Las Vegas - Not quite sure what's happening with the Mets, but BOY, did GM Brodie Van Wagenen make the right decision to stand pat at the trade deadline. On July 25, the New Yorkers started winning, and rolled off five straight Ws leading up to the 31st. Apparently, BVW saw something we didn't, and he decided not to sell any assets. Great move. The Mets have continued scorching, winning 6 of the last 7 since the deadline.

Las Vegas - Looks like the train has left the station, with a bunch of Cubs, and is on the way to the playoffs. Chicago has won four of the last five, climbed into 1st place in the National League East, and has Kyle Hendricks on the mound. What's up with Hendricks? What's up is goose eggs. In his last two starts, he has NOT given up an earned run over 12 innings. Can not do any better than a 0.00 ERA!

Las Vegas - If you're wondering how to handle Christmas, here are the opening lines for the five games that Santa just dropped off.
The battle of L.A. opens with Clippers -1 point over the LAKERS. The RAPTORS are -3 points over the Celtics. The SIXERS are -3 points over the Bucks. The NUGGETS are -9 points over the Pelicans, and the WARRIORS are -1.5 points over the Rockets (home teams are in all caps).
Las Vegas - C'mon with me to Cardiff, Wales for the last game of the International Champions Cup between Manchester United and AC Milan. Totally get that this game does not count, but if there's money to be made, why leave it on the table. The Red Devils have been PERFECT in the preseason, with a gorgeous 5-0 record, and they'll look to close with a big fat W before hosting Chelsea in the Premier League opener at Old Trafford on Sunday, August 11.
Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at Cleveland tonight with Mike Clevinger over the Angels. Looks like Los Angeles will start either Dillon Peters or Felix Pena. Either one is fine with me as long as the Indians send out Clevinger. Cleveland is breathing down Minnesota's collective neck, and should stay hot at home. And we love what Clevinger has been spinning. He has won four in a row and allowed only 6 earned runs over the last 31 innings for a skinny 1.74 ERA.
