Likewise, the Red Sox's odds to win the American League went from +2500 to +5500 in a two-week stretch, while their odds to lock down the division went from +4000 to +10000.Obviously, this represents another opportunity to buy low on the Red Sox.But given their recent performance, and the performances of the teams in front of them in the standings, placing any futures wager on Boston would require you to swallow hard.

* The Mercury's 2023 May Election Endorsements
Even "small" local elections (like this one) are important!

By Michele Karlsberg-
Michele Karlsberg: June is Rainbow Book Month, a perfect time to check out H.N. Hirsch's Fault Line, a suspenseful murder mystery set in the political world of Southern California.It is a sequel to Shade, Hirsch's first in the series and set in the Ivy League.(The author formerly taught at Harvard and other well-known universities and colleges.)

Imagine this.You walk into Home Depot to buy a rake because you need to do some yard work and then decide to browse the aisles to get ideas for your dream kitchen (that you just started dreaming about and don't have the time or budget for yet).You glance through the pre-built setups to get a sense of your style and learn what options are available.

The UK government is considering whether to approve a giant new oil and gasfield in the North Sea, despite warnings from energy economists and climate scientists that the world cannot afford to develop any new fossil fuel projects.The Rosebank oilfield, which could produce up to 500m barrels of oil over its lifetime, has set ministers on a collision course with climate campaigners.

Opening Day is right around the corner which means it is the perfect time to talk about an overlooked Hall of Fame candidate, right?I know, not many baseball fans are thinking about the Hall of Fame at this point in the calendar year, but the start of the World Baseball Classic - and specifically watching Japan and Korea play in the first round in the Tokyo Dome - made me think about a certain former Atlanta Braves player whose unique baseball career touched both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

By now, most of Braves Country and a lot of the baseball world is at least aware of the lore from last season.After playing a calamitous baseball game on May 31 in order to lose 8-7 in extras to the Diamondbacks, the then-defending World Series Champion Atlanta Braves fell to 23-27 and had finally reached their nadir in the NL East race that year.

Brad Stevens's June 1 press conference was embarrassing for the Boston Celtics as he continued to echo the same themes of the last decade.The overall themes highlight that the Celtics feel they can do no wrong and that they live in their own fairyland.No Boston Celtics fan should listen to that press conference and feel good about the direction of the franchise.

If you happen to be standing on first base against San Juan Capistrano JSerra in the Southern Section Division 1 playoffs, it's the perfect time to ask 6-foot-6 first baseman Dominic Smaldino for a quick history lesson on his family's baseball legacy.Yes, he could talk for 30 minutes about his great-grandfather, Joe Stephenson, a scout for the Boston Red Sox for more than 50 years, or his grandfather, Jerry Stephenson, a scout for the Dodgers for more than 20 years who pitched in the 1967 "Impossible Dream" World Series.

The hardest playoff format in sports to predict is the Stanley Cup Playoffs.The New York Rangers are all too familiar with that.Top teams that dominate the regular season sometimes don't even get out of the first round, while mediocre teams end up catching fire and end up going on deep playoff runs.

Morning Sports Update "It'll be very interesting to see where he goes," McCourty said."Maybe New England with that old guy retiring."The Bruins lost to the Red Wings 5-3 on Sunday.Boston fell into a 4-0 hole before fighting back to make it 4-3 in the third period.The Bruins will face the Blackhawks in Chicago at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The summer transfer window may not be open yet in Europe, but teams are getting ready for it, and there's plenty of gossip swirling around.Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!TOP STORY: Newcastle ready to move on Foxes pair
Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes is keen on a move to Newcastle United if the Magpies push hard to sign him, according to Football Insider.

A row has erupted over Chinese-made wristbands given out at the concert at Windsor Castle celebrating the coronation of King Charles III.The BBC, which organised the event, came under fire for buying the light-emitting wristbands because of China's woeful human rights record and the ongoing Uyghur genocide.

Last weekend, hundreds of people packed into a bar in Lower Manhattan for a very exclusive party.First name must be Ryan, the flier for the event said.No Bryans allowed.To gain entry, each guest had to show an ID to one of two doormen: Ryan Cousins, 32, a copywriter in Bushwick, Brooklyn, or Ryan Le, 24, a software engineer who lives in Hudson Yards in Manhattan.

The Florida Panthers have a chance to go up 3-0 in the ECF against the Carolina Hurricanes.The Panthers have been the story of the playoffs and look to keep their winning streak going.Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk has been on fire, scoring two game winning goals.Does Carolina have a bounce back game in game 3, or does Florida put a stranglehold on the series?

The Ottawa Senators are closer to having a good chance at the Draft Lottery than they are being a playoff team.However, they are certainly not one of the five worst teams in the league but they haven't taken that big step yet either like some thought they might.On Monday night, however, they showed that they can make your life as an opponent very difficult if you don't play them very well.

Jonathan Quick's performance during the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs was nothing short of a goaltending masterclass.Very rarely has a team's championship been on the back of its goalie as much as the Los Angeles Kings ' was on Quick's (honorable mention to Cam Ward and the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes).With today's push towards "just good enough" goaltending for some contending teams, we might be seeing fewer performances like the one that made Quick the greatest goalie in Los Angeles Kings franchise history.

All's fair in love, war ... and campaigning.At least that's what some political candidates think.During her unsuccessful bid for reelection as mayor, Lori Lightfoot's campaign tried to recruit Chicago Public Schools students for political work, dangling extra credit as a carrot.Her team also solicited city workers for campaign help, and as the Tribune reported last week, Lightfoot's camp had been told to stop the electioneering nearly a year before her people reached out to CPS students.

Inter have a two-goal lead to protect when they play host to AC Milan in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at San Siro.Having secured a 2-0 victory in a fascinating first leg, Inter already have one foot in the finale but will be fearful of an almighty response from a scorned Milan side desperate to stop their rivals from reaching the European showpiece.

There's a viral image of Joshua Jackson from 2021 in which he's pushing a stroller down the sidewalk, a hand on his mother-in-law's shoulder.He's wearing loose gray sweats and a smile (these were masked days, but the smile is unmistakable).The actor was not recognizable compared to the man - the boy - so many of us grew up with.

We had seen this script before.On a day where the eyes of New York were firmly focused on two-time NCAA National Champion Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks, the New York Yankees appeared to waste yet another solid start from ace Gerrit Cole, as the Cleveland Guardians jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and the Yankees offense looked helpless.

Baseball season is upon us, and with Opening Day upon us, it is the perfect time to fire off some bold predictions.We'll take a look at one of, if not the strongest division in baseball, and provide a surprising take that is still within the realm of possibility for each AL East team in 2023.Clarke Schmidt will make the All-Star game The Yankees' rotation looked like a world beater when the organization signed Carlos Rodón to a long-term deal, and then life happened.

Title race goes down to the wire (Image: Nathan Rodgers - Unsplash) Before the Premier League season began way back in August, if you'd asked people which of the 2 teams in the league would be in a title race this season then the majority of people would've said Manchester City as one of them.However, what people wouldn't have expected is that the team challenging them is Arsenal.
