The American Express field is set to feature 10 of the top 20 and three of the top five golfers in the world, with Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Patrick Cantlay the headliners. Rahm is listed at the 11-2 betting favorite in the latest American Express odds from…

When odds were first released on this prop, it was the Suns were the -200 chalk. Brooklyn was the second betting choice at+700. The Nets are aiming high in their demands for Durant. Too high for the tastes of potential deal partners, it would appear. Durant does bring a lot to the floor, after all. He's an NBA champion, former NBA Finals MVP,…

Well, Angels fans. I guess there is some hope after all. MLB.com writer Will Leitch decided to have some fun, and predict who would win the next 10 World Series. And, what was probably a surprise to many, the Angels did in fact make the list. Not even just as a World Series participant, but as a winner. And the best news of all, it's before Mike…

Playoff time is here and NFL fans are revved up for Wild Card weekend. The San Francisco 49ers come into the playoffs as the hottest team in the league, winning 10 in a row and are the heavy favorites in the Seahawks vs 49ers odds for this matchup. Although the underdogs have been the moneymakers to cover the spread in recent history on Wild Card…

The Toronto Raptors carry a three-game winning streak into tonight's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The pregame narrative: Scottie Barnes has been producing in 2023 and he should have ample opportunities to score and distribute against Atlanta's poor interior defence.

NBA Rookie of the Year odds don't suggest there's much of a race to run. Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero is priced as the runaway favorite, but there's a lot of basketball to be played. Banchero is lapping the rookie class with odds as short as -1200 (DraftKings, Caesars). Those who venture to FanDuel or BetMGM can bet on him at -1000 - if…

The talent level in the NBA is as even as it's ever been. Though parity remains an evergreen theme as the season progresses, it's not because teams are short on talent - it's actually the opposite. The Indiana Pacers, for example, are exceeding expectations hovering above.500 in January with rookie Bennedict Mathurin stepping up with an immediate…

We are less than two weeks into the 2023 calendar year, but we've got bold predictions of a litany of things that will go down in Major League Baseball over the course of the next 11.5 months. Most of our predictions are about things that will happen during the 2023 MLB season, of course. A breakout rookie. An unlikely MVP. A surprise AL West…

Yesterday was a fairly quiet day for MLB roster moves, with Carlos Correa finally having successfully completed a physical and signed with Minnesota to take the last remaining big-name free agent off the market. But there was still some notable baseball news, as ESPN's Buster Olney reported that all Triple-A parks will use an electronic strike…

As of June 8, the Detroit Tigers have the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball. Wait, what? The same Detroit Tigers whose abysmal late-game pitching potentially cost them multiple World Series appearances and - potentially - wins? The ones who threw money at proven veterans with excellent track records only to turn into pumpkins in Detroit? Yes, the…

The Indiana Pacers, for example, are exceeding expectations hovering above.500 in January with rookie Bennedict Mathurin stepping up with an immediate…

The NBA trade deadline is a month away, and there is plenty of chatter circulating among league executives about what might happen before the Feb. 9 deadline. Several teams are maneuvering - trying to improve their rosters, reduce their payrolls, acquire draft picks, figure out if a player on an expiring contract is worth keeping or trading. What…

MLB.com writer Will Leitch used his crystal ball to predict the next ten World Series champions. It's a very strange list comprised of ten different World Series winners. It's a list that could bring some laughs and tears of joy to Los Angeles Angels fans. In 2023 he has the Dodgers somehow winning the World Series defeating the Blue Jays. The same…

I write this piece every year, but I never could have predicted what happened in 2021. Usually, "bold predictions" come up short because they're too bold. For instance, last year I picked Austin Slater to hit more homers than in his previous four seasons combined (he came close, missing by two!) and Duane Kuiper projected double-digit homers for…

We have reached the halfway mark of the 2022-23 NBA season, with voting pools for each of the end of season awards beginning to take shape such as 6th Man of the Year.

The New York Mets may have lost out on free agent superstar Carlos Correa, but they remain legitimate World Series contenders in 2023. However, the Mets no longer can be considered favorites to win a championship next season. Just three weeks ago, Mets owner Steve Cohen said as much. Breaking the news that New York had reached a 12-year, $315…

About half of the NBA is in action on Tuesday, allowing for plenty of player prop opportunities. The pregame narrative: Tonight's Cavaliers/Jazz game marks the return of Donovan Mitchell to Utah, but we're actually targeting two other players in that matchup.

Smith may have known he was being thrown overboard before kickoff on Sunday. The Texans won…

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been around for over a century, and over that time, they've managed to win their fair share of World Series (7, to be precise). But in recent years, the team has fallen on hard times. They have made the playoffs three times since 2017 but only won the title in 2020. The Dodgers are hoping for their 8th win this year…

The former New York Knicks star got himself a win of a different kind on a recent episode of the famous television show, 'The Price is Right.' While it may not have been a showcase win, former Indiana Pacers star Jared Jeffries did walk off the stage at Bob Barker Studios a big winner. The 11-year NBA veteran managed to win himself a brand-new car…

After the majority of the NBA was in action on Sunday, the league has scheduled a relatively modest six-game slate on Monday. The pregame narrative: Paolo Banchero has a soft defence to exploit while the opposite could be said for Jalen Brunson. Jaylen Brown also has an opportunity to make things happen on the glass against an undersized foe. Find…

MLB Trade Rumors | Simon Hampton: Entering the season with Aaron Hicks, Oswaldo Cabrera, and a bunch of recent minor signings battling it out for the starting left field gig doesn't sound entirely optimal.

Endurance races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the 24 Hours of Daytona are a completely different beast to NASCAR. They require much more of a driver, and the toughness of such races is evident by the fact that Jimmie Johnson is yet to win the event.
