2025 World Series — Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Toronto Blue Jays for Game Three of the World Series, with the teams having split the first two games in Toronto.
You can do this dance with pretty much every game early in a seven-game series, but, yes, Game Three is often a swing game. From Sarah Langs :
“In the history of best-of-seven postseason series with the current 2-3-2 format, teams that have split the first two games at home still have gone on to win the ...
The Los Angeles Rams added reinforcements to the cornerback room one week ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline. They acquired CB Roger McCreary from the Tennessee Titans in a late-round pick swap. This was a low risk acquisition from LA’s perspective. If McCreary can play above the relatively low expectations set for Cobie Durant, Darious […]

The Lakers may need 60 points from Austin Reaves on Monday to earn back-to-back wins. After heading into Sunday’s game shorthanded with injuries piling up, the Lakers saw Gabe Vincent exit with a sprained ankle during the second half. On Monday afternoon, they released their injury report for their game against the Blazers and not […]
LOS ANGELES — The World Series is now at Dodger Stadium for three games in a row, and for the first of them on Monday night the Dodgers are using the same starting nine players as they used in each of their last seven games. There’s a slightly different batting order in Game 3 than […]
The Tennessee Titans traded slot cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams earlier today, which left Tennessee with a void at the position on its 53-man roster. To make up for the cornerback out, the Titans plucked rookie seventh-round pick Micah Robinson off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. This is the second time […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have assigned center Robert Williams III to the Rip City Remix for return-to-court conditioning, the organization announced today. This doesn’t mean Williams will be suiting up in games for the Blazers’ G League affiliate. Instead, he’ll be using the assignment to get extra practice time. The Remix start training camp today, […]
The AFC West is littered with teams above .500. All except for one. The galloping Denver Broncos are atop the division with a 6-2 overall record (0-1 in the AFC West) after an impressive beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The energized Los Angeles Chargers are in second at 5-3 overall (3-0 in division […]
Welcome to Week 2 of NBA play. Lots of things are going on around the NBA, with gambling being a major issue. The Lakers are 2-1 after the first week and the No. 4 seed. The Lakers are still without LeBron James and Luka Dončić, as well as Adou Thero, Jaxson Hayes, Maxi Kleber, and […]
Even as the biggest news of late in the sports world is the gambling/rigging/literally-the-mafia-connected NBA scandal , it’s not as if the other major professional sports leagues have been untouched by sports betting-related concerns in recent years.
In Major League Baseball, for example, you had the friend and interpreter for the sport’s biggest star going to prison for crimes related to a sports betting operation, funded primarily by stealing from Shohei Ohtani. More recently, Guardian...
The last time the San Francisco 49ers faced the Los Angeles Rams, Mac Jones threw for 342 yards, and Kendrick Bourne had a field day. Jones completed 75 percent of his passes against a leaky Rams secondary that provided little resistance. Los Angeles had a bye week in Week 8, the week allowing the second-most […]
Sean McVay told the Rams media on Monday that star wide receiver Puka Nacua is going to practice on Wednesday and be “ready to go” to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. That would mean that Nacua only missed one start, a 35-7 win over the Jaguars, and that L.A. has survived his […]
And so now, the World Series moves back to the US, back to the West Coast, back to Los Angeles, for a pivotal Game 3. After an abysmal Game 1, where the offense couldn’t get going, and the bullpen couldn’t get out of its own way, the Dodgers did much better in both respects in […]
The Tennessee Titans are trading Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams, according to Adam Schefter: I need someone to make the value they got back here make sense. This is the second trade they have made where they ended up swapping picks (Jarvis Brownlee was the first). They are giving up assets without actually […]
Off to a 1-2 start to the 2025-26 NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers might not exactly be appointment TV for basketball viewers. Despite the record, though, Portland has played a fast, tough style, both uniting and delighting Blazers fans. All of that is likely to come to an early-season head tonight as Portland faces […]
In case it wasn’t already obvious, it’s now clear why Austin Reaves turned down the Lakers’ four-year, $89.2 million extension this past offseason. Reaves was already off to a phenomenal start this season with 50 points, 20 assists, 12 rebounds and a trio of three-pointers across his first two games. But with both Luka Dončić […]
The Los Angeles Rams have finally addressed their need at cornerback, trading with the Tennessee Titans for Roger McCreary. The Rams and Titans agreed to a pick swap of day three choices, essentially meaning that this trade boils down to Tennessee wanting to get rid of a player who L.A. feels could help them over […]
Beleaguered Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups has barely been seen in public since he was arrested and arraigned last Thursday. Long-time friend and former boss Tyronn Lue told media, before the Blazers took on the Los Angeles Clippers, that Billups was alright, considering the circumstances. When you’ve known somebody so long, you can just […]
When it comes to the NFL Draft discussion, players in the FBS have dominated the conversation. However, there is another brand of Division I college football also taking place and being done at a high level. Over the past decade, North Dakota State has dominated the FCS football landscape and they look to be favorites […]
The Dodgers and Blue Jays are currently squaring off in the Fall Classic, each in the top five in MLB in payroll spending. The fiscal advantage enjoyed by certain clubs, particularly the Dodgers, is once again prominent. On the other hand, this postseason saw the Brewers – who play in a market smaller than Kansas […]
Each week, we look at the opening odds for the Tennessee Titans. Each week, they are a double-digit underdog. This week, they are a 10.5-point underdog at home against the Los Angeles Chargers over at FanDuel Sportsbook. That number isn’t big enough. I wouldn’t bet the Titans at anything less than +21.5. The Chargers come […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
The NBA isn’t truly back until a Lakers opponent crashes out over free throws and, boy, are we so back. On Sunday, Austin Reaves poured in a career-high 51 points to lead the shorthanded Lakers past the Kings in Sacramento. It was a remarkable performance from Reaves, who only continues to improve every year in […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are eyeing another win as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. The Titans are projected to be one of the worst teams in the league at the end of the season after starting the year 1-7. Their only win came in Week 5 against […]
The Dodgers have returned home for the final three games to be played at Dodger Stadium during the 2025 season.
