Welcome to TimersSports
Atlanta Recap: Last week was tail of two coins. In Yahoo Fantasy Racing , we struck out with Gordon , Larson and Kahne. Which ended in an 178 points day. Fantasy Live was a completely different story though. After a late minute change , we escaped with 253. Swapping the 48 & 22 for 24 & 11 was genius! Also gambling on the 4 was also a sweet move. All and all , it could've been much worse, right?
Look ahead to Las Vegas: Folks its Vegas week! Where the gambling is big and action is crazy! How do we attack a place like Las Vegas? Typically you want your drivers to start up front and hope the competition get a unlucky roll. Also there are several sleepers in the field this week with significant value. And remember what happens in Vegas , stays in Vegas (winks)!
Yahoo Picks-
A:
Start: Jimmie Johnson (9)
Bench: Kevin Harvick (9)
Reason: It came down to who was better on Saturday? It was Johnson. Harvick was right there though. With Phoenix coming up , it hard to use Harvick. Especially if you already used one at Daytona or Atlanta.
B:
Start: Martin Truex Jr (9) , Carl Edwards (9)
Bench: Paul Menard (9) , Kasey Kahne (8)
Reason: Truex Jr was fast every practice session and seems to love his car. Edwards get the nod because I don't feel like using a 2nd Kahne start. Menard seems way off to be honest.
C:
Start: Regan Smith (9)
Bench: David Ragan (8)
Reason: I am using Smith because I want to get few start out of Smith , especially since the Busch news broke. Even though I think he still quite awhile from being reinstated.
Fantasy Live - 48,4,78,41 and 19
Sleeper Pick - Martin Truex Jr
Race Winner - Jimmie Johnson
