One MLB moneyline, several election bets.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, July 5th
Keep an eye on the Rays.
Off the Lake: The Cubs Need to Sweep the Angels. Here’s the Math.
Anything less than a sweep this weekend and the Cubs’ playoff chances are probably over. Also: Luis Robert Jr.’s gaffe, Angel Reese is an all-star, the Zach LaVine spat, and Cooper Rush as a possible Bear.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, July 4th
The Orioles keep winning.
Joe’s Notes: What the Lakers Are Doing
The Lakers aren’t trying to win right now. They didn’t leave that as a choice.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, July 3rd
All over the American League.
Joe’s Notes: The Splash Brothers Showed How Millennial Athletes Can Thread the Needle
Klay Thompson and Steph Curry managed to be both competitive and cool.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, July 2nd
Five MLB moneylines, plus our last Phillies division futures for a while.
Off the Lake: The Cubs Keep Losing Numbers Games
In catcher’s interference as in life. Also: Zach LaVine is not worth a first-round pick (it’s worse than it sounds).
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, July 1st
Looking to build on a strong end to June.
Joe’s Notes: Five World Series Contenders and the 25 Others, Entering the MLB Second Half

Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, June 29th
Three MLB moneylines plus another round of election futures.
Off the Lake: How Bad Are the Cubs’ Playoff Chances?
They’re bad, but *how* bad? Also: Matas Buzelis, Connor Bedard, a little Sky, and a little Sox.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, June 28th
The Phillies are injured and the Mets are hot.
Joe’s Notes: Who Are Baseball’s Biggest Stars?
Objectifying the subjective, as much as one can. Then: Rich Paul’s Australia threat, the USMNT’s failure, and Purdue Pharma’s House v. NCAA parallel.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, June 27th
Jon Gray’s home run rate and the United States’ presidential election.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, June 26th
