It is safe to say that mathematics has never been the most popular subject back at school. While students have come up with many excuses over the years, the lack of tangible, practical use of this mathematical knowledge is definitely a legitimate reason for disliking maths.

At the halfway point in the season, it’s fair to say that not all of the football pundits’ predictions have come true as far as rookies are concerned. Here, however, are a few young quarterbacks that are living up to their potential and could have some relevance for fantasy sport in the future.

Carson Wentz (Philadelphia Eagles)

Michael Conforto is now hitting .455 since being called back up to the majors.

The Mets outfielder is priced at $3600 at DraftKings.  He’s been hovering between $3100 and $4300.

Conforto was starting in center field for the first time in his Major League career Sunday, making his debut the day prior.

On Wednesday, we have The Marlins Wei-Yin Chen (5-3) as the probable starter.  He allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings, but received no decision Friday at the Cardinals. Philadelphia’s starters have hit 19 in 62 at bats with two home runs. 

But who we really like here and someone probably off the radar is the Phillies Jeremy Hellickson, especially with the Phillies playing better than .500 ball over the past month.

DFS911.com has your Wade Miley Daily Fantasy Sports profile for Saturday July 9.

Miley got better results than he has recently in his last start but the Mariners have lost in his last three starts.

Miley will come into this game hungry for a win and Kansas City offers the perfect remedy.

The current Royals roster has batted 71 times against Miley with just 15 hits and a single extra base run (a homer) to show for it.

Kansas City has scored three or fewer runs in six of the last ten games overall.

Taijun Walker has allowed 33 hits off of 122 at bats versus the current Astros roster.  This includes 9 home runs and 17 extra base hits.  Walker is also coming off two starts in which he permitted just a single run in over 11 innings.

In six of his last ten starts, Walker has permitted four or more runs.

These are your heavy hitters

Jose Altuve - 8-for-23 with a homer.  He’s batting .400 over the past seven days and went two for four on Monday.

Evan Gattis - 5-for-15 with two home runs. He is averaging .235 over the past week.

For your DFS roster on Sunday be sure to consider Hisashi Iwakuma, who has allowed a mere 10 hits off of 67 at bats versus the current Baltimore roster, most of whom are currently in a funk.

Iwakuma (7-6) gave up two runs on six hits and a walk with four strikeouts over 6.2 innings in a win Tuesday over the Pirates. (Tue Jun 28)

Iwakuma didn't allow a home run Tuesday night -- he had allowed 17 in his first 15 starts of the season.  He has allowed two against this current Orioles roster.

He should be priced around $6800.

Chris Young (2-7) allowed seven runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Astros.

And here he is facing the St. Louis Cardinals, a team whose roster has managed to hit 22 of 76 at bats against him with 5 home runs.

The primary culprits: Matt Holliday is one.  He’s hit 7 of 24 against him with four extra base hits and is averaging .292 over the past seven days coming into this game.

Holliday homered, a two-run shot, in a 2-for-4 game in Monday's loss to Kansas City.

Arizona is not a terrible team this season (36-42) and Zack Greinke is pitching quite well ((10-3, 3.61), especially on a team that is below the .500 mark.

Greinke is so good that the Diamondbacks are a -220 home favorite against Philadelphia Tuesday with a total of 8.

He’s priced anywhere from $10K to $11K at either DraftKings or FanDuel.

Gambling911.com has noted that significant scoring is expected this weekend between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies with oddsmakers posting totals of 11 to 12 on the Friday and Saturday games and 12 to 12.5 on the Sunday game. The last two games of this four-game series have gone well into the double digits.

Illinois lawmakers are considering a bill that would legalize and tax online Fantasy Sports betting. 

An Illinois House Committee has approved a bill which would allow websites like FanDuel and DraftKings to legally operate despite objections of the Illinois Gaming board, the gambling industry, and some state lawmakers.

The measure would ban company employees as well as those under the age of 21 from playing Daily Fantasy Sports games for real cash.

Not everybody was on board with the legislation.
