Editor’s note: The Dodgers will use Corey Knebel, not Julio Urias, as their Game 5 starter. LA called an audible, announcing that Knebel will serve as an opener. They’re daring the Giants to tailor their lineup, or at least the top of it, to face the right-hander. Urias, a left-hander, would then enter the game

After falling at on the road in Game 1, a game pitched brilliantly through five innings by Charlie Morton, the Braves responded with two big wins over Milwaukee. Now, they will have a chance to clinch the series with a victory at home, in yet another game pitched by Morton. With the supreme offense, and the better

After taking it on the chin during Thursday’s Game 1 in Houston, the White Sox will be out for revenge in Game 2 on Friday. To help, they’ll send their ace to the mound in Lucas Giolito, opposing left-hander Framber Valdez.  Both of these pitchers have a great pedigree, and it’ll surely prove to be a popcorn-inspired affair to

The White Sox haven’t played meaningful baseball in quite some time and will be immediately thrust into the fire when they visit Houston to take on the Astros in Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday afternoon. Lance Lynn will take the ball to get things started, opposed by Lance McCullers in a battle of savvy righties. Both

Well, it all comes down to this. The Dodgers won 106 games in the 2021 season, yet they’ll still have their fate decided by a one-game playoff when they take on the St. Louis Cardinals at home. The Cards famously earned themselves this spot by going on a ridiculous 17-game winning streak in September and

The New York Yankees find themselves two games clear of the second wild-card spot with three games to go, all but guaranteeing they will host the AL Wild Card Game on Tuesday. Still, there’s work to do in order to wrap up that spot, and the Yankees will certainly come out here looking for a big

We’re into the final week of the MLB season, and the race for the AL wild card couldn’t be any hotter. After sweeping the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees have jumped into first place, pushing Boston to the brink of elimination from the race in second place. Toronto is hot on Boston’s tail, with these two teams right

Today we will take a trip to the American League wild-card race and preview an AL East showdown between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in Beantown.

There may be no stopping the San Francisco Giants, who have now reeled off 15 wins in their last 19 games. Despite a strong push from the Dodgers, who have gone a resounding 97-55, the Giants are still two games up in the NL West with 10 games remaining.  With their proverbial foot on the gas

Well, the Oakland A’s are in a freefall. While they were able to pull a win out against the White Sox on Wednesday, they’ve still lost four of five and now sit six games out of first place in the AL West, slipping behind the Mariners for third place in the division. The comeback starts now, with a chance

We complete the quarterfinals of the US Open on Wednesday, and near the end of what’s been an exciting and, at times, an unpredictable journey. The final day of the quarters shouldn’t be so unpredictable, with many big favorites taking the court, so what is the best way to bet these matches at the top rated sportsbooks?

With a hot run, the Phillies have pulled to within two games of the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, and enter a series against the Milwaukee Brewers requiring some wins to stay in the race. Let’s check out the MLB odds

The U.S. Open enters the third round on Friday, which means the numbers of matches to pick from is slimming down as the competition heats up. There are two matches on the card for the day which are very close to a pick ‘em, and I think both matches are a bit more lopsided than

The Brewers just keep on rolling, picking up a fourth straight game in San Francisco on Wednesday night, five-two, thanks to a late push from the offense. They’ll now go for a four-game sweep of the Giants when they face Logan Webb and the rest of the Giants crew on Thursday. Despite all the momentum, the Brewers

The Braves are heating back up after jumping the Phillies and Mets in the NL East and just dusted the San Francisco Giants over the weekend, taking two of three off the NL West leaders. Now, their heat will be tested against the defending champions, who continue to gain ground in the division race but have hit

We’ve done it. We’ve made it to the final week of the preseason. This is the third time both the Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans will suit up before the real games start, meaning we’ll get most of the starters out for at least the first half of this one. With that, we should have an easier time handicapping this game and

After one of the wildest games, you’ll ever see in today’s Major League Baseball, the Dodgers and Padres will do it again just 18 hours after the final out was recorded in Wednesday’s game. Max Scherzer and Yu Darvish will meet in what could very easily be another pitcher’s duel at PETCO Park, but as

Irresistible force, meet immovable object. The Yankees, on a nine-game winning streak, will collide with the Braves this week in Atlanta, a team that has also won nine in a row. With mirrored form comes nearly mirrored odds; bookmakers have pegged this one as a game very close to a pick ‘em, with the home Braves getting a little

After a thrilling extra-innings affair on Wednesday, the Brewers and Cardinals — two bitter NL Central rivals — will do it again in the midwest on Thursday. Both teams will come in hungry, entering the series on hot streaks and battling for postseason positioning, and it’s evident based on the way Wednesday went. Down to their final couple
