Using fair odds, value thresholds and exotic-wager construction, here's how I plan to attack one of the most competitive Belmont Stakes fields in recent memory. https://t.co/xpN7Bjf5P2
A lot of rankings, mine included, have Commanders in the bottom third. I do think they have the most upside. A lot of it is based on last year's lost season. Hard to model that IMO.
ESPN's Football Power Index is out!
The Rams are No. 1, the Seahawks are No. 4 and the Patriots are...No. 14!

One of the wildest stats in sports:
This is the 46TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON in which a former teammate of Jaromir Jagr has appeared in the Stanley Cup Final.
This year, it's Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson, who played with Jágr in Calgary in 2017-18.
Young had the bat speed to hit HR. In 2026 he's finally putting enough balls in the air to access that power. The underlying data says that change is mostly real. The only thing likely to regress is the pace, not the improvement itself.
Nats Jacob Young is hitting the ball better this season. Launch angle sweet spot percentage measures how often a batter hits a batted ball at an ideal trajectory. Amazing what happens when a team spends some money to join the 21st Century.

Hurricanes are up to -155 on the moneyline in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final tonight vs. Golden Knights...
Since NHL lockout in '05, here are the biggest SC favs in G1 -- 8-0 on moneyline ⤵️
Last fav of this size to lose G1 of SC? Lightning back in 2004.
@moneymetalcakes it measures how much better at run production you are after taking into account league and park effects. 124 wRC+ is 24% better, 80 is 20% worse
most valuable NFL positions are commonly understood to be QB, WR, EDGE, OT, and CB
The Rams now have a Top-5 QB, a Top-5 WR, a Top-1 EDGE, and a Top-10 CB
It's rare to have the favorite 2x the odds of the second-best team, isn't it? And take out Patriots (and maybe 49ers) it's probably just a handful of teams over the past 40 years? My guess? Fade Rams in this market.

Prediction market turned pessimistic overnight on Dan Quinn remaining Commanders head coach past September 1, 2026. Total volume on all coaches about $1 million.
Carolina did something historic and absolutely dismantled Montreal completing one of the most analytically lopsided series we’ve ever seen
This has more to do with Hurricanes dominance running roughshod than the east just being “weak.”
Spoiler the Sens were damn good too
Cy Young contenders typically have a seasonal average Game Score of ~60-64 (league average is 50)
Ohtani's WORST START is a 62
Even if you cherry pick the 9 best starts from Sanchez, Skenes, Schlittler, they couldnt make that claim
