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.
Well, it’s July. Congratulations. We made it. Seeing as this is my first betting article since the calendar flipped, it seems like a decent time to assess our results so far this season. After a 3-0 night last Thursday, we’re now sitting at 38-28 (+11.8u) on article plays for 2023 as a whole. Not too […]

Today is Wednesday. W-E-D-N-E-S-D-A-Y. I just wanted to remind everyone, because it’s the most Monday-feeling Wednesday we’ll get all year. So, with your internal clock all discombobulated and your stomach all full of hot dogs, may I suggest playing few MLB lineups on DraftKings tonight? It’s the exact sort of humbling and grounding experience you […]

Happy Fourth from your neighbor to the north! With it being a holiday in the States, there will be baseball on all day, starting with a game in Washington at 11:05 a.m. ET. That means you’ll have a healthy dose of MLB to accompany your barbeque, beer and fireworks — presented in no particular order. […]

We’re 35-28 on article plays for the season, which, in my head, reads like a Tecmo Super Bowl score. Well, in keeping with that analogy, let’s aim to add a field goal to the win column tonight — preferably one from Pete Stoyanovich. Go Dolphins. It’s a small MLB slate. Let’s dive in. Bet at […]

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 […]

It’s a pretty stacked pitching slate this evening. Not only are there four certified studs available for at least $10K, but the bargain bin is stuffed to the brim with interesting value options. I mean, Dylan Cease ($7,700) and Justin Verlander ($7,300) are both priced less than $8K. They were the top two vote getters […]

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 […]
