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.
Doubt I’m breaking news here, but Thursday marks the beginning of a new NFL season. A glorious time where all 32 teams have hope and your fantasy roster in season-long has yet to be destroyed by injuries. Well, unless you drafted Travis Kelce ($12,000; knee), but we’ll get to that in a second. It’s the […]

Despite a glut of teams taking the field at 6:40 p.m. ET, tonight’s featured MLB contests on DraftKings will get going just after 7:00 p.m. ET, making this a small six-game slate. Still, we’ve got Spencer Strider ($12,300), Max Scherzer ($11,000) and Justin Verlander ($10,200) all toeing the rubber. Which of those three aces leads […]

Labor Day might signify the end of summer for students and teachers, but for me, as long as baseball is still being played, it’s the dog days. As per usual on a Tuesday, we’ve got a 15-game slate on this diamond this evening. Here are a couple of my favorite bets. Bet at a top […]

It’s a big week in the world of fantasy football. We all know this. Heck, there’s a decent chance that you’ve got drafts lined up from now till kickoff on Thursday night. Doesn’t leave a lot of time for MLB DFS prep, does it? That’s where I come in. Allow me to do the research […]

As we close out August and head into the final month of MLB’s regular season, allow me to take a moment to look back. Despite what’s certainly been an underwhelming performance since the All-Star break, we’re 55-51-1 on article plays for the season. We’ve also got futures at plus-money for the Yankees to miss the […]

There’s a whole lot of afternoon baseball taking place today, which leaves us with only a six-game featured slate for the evening crowd. But don’t worry, that doesn’t meant we’re short on storylines. The likely AL Cy Young winner is taking the mound in Detroit. A 25-year-old rookie pitcher will be making his debut at […]

I know it’s Coors Field, but I feel the need to point out that the total for tonight’s Braves-Rockies game is 12.5 on the DraftKings Sportsbook. It’s just wild to see a number like that, no matter how justified it might be. It’s also worth noting that I’ve set the number at 1.5 for the […]

It’s the final week of August, and for teams trying to make the playoffs, every game is suddenly seven-times more important. Tonight alone, we’ve got a battle for the NL Central in Chicago, a battle for a Wild Card spot in Boston and, if you squint a little, a battle for the AL Central crown […]

It’s almost September. You know, the last month of the MLB regular season? I’m not quite sure where the time has gone, but I know for certain that we have five weeks of tense, thrilling and heart-stopping baseball to go before the playoffs. It keeps going tonight with all 30 teams in action on the […]

We’ve been pretty good on our MLB plays lately, going 7-1 in the last three articles. That salvages the season as a whole after a terrible month of July, bringing our record to 51-48-1. Add in some looming Spring Training futures — I’m looking at you Diamondbacks and Twins — and things have been relatively […]

We’ve only got a six-game featured slate tonight on DraftKings, but many of those contests are of massive importance to the playoff picture in both the AL and NL. Toronto, Boston and Houston are all currently fighting for a Wild Card spot, while the Reds are also trying to stay alive in the hunt for […]
