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.

T’is the season to be hunting for saves on the fantasy baseball waiver wire. Well, speculatively hunting for saves, at least.

It’s always fun to go back and check your work, right? Well, that’s sort of what I’ll be doing today. All the way back on February 20, I wrote an article where I picked three of my favorite “long shot” bets for the 2025 World Series. They were as follows: The Red Sox, the Diamondbacks […]

There are people out there who long for the olden days of baseball, where hitters put the ball in play more often and everyone bunted every other at-bat. Not this guy. I like seeing a never-ending conveyor belt of the nastiest pitchers imaginable. I like strikeouts. I like strikeout props. With that in mind, here […]
