Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Could Lurk Around at Pocono

The back-to-back weekend races may actually favor Ricky Stenhouse Jr. this weekend. He starts seventh on Saturday behind a strong sixth-place result at Nashville last week. Combine that with a 12th at Charlotte a few weeks back and there is optimism for the JTG-Daugherty Racing driver. Was last week a fluke? Not necessarily. The No. […]

Ross Chastain Finding Right Mix at Right Time for Pocono

Ross Chastain nearly won at Nashville last week as his car was more than good enough to win if not for Kyle Larson's late surge. The previous history is almost irrelevant given Chastain starts sixth on Saturday (22nd or worse previously). For the Chip Ganassi Racing team driver, this comes down to how he handles […]

Kyle Busch Could Challenge for Win at Pocono

Kyle Busch had the car last week at Nashville to challenge Kyle Larson but the younger Busch was the victim of line and groove. He dropped just out of the top ten but expect the Joe Gibbs Racing driver to learn his lesson this week. Busch needs to work with fellow Joe Gibbs drivers a […]

Joey Logano May Be One to Watch at Pocono

Joey Logano dropped off a bit last week at Nashville but was able to save his car enough to still finish tenth. 2020 was a disaster for Logano at Pocono. Car issues kept him from truly contending and he finished off the lead lap in both races there. The Team Penske driver expects a better […]

Kevin Harvick Will Use Saturday Race As Practice for Sunday at Pocono

Kevin Harvick has done this before in these two-race weekend setups. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver nabbed a solid top-five finish at Nashville (started 12th). His car, by the end, looked quite good as it finally was getting the lift needed. Harvick ranks the best since 2018 at Pocono with five top-tens and a win in […]

William Byron Expects Another Top Ten at Pocono

William Byron has been so persistently consistent because he holds track position so well. Last week, Byron did not have the best race car. He started fourth and still managed a third-place result at Nashville. Byron has one of the best pit crews that were able to make a key air adjustment that helped the […]

Kyle Larson Favorite to Continue Dominance at Pocono

Kyle Larson is on one of those runs that would impress Jeff Gordon. He has won four straight races and was second in three before that. Discipline does not matter, package does not matter as the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver just adapts so well. The Saturday race features Larson on the pole which alone should […]

Contreras crushed his 13th home run of the season off of Walker Buehler and it would give the Cubs a 3-0 lead at the time. Contreras continues to be one of the best catchers in […]

San Francisco Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi said Thursday that the team does not have first baseman Brandon Belt's (knee) MRI back yet but that there is a "really good chance" he goes on the injured list, per NBC Sport's Alex Pavlovic. Belt left Wednesday's game in the eighth inning after he was […]

Anthony Santander Goes Hitless Thursday, Slump Continues

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander continued to struggle at the plate in Thursday's 9-0 loss to the Blue Jays, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Dean Kremer Gets Single Out In Thursday Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer had a dreadful start in Thursday's 9-0 loss to the Blue Jays. Kremer started the bottom half of the first by walking the bases loaded, then allowing an RBI single and an RBI groundout. He walked a fourth batter to load the bases again, gave up a grand slam, […]

Alexander Volkov Hoping To Take Advantage Of Main-Event Stage

With well over 30 more professional MMA bouts than his opponent, Alexander Volkov (33-8) will hope all that experience pays off in his main-event battle with France's Ciryl Gane on Saturday. Dangerous in the striking game, 22 of Volkov's 33 career wins have come by way of the knockout. He is also a winner of […]

Ciryl Gane Looking To Continue His March Toward UFC Gold

Though he has yet to hit double-digit fights in his professional career, French powerhouse Ciryl Gane (8-0) has shown he has the ability to become a future UFC heavyweight champion. In Saturday's main event, he will get the chance to take the next step toward that goal as he battles hardened-veteran Alexander Volkov. With six […]

Tanner Boser Takes Co-Main-Event Spot On Late Notice

Not only is Tanner Boser (19-8-1) taking Saturday's co-main-event bout on short notice, he also competed earlier this month and was on the losing end of a split decision. After starting out 3-1 in the UFC, Boser has dropped his last two bouts, both by decision. Many will argue he should have won his last […]

Ovince St. Preux Makes His Return To Heavyweight

Returning to heavyweight after a lengthy light-heavyweight career, Ovince St. Preux (25-15) will enter the Octagon for the second time on Saturday as a heavyweight when he battles Tanner Boser.

Timur Valiev Has A Big Opportunity

It will be a battle of unbeaten UFC bantamweights when Timur Valiev (17-2) returns to the UFC cage for the third time this Saturday. After his debut ended in a no-contest, Valiev returned in February to take a unanimous decision over Martin Day. Valiev typically takes his opponents deep into the bout and outlasts them […]

Raoni Barcelos Looking For Sixth Straight Win

On a quietly hot run in the UFC's bantamweight division, Raoni Barcelos (16-1) will enter UFC Vegas 30 on Saturday looking for his sixth straight victory to remain undefeated in the Octagon. Only tasting defeat once in his career, he has not lost since April of 2014. A typical finisher in his career, 10 of […]

Daniel Pineda Needs A Win To Stay Above .500

Six years passed between Daniel Pineda's (27-14) first and second stints in the UFC, but he looked impressive in his debut in August of last year, earning the TKO win over Herbert Burns.

Sonny Gray Scratched From Rehab Start; Expected To Go On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray (groin) was unable to make his scheduled rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Louisville.

Brad Brach Earns Save On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brad Brach threw a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 5-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Tony Santillan Strikes Out Eight In Win

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tony Santillan turned in an excellent start in a 5-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. Santillan allowed just one run over six innings while striking out eight and walking three. The rookie's only mistake on the evening was a first-inning solo homer off of the bat of Freddie Freeman. He […]
