Are you kidding me?? Last night made my head spin. We took the over in Astros and Red Sox, which looked dead through seven innings. The Red Sox scored three runs late in the game, which edged out a win by half a run. I was feeling good! Massive comeback by the Red Sox, and all we needed was a scoreless fifth inning from the Dodgers and…

The New York Mets are without three members of their rotation, including Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer, but you'd never know it by their performance on their recently concluded six-game homestand.

MESA, Ariz. -- There is a lot of talk around the Cubs about striking that balance between contending now and building for the future.

Breaking NFL news. The Cleveland Browns have been eliminated from postseason play. Our friend Joe from Brooklyn.

Milwaukee's Aaron Ashby (2-10, 4.24 ERA) has been…

Another 1-1 day yesterday, but I feel the tides are beginning to turn. I used this exact sentence yesterday, and it still bodes true. We took the under in Twins vs. Tigers, which hit pretty easily. We saw one blow-up inning from the Twins as Bailey Ober had a rough fifth inning. It didn't matter, as those were the last runs scored in the game, with…

With all the (justified) excitement over the possibility that Carlos Correa might sign with the Chicago Cubs in the winter in exchange for an asteroid's worth of currency, and the (less justified) hope that a certifiable ace such as Jacob deGrom or Justin Verlander might join the club, it's worth evaluating the depth of the hole in which the Cubs…

With the 2022 MLB season only two days away, there's still speculation about who will make the Chicago Cubs Opening Day roster and how the lineup will look. How does it all shake out?
