The NBA postseason is upon us and so is the excitement that comes with it!

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/8/22)
Wednesday things were looking great as all my underdogs were either leading or hanging in there against their opponents. Then it all came crashing down! The Mavs pulled away from the Pistons and beat them handily and I could live with that loss. But the Knicks led all the way into the fourth quarter and... Read More

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/6/22)
Oh man, we were so close to another perfect night! Player props went a perfect 4-0, the Heat blew out the Hornets, and the Bucks cruised over their team total. But the last two bets missed by one point each! The Grizzlies tied the game against Utah at the buzzer and then proceeded to lose... Read More

Welcome...to the Jungle! That is the NBA betting landscape currently as we have only six days of regular-season games remaining. There are still teams with plenty to play for in terms of seeding, but we know for the most part which ten teams are going to qualify for the postseason at this point with the... Read More
Thunder Dan's "My Guys" For 2022 Fantasy Baseball Drafts
MLB season is almost here and I couldn't be more excited. I am totally copying my buddy Jon Anderson here as he put out his favorite five players last week and had previously brought me and a bunch of other baseball analysts on his fantasy baseball podcast for a special "my guys" episode. I've been... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/3/22)

Friday night was pretty decent for me and hopefully, those of you who tailed some picks from the article as... Read More

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/1/22)
I should have known that I couldn't stay red hot for too long! I followed up Monday's clean sweep with a rather lackluster 5-6 outing on Wednesday. It could have been worse, but I hit a decent amount of props and managed to break even - which sometimes feels like a win when things go... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/1/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
With only about a week of regular-season games remaining, things are getting crazy in the NBA right now. Playing NBA DFS has been difficult and trying to navigate the tanking teams, resting players, and injury situations can certainly be a challenge. But you've come this far...and you're reading this article. So I know you're not... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/30/22)
Monday night was a great night for the article and a much-needed bankroll boost for yours truly! I don't even pretend to be someone who wages large sums of money on sports, but no matter the unit size, it's always nice to get a clean sweep as all of the bets in this piece hit... Read More
Cal Quantrill (SP, CLE) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~240 pick CURRENT ADP: ~264 overall ANALYSIS: Quantrill is a former first-round pick of the Padres back in 2016 at age 21. He moved quickly through low-A ball but stalled out in Triple-A and didn't have the type of minor league success that you'd expect from a top prospect. In 2019,... Read More
Cal Quantrill: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
We are always looking for players to draft who other managers are sleeping on - hence the term sleeper. They can take the form of a player who is coming back from injury, a prospect who is ready to break out, a young player who is looking at more playing time, or even a veteran... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/28/22)
It's always easier writing this article on the day after a solid return on our bets from the previous day. Yesterday I went 2-1 on spreads and 1-1 on totals, but a 4-1 mark on props put it over the top and made it a solid, profitable day and I hope that you were able... Read More
Updated Fantasy Baseball Shortstop Rankings - 5x5 Mixed Roto Leagues
With Spring Training upon us, and the fantasy baseball draft season in full swing, it's time to look at the shortstop position and see who may or may not be fantasy-relevant and worthy of a draft pick this season. RotoBaller's lead MLB rankers - JB Branson, Pierre Camus, Ariel Cohen, Nicklaus Gaut, and Nick Mariano... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/27/22)
The NBA regular season has exactly two weeks left and while some teams are packing it in and shutting down players, other teams are still battling it out and vying for playoff seeding. The top six seeds are ever so important this season as teams try to avoid finishing seventh through tenth and having to... Read More
Aaron Ashby: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
If you're old enough to remember Andy Ashby, then you're probably wondering if Aaron is related and the answer is yes. Aaron is Andy's nephew and the former is a southpaw hurler who made quite a splash in his MLB debut in 2021. While he only threw 31.2 innings for Milwaukee last year, he pitched... Read More
Robbie Ray: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Bust?
Robbie Ray had long been a polarizing figure in fantasy baseball circles. Last season, the Ray truthers were vindicated when he turned in a career year as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays and won the AL Cy Young award. Ray posted a 13-7 record, 2.84 ERA, struck out a league-leading 248 hitters, and... Read More

Everywhere you look there are upsets right now! Two top seeds just went down in the NCAA tournament last night and four of the five underdogs I wrote up in this piece on Wednesday either won or covered. Full disclosure, I bailed on the Lakers once LeBron James was ruled out, but they still covered... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/23/22)
Things went south on Monday night in a hurry and I was quickly reminded that the range of outcomes in the NBA is only going to continue to widen here in the final weeks. My picks went 3-4 but I really struggled ATS with the T-Wolves being my only hit there as they narrowly lost... Read More
Trevor Story Signs With Boston Red Sox - Fantasy Baseball Impact
The Boston Red Sox finally made a splash in the post-lockout free-agent market by signing former Rockies shortstop Trevor Story to a six-year deal worth 140 million dollars. The Red Sox already have a good young shortstop in Xander Bogaerts but plan to move Story to second base and needed to add another impact bat... Read More
Mitch Keller: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
From the time it took me to sign up for this article and write it, the hype surrounding the Pirates' pitcher has picked up significantly which makes this all the more compelling of a situation to analyze. As a long-suffering Pirates fan, my first instinct was to avoid trying to break down Keller's chances of... Read More

If you have a bad case of the "Mondays" because you had to go back to work after watching basketball for four days straight, I get it. I'm with you. But I mean - I watch basketball every day of the year all season long so give the NCAA tournament a break and tune into... Read More
Carlos Correa Signs with Minnesota Twins - Fantasy Baseball Impact
One of the biggest surprises of this post-lockout free agency was probably Correa's move to Minnesota. The 27-year old, gold-glove-winning shortstop took his talents to the Midwest and signed a fat three-year contract worth 105 million dollars in the process. Correa was a staple of the Houston Astros lineup for the last seven seasons and... Read More
Nick Castellanos Signs with Philadelphia Phillies - Fantasy Baseball Impact
The Philadelphia Phillies continued their aggressive offseason by signing free-agent outfielder Nick Castellanos to a five-year, 100-million dollar deal on Friday. This comes after they are already brought in another big bat earlier in the week in lefty Kyle Schwarber who can now likely DH with Castellanos being a more capable fielder. Castellanos is another...

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/20/22)
With only four games in the league yesterday, I opted to take the day off from betting and making picks and enjoyed some college basketball. Thank goodness for the St. Peter's Cinderella story because I realized yesterday that I simply don't enjoy watching college hoops nearly as much as I did when I was younger.... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/18/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have a big ol' 12-game Friday night slate on tap in the NBA and I find myself pinch-hitting (to steal a baseball term and hooray baseball is back soon!) for my colleague Max Kulish today. I have played NBA DFS every day this season and I'm not about to stop now! If you are... Read More
