Nearly one-third of the way through the season, the entire American League is deeply mediocre.

For most of Game 1, the Cleveland Cavaliers looked like they were on the verge of stealing home court advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks.

It’s not often that an expansion team immediately comes into a league and finds much success. For instance, the most recent team to join the WNBA prior to last season’s Golden State Valkyries was the Atlanta Dream in 2008, when they went just 4-30. Prior to that, the Chicago Sky went 5-29 in 2006. The […]

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals had been much-anticipated all season, after the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs played out four epic games during the regular season. Somehow, it exceeded expectations, going into double overtime, where the Spurs managed a 122-115 victory behind Victor Wembanyama’s 41-point, 24-rebound masterpiece. Game 2 will […]

Nearly one-third of the MLB regular season has been played, with every team having played between 47 and 50 games of the league’s 162-game schedule. Lots has changed since last season: the Chicago White Sox have a winning record, and the Toronto Blue Jays have a losing one. Still, for the fifth consecutive season, the […]

Last season, the New York Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns era got off to a slightly rocky start. Towns was brilliant in the regular season, finishing on the All-NBA Third Team, and his surface-level stats in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers looked strong. However, his sometimes lackadaisical defense proved to be an issue in […]

In what has been a strange baseball season so far in the American League, at least one thing makes sense: the Los Angeles Angels are below .500. The Angels have the longest postseason drought in baseball, as they haven’t played a playoff game since 2011. That looks highly unlikely to change in 2026, as they’re […]

After a miserable start to the season, the Boston Red Sox might not be all the way back, but the season is long, and especially in the weak American League, an eventual playoff berth is not out of the question. In fact, if the season ended today, the Red Sox would only be two games […]
