Las Vegas - Bouncing on to the NBA hardwood out West and gonna roll with the Celtics over the Blazers. Like many of the teams, Boston has had to deal with numerous health issues, but it looks like the tide has turned. The Celtics have won and covered five of the last six including a 105-87 blowout on Sunday afternoon against a VERY good Denver team. The Cs had their starting five on the floor for most of the game, and it showed.

Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta looked fabulous the last time out, throwing 5 innings, allowing ZERO earned runs and posting 8 Ks.

A five goal spread in soccer is like a baseball team winning 20-3. Does NOT happen that often.
Read MoreLas Vegas - Very early in the season but we already have a little taste of revenge on the plate in Cleveland. The Indians opened the season at Detroit and lost two of three. The Indians did win the get-away game, 9-3, and should be ready to roll at home. Zach Plesac faced the Tigers in the second game of the series and came up on the short end of a 5-2 score. He wasn't horrible, allowing 2 earned runs over 6 innings, but Julio Teheran was better (1 earned in 5).
