Two of the top scoring teams in the league square off Monday night, and you guessed it — we are taking the over.
The Cardinals will visit Arlington, Texas, tonight and I’m expecting offense — and so is SI Sportsbook, with the line set all the way up at 9.5 runs.
For the season, the Cardinals have scored the 10th-most runs per game (4.70) and that number has been even greater over the last month. The Cardinals have scored the fourth-most runs per game in the last 30 days (5.31).
The Rangers lead MLB in runs scored per game this season (6.48) and they have scored 6.
Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat won Game 2 of the NBA Finals, 111-108, in Denver on Sunday night to even the series as it shifts to Miami for the next two games.
Miami jumped out to a big lead early, then fell behind by double digits before rallying back in the second half to hand the Nuggets their first home loss since March 30.
Butler was a key player for the Heat once again, as he finished with 21 points and also played some tough defense on Jamal Murray for most of the night.
More smoke is swirling the Colorado Buffaloes are leaving the PAC-12 for the Big 12, and they might not be alone.
There’s been chatter for a couple months Colorado might ditch the PAC-12 amid nonstop chaos and jump ship to the Big 12. That chatter has only intensified in recent weeks, and a new report claims the decision might already be in and Arizona could be coming with.
Most believe that it is a stone-cold lock Bronny James will not only be an NBA player in the very near future, but an impactful one as well. Given that his father is arguably the greatest basketball player to ever live, expectations for Bronny have been sky-high from the moment he decided to pursue basketball.
The reality is, nobody just walks into the NBA. Two-time NBA champ turned analyst Kenny Smith seems to be the only person out there reminding the world of that as he made it clear Bronny still faces a steep uphill battle to make it to the NBA.
Defining the roles of defensive players who line up primarily near the line of scrimmage can be a bit complicated.
For example, Cowboys star Micah Parsons recently announced he’s moving from linebacker to defensive end, which seems silly because he’s mostly played on the defensive line the past two years. A better term for Parsons would be edge rusher, but he needed to clarify before he’s eligible to negotiate a massive contract extension next offseason (players labeled defensive end tend to make more than linebackers).

Looking back at an unexpected Spanish Grand Prix
The 2023 Spanish Grand Prix is in the books.
After a shocking qualifying session on Saturday, the potential was in the air for a rather mixed up field in the Grand Prix itself.
While the name at the front was not a surprise, the two who joined Max Verstappen on the podium might have been a bit unexpected. That duo tops our list of winners and losers from the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix.
Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days. To get us through the offseason, we’ll be taking a closer look at every team in the league, in order of projected 2023 win totals. Up first: the Cardinals.
The Cardinals have begun the first stages of their latest rebuild project with the arrivals of GM Monti Ossenfort and coach Jonathan Gannon.
Dana White appears to be all-in on Tyson Fury stepping in the octagon against Jon Jones.
Fury made some waves online after he ripped Joe Rogan for suggesting the UFC star would have no problem dismantling the boxer. Fury didn’t like that and unloaded on both men.
However, he eventually walked it back and gave Jon Jones his props as an MMA star, but maintained he’s the baddest person on the planet when it comes to boxing, which is undeniably true.
Dana White, a man who knows how to make money, suggested a UFC bout between the two, and he wasn’t kidding.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s strange, whirlwind visit of Singapore encapsulated everything that is weird about Singapore’s football culture, says Neil Humphreys.
