The National League Wild Card race promises to be a four-for-three battle to the finish, one of the most compelling storylines down the finishing stretch of the MLB season. Right now, it’s the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and New York Mets who hold those spots, but the Mets are floundering and the Cincinnati Reds […]

In what has been a roller coaster season for the New York Yankees, a recent hot stretch has kept the AL East title somewhat alive. The Toronto Blue Jays, up five games with 35 left in the season, have the upper hand, but New York has won each of its last four games to stay […]

It’s not every day that a league leader in a major statistical category takes the mound, and it’s also not every day that a former Cy Young Award winner pitches. Today’s slate has both of those. Unfortunately, it’s not a positive category: the Miami Marlins’ Sandy Alcantara has conceded 89 earned runs this season, one […]

However, neither the San Diego Padres nor San Francisco Giants have been able to take advantage; […]

A few weeks ago, the Minnesota Twins and Athletics both had trade deadlines defined not by who was traded away but who wasn’t — with both teams out of playoff contention, both teams unloaded several of their best players onto contenders.

AL East superiority might well be back: three of the division’s five teams look likely to make the playoffs, with the Boston Red Sox holding a three-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians for the final AL Wild Card spot, and even the Baltimore Orioles are better than any other last-place side in baseball. Tonight, the […]

Tonight, the Milwaukee Brewers could become the first team to reach 80 wins, as they sit at 79-45 headed into the first game of tonight’s double-header with the Chicago Cubs. Only one other division leader is part of tonight’s 10-game featured DFS slate: the Los Angeles Dodgers, who will hope to bounce back after losing […]

When the Atlanta Dream joined the WNBA in 2008, they finished just 4-30 in their inaugural season, needing 18 games and nearly two months to pick up their first win in franchise history. The talent pool has gotten deeper since then, but to say anyone expected the Golden State Valkyries to be 18-16 and almost […]
