Las Vegas - Sandy Alcantara won the Cy Young Award last season, and that was after a kinda rough start, with only two wins in his first seven outings. Then in the middle of May, he turned on the jets, won 12 of 19 and pitched to a GORGEOUS 2.28 ERA. Looked at the calendar and it appears to be the middle of May, which means it's time to win a little candy with SANDY!

Las Vegas - Don't really like the Lakers, but when you're playing with one of the TOP FIVE players in the history of the NBA, it's time to open the wallet. Talking about LeBron, not Steph Curry. My top five list, in order, would be Kareem at the top of the pyramid, Michael Jordan next, LeBron 3rd, Bill Russell 4th and Tim Duncan 5th. Would put Kobe and Steph next in a tie for 6th. Back to business.

Las Vegas - Hate to keep picking on the A's, but gotta throw my bundle of chips in the opposite direction. The Rangers send Nathan Eovaldi to the bump and when he is right, he is basically impossible to hit. Just ask the Yankees and Angels, his last two opponents. Eovaldi tossed a nine inning shutout at New York and fed the Angels eight innings worth of bagels. That's 17 innings of nothing but ZEROES and that's worth a Texas tumble.

Las Vegas - Not thrilled with the Cubs early 17-18 record (not including last night), but they do have an early Cy Young candidate by the name of Justin Steele. With a 5-0 record and a 1.45 ERA, Steele is certainly a name to keep in your back pocket. His overall numbers are very sweet, but his work at Wrigley Field borders on STUPID! He has started four games at the Friendly Confines and has allowed only 2 earned runs over 24 innings which works out to an INVISIBLE 0.75 ERA.
