Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid squeezed past EPL opposition in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, setting up a blockbuster semifinal with the first leg taking place at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday. A Joshua Kimmich header handed Bayern Munich a 1-0 win over Arsenal in the second leg in Bavaria after the first leg in north London finished 2-2, while Real Madrid dumped holders Manchester City out on penalties after a 4-4 aggregate scoreline. Of the two, though, Real Madrid were arguably the more impressive, having carved out victory in the tie thanks to robust defending and fine...…Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid squeezed past EPL opposition in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, setting up a blockbuster semifinal with the first leg taking place at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday.

A series between the Yankees and Orioles is something that has my attention, as both of these teams are both of high quality and also fun to watch. These AL East giants will look to get an early start towards a division crown, but these squads are likely to be competing for most of the season. Baltimore is 18-10 after last night’s win in a pitching duel between Grayson Rodriguez and Clarke Schmidt. The Yankees are 19-11 after the loss but are still playing very good ball to begin the season. I find it noteworthy that today’s total sits at 9.5 despite how Game 1 played out, and the market is...…A series between the Yankees and Orioles is something that has my attention, as both of these teams are both of high quality and also fun to watch.

The Colorado Rockies arrive from Mexico City, where they were swept in a two-game set at altitude against the Houston Astros. The Rockies cashed low in each of those games, and the Under has a slight 4-2 edge in the past six games. The Rockies pitching staff has allowed 29 runs in the past three games, with two games played over 7,000 in elevation in Mexico, and the game on Thursday played at home against the San Diego Padres, a 10-9 win. They turn to RHP Ryan Feltner to start at sea level in Miami. The Over has cashed in each of Feltner’s past four starts, with the offense providing 31...…The Colorado Rockies arrive from Mexico City, where they were swept in a two-game set at altitude against the Houston Astros.

The New York Knicks will return home Tuesday night for Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers. New York won Game 5 by a score of 97-92 on the road in Philadelphia in front of a crowd that had a plethora of Knicks fans. The crowd was so loud for New York that Joel Embiid called out the crowd in his postgame interview hoping for a change. The drama-lover within me would love to see this game go back to Philadelphia for a Game 6 just to see what the crowd situation looks like, but this may be the end of the line for the 76ers in a win or go home game. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored 50...…The New York Knicks will return home Tuesday night for Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had plenty of amazing regular-season performances, ending up high in the standings. The Leafs have a great top-six forward group, and they’ve generally been quite deep offensively in recent seasons. But this team is just not built for the playoffs, whether it is the departed GM Kyle Dubas running things, or current GM Brad Treliving. The Leafs spend most of their cash on the forwards, while skimping on defensemen and goaltending. It is masked during the season, but the problem rears its ugly head in the postseason, especially against teams with a roster better...…The Toronto Maple Leafs have had plenty of amazing regular-season performances, ending up high in the standings.
