The AL East is the most competitive division in baseball, and we’re betting the bats will be out tonight in the Bronx for a high-scoring affair.
This is the third game of a three-game series between the Orioles and the Yankees, and so far the series is split 1-1. Both games this week have gone over the projected run total, and I expect more of the same tonight.
Clarke Schmidt gets the start for the Yankees at home. Schmidt has been hit hard this season and has an ERA of 6.00 with an xERA of 4.99.

Ohhh!
New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is off to a shaky start in New Jersey after admitting to not liking “The Sopranos.”
Now he’s ticking off “The Sopranos” fandom, a wide and outspoken group, for admitting that he never got into the James Gandolfini-led HBO classic.
You’d imagine that a QB with the chill of Aaron Rodgers assumedly would like “The Sopranos” but the 38-year-old was pretty indifferent about the series.

Zach Wilson’s brother Isaac will play his college ball in Salt Lake City for the University of Utah.
Isaac, a four-star QB prospect from Corner Canyon in Draper, Utah, announced Wednesday night that he was committing to play for the Utes and head coach Kyle Whittingham.
Zach Wilson was a dominant player at BYU and his younger brother will now play his college football for the other half of the Holy War rivalry.
That should certainly create some interesting Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner topics.

Pressure started mounting for George Washington University to officially get rid of its Colonials nickname in 2018, and after a half-decade of holding on, the school officially announced its new moniker earlier this week.
George Washington will now go by the name of Revolutionaries, which the woke crowd who forced the name-change in the first place certainly won’t find anything wrong with. GW tabbed NBC anchor Chuck Todd to help reveal the university’s new nickname, which is incredibly on-brand.
The George Washington student body voted out the Colonials nickname in 2019.

Former Chicago Cubs prospect Josefrailin Alcantara is wanted by police in the Dominican Republic after allegedly shooting and killing a man.

His cousin Diego Anibal Rodriguez Martinez, who was allegedly in the vehicle during the shooting, was arrested Wednesday by police in the Dominican Republic.

There reportedly are some serious issues behind closed doors at ESPN after a deal was inked to bring in Pat McAfee.
ESPN has thrown a hail Mary pass to try to save the network, and threw the kitchen sink at McAfee to bring his show to the network. It will now air across ESPN platforms and also remain on YouTube for viewers.
It’s a very bold move, and it’s a sign ESPN understands something major has to happen to save the network. However, McAfee’s deal, which is said to pay him alone roughly $10 million annually, has upset some employees at the network amid financial issues and layoffs.

It looks like the Detroit Lions and Calvin Johnson are finally ready to bury the hatchet and move forward.
Johnson and the Lions have been on notoriously bad terms ever since the team made him repay more than $1 million in signing bonus after he retired following the 2015 season.
Generally speaking, teams don’t go after a star player’s bonus money if he decides to hang up his cleats, especially if he’s physically banged up like Johnson was.
The Lions made him repay the money, and things have been sour ever since.

Paul Finebaum doesn’t think Florida State has much to offer the SEC when it comes to expansion and realignment.
Conference realignment is a major topic in college sports right now, and all eyes are whether or not the PAC-12 will be able to survive. However, there’s also been chatter for the better part of a year about what happens if the B1G or the SEC try to poach some of the better programs in the SEC.

Deion Sanders continues to share wisdom that’s worth your attention.
Sanders has been cranking out content ever since taking over as the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, and that includes plenty of life advice for people involved with the program.
He’s never been afraid to make his standards and expectations crystal clear. Whether it’s teaching players how to respect women or letting it be known you can’t ask to be paid like a pro while behaving like a kid, Deion always keeps it real.
Now, he’s made it clear weak parenting leads to weak children.

The younger brother of Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has announced his college commitment. 
Isaac Wilson, a four-star quarterback prospect in the class of 2024, has reportedly declared he’ll start his college football career at the University of Utah. 
The Corner Canyon HS product made his commitment on Wednesday night, opting to join the Utes over the likes of Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA, Oklahoma State, and BYU. 
Isaac chose not to follow in the footsteps of his three older brothers, all of whom played football at BYU.
