Matchup/League Facts

The San Diego Padres ranks 1st in the league for walks this season (442).

The San Diego Padres ranks 1st in the league for ERA this season (3.70).

The Colorado Rockies ranks 4th in the league for doubles this season (199).

The Colorado Rockies ranks 12th in the league for batting average this season (.254).

Pick

The Padres have to be feeling great after sweeping the Texas Rangers over the weekend and they should have another series win here. San Diego is five games out of a Wild Card berth, so they need to stay hot and rack up wins quickly. The Padres are starting Seth Lugo, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Colorado is starting Austin Gomber, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Gomber has really turned it around in recent starts, but his ERA is still atrocious. I think the Padres are going to continue their momentum in this series and it will start with a big win in Game 1.

Russell Westbrook signs with Clippers: Former MVP lands back in L.A. after Lakers trade, per report

Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he finalizes a buyout with the Utah Jazz, his agent told Adrian Wojnarowski. Westbrook was trade d from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz as part of a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline earlier this month. In 52 games for the Lakers this season, the majority of them off the bench, Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. But while his counting stats were still solid, his defense, inefficient shooting (41.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point land) and poor fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis were once again a problem for the Lakers. There was also the fact that James was publicly lobbying for the team to trade him, which did not help the vibes in the locker room.  But despite some of Westbrook's issues with the Lakers, and his declining play in recent years, the Clipp...

Bruno Fernandes names Portugal teammate he wants Man Utd to sign

Image
Bruno Fernandes has encouraged Manchester United to act on their interest in Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. United have regularly scouted the 19-year-old and were in attendance as he shone in Benfica's recent 2-1 win over Sporting CP, watching the teenager alongside scouts from both Arsenal and Liverpool. Neves' excellent form this season has seen him rewarded with two caps for the Portugal national team. The youngster came off the bench for the final five minutes of October's 5-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina and saw another three minutes against Liechtenstein on Thursday. Asked about United's interest in Neves, Fernandes admitted he'd be keen to see the teenager join him at Old Trafford but only if manager Erik ten Hag sees a future for him. "It has to be the Manchester United coach who says whether he has a place in the team or not," Fernandes told a press conference. "He's a great player, I don't know if he would have a place or not. I...
