Nick Martinez vs. Zack Wheeler, and today’s batch of futures.
Stu’s Notes: Is Luka Dončić Soft?
Soft-type vs. Dog-type. Then: What to do about the Jokić brothers, why NIL’s not that relevant with Reggie Bush’s Heisman, and celebrating Nelly Korda.
Joe’s Notes: A Better Idea for a Group of Five Playoff
Why November makes sense for a mid-major FBS championship. Also: Will the Bears stadium get built? Will Pete Crow-Armstrong produce? And that weird IndyCar scandal.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, April 24th
Cold weather in Chicago, and can the Suns and Kings come back?
Stu’s Notes: Three Terrible Ways to Lose
How do you bounce back if you’re the Sixers, Lakers, or Islanders? Also: Caleb Williams and Eli Manning, designated scapegoat Zach Wilson, and April’s place among the sports months.
Joe’s Notes: Replay Review Is About Fairness, Not Perfection
The ending of last night’s Knicks game was imperfect. Was it fair? Also: Mark Stone and LTIR, Kyle Hendricks’s injury, and Tyrese Hunter is transferring to Memphis.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, April 23rd
Three MLB underdogs, plus today’s futures.
Stu’s Notes: At Talladega, Michael Jordan Seemed Happy
Good for him. Also: Grounding the Rockies, the Broncos’ bad look, and Joe Kelly’s bad luck.
Joe’s Notes: One-and-Dones Aren’t Just Freshmen
So far, first-year transfers come with a firm ceiling. Also: Mason Miller and the trade deadline, fuel savings and crash avoidance, and where the Bulls go with LaVine and DeRozan.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, April 22nd
Riding Reid Detmers, continuing to stack futures.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, April 21st
An MLB moneyline, NASCAR at Talladega, and NBA and NHL futures.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, April 20th
Our first NHL future of the playoffs, plus another Western Conference underdog in the NBA and three MLB moneylines.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, April 19th
On both NBA futures and MLB moneylines, we’ve got some momentum.
Stu’s Notes: Which NHL Playoff Teams Are Real?
Six of these teams shouldn’t exist. Also: Who most deserves a Stanley Cup, hoping the Utah hockey trademarks were a prank, and NASCAR goes to Talladega.
Joe’s Notes: FedEx’s Memphis NIL Investment Is a Non-Story
Money is fungible, and $25 million isn’t that much. Also: The size of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Alex Caruso’s status tonight, and updates on Core Score and Gelo.
Stu’s Notes: Coby White Has the Best Smile
The Bulls are still standing. Also: NBA Playoff team likability, Shane Doan’s banner, and Oregon’s ditching the woodsy court.
Joe’s Notes: The WNBA CBA Is Holding Back Caitlin Clark
The league and its union did not account for a generational superstar. Also: What Jimmy Butler’s injury does to the Heat, Reed Sheppard goes pro, and Jameson Taillon prepares for his season debut.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, April 18th
A few MLB moneylines, and more futures.
