A +EV Entry to $21M Survivor, and the Skill That Wins It

Enter the $21M Survivor contest on Splash with code OPTIMAL and get a $100 credit plus a 100% QuickPicks boost, so you're +EV before the season even kicks off.

So how do you play Survivor? Every week, you pick NFL teams to win. Win, you advance. Lose, you're out. The one rule that changes everything: you can never use the same team twice all season.

That's what separates the sharp from the field. Every team is a resource you spend once. Burn a heavy favorite on an easy Week 2 matchup and you won't have them in Week 15 when you're desperate for a safe pick. The players who win aren't guessing, they're reading the full season, pricing out the traps, and sequencing their picks so they always have ammo left when the board gets thin. If you already find edges the market misses, this is the same skill applied across eighteen weeks.

And the prize is real. $21,000,000 guaranteed, the largest Survivor contest in history.

Junior Caminero Outprojects Every Blue Jays Bat Tonight

Tampa Bay heads to Rogers Centre in the middle of a good week, with Toronto having dropped four straight and fading from the last AL Wild Card spot. The model likes the Rays to keep it going, giving them a real shot on the road tonight. And no one on either roster profiles better at the plate than Junior Caminero.

MLB · Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays · 3:07 ET

Rogers Centre · Market: TOR -110, total 8.5

Junior Caminero is projected for the most combined hits, runs and RBIs of anyone in this game, ahead of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Yandy Diaz and every other bat on either side. Toronto's lineup has gone quiet during the losing streak, and the projections don't see much changing tonight — only Guerrero Jr. and Ernie Clement sit anywhere near Tampa Bay's top three. Shane Bieber takes the ball for Toronto looking to snap the slide, but it's Caminero's bat, not either starter, carrying the most weight on this card.
