Barring a catastrophic injury, the Oklahoma City Thunder will hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy for a second straight season. The reigning champions have breezed through the first five games of this year’s NBA postseason with victories by 9, 12, 13, 18 and 35 points. And you could make the case they didn’t play well in a couple of those games. Scary, isn’t it? This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: While punches weren't thrown, the benches did indeed clear in Game 2 of a three-game series between the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers. Having already given up eight runs, Tigers' left-hander Framber Valdez gave up back-to-back home r

Things are anything but merry in Mariners-land. As of May 6, Seattle — fresh off a 2025 AL West title, its first since 2001 — sits at 17-20. That's good enough for second in one of the worst divisions in baseball through the first part of the season. The Athletics are atop the AL West, just one game above .500 (18-17), while the Mariners, Rangers, Astros and Angels are all below .500 (Just a note: Each of the five teams in the AL Central — the Tigers, Guardians, White Sox, Royals and Twins — are

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Chris Devenski has been suspended for three games and fined for intentionally throwing at Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. Devenski intentionally threw at Stewart in the top of the seventh inning of Pittsburgh’s 17-7 win at PNC Park on Saturday. He was ejected following the incident. Pirates manager Don Kelly was also suspended for one game and received an undisclosed fine, MLB senior vice president for on-field operations M

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Cincinnati Reds were three outs away from taking Game 1 of a four-game series against the National League Central-rival Chicago Cubs, but the friendly bears of the Midway had other ideas. Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong led off the bo

The Detroit Tigers are battling for the top spot in the AL Central, but they may have to navigate the rest of the season without the game's top pitcher. Ace Tarik Skubal is expected to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed. The procedure typically sidelines players for two to three months, according to ESPN. Skubal, who has won the AL Cy Young in each of the last two seasons, was scratched from his scheduled Monday start against the Boston

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Colorado Rockies put up five runs on Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes in the first inning and led 6-2 entering the eighth inning.

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: After a win on April 7 — the fourth in a row for New York — the Mets were 7-4 and had a +18 run differential. They then lost 12 games in a row. The streak ended on April 22, the day superstar outfielder Juan Soto returned to the lineup from

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: It might be hard to believe, but Blue Jays’ starter Trey Yesavage is still a rookie. He didn’t debut until mid-September of last year, and while he starred in the postseason and World Series for Toronto — he had a 3.58 ERA across six games a

Often, managers become the scapegoats for poorly-constructed teams missing the requisite talent to contend. Occasionally, though, an in-season change can spark a speedy turnaround. In 2022, that’s exactly what happened when Rob Thomson took over for Joe Girardi after Philadelphia’s 22-29 start and went 65-46 the rest of the way, steering the Phillies to their first playoff appearance in 11 years and their first World Series appearance in 13 years. Four years later, though, Thomson now finds hims

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Murakami is MLB’s home run leader Is Munetaka Murakami a good defensive player? The White Sox moved the rookie third baseman and NPB import over to first base already, which is about all the answer you need to that question. Is he going to h

Action has been taken. The Philadelphia Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson in the wake of the team's 9-19 start, the team announced on Tuesday morning. Bench coach Don Mattingly, who was previously the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Miami Marlins, will be Philadelphia's interim manager, while third base coach Dusty Wathan is now the team's bench coach. The Phillies recently lost 10 consecutive games, have lost 10 of their last 12 and their 9-19 mark is tied with the New York Mets fo

Former Red Sox manager Alex Cora didn’t assemble the team that ranks tied for last in home runs, 27th in OPS, 23rd in scoring and 20th in team ERA, but he nonetheless paid the price for the club's early season ineptitude. Clearly, there are a lot of problems right now for a Boston team that expects to contend in 2026. The Red Sox are certainly not alone in that regard (see: Mets, Phillies, Astros, Blue Jays or Royals), but they are the first to make sweeping changes. Less than a month into the s

As the cliché goes: Parlays are a bookmaker’s best friend. And there’s an ocean of losing bets to prove it. For every leg a bettor adds, the chance of winning significantly diminishes. And winning millions? Well, that never happens. Except on the extremely rare occasion when it does, as it did Friday night for a Hard Rock Bet customer who turned 30 bucks into nearly $2 million. More on that monster payday, along with how 10 cents became $3,500 and other notable wagers, as we recap the week that

Less than 24 hours after the Boston Red Sox shockingly fired manager Alex Cora and five members of his coaching staff, infielder Trevor Story said the club’s path forward feels unclear. "I mean obviously, it’s kind of up in the air what the true direction is," the two-time All-Star said on Sunday morning before a series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. "Those are conversations that need to be had. They’ll be had today and onward going forward, too." The Red Sox officially dismissed Cora on

Here are all the best moments from the weekend in Major League Baseball: Braves first to 20 wins The NL East might be a mess in plenty of ways, but not for the Braves.

CITI FIELD (New York) – In a bubbly Mets clubhouse, Luke Weaver finished speaking to the media, passed Clay Holmes at his locker and said, "I warmed it up for you." Holmes chuckled. A beat later in his own scrum, Holmes told reporters: "Winning is fun." Tyrone Taylor, who was walking to the showers, interrupted Holmes’ interview and shouted, "Yeah!" Sitting at their lockers nearby, Craig Kimbrel and Tobias Myers laughed at the exchange. It’s no surprise the Mets were in good spirits after snappi

Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Dodgers lose again, Ohtani’s streak over The Dodgers had a chance to take back sole possession of first place in the NL West on Wednesday, but despite a strong performance on the mound for Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles dropped another game to t

Shohei Ohtani's career-best 53-game on-base streak ended on a night he pitched six scoreless innings. It's something only Ohtani could achieve, but the two-way superstar could be having games like that a little bit less often. "I’m focused, as a leadoff hitter, to get on base. As long as I feel good overall, the result will follow," Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton. "It hasn’t been the case [lately]." Before Wednesday's loss to San Francisco, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts m
