We know there will be good performances from other pitchers on this list, but aside from Jon Gray, Robert Gsellman, Luis Severino and maybe Eduardo Rodriguez, you’re not going to find many Ks (unless you want to trust Francisco Liriano, who lasted just a third of an inning in his first start). MORE DFS: Thursday optimal lineup | Lineup Builder Because there aren’t many good all-around options, even of the boom-or-bust variety, the best strategies are probably going with Bumgarner or Darvish or simply trying to get a win (Jordan Zimmermann, Brett Anderson, Rodriguez are your best bets)....

We’re going back to DeMarcus Cousins, who hasn’t played since March 30. The Blazers have actually been able to contain Boogie this season, but he is still the best option at the position on FanDuel. We also love Pau Gasol if Derrick Rose (elbow) is out. MORE DAILY FANTASY: Optimal NBA lineup | MLB DFS Playbook | Play FanDuel NBA!

We begin our Week 6 DFS picks, advice and values for FanDuel, DraftKings and Yahoo by warning you off the Steelers this week.That’s right, their matchup at the Dolphins – a team that just was abused by the “juggernaut” Tennessee Titans – is just too good to be true. It also pushes the prices of most Steelers out of the value range. To win DFS riches, you need to be different than the pack, and most of the pack is going to have some combination of QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB Le’Veon Bell, WR Antonio Brown, WR Sammie Coates and the Steelers D/ST (and K Chris Boswell) in their lineups....

While both share a bond with Penn, the similarities end there. This November, the stakes are higher than ever. The climate, the economy, our health and our lives are on the line.

Presented by the Comedy Central series The Daily Show’s Twitter account, the video alternates footage of two President Trump press conferences, which features two dissimilar statements by the president on the matter of the Kurdish people. “We do get along great with the Kurds. We’re trying to help them a lot,” the President says in a 2018 news clip from a press briefing. “The Kurds are very well protected. And by the way, they’re no angels”, Trump says in footage from 2019....

Worse, the clock is still ticking. NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported Wednesday that there was an offer that Prescott was interested in pursuing, but there wasn’t enough time to wrap it up. The Dallas Morning News reported (subscription required) that the length of the contract remains a sticking point: The Cowboys want to sign Prescott to a five-year deal but Prescott, 26, wants a four-year deal. And still no middle ground could be reached even though this has been a core issue for a long time....

From its first win in 1983 with Ricky Rudd to Harvick’s triumph last week, RCR has celebrated some of the biggest victories in NASCAR history, many of them by hall of famer and seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt, who is featured prominently in this video produced by RCR. Among the Earnhardt victories highlighted are the 1995 Brickyard 400, the 1998 Daytona 500, the 1999 Cup race at Bristol in which he spun Terry Labonte on the final lap and the 2000 race at Talladega in which he won the Winston Million....

Instead, his drafting partner suddenly vanished from his rear bumper and Earnhardt was destined to finish second in yet another restrictor-plate finish.

On Thursday, Cook Children’s Medical Centers in Fort Worth, Texas stated that there’s a high number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), which affects infants, small children and those with compromised immune systems. “Capacity is tight but we are not sending patients to other hospitals at this time,” a Cook Children’s spokesperson told KDFW. “If the situation arises where we cannot accommodate a patient at our hospital, we will find a bed for them at an appropriate facility....

However, the six-time All-Star is showing signs of a turnaround and seems to have regained his touch and form. As is expected of him, he is beginning to make those long ’logo-range’ 3-pointers on a more consistent basis once again and have a hand in the team’s game-changing runs. NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) On Tuesday night in a 119-100 victory the Denver Nuggets, the team’s ninth home win and fourth consecutive overall, he finished with 25 points on an efficient 9-of-13 from the field and 5-of-8 from 3-point distance....

Thomas explained his stance when questioned by fellow analyst Chris Webber on how Lillard can improve. “I think he has to get better as a leader,” Thomas said. “And what I mean — not his physical leadership because we see that on the floor in terms of him being able to shoot the basketball, distribute, everything else — but can he become the type of vocal leader that inspires his players to get better?...
