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.
The NBA is back and so are wild Wednesday night slates. After a pair of entertaining games to open up the regular season on Tuesday, a whopping 24 teams are in action this evening to open up their schedules. However, with most teams fresh and healthy, where will you be able to turn for some […]

Sometimes good things happen in life. Sometimes you wake up a minute before your alarm clock was supposed to go off. Sometimes you get an 11th chicken nugget in that box of 10 from McDonalds. Sometimes you get a Game 7 on back-to-back days in the MLB playoffs. The Arizona Diamondbacks will take the field […]

This season has been a bit of a nightmare for the Minnesota Vikings and things don’t get much easier to end Week 7, as the team will line up against the San Francisco 49ers. Can Minnesota pull off the upset? Will both team be at full-strength? Let’s break it all down from a Showdown perspective. […]

Let’s be completely honest. We haven’t gotten the absolute best baseball this year in October. There’s been lopsided games, horrible pitching performances and, of course, lineups that couldn’t get a clutch hit to save their own lives — I’m looking at you Dodgers and Blue Jays. However, that’s what makes a contest like Game 3 […]

Look, I don’t want to completely make this about me and the life choices I made to get to this point in my career, but if there’s one thing I truly hate, it’s writing Showdown articles where we don’t know the status of one team’s star quarterback. It sort of defeats the purpose, you know? […]

Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see? These are presumably the questions the Texas Rangers are scream-singing at each other in the locker room prior to every playoff game. Well, kudos to Scott Stapp and the boys, because it’s working. The Rangers are 7-0 so far in the postseason and […]

Well, the Arizona Diamondbacks finally lost a playoff game on Monday night, falling 5-3 in Game 1 of the NLCS to the Philadelphia Phillies. However, the club will quickly get a chance to rebound on Tuesday, with another pair of aces taking the hill at Citizens Bank Park. Will the young Diamondbacks tie up the […]

I’m not sure if you noticed during yesterday’s action, but the AFC absolutely wiped the floor with the NFC in head-to-head competition. Six games. Six wins. That includes the 49ers and the Eagles losing their previously undefeated campaigns in surprising upsets. Can the Los Angeles Chargers make that a 7-0 record for Week 6 with […]

There’s only one series still going in the Divisional Round of the MLB playoffs, but thankfully, it’s the one with the most storylines. The Braves and the Phillies will square off this evening with the home team just a single win away from advancing to the NLCS for the second consecutive season. ‘Atta boy, Philadelphia. […]

There’s a real chance this contest gets ugly. Time and time again in 2023, the Denver Broncos have proven to be one of the worst teams in football — specifically on the defensive side of the ball. That’s a bad formula in general, but it’s especially bad when you’re about to face-off with Patrick Mahomes […]

According to my very meticulous calculations, this will be the last MLB slate in 2023 with more than two games on it. Believe me. I’ve triple-checked the numbers. We get things going with Game 3 in Philadelphia, then shift our collective focus to a pair of elimination games in Minnesota and Arizona. It’s all quite […]
