• Ricky Rothstein

• Last Updated: March 6, 2017

The 2017 World Baseball Classic began Monday with a big upset: Israel, competing in its first-ever WBC and having just a few players with Major League Baseball experience, upset South Korea 2-1 in 10 innings.

Indians vs. Blue Jays: ALCS Game 3 Odds and Prediction

• Ricky Rothstein

• Last Updated: October 17, 2016

Needless to say, it’s rare for a team to rally and win a series after trailing two games to none as the Blue Jays do against the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS. But it happens. In the 1985 ALCS Toronto led Kansas City 2-0 but lost the series in seven. Certainly Monday’s Game 3 is...

Not many national experts predicted that the wild-card Toronto Blue Jays would oust the team with the best record in the American League, the Texas Rangers, in the AL Division Series.
