Like Clayton Kershaw, whenever Jake Arrieta pitches, he’s head-and-shoulders above everyone (unless Kershaw is also pitching that day, I suppose).

The biggest risk is Mets’ starter Steven Matz, who has been sidelined with a sore elbow, but with a nice matchup against the Brewers, Matz is worth investing in again....
The MLB season officially launched last week, as did the prices of quite a few players in terms of daily fantasy baseball salary. The value algorithms are sometimes just as frustrating as the owners in your season-long league who want to trade you Eugenio Suarez for Clayton Kershaw. The key to any DFS strategy is understanding when to pay and when not to pay for players riding a big wave of production....
Below we’ll consider the budget required for the most popular stacks, then run down a few contrarian options that the public will fade hard (and with good reason). However, these complements also possess realistic enough upside to elevate lineups in small player-pool tournaments through a contrarian addition on the likely more popular stacks.

Did you find all the attention in America to be humorous? Surprising more than anything else. Celebrity and hard-news journalism are not natural bedfellows. I find it hard to sit around and talk about how popular I am. It just sounds vain [laughs]. Why do you think you have such huge appeal? I think it is the program. There is obviously an appetite for international news in America, contrary to popular perception....
“I think that you should expect and will expect an adjustment of the contemporary way or the present way that marijuana is being thought about,” Jones said while appearing on 105.3 The Fan. In NFL’s current collective bargaining agreement (CBA), a player who tests positive for marijuana for the first time is placed into a substance abuse program but is not suspended. If a player tests positive a second time they will receive a two-game suspension, which increases with each failed test....

At times, he makes the game look easy. This season, however, has been anything but simple. The Trail Blazers got off to a rough start and are now fighting for their playoff lives. They’ve added a good frontcourt player in Jusuf Nurkic, but everybody knows this is Lillard’s team. He’s averaging 26.9 points per game, and after scoring a season-high 49 points in Miami on Sunday, Sporting News was able to catch up with the speedy Lillard....
Today’s best pitcher picks are pretty clear in both the afternoon slate (Jake Arrieta) and evening slate (Jose Fernandez). Of course, both are expensive, and you might not want to be like everyone else and have those two guys in all of your lineups. Fortunately, there are other good options, including a few good values.
