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.
I might need to retire. After a fantastic first-half of the season, I’m as cold as cold can be the past three weeks. As Stuart Scott so poetically put it time-and-time again on SportsCenter, I’m as cooooool as the other side of the pillow — except in a bad way. Still, glass half-full, we’re sitting […]

We are just four days away from the MLB trade deadline and I’m expecting Thursday to be a fun day in the world of transactions. Only eight teams are in action — only six of them on this evening’s slate — so GMs and Presidents of Baseball Operations should have all the time they need […]

I generally disagree with the idea that you shouldn’t turn your hobby into your job, but then some days, I really get it. I stayed up till 2:00 a.m. ET last night to watch the ol’ local baseball team blow a four-run lead in the ninth inning. I’m tired. I’m cranky. I don’t want to […]

We’ve reached that awkward moment in the MLB calendar where, with the trade deadline looming, pitchers miiiiiight just be making their final start for their current franchise. Heck, on tonight’s slate, it’s an entire pitching matchup, as Blake Snell ($10,000) and Rich Hill ($6,100) square-off in San Diego. Could this also be the last Subway […]

Here’s a list of things that are cold: Ice, the other side of the pillow and, sadly, this article. We’ve fallen back down to Earth the past couple of weeks and now sit just 39-34-1 for the season as a whole. But was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Heck no. We persevere. […]

Baseball was drunk last night. Everyone was scoring runs. In fact, 12 different teams managed to put up double-digits in the run column on Tuesday, including every club in the American League Central. You read that right. The league’s lowest-scoring division couldn’t be stopped. What a time to be alive. Will we get another offensive […]

Don’t look now, but we’re somehow just two weeks away from the MLB Trade Deadline. The season is flying past us, while the standings page and the out of town scoreboard become more and more important with each passing day. This is when baseball starts to get hot in the streets, if you will. But […]

Baseball’s back tonight and all 30 teams are scheduled to be in action — though a lot of rain in a lot of places may have different ideas. Still, it’s hard not to be excited, especially after most of use have spent the past few nights betting Summer League basketball and watching paint dry. We’re […]

We’re here once again. The slowest week on the sports calendar. I mean, Wimbledon is obviously a draw and the field at the Scottish Open is decent, but when it comes to the four major North American sports, this time of year is a wasteland. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still find things to […]

Look, I’m not generally a “trends that span a decade” sort of person, but the American League’s dominance over the National League in the All-Star Game is getting a little silly. The AL comes into tonight’s rendition in Seattle having won nine straight Midsummer Classics, and are 21-3-1 in the event dating all the way […]

We’re three days from the MLB All-Star break and two months away from the start of the NFL regular season. The NBA Draft and most of free agency has passed. These are the dog day, folks. As such, you have to sometimes do quirky things — gimmicks, if you will — to keep yourself entertained. […]
