Even though the US Open is taking center stage on this Thursday, there is still plenty of MLB action to look forward to. Not only is DraftKings offering a three-game early MLB slate — MLB $100K Relay Throw [$25K to 1st] (Early) — there’s also a four-game late slate that locks at 7:40 p.m. ET. […]

Of course, the NL West is far from being decided — that’ll happen at some point in September — but this week’s series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres will go a long way towards crystallizing it. Los Angeles won the first game of the series and leads the division by […]

The Indiana Fever have mostly survived without Caitlin Clark. Since Indiana’s star guard suffered a quadriceps strain, the Fever have gone 2-2, including a blowout win over the Chicago Sky. Across that span, they’ve had the league’s third-best net rating and, most critically, the fourth-best offense. Clark has since returned to practice, but she’s not […]

The 2023 Las Vegas Aces set the record for the best winning percentage in a 40-game WNBA season, finishing 34-6, and in 1998, the Houston Comets went 27-3. That’s the kind of company the defending champion New York Liberty, who are off to an 8-0 start, are chasing, although it’s worth noting that the Minnesota […]

Last week, the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers played a four-game series against the team that they took out in the National League Championship Series on their way to their second title in five seasons.

Although Roman Anthony ($4,000) didn’t get a hit last night in his MLB debut, finishing zero-for-four, he needs to look no further than Jac Caglianone ($3,300) to show that fortunes can turn around quickly, as Caglianone notched a four-hit game in just his sixth start as a pro. Anthony and Caglianone will be just fine. […]

Both the Los Angeles Sparks and the Dallas Wings are in the middle of lengthy rebuilding processes after finishing with 8-32 and 9-31 records, respectively, the two worst marks in the league. Thankfully, both teams have building blocks for the future; Wings guard Paige Bueckers has been everything she was advertised to be, while the […]

The Athletics’ long-awaited drought finally came to an end last night, when they beat the Minnesota Twins, 14-3, in an offensive explosion at Sutter Health Park. First baseman Tyler Soderstrom hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and young shortstop Jacob Wilson went deep as well. It was just the Athletics’ second win in […]

So far this season, the most evenly-matched division has been the AL West, as the first- and last-placed teams in the division are separated by just 11 games. That would’ve been even closer had the Athletics not gone on a disastrous 1-20 run to fall to last place. The Seattle Mariners currently sit second in […]

It’s one of the greatest days in sports: Tarik Skubal ($11,500) day. The reigning AL Cy Young and pitching triple crown winner, who also happens to play for the best team in baseball, is must-see TV. In addition to Skubal, here are seven other players I’m targeting from tonight’s 12-game featured DFS slate on DraftKings. […]
