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.

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.

He is 6-0 so far at home. He has started 10 games at Dodger Stadium, and his guys have won nine of 10. And his last three starts in L.A. have been basically UNFAIR to the opposition. Why? In 20 innings, Kersh, yea, we're tight so I get to use his nickname, has allowed only 10 hits and one earned run, ONE!
