One of the biggest inefficiencies in FanDuel and DraftKings contests, at least in terms of roster construction, is identifying righthanded pitchers who are better against lefthanded batters. It’s naturally assumed – and usually, rightly so – that lefthanded batters have a big advantage against righties, which is why we don’t even bother pointing out the potential extra value Rangers’ lefties get when Mike Wright is on the mound or potential Cardinals’ sleepers (righties and lefties) going against Jon Moscott....

The obvious stacks are Nationals righties (vs. Chad Bettis) and Rockies righties (vs. Gio Gonzalez) in Colorado, Cubs righties against Chase Anderson, Tigers lefties against Danny Duffy, and Angels righties against James Paxton. On the pitching side, there are plenty of good options, including a bunch of starters currently on hot streaks (Jose Quintana, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jason Hammel, Danny Duffy, Justin Verlander, Ervin Santana, Jameson Taillon). It shouldn’t be hard to find a good pitcher, regardless of your budget....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Russia’s Olga Zabelinskaya protested her innocence after winning the silver medal in the women’s time trial on Wednesday, a week after almost flying home because a previous doping ban looked like ruling her out of the Olympics.

Michael “Shagg” Washington, best known as the backup singer in Cypress Hill, has filed a lawsuit against Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive six years after the game’s release. Michael believes he has a case because the game’s main character “CJ” not only bares a resemblance to the way he looked at the time of the game’s launch, but has a nearly identical life story. I’m not sure why he would allow Samuel L....

While most people with CF can get pregnant and have healthy babies, the condition can cause problems with fertility, complicate pregnancy, and lead to the birth of premature or small babies. Although it doesn’t appear to take a long-term toll, the demands of pregnancy on your body can temporarily make your CF worse. Planning your pregnancy for a time when your cystic fibrosis is well controlled can help you avoid many of the potential problems....

With Wi-Fi 6 fast becoming the standard for home networks, it’s about time that we started seeing cheaper devices hitting the shelves, and the D-Link M15 is very competitively priced. The three-pack – which I was sent for this review – is priced at $119.99 / £179, and promises up to 500 square metres of coverage. Smaller homes with less demanding requirements can likely get away with a 2-pack, which is priced at $99 / £120, and promises 370 square metres of coverage....

Talking ahead of their first match against the Bengal Warriors tomorrow, senior player and one of the league’s top raider Kashiling Adake said, “Delhi is a place filled with extremely passionate people and that showed last year when they came to support us here. “This year too, I expect the same.

Despite myriad technical problems that have continued to plague the game and its reputation since launch, Cyberpunk’s story was one that resonated with players, and not just because of Keanu Reeves (though that helps). Its story was one that sought to strike at the heart of what being a Cyberpunk means; it’s about legacy, dreams, and living in spite of capitalism’s venomous miasma. For many, it was the diamond hiding underneath layers of Night City’s filth that kept them engaged, and what others thought wasn’t worth the hassle of playing through such a flawed game....
