Behind the numbers
MLB · Analysis · 2026-09-23
Astros and Dodgers: price the available role, not the headline
Houston’s seven-inning relief effort and Ohtani’s expected return raise different availability questions. Neither supports a bet without confirmed roles and a current price.
NFL · Analysis · 2026-09-22
Chargers–Bills: the tight-end reset is bigger than Gadsden's targets
Njoku and Kolar are headed to injured reserve. Gadsden gains opportunity, but replacing their different assignments makes Chargers–Bills a role-based watchlist rather than an automatic under.
