The Yankees will have to wait another day to snap out of their divisional funk. They dropped back-to-back contests against the Blue Jays earlier this week to end the four-game set at Yankee Stadium in disappointing fashion, and a slim 1-0 lead against the first-place Rays in Gerrit Cole’s long-awaited comeback from Tommy John surgery last night went up in smoke thanks to shoddy defense and relief. The previously potent New York offense has scored 3 runs in their last 30 innings of play. Inspiring!
The second game of the Yankees/Rays series was supposed to be this afternoon at 1:35pm ET, but the weather for Memorial Day weekend is awful this year. With a dismal forecast for the entire day, the Yankees and Major League Baseball have already announced that the matinee is postponed. Since the Yankees and Rays will be lucky to get in the other planned game on Sunday, the announced twin bill will not be tomorrow but rather when the Rays are in town near the end of the season, September 22nd. The split doubleheader will feature the makeup game at 1:05pm ET and the already-scheduled nightcap at 7:05pm ET.
Today's game has been rescheduled due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather and will be made up as the first game of a split-admission doubleheader on Tuesday, September 22 at 1:05 PM.
Hopefully none of you who were already planning on attending this afternoon actually made it out the door! That’s the advantage of the early postponement call for the general public.
Fingers crossed that they can get in the series finale tomorrow rather than have to schedule another doubleheader. Will Warren was expected to get the ball tomorrow at 1:35pm ET against Shane McClanahan; we’ll see if the Yankees stick to that plan or go with Ryan Weathers, who would also be on normal rest.
The star right-hander allowed two hits over six scoreless innings in his first start in 569 days after undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing the entire 2025 season.
Sunday's game is still scheduled for 1:35 p.m., but rain throughout the area could ruin fans' Memorial Day Weekend plans.
Today's game has been rescheduled due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather and will be made up as the first game of a split-admission doubleheader on Tuesday, September 22 at 1:05 PM.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 19: Donovan Mitchell #45 of the Cleveland Cavaliers drives around Josh Hart #3 of the New York Knicks during the third quarter in Game One of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 2026 in New York City.

The first two games of the series have had a little bit of everything so far for the Knicks. The Cavaliers jumped out to a 22-point lead in Game 1 thanks to a strong game from Donovan Mitchell, only for the Knicks to mount a historic comeback where Jalen Brunson put on a shot-making clinic.
Game 2 was far less dramatic, but it was still an incredibly encouraging one. Brunson, instead of his usual barrage of baskets, helped defeat the Cavaliers with his patience, decision-making, and precision passing as he picked apart Cleveland’s multiple looks. Josh Hart made the Cavaliers pay for their ghost coverage with five threes, which probably felt more like 10 threes to the Cavaliers and their fans. Karl-Anthony Towns, despite going up against some physical coverage, poured in 18 efficient points. OG Anunoby, who was able to play fewer minutes than usual, still ended the game with the highest plus-minus despite scoring a quiet 14 points. And we cannot talk about this series, and really, any playoff game since game six of the Hawks series, without mentioning Mikal Bridges. The much-maligned wing has turned in an impressive postseason for the second straight year, and he’s now looked like the prime version of Bridges that the Knicks had hoped to see when they traded for him two summers ago. He’s defending at an elite level, playing with more physicality on both ends, and is playing not only with an absurd level of efficiency, but a level of confidence and aggressiveness we’ve seldom seen during his Knicks tenure.
While momentum is real and can carry over from game to game, in the playoffs, games can often be treated as a self-contained event. It doesn’t mean that the Knicks can’t, or won’t, transfer their wave of momentum, confidence, and focus onto game three. Or that the Cavaliers, who, regardless of what they tell you, have to feel at least some dejection after losing Game 1 the way they did, and then losing Game 2 to a barrage of Hart threes. But the Cavaliers will also be returning home for the first time since game six of the second round, which took place eight days ago. They may be fatigued after playing back-to-back seven-game series, but they, and their crowd, should have some added juice heading into what for them will be a must-win game.
Is it a must-win game for the Knicks? No. But, during this time of year, one game, scratch that, one play can change everything. Having dealt with injuries and heartbreak over their last few playoff runs, they know that more than anybody. And since their game three loss to the Hawks, they’ve looked like they know it, too. Game after game, practice after practice, despite setting records this league has never seen, the players and coaches have looked and sounded happy, and at times even displeased. They’ve known that defeating the Hawks was expected. They’ve known that dominating the 76ers was just a stepping stone. And they seem to know that advancing to the finals is also not their ultimate goal.
The Knicks enter tonight up 2-0, but they’ll likely continue approaching each game with the required focus and energy as if the series were 0-0, and that should make for another close game between two teams fighting for two different things. One team is looking to crawl their way back into the series and find some life, while the other is looking to come within one game of delivering the final blows and reach the finals for the first time in over two decades.
Prediction
The big man duo of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen should play better. As should role players Dean Wade, Sam Merrill, Max Strus, and Dennis Schroder. They’ll likely also bank on Hart not making five more threes or Brunson scoring 38 points. And they may be right. But then again, they may not be. That’s the beauty of sports-we never really know until they roll the ball out and play.
What we do know, though, is that despite all the shot-quality data and the “what if” narratives Cavaliers fans have thrown around, the Knicks have straight up been the better team so far. Yes, the Cavaliers had a large lead in Game 1, and were eight minutes of even decent basketball away from winning that game. But it’s not like they were dominating the other quarters. The Knicks have won six of the nine periods (overtime of Game 1 included) in the series, and are a +27 in the series now.
And the Knicks have done that despite shooting poorly from three for the first three quarters of Game 1, Hart being an unwilling shooter before Game 2, the Cavaliers dominating the Knicks on the offensive glass 13-5 in Game 2, and the Cavaliers outshooting the Knicks 32-14 from the free-throw line in that game. The Cavaliers have done some nice things, and some of the Knicks’ flaws and shortcomings this series have been a product of what Cleveland has done. But the same can be said for why the Cavaliers have played the way they have.
I expect a stronger overall effort from the Cavaliers and a better shooting game from their role players. But Brunson is still the best player in the series, Hart knows what he needs to do, Landy Shamet is there if Hart struggles, Bridges, and Anunoby remain elite two-way players who are defending at a high level, and scoring efficiently, Towns realized that he still cannot be guarded if he plays smartly, and patiently, even when he is out there in suboptimal lineups, and maybe most importantly, these Knicks are arguably better on the road than they are at home. Cleveland will be up for portions of the game, but the Knicks, with their hunger higher than ever, keep marching. Knicks win 105-100 to take a 3-0 lead and make it 10 playoff wins in a row.

Top 100 NHL Players: 8-12 - Apr. 17 2026 - Vol. 79 Issue 10
8 QUINN HUGHES
POS: D | AGE: 26 | LY: 6
> Hughes’ most celebrated attribute is his playmaking ability. But he’s also one of the NHL’s foremost workhorses. He was averaging the 10th-highest ice time in the entire post-lockout era this season, and his workload, which actually increased following his move to Minnesota, was heavier than any other ‘D’ in the past decade.
9 KIRILL KAPRIZOV
POS: LW | AGE: 29 | LY: 10
> It took Kaprizov six seasons and 381 games to rewrite the Wild’s history books. He’s already the franchise’s all-time leading goal-scorer, and he’s steadily chipping away at Mikko Koivu’s franchise-leading point total. Only five NHL players have scored at a greater per-game rate than Kaprizov over the past three seasons.
10 ZACH WERENSKI
POS: D | AGE: 28 | LY: 14
> Name a category in Columbus, and Werenski is probably at or near the top of it. It’s not easy for a defenseman to lead a playoff-contending team in scoring, but that’s the impact the 10th-year NHLer made this season. Werenski also played more than 26 minutes a night – second in the league to Quinn Hughes.
11 CONNOR HELLEBUYCK
POS: G | AGE: 32 | LY: 5
> Never let it be said again that Hellebuyck can’t win the big one. He was heralded as the hero for Team USA at the Olympics. Back in Winnipeg, it was a down year (how could it not be after last year’s heroics?), but his .956 SP in Milan was the third-best ever in an Olympic tournament featuring NHL talent (minimum five games).
12 SIDNEY CROSBY
POS: C | AGE: 38 | LY: 12
> Crosby notched his 21st point-per-game season in a row this year – extending his own all-time NHL record. Even at 38, ‘Sid The Kid’ continues to be an ace two-way player. His early-season heroics helped put the surprising Penguins in the playoff race, and his boffo play after returning from the Olympic injury kept them there.

NORTH PORT, FL - MARCH 14: James Karinchak #00 of the Atlanta Braves delivers a pitch during the spring training game between the Boston Red Sox and the Atlanta Braves on March 14, 2026 at CoolToday Park in North Port, FL.

The Braves have released 11.5 million dollars of bullpen funds that were committed to Aaron Bummer and Joel Payamps. A few relievers, like Carlos Carrasco, Ian Hamilton, and Osvaldo Bido, have come and gone (and/or come and gone in a circular pattern). Meanwhile, James Karinchak has been silencing Triple-A batters in obscurity. I know he might have some questions around him, but he has a 2.84/3.14/3.24 line and a 36.0% strikeout rate in Gwinnett and the Braves won’t leave the country anyway. Does his absence have anything to do with his velocity dropping from 94.8 to 93.0 MPH? Probably, but also who cares? If he grabbed an inning or two here and there, it may help out the Braves. He could join the Cookie Carrasco Caravan, which I imagine consists of a rented Escalade that Carrasco drives to the next city after he gets designated for assignment.
Rowdy Tellez was a signing late in March. Tellez did not complete Spring Training but did play in the World Baseball Classic. The first few weeks looked very much like a Spring for Rowdy, but even with that slow start he has an .876 OPS and a 124 wRC+ in Triple-A overall. I imagine the issue here is that Matt Olson mans his primary position. Ronald Acuña Jr, the thermonuclear Dominic Smith, and when available Drake Baldwin hold down the designated hitter spot. So I think he’s currently depth for Olson, and may be third on the depth chart because Smith may be ahead of him. He would definitely be a great option in that 28th man roster spot in September and pinch hitting option in October, should the Braves somehow manage to get there.

This was a well-played game all around for the Tides, starting with a quality start by Nestor German, who worked six innings and gave up three runs. He struck out five and walked one. It was German’s longest outing of the year. Nick Raquet, Cameron Foster, and Andrew Magno each worked a scoreless inning of relief. Magno’s outing lowered his season ERA to 0.92.
The Tides also brought their bats to Jacksonville, starting with 5’5” shortstop Payton Eeles, who crushed an opposite-field grand slam in the top of the third. It was part of a three-hit day for Eeles, who’s batting .364 with a .933 OPS. He stole a base, too. Heston Kjerstad broke out of an 0-for-7 drought by going 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBIs, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand contributed two hits as well. The Tides had 16 baserunners and went 4-for-10 with RISP.
Outfielder Michael Siani, claimed on waivers from the Dodgers on Monday, made his organizational debut and went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts.
All eyes were on Joseph Dzierwa’s Double-A debut, and it started out about as brilliantly as possible. Dzierwa mowed through five scoreless innings, only giving up his first hit with two outs in the fifth. He struck out the side in the second inning. He was fantastic…until the top of the sixth, when he hit the wall in a big way. A leadoff error opened the floodgates for the Patriots, who followed with an RBI double, then three consecutive singles that chased Dzierwa from the game. The bullpen allowed one of his inherited runners to score.
Dzierwa’s final line was 5.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R (3 ER), and — most impressively — 10 strikeouts and no walks. Had he left the game after the fifth, we’d be raving about his performance. Even with his rough sixth, it was a strong Double-A debut for the guy who’s emerging as the Orioles’ top pitching prospect.
There wasn’t much offense to speak of for the Baysox. They managed only four hits, which included an Aron Estrada homer. They also went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Ethan Anderson reached base thrice on a single and two walks.
High-A: Frederick Keys vs. Greenville Drive (Red Sox) — POSTPONED
The Keys were supposed to play a doubleheader to make up Thursday’s rainout, but instead they played none as both games got washed out. One game was rescheduled for tomorrow while the other was canceled outright.
Low-A: Wilson Warbirds (Brewers) 7, Delmarva Shorebirds 2
This was a 2-2 game until the bottom of the eighth, when the Warbirds erupted for five runs to take a commanding lead. Reliever Luis Beltrán was tagged for all five runs, though only three were earned. First baseman Juan Perez and right fielder Junior Aybar made errors on back-to-back plays with two outs, each scoring a run. Beltrán also walked in a run. It was that kind of game. Starter Brayan Orrantia lasted four innings, giving up two runs and five walks.
It was a rough night offensively for the Shorebirds, who struck out 11 times and walked just once. They had six hits, all singles. Nobody drove in any runs, as the two they scored came on a Warbirds throwing error. Delmarva fell to 15-28 on the season.
BONUS FCL NOTE: Newly signed veteran outfielder Tommy Pham made his organizational debut for the Florida Complex League Orioles. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout and a walk.
Saturday’s scheduled games:
Norfolk: at Jacksonville, 6:35 PM. Starter: Cameron Weston (0-1, 6.56)
Chesapeake: vs. Somerset, 6:35 PM. Starter: Sebastian Gongora (1-1, 4.21)
Frederick: vs. Greenville, 6:00 PM. Starter: Yeiber Cartaya (0-0, 0.87)
Delmarva: at Wilson, 7:05 PM. Starter: Caden Hunter (1-0, 0.95)
On May 8, 2025, Chicago native and Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became Pope Leo XIV. Soon after the announcement, news broke that the newest Holy Man was a lifelong White Sox fan who was in the crowd for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Because Chicago can’t be chill about anything, and the White Sox needed something good to cling to, the team took the news and ran with it. In August, they are even doing a Pope Hat night where everyone in attendance receives a White Sox-themed mitre.
Fresh off a 121-loss season, the South Siders were determined to only climb up from rock-bottom. There was a new manager and front office changes after a slew of firings — and now, a direct line with God. They still finished in last place, losing 102 games, but progress toward rebuilding was made, as several rookies debuted and gave fans something to be excited about.
Colson Montgomery, who was previously sent to Arizona to fix his issues at the plate, came up to the big leagues on July 4, 2025. He recorded his first MLB hit the next day, an RBI triple, and finished the game 3-for-5. On July 22, Montgomery hit his first career home run, and a month later he hit his first career grand slam. Montgomery finished his rookie year having appeared in 71 games and hitting .239 with 21 home runs and 55 RBIs. Finally, we could see signs of life in the dugout!
While the Pope still looms large, driving the narrative again in 2026, His Holiness can’t be the only guy getting credit (although he just got a signed Paul Konerko jersey!).
There seem to be other forms of magical thinking helping the White Sox on their surprisingly good start.
Enter Munetaka Murakami. Mune has been a force behind the plate, hitting .246 with 17 home runs (second in the league behind Kyle Schwarber) and 36 RBIs at the time of me writing this. He had the key hit in Friday’s win in San Francisco, a beautiful three-run double down the right-field line, as the White Sox put up nine runs in the fourth inning against the Giants. Yes, NINE RUNS IN ONE INNING. No other team prioritized Murakami on their radar, fearing the Japanese slugger would struggle at the plate. While the fear could’ve been credible, 29 teams passed on Mune before Chris Getz stepped in.
But two other hitters have been great this season alongside Murakami. Miguel Vargas has really come out of his shell and proven to be quite the slugger. Not far behind his Japanese teammate, Vargas is sitting at .237 with 11 home runs, 29 RBIs, and 41 hits.
Montgomery has been carving out quite the sophomore season as well, with an average of .222, 13 home runs, 31 RBIs, and 40 hits.
The team as a whole seems to be having a blast. Sure, wins help, but so does a little silliness and establishing new traditions. Word broke that Murakami took Montgomery and his teammates out to a sushi dinner, resulting in a new sushi celebration.
In late April, before his demotion, Jordan Leasure went on Amazon and purchased a $20 Harry Potter wand for Mike Vasil. What happened next has been non-stop entertainment. Despite his TJS setback from Spring Training, Vasil is such an important member of the White Sox clubhouse that he’s remained with the team for both home and road games, casting spells and waving his magic wand to help not only with morale, but perhaps wins as well.
So what’s the sorcery behind the wand? Does the magic stem from the power of friendship? Is Vasil secretly a warlock? As a Stevie Nicks wannabe/witchy woman/recovering Catholic, this question keeps me up at night. Quite literally, as it’s nearly midnight on Friday and I had to get my thoughts out on this.
Whatever it is, Mune is buying into it, and no one can prove that it wasn’t the reason behind his home run on against the Cubs on May 16.
As previously mentioned, I can be a little witchy. Not the wicked witch you see in the movies (though I used to watch the 1996 classic The Craft to help me sleep), but someone who believes in good vibes and manifesting. Manifestation, for those unsure, is the practice of using thoughts, beliefs, and emotions to turn intangible goals and desires into physical reality. At the beginning of the season, I felt the shift with this team. I was very high on the rebuild, claimed Davis Martin as my star pitcher, and predicted they would win more than 70 games this season. Yes, you read that right: 70+ games. All things I wrote down in a manifestation ritual back in January. It felt right.
As we reach the end of May, the White Sox are playing better than .500 and sitting in second place in the American League Central. Martin is 7-1 with an ERA of just 2.04 and is being recognized as one of the top pitchers in baseball. Baseball writers who would otherwise turn a blind eye to the team that just lost a record-breaking 121 games two seasons ago are starting to see what the White Sox are quietly building. Suddenly, taking two of three games in the Crosstown series is nothing. Who cares about those North Siders, or that center fielder? Can he catch the ball like Tristan Peters?
Not to mention the tape on the helmets — first from Sam Antonacci and also now Andrew Benintendi — that has helped with hitting the ball and getting on base.
There are plenty of factors at play for the 2026 White Sox. Taking a chance on a player, creating a fun environment, new traditions, a magic wand, some pseudoscience, and the holiest man in the world on your side. All of these can certainly create the perfect storm and allow people to believe again, even if it’s because of some higher power.
But I’m here to tell you, it’s time to believe in the players, too. They are putting in the work day-to-day, and making baseball fun on the South Side again.
My favorite MLB moneyline parlay for today features the surging Tampa Bay Rays, winners of nine of 10, and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Paul Skenes touching down in Toronto for the first time.
It also includes the MLB-leading Atlanta Braves, who always feel like a good bet to throw into a parlay.
This one pays out at a nice +935.
Looking for more moneyline plays for today? Check out our full MLB moneyline picks for today's slate.
I’m having a hard time understanding how the Tampa Bay Rays, who are 8-2 in their last 10 and starting Drew Rasmussen, find themselves as underdogs against the Yankees.
Rasmussen blanketed New York on April 12, pitching six scoreless innings of one-hit ball and striking out seven.
New York has lost three straight, and Yankees starter Ryan Weathers just got torched for five runs on seven hits last time out.
MLB moneyline parlay leg 2: Pirates (vs Blue Jays, 3:07 p.m. ET)
Win probability: 60.8%
Pittsburgh Pirates SP Paul Skenes is coming off an outlier performance where he was tagged for five runs in a loss to the Phillies.
He’s bounced back from two other starts where he’s allowed at least three runs this year, giving up a total of five hits, one earned run, and 12 strikeouts in that scenario.
The Jays are a light-hitting team at the moment, ranking 26th or worse in on-base, slugging and OPS, and 22nd in runs per game.
The Tigers are a mess, with seven straight losses and just two wins in their last 15 overall.
Over the last week, their offense has been abysmal, ranking last in slugging percentage and OPS, and Bottom-3 in runs scored, on-base percentage and batting average — spoiling what’s been a serviceable 3.66 ERA over that span.
The Baltimore Orioles have won five of six Brandon Young starts on the year, and the righty has allowed just two earned runs in each of his last two outings.
The Atlanta Braves keep churning out wins, looking for their fifth straight as they visit the nation’s capital.
Grant Holmes is coming off a dynamite start, pitching six scoreless innings.
The Braves have dominated this head-to-head, going 8-2 in the last 10 and putting up at least five runs in seven of those wins.
Jake Irvin has already been beat up by the Braves once this season, taking the loss after allowing four runs on three hits, including a home run in a 9-4 defeat.
How much does this MLB moneyline parlay pay out?
The best price on today's MLB moneyline parlay, from our top-ranked baseball betting sites, sits around the +900 range, with a max payout of +935.
That means that a $10 wager on this four-leg parlay returns $103.50 ($93.50 + your original $10 stake).
MLB parlay betting FAQs & tips
Can you add player props to an MLB moneyline parlay?
Yes, you can add player props (or Over/Unders, team totals, etc.), but your wager changes from a traditional multi-game parlay to a modified same-game parlay (depending on the bet, called a SGP+, SGPx, or super parlay) that blends a standard parlay with a same/single-game parlay.
What happens to an MLB moneyline parlay if a game gets rained out?
In the event one of your parlay legs gets postponed, most sportsbook with just remove that leg from the parlay and recalculate the odds of the bet without that game (reducing the total odds).
What are the main types of parlays I can make?
Traditional parlays: Each leg of the parlay comes from a different game
Same-game parlays (SGPs): Every leg of the parlay comes from the same game.
SGPx/SGP+/super parlays: At least two legs of the parlay are from the same game, with the rest of the legs from different games.

May 16, 2026; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy (17) in the dugout before a game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images | Brett Davis-Imagn Images
Chad Tracy stepped into this role with an interesting résumé. Years developing hitters in the Red Sox minor league system, building lineups with pieces that weren’t quite ready for prime time. Now he’s doing it in the majors, where the margin for error is different and the stakes are real. The early returns: 23 games, a 12-11 record so far.
That record doesn’t tell the whole story, though. The offense hasn’t improved. Not even close. Boston is only averaging 3.14 runs per game under Tracy vs. 4.15 under Alex Cora in the 2026 season. The team hasn’t gotten better at scoring. It’s gotten better at not giving games away, and the pitching deserves most of that credit.
But lineup construction is more of a story here than it might look at first. A lot of what Tracy has done looks similar to what Cora was doing—but the things that are actually different have fundamentally changed how this team operates on a nightly basis.
To understand the difference, I scraped every Red Sox game from Baseball Reference and ran the data through some pretty intense Python. A little caveat; the following analysis covers 49 games through May 21st, just before the start of the Twins series last night.
The clearest finding isn’t about who Tracy puts in the lineup. It’s about what they do once they’re in there.
Both managers shuffle the lineup constantly. Tracy has written 21 different lineups in 22 games. Cora wrote 26 in 27. Neither of them was the stability guy: something changed almost every night.
What’s different is how they shuffle. Under Cora, the same group of players appeared in wildly different spots in the order from game to game. A guy who hit fifth on Tuesday might hit second on Wednesday and seventh on Friday. Under Tracy—when a player is in the lineup, he tends to know where he’s hitting. Tracy changes who’sin the lineup more than he changes where his regulars hit. For some players, that consistency has made a real difference. For others, the consistency is the problem.
Re-Establishing The Top Of The Lineup
No player’s deployment tells the Tracy story more clearly than Jarren Duran’s.
Under Cora, Duran bounced around—second, third, fourth, fifth, and only four games in the lead-off slot. To measure how scattered that was, we calculated a consistency score for each player: a number that captures how all-over-the-place a player’s lineup spot has been across the season. A score of zero means they’ve batted in the exact same spot every single game. The higher the number, the more random their placement has been. Duran’s score under Cora was 2.4. That’s high. Cora never really made up his mind about where Duran fit.
Tracy made up his mind on day one. Duran has batted leadoff in virtually every game since Tracy took over, and his consistency score has dropped to 0.27—basically as close to zero as you’ll see from any player on any team mid-season. Genuinely—with the exception of one game in late April where Duran was put seventh in the order and a sporadic off day here and there—Tracy has looked at Duran, put him first, and hasn’t blinked.
Duran’s overall OPS is .562 on the year. That’s not great for a leadoff hitter. Tracy isn’t rewarding performance here; he’s making a bet. Get your most disruptive presence on base first, let him cause problems at the top, and build from there. Lately, that bet is looking smarter. Duran has started to find his groove over the recent stretch of games, looking more like the hitter who earned this role in the first place. Whether you agree with Tracy’s reasoning or not, it’s a real, committed decision. Cora never quite got there.
Pushing The Problems Down
Under Cora, Durbin averaged the six-hole in the lineup and was a regular presence across 24 starts. Under Tracy, he’s been sliding steadily toward the bottom of the order. He’s now averaging closer to the 8-hole, and the movement has been consistent enough over several weeks that it’s clearly not random. His OPS is .372. That number tells you everything about why. I wrote earlier this season about Durbin’s bat speed being akin to rolling up a newspaper to swat a fly. That hasn’t exactly changed and Tracy is putting him in a position that feels a lot more comfortable for the shape of this team and hopefully for Durbin’s development.
Trevor Story is a different kind of story. Under Cora he was a middle-of-the-order fixture around the cleanup spot. Story was clearly relied upon under Cora to be a leader and was depended on for his slot in the order—regardless of what ownership seems to think. Under Tracy, he’s floated between fourth and eighth: still in the lineup when healthy, but clearly no longer trusted with the big RBI spot he occupied earlier in the season. Story’s Win Probability Added has been the worst on the roster by a significant margin. He’s cost this team more in high-stakes moments than any other hitter. Story last started on May 14 and is now on the injured list until at least July. How much of his previous poor form is due to this sports hernia? Who’s to say.
The bottom of the order under Tracy is where problems go to do the least possible damage. That’s not an insult — it’s just how you manage a roster when you don’t have the depth to hide anything. Durbin gets buried. Story floated downward. And the guys who can actually hit get pushed up.
He Actually Thinks About Matchups
Here’s something that doesn’t show up in the box score: Tracy has written a noticeably different lineup depending on who’s starting on the mound for the other team.
The sample is small, just five games against left-handed starters under Tracy versus seventeen against righties; treat these as trends to watch rather than definitive patterns. Still, the direction is clear enough to be worth discussing.
The biggest mover is Andruw Monasterio. Against RHPs, Monasterio has averaged the sixth or seventh spot in the lineup. Against lefties, he jumps up more than two full spots, closer to the cleanup area. Tracy is using him more as a lefty specialist, recognizing that a right-handed hitter with that kind of flexibility is most valuable when the matchup actually calls for it. See his start on Friday night as DH against southpaw Connor Prielipp as some good evidence there.
The flip side is Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Against righties, he bats around sixth. Against lefties, Tracy buries him ninth. If you know the splits, the reason is obvious. Tracy clearly knows his splits.
Ceddanne Rafaela also bumps up in the order against left-handed starters on average, though the signal is softer than Monasterio’s. Tracy is thinking about the opposing arm when he writes the card.
The One He Still Hasn’t Figured Out
Rafaela’s overall deployment is the honest counterpoint to all of this.
He’s starting almost every game—19 of 22 starts under Tracy—which tells you Tracy values what he brings. But the lineup keeps moving him around without a clear pattern beyond the broad lefty-righty adjustment above. He’s batted fifth, seventh, sixth, eighth, and third. There’s no real home. His consistency score is the second-highest on the roster, meaning he’s more unpredictably placed than almost anyone else in the lineup. He started in the two-hole on Friday in Boston, the first time under Tracy and the fourth time this season. His chaos read in the lineup is all over the place. If Tracy is starting to think of him as a top-of-the-order option against lefties, that’s something to keep an eye on.
Some of that is the nature of who Rafaela is — his defense in center field is good enough that he earns his spot regardless, and Tracy probably has more freedom to move him around because of it. But you get the sense Tracy hasn’t fully decided what offensive role he wants Rafaela in. A consistency score that high doesn’t lie. It means no one knows where he’s batting tomorrow, including the manager.
Mickey Gasper is a footnote worth mentioning in all of this. He didn’t exist in Cora’s lineup—every one of his eight starts has come under Tracy, and he’s been one of the more interesting stories of this stretch. He’s slotting mainly into the 2-hole and posting over a 1.000 OPS. If that holds, Tracy’s going to have to account for him when the roster gets more crowded. Again, is this a product of Tracy coming from Worcester, knowing these AAA regulars better, and having faith about their usage in Boston? Still not enough sample size there to know for sure.
The Lineup Is About To Get A Lot More Complicated
The lineup Chad Tracy will write in July is going to look almost nothing like the one he’s been writing in May. And the decisions waiting for him are legitimately hard ones.
Roman Anthony is the most pressing. He hasn’t started since May 4—14 straight Tracy games missed with his wrist injury—but he’s expected to be the first of the big injured pieces to return. Before this, in the eight starts Anthony made under the new skipper, he batted third seven times and first once. That’s a clear answer about how Tracy sees him. Under Cora, Anthony was essentially the leadoff hitter. That role belongs to Duran now, and it’s not changing when Anthony comes back. The realistic lineup when Anthony is healthy: Duran leading off, maybe Rafaela or a platoon hitting second (we’ll see if Micky Gasper isn’t the first send down back to Worcester at that point in time), Anthony third, Abreu fourth. That’s a real top of the order — and it could come together before the end of June.
Trevor Story is more of a July problem. He’s out until at least then, and honestly, the lineup has been fine enough in his absence given where his numbers were. Whoever fills that spot in the meantime isn’t going to match Story’s name value. They might match his actual production without too much trouble. The more interesting question is what Tracy does with Story when he comes back healthy. Does he reclaim a middle-of-the-order spot on reputation? Or does the data — and Tracy — say otherwise?
And then there’s Triston Casas, who hasn’t appeared in a single game this season. More setbacks in his recovery but he is still contractually obligated to this team. If and when Casas comes back, Tracy has a real decision at first base. Contreras has been the team’s best run-producer this season—10 home runs, solid OPS, 1,000th career RBI, and he’s been doing it at first. You can’t just bench Contreras. But you also can’t ignore what Casas is when healthy. Of the three injured pieces, Casas likely comes back last, which at least gives Tracy some runway before he has to make that call. Even for Conteras, the return of Anthony puts him in a pickle. Is he the five hole man, does he get starts at the two spot, does he shuffle everyone else and stay as the cleanup hitter he’s been in the past week? These are good problems to have, but still hard ones to make.
Chad Tracy has spent 23 games making real decisions and mostly making smart ones. He committed to Duran at the top, buried his problems at the bottom, and genuinely understands his roster enough to make the right tweaks facing lefty vs. righty starters. He responds to what’s in front of him. That’s a coherent approach and the record reflects it.
But the roster he’ll manage in July won’t be exactly the roster he has today. And the decisions he makes when the pieces come back will tell us a lot more about what kind of manager he actually is.
He didn’t score any points with her — but who can blame him!
A Brooklyn woman went viral after she was stood up by her blind date, who blew her off at the last minute after snagging Knicks playoff tickets.
Sarah Stone arrived at Café Carmellini in NoMad an hour early for her 6 p.m. date earlier this month, settling in and ordering a glass of wine while she waited for the man.
Sara Stone went viral for filming a video after she got stood up because her date scored Knicks playoff tickets Lone Pine Press for NY Post
It also happened to be Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks played the Philadelphia 76ers.
Suddenly, her phone lit up with a message.
“He texted me and said, ‘Don’t kill me,'” she told The Post.
Once she saw his ominous words, she decided to call him.
“He pretty much said, ‘Hey, so, my boy, he got me tickets to the Knicks game. So I’m not gonna be able to make it,'” she recalled.
“I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? I’m already here. I’m having a cocktail. I was looking forward to seeing you.’ But he was like, ‘Yeah, but it’s the playoffs and we got some good tickets.'”
Stone then asked if she could tag along for the game, which the Knicks ultimately won 108-102.
“I was like, ‘OK, so are you gonna take me with you? Ask him for an extra ticket!’ Cause I wanted to go. And he was like, ‘No, I’m his plus one.'”
The man, whom she initially connected with through a mutual friend, then apologized, asking to reschedule and offering to pay for her drink, but the damage was already done.
“He was like, ‘I’m sorry, please let me make it up to you. Let’s reschedule. I’ll send you money for your cocktail,'” she said.

“But I was like, ‘No.’ Because I was pissed off.”
After the disappointing call, she decided to film the now-viral video from her seat at the restaurant.
“I was looking cute and I needed to vent to somebody, because I was like, ‘Can y’all believe this?'”
She was shocked when it went so viral — with even the Knicks’ official page commenting, “Forgive him please.”
“Spike Lee commented, [former Knick] J.R. Smith,” Stone added.
Most agreed with the man, saying they wouldn’t give up the once-in-a-lifetime tickets either.
Stone revealed that since the video went viral, she’s been asked out on a bunch of dates. Lone Pine Press for NY Post
“He got his priorities straight,” one wrote, while another added, “He made the right choice.”
Others thought his decision showed good character.
“Girl, those are actually green flags! It shows he has commitment and loyalty,” one said.
Some joked that she needed a reality check.
“She think she bigger than the KNICKS?!?!” one asked.
“Man if Kylie Jenner can get left at the Met Gala for the Knicks game, so can you,” someone else said, referring to when Timothée Chalamet chose to attend Game 1 of the Knicks-76ers series instead of attending the star-studded event with his girlfriend.
“Everybody’s Team Knicks. They hate me,” Stone said, laughing at all the comments.
“But it’s like you just feel played and stupid. I was literally there. Did my hair, makeup, got a cute little outfit.”
Stone revealed that she actually did end up going out with the Knicks fan who stood her up.
They met up two days later — but she wasn’t impressed.
“Nah. I wasn’t interested. I was already turned off and he wasn’t that cute,” she said, laughing.
Her video caught the attention of many other men who have asked her out — but so far, she hasn’t accepted any offers.
“I got a lot of DMs saying, like, ‘I would have never done that to you,’ ‘How about I take you to a Knicks game,’ or ‘You’re too pretty for that,’ or ‘I hate the Knicks anyway.'”
TORONTO, ON - MAY 22: Yohendrick Pinango #24 of the Toronto Blue Jays hits a two-run double in the third inning during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Rogers Centre on May 22, 2026 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images) | Getty Images
Not an ideal night. The Yankees’ main rival, at least in terms of the standings, won. Worse, they beat the Yankees. But hey, Gerrit Cole is back and looked great in his return. Unfortunately, he can’t do anything about a putrid Yankee offense.
So on a pretty blah night of baseball, we have to take our pleasure where we can… by savoring the losses of our rivals. Unfortunately, entirely too many of them won Friday. Why can’t we have nice things?
Toronto Blue Jays (24-27) 6, Pittsburgh Pirates (26-25) 2
This one was closer than the score suggests. At least until the bottom of the eighth inning. Kevin Gausman got the start for the Jays, fresh off a series split with the Yanks. Other than a first inning sacrifice fly, Gausman completely stymied the Bucs’ bats.
Offensively, the Jays got all they actually needed in the home third. After Daulton Varsho, who had a great series against New York, drove in the game-tying run, Yohendrick Piñango doubled in a pair, giving Toronto a 3-1 lead.
Gausman got Toronto through 6.2 frames before handing off to the ‘pen. In the top of the eighth, with the Jays up two, manager John Schneider decided not to screw around and brought in closer Louis Varland for what ended up a six-out save. Varland allowed a second Pirates’ run in the eighth but the Jays offense, led by a two-run George Springer double, put up another three spot in the home half. Varland locked down Pittsburgh in the ninth and the Jays took the series opener 6-2.
Other Games
Boston Red Sox (22-28) 6, Minnesota Twins (24-27) 8: At least Boston lost, though for most of this one it looked like they were headed to victory. Up 6-3 through six, however, Red Sox reliever Justin Slaten imploded, enabling the Twinkies to take a lead they’d never surrender. A pair of two-run jacks, one from Byron Buxton and the other off the bat of Austin Martin, turned said 6-3 deficit into a 7-6 Minnesota lead. The Twins added an insurance run in the top of the ninth and former Yankee Anthony Banda retired Boston in the bottom of the ninth to seal the win, and his first save of the season.
Cleveland Guardians (31-22) 1, Philadelphia Phillies (25-26) 0: Cleveland starter Gavin Williams was the story Friday night in Philly. Matched up against Phillies’ ace Christoper Sánchez, who hurled eight frames of one-run ball, Williams was even better. He stifled the Philly lineup, allowing a mere four hits, only one (a Bryce Harper double) for extra bases. Meanwhile, he whiffed 11 while refusing to surrender a free pass. The result was a ton of zeroes in the run column and, thanks to a clutch Kyle Manzardo solo home run in the top of the ninth, Williams’ seventh win of the season and Cleveland’s 31st.
Seattle Mariners (25-27) 2, Kansas City Royals (20-31) 0: Speaking of great pitching, the Mariners were another beneficiary Friday night. First, starter Logan Gilbert went 5.2, allowing nary a run. From there, the bullpen took over and hurled another 3.1 shutout innings. Eduard Bazardo, responsible for 1.1 of those, was the pitcher of record when Mitch Garver’s second home run of the season, a two-run blast, gave Seattle all the offense they needed (and all the offense they’d get).
Texas Rangers (24-26) 6, Los Angeles Angels (18-34) 9: On a night teeming with pitching, you’d be forgiven for assuming Jacob deGrom, one of the greatest hurlers of his generation, was one of the stars of the evening. You’d also be wrong. The Angels hung a four-spot on deGrom in the first, thanks to home runs from Zach Neto (solo) and Wade Meckler (three-run). All told, deGrom gave up six runs in three innings, putting Texas in quite the hole. Texas fought back, getting as close as 6-5, before the Angels extended the lead to 9-5, thanks in part to another solo shot from Neto. Texas managed one more in the ninth but came up far short.

Expert MLB moneyline picks for May 23
Cardinals vs Reds: Cardinals (+105)
Cardinals win probability: 50%
The St. Louis Cardinals head into Cincinnati seeking an NL Central bounce-back series win, and they have the perfect weapon on the mound. Andre Pallante dominates the Reds historically, carrying a 6-4 record, a 2.49 ERA, and 49 strikeouts across 19 career appearances. Take the Cardinals moneyline to cash in Game 1 of the doubleheader.
Rays vs Yankees: Rays (+119) — POSTPONED
Rays win probability: 45%
Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm.
Astros vs Cubs: Astros (+129)
Astros win probability: 43%
After dropping the series opener to the Astros, the Cubs try to even the score on Saturday. They’ll have to do it against the teeth of Houston's rotation, starting with Kai-Wei Teng (2-3, 2.61 ERA). With Colin Rea taking the mound for Chicago amid a recent rough patch (4.98 ERA), the pitching matchup favors an otherwise banged-up Houston squad.
Pirates vs Blue Jays: Pirates (-142)
Pirates win probability: 57%
The Pittsburgh Pirates send ace Paul Skenes to the mound on Saturday afternoon looking to rebound from a series-opening loss. Facing a Toronto Blue Jays lineup hitting just .248 against righties this season, expect Skenes to control the tempo and help the Bucs bounce back.
Tigers vs Orioles: Orioles (-112)
Orioles win probability: 52%
The Baltimore Orioles have a prime opportunity to pick up a win on Saturday against Framber Valdez. The left-handed starter owns a mediocre 4.17 career ERA in seven outings against the Orioles, making him vulnerable to an O's lineup featuring Sam Huff, who leads the team with a blistering .400 batting average against southpaws this year.
Guardians vs Phillies: Phillies (-183)
Phillies win probability: 64%
Zack Wheeler is living up to his nickname, wheeling and dealing his way to a 1.99 ERA and a perfect 3-0 record for the Philadelphia Phillies. Up next are the Guardians, whose .222 team batting average against righties is bound to tank even further against Philadelphia's elite right-hander.
White Sox vs Giants: White Sox (+109)
White Sox win probability: 47%
Erick Fedde has a prime opportunity to hand the White Sox a road win today. He faces a San Francisco lineup hitting just .240 against righties with a sluggish .290 OBP. With Chicago boasting a significantly sharper .323 OBP to spark their own offense, backing the White Sox as road underdogs offers great value.
Mariners vs Royals: Mariners (-126)
Mariners win probability: 55%
This matchup features two middle-of-the-pack teams in their respective divisions, but the Seattle Mariners have a massive situational edge on the mound. George Kirby has been a certified cheat code against the Kansas City Royals, boasting a flawless 2-0 record, a 2.08 ERA, and 17 punchouts in four career games. Back the Mariners on the road to shut down the KC offense.
Twins vs Red Sox: Red Sox (-112)
Red Sox win probability: 52%
With Taj Bradley expected to show some rust in his first start back on the mound, the Boston Red Sox are in a prime bounce-back spot. After letting Friday night's game slip away late, the Boston offense should find plenty of success early against the right-hander.
Nationals vs Braves: Braves (-183)
Braves win probability: 64%
The red-hot Atlanta Braves look to continue their dominant run today, and a matchup against Jake Irvin gives them a massive upper hand. Irvin has struggled out of the gate this season with a bloated 5.79 ERA, and his lifetime numbers versus Atlanta — a 2-3 record and 3.98 ERA in eight games — aren't reassuring. Back the Braves moneyline to take care of business at home.
Mets vs Marlins: Marlins (-107)
Marlins win probability: 51%
Max Meyer has been delivering massive value for the Marlins, boasting a spotless record and a sharp 2.85 ERA. This afternoon, Miami looks to add to the Mets' divisional misery. Look for the Marlins to exploit a struggling New York team and cash as a lively home underdog.
Cardinals vs Reds: Reds (-103)
Reds win probability: 50%
Back on the mound against the team that ruined his big-league debut a year ago, Chase Petty is looking for ultimate redemption. With a full season of developmental adjustments under his belt, expect the Cincinnati Reds' prospect to bounce back with a much cleaner start and help salvage a split in today's doubleheader.
Dodgers vs Brewers: Dodgers (-116)
Dodgers win probability: 53%
Roki Sasaki is on the bump for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they look to rebound from a Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in this series. His 5.09 ERA is a bit inflated, but his electric strikeout stuff means he can dominate any lineup when he's on. Expect a strong response from L.A. behind their young right-hander.
A's vs Padres: A's (-107)
Padres win probability: 51%
The San Diego Padres are tough at home, but J.T. Ginn gives the Athletics a serious edge to pull off Saturday's upset. The AL West-leading A's have a great weapon on the bump today, as Ginn brings a stellar 2.98 ERA and 44 strikeouts into this matchup. Grab the visitors to steal a big road win.
Rangers vs Angels: Rangers (-131)
Rangers win probability: 56%
Laying it with the Texas Rangers looks like an even sweeter deal on Saturday night thanks to their edge on the bump. Texas hands the ball to Nathan Eovaldi, who has absolutely owned the Los Angeles Angels throughout his career, boasting a 7-3 record, a 3.04 ERA, and 77 punchouts in 16 career outings against them.
Rockies vs Diamondbacks: Diamondbacks (-168)
Diamondbacks win probability: 62%
Zac Gallen has been an absolute cash machine when facing the Colorado Rockies. Over 18 career outings against the Rockies, the righty has pitched his way to a 9-1 record, a 3.41 ERA, and 121 strikeouts. Lock in the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight as Gallen looks to maintain his historical mastery over his division rivals.

Swiss police are investigating an alleged robbery with reports that the four-times Formula 1 world champion Alain Prostwas injured during a home invasion. The Swiss tabloid Blick reported late on Friday that the 71-year-old Frenchman sustained a head injury from intruders who forced his son to open a safe during the incident on Tuesday morning.
“The perpetrators entered the residence while the occupants were present, threatened them, and forced one family member to open a safe before fleeing with the stolen goods,” the public prosecutor’s office said. “Despite the extensive search operation launched, the perpetrators have not yet been apprehended.”
