Or college or pro hoops. Rather, the consensus choice probably would be baseball. The reason? Sheer volume. With 30 teams playing 162 […]
The Seattle Mariners have won seven of their last eight games, scoring 53 runs in the process. They’re 11-6 on the season and 22-9 dating back to mid-September. And they have completely owned the Tampa Bay Rays in recent years, winning 21 of the last 28 meetings (including seven of the last eight). So of […]

It’s true: The Under has cashed in seven of the last 10 meetings between these […]
In the Sunday Night Baseball feature, the Phillies take on the Brewers at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park. Focus on those last four words, because history suggests they’re very important.

It wouldn’t be at all surprising if, six months from now, the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros were squaring off with a World Series berth on the line. For now, though, we’ll have to settle for a garden-variety mid-April clash — one in which a future Hall of Famer will be pitching to the […]
