Blue Jays 3 at Angels 7 You didn’t really think they were going to get a sweep, right? The Jays were in tough against Jose Soriano, off to the kind of start that only a handful of pitchers have in the last century. And it was easy to see why he’s yet to allow more […]
After one of their best games on offense last night, the Brewers are back for game two of their series against the Tigers this evening. Though Chad Patrick was announced as the original starter, the Brewers have decided to go with DL Hall as an opener tonight. Hall will likely pitch an inning or two, […]
The Yankees have epitomized what it means to go through the ebbs and flows of a baseball season, even if we’re not even four weeks into the 2026 season. They started 7-1, lost 8 of their next 11, which included a five-game losing streak, and have now rebounded to win four in a row heading […]
Well folks, we’ve got ourselves a series. If the Braves can win tonight, they’ll at least ensure that their streak of not losing series goes on through another midweek and they can go for an impactful series win of a four-game series on the road. If not, then the pressure will be on to salvage […]
After a very complete performance last night, the Nats are back in action tonight. They split the first two games of the series, so the Nats will look to secure at least a split tonight. Grabbing a split against a team the caliber of the Braves would be big for this young group. As usual, […]

The 2026 NFL draft is upon us. This is called “draft week,” and all sorts of things occur. Suddenly, healthy players have injury scares, athletes continue to rise and fall on draft big boards, and NFL head coaches are seen in hot tubs with the media. For the Arizona Cardinals, this is a critical draft. […]
Well, the Orioles did what they needed to do and won their series against the worst team in the American League. But it sure as heck wasn’t easy. The O’s took the rubber game in Kansas City, 8-6, behind a six-run explosion in the top of the sixth, then held on for dear life to […]

Detroit Tigers infielder Colt Keith is rolling in the early going of the 2026 season, and after two years of incredibly slow starts to seasons, that’s a positive development. On the other hand, Keith’s hot hand early on has led to a lot of frustration in the fanbase with the fact that manager AJ Hinch […]

The Rangers play game two of their series against the Pirates this evening. Wyatt Langford is out of the lineup, and per the beats, he’s apparently going on the i.l. […]
Sometimes one run is all it takes. That was the case for the San Diego Padres yesterday in their win over the Colorado Rockies. It was, by far, the lowest scoring game at Coors Field ever, with only one run being tallied in the hitter-friendly park. Both starters had it working, but it was Randy […]
A day after ending the losing streak, Kansas City got into a back-and-forth battle with Baltimore. The scoring started early with both teams getting a first inning bomb. Pete Alonso hit an opposite field home run for Baltimore and Vinnie crushed one for the Royals. Baltimore’s was worth two though, and so they lead 2-1 […]
There was a lot of discussion around the “final” mock draft I put out earlier today, so I wanted to at least give you the one I had originally planned on publishing as my “final”, until changing my mind and going a different direction last minute. The algorithm here is the same, using the same […]
Matthew Boyd spent about two weeks on the injured list with a biceps issue. The left-hander made one rehab start in which he struck out six and was deemed ready to return. So, the Cubs activated Boyd from the 15-day injured list this afternoon and he will start tonight’s game against the Phillies. To make […]
Houston Astros owner Jim Crane has said time and time again that as long as he’s in charge, the championship window will always be open. It’s a bold statement, and one that carries a lot of weight in a city that has grown accustomed to winning. But what does that actually mean in 2026? Is the window […]
When the idea of the Automated Ball-Strike system was introduced, it was impossible to count the number of baseball fans who thought it would be a good idea. Every baseball fan has had to deal with their team getting robbed in a big moment by a bad call. Whether it was a strike well below […]
