Not exactly our finest effort with Best Bets last week. But we’re primed to bounce back like a baseball ricocheting off the foul pole for a home run. Why the baseball analogy? The answer can be found in the headline. That’s right, after a flurry of Game 7s in the NBA or NHL over the […]

Is this Giants vs Cardinals series a preview of things to come in October? Both fanbases certainly hope so, and the expansion to a 12-team playoff improves the chances of both teams getting in.

Something’s gotta give Thursday night in Chicago. The White Sox are heating up, and the New York Yankees aren’t cooling down. Both teams were pegged among the top American League contenders in the preseason. While the Yankees have certainly lived up to the billing, the White Sox have been a little slow out of the […]

However bad your week is going, it can’t possibly be worse than what the Tampa Bay Rays are experiencing. After seeing their season-high six-game winning streak end with Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Seattle, the Rays headed to southern California to face the Angels and got boat-raced by a combined score of 23-3 on Monday and […]
