We’re going over again in Oakland!
The Athletics have gone over the run total 63.4% of the time this year (26-15-2), and we are going to bet they will continue that trend Tuesday night when they host the Diamondbacks, who have gone over their run totals 52.5% of the time (21-19-2).
Arizona will send Tommy Henry to the bump. The lefty has an ERA of 4.43 this season, and though he doesn’t strike out many batters, he is good at limiting hard contact.
The A’s will use lefty Kyle Muller to start. Muller has an ERA of 7.34 this season with an xERA of 7.75.

It’s not just the entire basketball world taking notice of Ja Morant’s ridiculous gun-waving antics, gang members in Los Angeles are paying attention too, according to ESPN’s Keyshawn Johnson.
In March, Morant flashed a handgun while on Instagram Live inside a Denver-area strip club and was suspended for eight games. This past weekend, less than three months since his first boneheaded decision, the Memphis Grizzlies superstar was spotted on Instagram Live yet again waving around a handgun.

Let’s rank the four teams left standing in the NBA Playoffs by their championship chances.
The bubble is back.
Well, kind of.
After the NBA suspended play due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the league restarted the season in August in Florida, closing out the regular season before shifting into the playoffs. The final four teams standing in the bubble? The Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Denver Nuggets.

No brainer bet: Bijan Robinson the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year | 10-round fantasy mock draft: A rookie goes in Round 1
The NFL has been awarding the Offensive Rookie of the Year since 1967.
In the ensuing 56 seasons, 35 running backs, 11 receivers and 10 quarterbacks have won the award.
However, since 2004, the dynamics have changed. Over the past 20 years, only six running backs have been named Offensive Rookie of the Year, while nine quarterbacks have earned the accolade.

For 20 years, the AFC East was a certainty. The Patriots would win it, and the other three teams would stink.
In 2023, the AFC East is a certainty once more. The Patriots are ticketed for last place, while the other three will all compete for the division crown.
The Bills, Dolphins and Jets are all legitimate contenders, with Buffalo trying to win its fourth consecutive Eastern title. Of course, the division’s biggest offseason story is the addition on Broadway of Aaron Rodgers, a 39-year-old quarterback with four MVPs and a Lombardi Trophy to his name.

Deion Sanders is going to be rolling in style with his new truck.
The Colorado football coach has been trying to inject the Buffaloes with some life and energy after a pathetic 1-11 2022 season. It appears to be working because more than 8% on BetMGM have been on Sanders to win the national title in year one.
Whether he wins the national title or not, Deion Sanders will definitely be driving around in style. He showed off his new custom Ford F-650, and the truck looks better suited for the battlefield than the roads of Colorado.

Conor McGregor apparently takes his security incredibly seriously.
McGregor will be the focus of Netflix’s upcoming four-part documentary “McGregor Forever,” and the series will take a deep dive into the fighter’s rise to the top of the UFC world.
During an interview with BroBible, director Gotham Chopra revealed the insane security the Irish-born fighter surrounds himself with.
Specifically, McGregor, Chopra and everyone else around himself were rushed to safety during a press conference for his second fight against Dustin Poirier.

Monday night’s battle between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays ended in controversy with serious implications of cheating, involving MLB superstar Aaron Judge.
In the eighth inning, Aaron Judge hit a home run off Blue Jays reliever Jay Jackson on a full count. Moments before going yard to extend the Yanks’ lead, Judge was caught side-eyeing the Blue Jays’ dugout, raising suspicions of cheating.
Before getting to whether or not New York cheated, let’s look at the looming controversy.
Suspicions over Judge’s peeping at-bat started before hitting the home run soared.

Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger was removed from Monday’s road loss to the Astros after suffering a left knee injury following a spectacular late-game defensive play.
With Houston up, 6-4, in the bottom of the seventh inning, All-Star Kyle Tucker looked to boost the lead after blasting the first pitch of his at-bat toward the right-center field wall. Bellinger tracked Tucker’s fly ball and leapt into the air for a sensational catch at the wall to secure the final out of the inning.

The Dallas Stars, two days removed from losing in Game 6 Saturday night, bounced back on Monday night at home, winning Game 7 2-1 to eliminate the Seattle Kraken and set up a Western Conference finals matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights.
