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.
Did you know MLB All-Star Game voting ends tomorrow? I’m still out here thinking that Opening Day was just a few weeks ago, but apparently half the regular season has already passed us by. You know what they say, time flies when you’re scrolling 10,000 FanGraphs pages a day. …People say that, right? Let’s dive […]

I want to get excited about a rare 15-game featured MLB slate, yet there’s some weather concerns in the northeast that deserve our attention, specifically in New York and Baltimore. I’d tell Mets fans to pray for some clear skies, but there’s a good chance they’d rather not have to watch the team at this […]

I’m not an idiot. I know that tonight is the NBA Draft. Heck, there’s a far better chance that I’ll be watching Adam Silver awkwardly hug grown men than really focusing in on a Royals or Pirates game. But who said you have to watch your bets? That’s what the DraftKings app is for, people. […]

Today is the Summer solstice. That means this Wednesday will have more daylight than any other day in 2023. It would be exciting — if we were going to be outside. But we’re not. We’re watching baseball all night. Preferably with all the windows shut and the curtains closed. There’s nothing worse than glare on […]

This is going to be the last Friday betting article I write for a couple weeks, because I’m a busy man and I have an array of industry titans that wish to wine and dine me. I also have a wedding and a graduation the next two weekends. But that doesn’t mean the first thing […]

Who says writers aren’t superstitious? I mean, we all know athletes are — gamblers, too — but this morning I took a page from those playbooks. June hasn’t been that kind to us, as we come into Thursday just 4-6 on article plays this month. We’re still at 32-24 for the season as a whole, […]

The NBA season official ended on Monday. The NHL season officially ended on Tuesday. Preseason games for the NFL are at least six weeks away. We’re in the thick of baseball season now, baby! Let’s celebrate with a 12-game featured slate this evening on DraftKings. Set your DraftKings fantasy baseball lineups here: MLB $250K Relay […]

We were so, so close to a full 15-game slate this evening, something it feels like we haven’t had all season. But alas, thanks to a 6:40 p.m. ET first pitch in Detroit, we’ll have to settle for just 14 games. Actually, with heavy rain expected in Chicago, let’s call it 13.5 games to be […]

Last night we had a perfect example of why you need to take advantage of the available promos on the DraftKings Sportsbook. That’s right! I’m a company man at heart. [awkwardly turns to the camera and gives a thumbs up while smiling] Anyway, thanks to the 2-Run Lead Early Win offer currently running, I was […]

Well, the heater is over. I tempted fate last Friday with three plus-money bets on the DraftKings Sportsbook, and I was quickly humbled with an 0-3 night. We remain 30-21 on article plays for the season as a whole, but I don’t want to make this a trend. Let’s get back on that horse and […]

Lots of big news around baseball the past 24 hours. Aaron Judge is back on the IL. Jacob deGrom will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the remainder of the season. Alek Manoah was sent all the way to Rookie Ball to try and cure what ails him. It’s been hectic in these 90-foot streets. […]
