On this second Friday of the MLB regular season, it feels like baseball is truly back. With just over a week’s sample size from teams, the early trends of 2025 are starting to develop, although some of them — like the fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers are really, really good — have been clear […]

It’s been a pretty incredible first week of the MLB season, especially if you’re a Los Angeles Dodgers fan (I am).

For the past six and a half seasons, the matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks was one between Trae Young and Luka Dončić, two All-Star point guards traded for each other on draft night in 2018.

UPDATE: Barnes will play on Thursday. The Toronto Raptors’ 137-118 defeat to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday sealed the Raptors’ fate and confirmed the Eastern Conference postseason picture. Toronto’s elimination means that they, along with the Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, and Washington Wizards, will drop into the lottery. The Bulls will participate in […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ championship defense could not have gotten off to a better start. So far in 2025, Los Angeles is 7-0, tying for the best start in franchise history and the best start by a reigning World Series champion with the 1933 New York Yankees.
