Stream Plays is completely new, and a first-of-its-kind way to follow the action. It's one live feed of the plays from every game in a league, each scored in your fantasy scoring. It feels like being in the red zone with your players, for every game at once. If you're tracking a prop on the player, the play tells you where your bet stands. No more refreshing box scores.

The betting tools you know and love are all still here. Optimal EV, the EV Cheat Sheets, Sharp Books, Trends and Arbitrage now live together in one Betting tab, so every tool is a tap away.

The NLCS shifts to Dodger Stadium for Game 3, and the night runs through Blake Snell. He is the highest-rated arm on the board by a wide margin, with a ceiling of nearly ten strikeouts roughly one night in ten. Robert Gasser, Milwaukee's starter, carries a far shorter leash, and a quick exit would hand the Dodgers lineup extra looks at a bullpen.

Cole Caufield owns the widest shot ceiling in Washington: roughly one night in ten he reaches six, a notch above anything Alex Ovechkin's ceiling allows. If Montreal is going to steal one on the road, the volume runs through Caufield's stick.
