Yahoo DFS Baseball: Sunday Picks

Yahoo DFS Baseball: Sunday Picks

Here we go! Two teams could clinch a spot in the World Series on Sunday! The Astros and Phillies are both one win away. Can they pull it off? For now, here are my DFS recommendations. First pitch is at 2:37 p.m. ET. Pitching Zack Wheeler, PHI vs. SD ($40): Getting Wheeler as the lowest-salaried pitcher is, frankly, a steal. In fact, he arguably has the highest upside of any pitcher in action. He had an 1.85 ERA at home this season. Nestor Cortes was also quite good at home, but the Astros are… Source link

Why U.S tech controls on China, could end up hurting American semiconductors

When the US first banned sales of certain tech products to Chinese tech firm Huawei three years ago, it crippled a once-proud national champion and sent ripples across the US semiconductor industry.

The Biden administration’s latest tech controls threaten to accelerate those losses, throwing the global semiconductor sector into disarray. And Chinese companies… Source link

Serena Williams on being a VC: ‘Sometimes winning looks different’

Serena Williams, tennis legend and venture-capital investor, took the stage with business partner Alison Rapaport Stillman this week at TechCrunch Disrupt, noting that winning looks different in VC-land than it does on the tennis court. “Usually when you’re investing as early stage as we are, seed and pre-seed, you don’t get 100% winners,” Williams told the audience. “Sometimes winning isn’t about having a unicorn or a $500 million company,” she added. “Sometimes winning looks different, but… Source link
