Hi there 🤖 👋

Dalic has fast become a household name after guiding Croatia to their first World Cup decider, with France standing in the way of the Balkan nation and a remarkable title in Moscow Sunday. The 51-year-old replaced Ante Cacic as Croatia struggled during qualifying, though Dalic oversaw a successful play-off against Greece to reach Russia 2018. Dalic – who worked his way up the ranks in Asia where he led UAE giants Al Ain to the 2016 AFC Champions League final – now stands on the cusp of Croatia’s biggest achievement....

Options galore for Masvidal, says Dana White Speaking to Jim Rome, White said that there are a lot of options for Masvidal to explore at the moment, given that he is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC right now. While the fight against Usman still remains a possibility for Masvidal, the name that has been doing the rounds as Gamebred’s suitor is former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor....

Daniel Cormier told Yahoo! Sports that the entire situation started when one of his teammates tested positive for COVID-19. While this prompted him and his entire circle involved in the camp to take tests, the initial results came out negative. What struck Daniel Cormier as odd was the fact that he started feeling unusually fatigued, and it poured onto his training sessions. The Oura Ring alerted Daniel Cormier to the fact that he needed to take a step back, and he told his coaches about his condition before visiting a doctor and testing positive for COVID-19....

The Nationals, facing the end of their season on Tuesday, won Game 6 to set up Wednesday’s final encounter as Stephen Strasburg starred in Houston. But the postgame conversation was dominated by an incident that ultimately had no impact on the outcome, with Martinez ejected as he fumed at an interference call against Trea Turner. With Washington up 3-2, Turner was deemed to have interfered with Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel, meaning he was called out when the Nationals would otherwise have had two runners in scoring position....

Solskjaer took over as Manchester United boss in 2018 and his side have finally started to click this season. The Red Devils are currently second in the Premier League and are also challenging for the UEFA Europa League and the FA Cup this season. Former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham has been full of praise for his former teammate. Speaking to the press at MLS side Inter Miami’s shirt launch, Beckham said:...

The Rays, Pirates and Rangers offer some nice stats-based stacking opportunities in the early games, while the late games feature three lefties and a couple righties who noticeably struggle against lefthanded batters (plus Archie Bradley and Ricky Nolasco). If you’re going to play the late-afternoon slate, you better hope you pick the right stack because there are plenty to go around – with a Giants stack in Colorado almost certainly being the most popular....

Sorry for the delay. Let’s get right to Saturday’s starting pitcher picks and rankings for daily fantasy baseball and seasonal formats. You should also cross-reference these against the daily rankings in Fantasy Alarm’s DFS Playbook PRO to find the values we both love. MORE: Waiver wire | Prospect rankings | DFS Playbook PRO As usual, we’ll also have the day’s best daily fantasy hitter picks to help you find the best values on FanDuel and DraftKings....

Today’s Playbook is bypassing the early games to focus only on where the money is in the evening slate of games. If I were playing the early games, I would be all over Chris Sale and Carlos Martinez as my starters with Danny Salazar coming in a close third. I would also use a lot of Reds bats against Chad Bettis and Rockies against Raisel Iglesias. Matt Holliday is also an amazing value against Kyle Hendricks, against whom he is 6-for-10 (....

Weather really screwed us yesterday as we were super high on many of the Rockies bats, but had to fade them across the board because of serious rain and weather concerns. Obviously, after 17 runs and 19 hits that was a pretty bad idea. Luckily there are no weather concerns in Colorado or anywhere else really tonight. Atlanta has storms in the area, but not likely to touch the ballpark....

The Fantasy Alarm team had a profitable Monday, as our GPP optimal lineup hit big last night. We sincerely hope our various DFS offering helped everyone put up a big score. Soon, we’ll be heading back to the Playboy Mansion to defend our title. First, we have a full slate of games to tackle on Tuesday in hopes of continuing our success.

Let’s take a look at some of the best (and most unique) options, with tournaments in mind here: RELATED: SP rankings | Hitter Splits | DFS Playbook STARTING PITCHER: Chad Bettis, Rockies @ Padres ($5,400) There are plenty of mid-level starting pitcher options tonight, so I doubt you’ll need to drop down this far, but if you do, Bettis makes a lot of sense. In a large tournament you need to find smart ways to differentiate your lineup from the rest of the field, and no one will be on Bettis here....

“Forever thankful for the love & support I’ve received,” Prescott wrote. “I’ll be back stronger and better. Thank you all (raised fist).” MORE: How long is Dak Prescott out? Prescott’s post was in response to a Cowboys official post of a video of players sending their well wishes to Prescott. Offensive stars Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper were both prominently featured in Dallas’ video. It was the first social media activity on one of Prescott’s accounts since the injury....

The NASCAR Hall of Famer announced on his podcast Thursday that his wife, Amy, gave birth to the couple’s second child, a girl named Nicole Lorraine, on Monday. MORE: Dale Jr. had hilarious response to learning he was going to have a second child Both names have a family connection, Earnhardt said: Nicole is Amy’s middle name and Lorraine is the middle name of Dale Jr.’s late mother. The couple’s first child, a girl named Isla Rose, was born in 2018....

This comes after the UFC president previously announced that one of the winners will be added to the game as part of a unique reward this season. So when the time came to finally choose which one it would be, White asked the people to decide between fan favorites Rosas Jr. and Nickal. However, the results of the polls vary from one social media platform to another. Feeling generous, the UFC boss decided to include both of this season’s standouts....

In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, president of the UFC, Dana White, was seen calling Cormier out for being ‘a little dramatic,’ considering that ‘DC’ has now vacated his light heavyweight belt, in effect, making way for the new champion. In case you didn’t know… Following his UFC 226 first-round knockout win against former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Stipe Miocic, Daniel Cormier went on to become the promotion’s first fighter to hold both the light heavyweight and heavyweight belts, together, at one time....

“I’m Bill T. Jones, I’m a choreographer, and I’m living with HIV,” “I’m Paco, I had a brain tumor.” “I’m Laura, and I’m recovering from ovarian cancer.” “I’m Tamika, and I have HIV.” After that, they start over, saying their names again and again-“So it becomes a litany of names,” says Jones. Round and round the circle the names flow, first emerging shyly and then effortlessly, as if at last they were freed from their moorings....
