slate for this betting article. Am I lazy? Yes. Am I 3-1 (+1.9u) on article plays to start the season? Also yes. Let’s dive […]

The worst part about early-season baseball is the weather. Unfortunately for us, we’ve got some spots to keep an eye on for tonight’s nine-game featured slate. Tigers-Mets looks like a complete avoid, as that contest could be called as soon as this afternoon. They’re also expecting rain in Chicago, but not enough to have too […]

You know what? I already made an April Fools’ joke in the other piece I wrote for DraftKings Network this morning, so we’re just going to keep things simple in this space. There’s 14 games on the diamond today. Listed below are the bets I like. It’s that straight forward. We’re 1-1 (-0.4u) for the […]

We’ve made it to April. What a time to be alive! Considering the day, I feel it might be necessary to begin this article by assuring you that none of the following recommendations are intended as a prank. Unless, of course, they don’t end up playing well. Then I was totally joking. Got you. April […]

Opening Day is one of my favorite days of the year. However, the second day of the MLB regular season is sometimes a bit of a let down. All that waiting for baseball to come back, then your team immediately has a day off? Bit of a bummer. Still, there’s eight games on tonight’s featured […]

These final couple weeks of the regular season are going to be a bloodbath when it comes to injuries, and Friday is no exception. In fact, of the seven most-expensive players on this 10-game slate, six carry an injury designation. The other is Victor Wembanyama ($10,600). Thanks, Victor. I appreciate you. Let’s dive in and […]

Let’s just call out the elephant in the room right away: Everyone is questionable for tonight’s 10-game featured NBA slate. That’s sort of become the norm at this time of the year, but it’s annoying none the less. If you’re going to be injured, have the decency to be definitively ruled out. That’s what I […]

We are so back, baby. While we got a quick, nocturnal taste of regular season baseball last week in Korea, Thursday is the real deal. Opening Day. 15 games. 30 teams. One big smile from yours truly. DraftKings’ featured MLB slate gets going with the 4:10 p.m. ET wave. Let’s get an early start and […]
