Jackson Merrill Over 1.5 Bases (-110 at DraftKings)

It’s hard to ignore the numbers that San Diego Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill has put up against San Francisco Giants hurler Logan Webb.

Merrill has picked up five hits in seven at-bats against Webb, including a pair of doubles. The 2024 All-Star laced two doubles in Sunday’s comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This season, Merrill has posted eight multi-hit games on the road and compiled three games of at least two hits at San Francisco in 2024.

Carli Lloyd’s game-winner, USWNT reunion and a $1 million prize: TST balances fun with fire

The past few days in Cary, North Carolina have felt like a U.S. women’s national team reunion, complete with slide tackles and a $1 million prize on the line. World Cup winners like Heather O’Reilly, Carli Lloyd, Ali Krieger and Hope Solo laced up once again, not just for nostalgia, but to satiate that ever-present hunger for competition and glory.AdvertisementTheir battleground was The Soccer Tournament (TST), a seven-a-side, winner-takes-all competition which is equal parts entertainment and sport. And for the second year in a row, it has become something of a post-retirement playground for the U.S. women’s national team.Starting last week, games were played on a smaller field with a fast-paced format designed for high-stakes and comebacks. The tournament featured rolling substitutions and target score time, meaning a game finishes on a final goal as opposed to when time ends. […]

Parádní finiš! Běžec Dudycha slaví český rekord

Dudychovi je teprve 19 let, ale už dlouho ukazuje svůj potenciál. Svěřenec Lukáše Dejdara z Vysokého Mýta je evropským šampionem v dorostu i juniorech, loni se probojoval na olympijské hry a v Bydhošti po 26 letech vylepšil český rekord Lukáše Vydry.Na mítinku zlaté kategorie v Hengelu v pondělí běžel ještě rychleji. „Druhá osmistovka sezony, nároďák o čtyři setiny, k tomu fakt cenné skalpy, to je super,“ zářil Dudycha, který za sebou nechal třeba olympijského finalistu Stefana Nillessena z Nizozemska.Většinu závodu se držel na chvostu pole, ale parádním finišem se posunul až na čtvrtou pozici. „To je v té konkurenci super výsledek,“ pochvaloval si.„Věděl jsem, že běží silná jména a z první dráhy nemá cenu se cpát nikam dopředu. Začal jsem v klidu zezadu a pacemaker běžel (na čtyřstovce) 49,20, což bylo fakt rychlé, i když jsem běžel předposlední,“ líčil Dudycha, který se v oranžovém dresu v cílové rovince propracovával vpřed.„Je super, že jsem dokázal ještě oběhnout nějaké borce.

Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star out vs. Dream, will miss fifth consecutive game with quad strain

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark still needs more time to recover from a left quad strain that has kept her sidelined for the last four games. She will not play on Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream, Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters after practice on Monday. "We've got to work both [Clark] and Sophie [Cunningham] back into [basketball condition]" White said. "It's one thing to do some shooting drills, it's another thing to get out there on the floor, get back into movement patterns, rhythm, timing. ... Both of them, being out for long periods of time, you've got to work your way back into being game-ready.""I don't know if 'cleared' is the right word," White continued. "We're ready to start ramping back up ... It's completely different when you're just doing one-on-one workouts [then] when you're out there in five-on-five, […]

Cavaliers’ Darius Garland has surgery on big toe, 4-to-5-month rehab expected

Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland underwent surgery Monday to repair the injury to his left big toe that forced him out of four playoff games this spring and could, it seems, cause him to miss more time when the new season comes.The Cavs said Garland’s status would be updated “following a progression of treatment and rehabilitation in approximately four to five months.” The team’s news release also said Garland was expected to “make a full recovery and resume basketball activities by the start of training camp.”AdvertisementThe Cavs, and most other NBA teams, are expected to begin training camp in roughly the last week of September, which is less than four months away. “Basketball activities” can mean running, jumping, dribbling and shooting, but not necessarily practicing. The 2025-26 season, of course, is less than five months away.Garland, 25, averaged 20.6 […]
