Prior to that, he was the former sports editor for the Harvard Crimson, where he covered the football team for two years and earned four Story of the Year nominations from the Associated College Press.

Part of the appeal of the 32-team FIFA Club World Cup is the prospect of getting matches that deserve to be finals several rounds earlier. This quarterfinal clash between French and European champions Paris Saint-Germain and German giants Bayern Münich certainly qualifies. Only one of these two teams can advance to Wednesday’s semifinal, where they’ll […]

It’s been eight years, three World Series appearances, and two titles, and I’m still not sure Los Angeles Dodgers fans have gotten over the 2017 World Series. Every time the Dodgers suit up against the Houston Astros, the animosity is palpable. And it should be — genuine rivalries are good for baseball. In the opening […]

Independence Day is a good time to celebrate the American national pastime, head out to the ballpark, and chow down on some hot dogs and Cracker Jack. DraftKings is celebrating July 4th too, as today’s featured DFS contest includes a $17.76 entry fee and $150,000 worth of prizes. Since it’s an eight-game slate, I’m going […]

It’s fitting that all but one of the games today on the early afternoon slate for Independence Day features a team wearing red, white, and blue. For the 4:10 p.m. game, that’s the Minnesota Twins, will host the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays will be starting Zack Littell, while the Twins are opting for Chris […]

This Club World Cup quarterfinal matchup seemed the least likely of the four, as Brazilian side Fluminense will take on Saudi giants Al Hilal, with the winner going on to face either Chelsea or Palmeiras in New Jersey next Wednesday for a spot in the final. How the two sides got here was impressive: Fluminense […]

A Thursday MLB game means that a team is either starting or finishing a four-game series, which usually doesn’t lead to excellent pitching matchups. That’s the case today: just the San Francisco Giants’ Robbie Ray ($10,000) is a traditional “star” with a DFS salary north of $9,000. You still have to have two pitchers as […]

So far, 2025 has been the season of Napheesa Collier. The 28-year-old forward finished as the runner-up to A’ja Wilson in last season’s MVP chase, but she’s poised to do one better and finally get her hands on that coveted silverware in 2025. She’s currently a -260 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook, as her Minnesota Lynx […]

In an otherwise dead part of the sports calendar, the WNBA has an opportunity to attract plenty of eyeballs tonight. Two nights after the Commissioner’s Cup concluded with the Indiana Fever lifting the trophy for the first time, 10 of the league’s 13 teams will be in action, and they all should be well-rested, with […]

Notoriously, baseball is the one major American sport without a salary cap. Unfortunately, DraftKings’ DFS contests do, so if you want to earn tonight’s $50,000 first prize, you’ll have to hope for excellent production from some budget options. Here are some of my favorites from tonight’s seven-game featured slate: Set your DraftKings fantasy baseball lineups […]

On this Wednesday, we’re exactly halfway through 2025 and slightly more than halfway through the MLB season; most teams have played either 85 or 86 games. Thankfully, we still have a full-sized slate for tonight’s featured DFS contest on DraftKings. Here is one pitcher, one infielder, and one outfielder who needs to be in your […]

When a tall, lanky 20-year-old from Dallas donning number 54 made his MLB debut on May 25, 2008, not even he could have predicted the career he was about to have. He has won three Cy Young Awards, two World Series titles, and one NL MVP. He has the case as the greatest Los Angeles […]
