This is the Dodgers-Padres series we've been waiting for

Back in March, the Dodgers and Padres kicked off the 2024 Major League season against one another in South Korea, splitting a pair of games. Six months and 310 total games later, they’ll face off for three more in Los Angeles beginning Tuesday (10:10 p.m. ET/7:10 PT on TBS and

How the Tigers got creative to get back in the race

For the last 50 games, the Tigers haven't featured a traditionally functional starting rotation. That's in large part because they’ve barely had a rotation at all. In the span of two weeks in July, Detroit lost starters Kenta Maeda (demoted to the bullpen on July 11), Reese Olson (injured on

Are we witnessing the best non-MVP season ever?

Bobby Witt Jr. is probably not going to win this year's American League MVP Award. Let’s get that out of the way right up front. That’s because no matter how great his season is – and it is great, already the best season in the entire history of the Royals,

In the American League, Aaron Judge is having, by just about any definition that matters, one of the greatest hitting seasons in the history of the sport. His production is so massive that getting to 60 or more home runs is somehow more a bonus than the main story, which

The MVP races may be tighter than you think

With approximately 80% of the 2024 season in the books, we have a pretty good idea of how the major award races are going to shape up. Both Cy Youngs have seemingly clear leaders, with lefties Chris Sale (NL) and Tarik Skubal (AL) the obvious front-runners in each league. Both
