Phew. Thank you, Mets, for avoiding a sweep. Imagine if all four wild card series had been sweeps and we didn’t have any baseball Sunday? And therefore no DFS baseball Sunday?

Then, you have a Megastar, who earns two times the points. Here’s a lineup that looked good to me for Sunday’s game. MEGASTAR Pete Alonso, NYM… Source link

UCLA is for real.

The NFLPA called on the league to put the change into effect in time for this weekend’s games: “Our union has… Source link
