2026 MLB Umpire Report – Saturday’s Strike Zone
MLB Umpire Report | Saturday, September 19th – If you’ve followed me over the years, you know I use home plate umpire tendencies to help identify the best strikeout prop opportunities on the board. With Swish Analytics no longer providing the data I previously relied on, the focus now is on umpire tendencies, strikeout props, recent pitcher form, and opponent strikeout rates.

2026 NFL DFS Contest Selection: Week 2
What’s up, Mafia! I’m back for another season of NFL DFS. Every week during the season, I will highlight the featured contests with the best payouts on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The contests I like to target the most are the single-entry contests offered by both sites. Generally, FanDuel seems to have more single-entry contests with better payouts, but I also don’t mind playing contests with a 3-5 entry max. Once we narrow down the best single-entry or 3-5 entry max contests, it’s all about finding the right payout structure. I’m looking for contests where more than 20% of the field gets paid, with 25% or higher being the preferred target… Every week during the season, I am going to highlight the featured contests with the best payouts on both FanDuel and DraftKings.

I will also give you insight into my process and how I break down Jeff Mans’ Cash Game article. I use 95% of the same players you will find in Jeff’s article. There may be a player I use from my own player pool. Jeff’s plays aren’t gospel, but the philosophies are. Cash games have changed, and while many will run away from them, and I don’t blame them, I will still try to crack the code of Cash Games. Stacking in cash is something that I will not try to do every week, but we can’t just simply remove a player from our player pool because we already have a player from his team. I still believe in being different and not stacking, but at times, it may become a necessary evil. Remember to…
