Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Tigers and the Pirates

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Paul Skenes to win NL CY Young over Zack Wheeler:

"Entering the All-Star break, Skenes had a 1.19 ERA in career wins compared to a 2.39 ERA in losses or non-decisions, so either way, he hasn’t been the Buccos’ problem since he arrived. This year alone, Skenes has allowed 27 runs over 20 starts and the Pirates have lost 11 of those 20 games!

Pittsburgh’s offense has scored the fewest runs in not just the NL, but all of baseball — even the Rockies and White Sox. For more context, the Phillies have scored 112 more runs than the Pirates in one less game.

Both Skenes and Wheeler will be dominant in the second-half, I have no doubts, but Skenes could post a sub 2.00 ERA this season (was doing so through 19 starts), sub .200 OBA, and still have a losing record, which on surface level makes no sense.

Despite how it looks or sounds, I think what Skenes is doing weighs more impressive, challenging, and deserving than what Wheeler is doing."

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Guardians to reach 80 wins:

“In the first 24 games of the 67 one second-half of the schedule are the Athletics, Orioles, Royals, Rockies, Twins, Mets, White Sox, and Marlins -- beautiful! Cleveland took the series against the A’s, 2-1 and beat the O's in the opener— so far so good.

The Guardians have the easiest strength of schedule remaining in the MLB and need a 34-33 record over the second half to secure 80-plus wins, which I believe is more than possible.”

Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Red Sox and the Phillies

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the value on Boston to miss the postseason:

“Boston has the third-toughest remaining strength of schedule (.516 winning %). Let’s look at the first 15 games of the second half for Boston:

3 road games at the Cubs (1-2 record)
3 road games at the Phillies (0-1 record)
3 home games vs the Dodgers
3 road games at the Twins
3 home games vs the Astros

That schedule alone could put them behind and make a +105 to -115 bet became -200 to -300 quickly. During the All-Star break, I played Boston at plus-money to miss the postseason and think it’s still a good bet after losing three of four after the break.”

Giants' Rafael Devers making first MLB start at first base Tuesday vs. Braves

Giants' Rafael Devers making first MLB start at first base Tuesday vs. Braves originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The Giants made a significant change to their starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park.

San Francisco slugger Rafael Devers is batting third and playing first base, which marks the first time the 28-year-old will play the position in his MLB career.

Devers played third base for nearly his entire career with the Red Sox before the team signed Alex Bregman in the offseason, and Devers became Boston’s designated hitter before the blockbuster trade to the Giants in June.

Boston wanted Devers to transition to first base, but the slugger reportedly was not keen on the idea, but with the Giants, Devers has expressed a willingness to play wherever the team needs him.

San Francisco initially planned to transition Devers over to first base after the trade, but a minor groin injury delayed his position switch in recent weeks, but it appears he is healthy enough to do so now.

Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Padres and the Marlins

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Padres to be in the postseason mix:

“Looking at the second half of the year per Tankathon, San Diego has the 4th-easiest strength of schedule remaining

The Padres open the second-half with three games at the Nationals, three more at the Marlins, then to St. Louis for three more road games as part of a nine-game East Coast road trip. However, we have to admit, those are decent matchups to have a winning record across for a 9-game road trip — in other words, it could be much worse.

After that nine-game road trip, the next 27 games will be on the West Coast for San Diego, whether they are in California, Arizona or Washington (the state). San Diego will be in a prime position to make a run at the playoffs, but I still haven’t gotten to the best part.

The final month of the season is a great opportunity for the Padres to gain ground too -- in the final 28 games -- 13 of those are against the Orioles, White Sox, and Rockies!

I love the Padres to make the postseason as a second-half futures bet.”

Blackhawks Exciting Forward Is Big Breakout Candidate

The Chicago Blackhawks have one of the strongest prospect pools in the NHL. It is not difficult to understand why, as they have been rebuilding for multiple years now. As a result, they have brought in several exciting youngsters who have the potential to become long-term parts of their future. 

One specific Blackhawks prospect who fans should be excited about is forward Oliver Moore. The 2023 first-round pick has the potential to become a good NHL player, and the prospect of him having a breakout season for the Blackhawks in 2025-26 is certainly there.

After signing his entry-level contract with the Blackhawks in late March, Moore left a solid first impression with the Original Six club. In nine games with the Blackhawks in 2024-25, the Minnesota native recorded four assists. Overall, the young forward had a nice start to his NHL career and did not look out of place in the slightest. 

Moore's play at the collegiate level also shows that he possesses good upside. In 38 games during the 2024-25 season with the University of Minnesota, he posted 12 goals, 21 assists, 33 points, and a plus-13 rating. This was after he had nine goals and 24 assists in 39 games with the school during his freshman year. 

With the Blackhawks not making too many additions to their forward group this off-season, Moore should have a real shot at making their NHL roster out of training camp. If he does, it would not be surprising if we see him take a nice step forward in his development in 2025-26. When looking at Chicago's roster, he could become a real answer for their top nine in the near future, and it will be fascinating to see if he breaks out next season because of it. 

Ex-Blackhawks Defender Still Looking For New HomeEx-Blackhawks Defender Still Looking For New HomeDuring this past off-season, the Chicago Blackhawks signed defenseman TJ Brodie to a two-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $3.75 million. The hope was that the veteran blueliner would provide their top four with a nice boost.

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the value on the Yankees to win the AL East:

“This series will be a defining one in the AL East race that has seen the Toronto Blue Jays take ahold of. Toronto is up in the series season and swept New York earlier in the season, so it’s an ideal time for the Yankees to strike back.

The odds are down to plus-money on the Yankees to win the division, which could be back to -150 with a series win over the Blue Jays.”

Firing on All Cylinders: Flames’ Matt Coronato Emerging as a Core Piece

Name a player on the Calgary Flames with a quicker, more deceptive release than Matt Coronato.

Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Sure, Yegor Sharangovich might come to mind. He’s got a laser of a shot when he decides to unleash it. But that’s the thing—he picks his spots. Coronato, on the other hand, doesn’t need an invitation. The kid has a shoot-first mentality that few young players possess, and that trait is quickly becoming his calling card.

Last season, the Greenlawn, New York native peppered opposing goaltenders with a career-high 180 shots on net. That’s not just volume—it’s confidence, instinct, and opportunity all rolled into one. For a 22-year-old still finding his full stride in the NHL, Coronato is already showing signs of becoming a lethal offensive threat for years to come.

The Flames clearly agree.

Back on May 3, 2025, Calgary locked up the talented winger to a seven-year, $45.5 million contract extension—an average annual value of $6.5 million. It was a decisive move from GM Craig Conroy, ensuring that one of the team’s most promising young players remains a central piece of the puzzle deep into the next decade.

And frankly, the deal could end up looking like a bargain.

Coronato didn’t just earn the extension—he demanded it with his play. In the final season of his three-year entry-level contract, the former 13th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft finished third on the Flames in both goals (24) and points (47). He consistently found ways to contribute, whether on the power play, at even strength, or in key moments late in games. His offensive instincts, combined with a tireless work ethic, make him a player you can build around.

Here’s how Coronato’s numbers stacked up in 2024-25:

  • Goals: 24 (3rd on team)
  • Assists: 23
  • Points: 47 (T-3rd on team)
  • Shots on Goal: 180
  • Power Play Goals: 5
  • Game-Winning Goals: 4
  • Shooting Percentage: 13.3%

THN Hosts @kelsey_surmacz4 , @emma_lingan , @MikeInBuffalo discuss the latest updates, trades and other hockey news on the newest episode of the Wrap Around. Listen now on

Off the ice, Coronato is as humble and likeable as they come. He’s the kind of guy teammates rally around—low maintenance, high impact. But make no mistake: it’s not his personality that got him paid. It’s the production. It’s the trajectory. It’s the fact that he’s still getting better.

If the Flames are betting on Coronato to be a core offensive driver as they reshape their roster for the future, it’s a safe bet. He’s got the tools, the temperament, and most importantly, the trigger.

If he keeps shooting the way he has, he might just find his way into the upper echelon of NHL scorers—maybe even before this new deal hits the halfway mark.

One thing’s for sure: no one’s telling Coronato to shoot the puck.

He already knows.

Should the Avalanche Pursue a Trade for Yegor Chinakhov?

The Colorado Avalanche's 2025 free agency has been relatively quiet. Outside of re-signing some pending unrestricted and restricted free agents, the only actual free agent signing was Brent Burns. The Avalanche still has over $4 million in cap space to use. If the Avalanche want to make a  big splash this summer, then look no further than Columbus Blue Jackets Yegor Chinakhov.

Last week, his agent tweeted that his client would like a fresh start somewhere else. Stating that the 21st pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft has had some misunderstandings with the coach and staff. Even doubling down in an interview, stating how his clients' best intentions are to be moved.

Columbus’ GM, Don Waddell, told Portzline that he wasn’t surprised by the request, and that Chinakhov didn’t take well to being healthy scratched after not playing well following a back injury. Chinakhov has dealt with injuries throughout his short NHL career; however, he exhibits many qualities that could help the Avalanche as an “overager” prospect who has yet to truly break out.

Chinakhov is listed at 6-foot-1, 201 lbs. He had seven goals and 15 points in 30 games this past season, but that came after a 16-goal, 29-point 2023-24 season in just 53 games. At 24 years old, this can help the Avalanche as a player who can contribute now, rather than trading for a 20-year-old prospect who is unhappy with his playing time and needs more time to develop. If there was a team that the Columbus Blue Jackets could feel “comfy” enough to deal with, look no further than the Avalanche and their recent trade that saw Miles Wood and Charlie Coyle be moved.

What Chinakhov Can Bring To The Lineup

Using the 2023-24 season as a baseline dataset, since it provided a larger sample than the previous season, let's examine Chinakhov's strengths he brings to a team. The biggest highlight is Chinakhov is a high-end skater, as his top skating speed ranked in the 94th percentile. This is an already fast team up and down the lineup, and it showed this past season, especially with the addition of Martin Necas.

Last season the Avalanche were in the 99th percentile of 18-20, 20-22, 22+ bursts and Top Speed (Mph).

Per NHL Edge:  Nathan MacKinnon led all forwards with the most 20 mph+ bursts (547) and 22 mph+ bursts (83). Necas finished second in 22 mph+ bursts (47) and fifth in 20 mph+ bursts (370). Cale Makar led all defenseman in 20 mph+ bursts (206) and 22 mph+ bursts (27).

Chinakhov possesses underrated shot , as his top shot speed ranked in the 97th percentile during the 2023-24 season (per NHL Edge). His goal-scoring rates over the past two seasons indicate significant breakout potential. If he can maintain his health, and if paired with the proper playmaker, it could set him up for the best position in his career so far.

Where Would Chinakhov Fit In The Lineup?

This is the biggest question if the Avalanche were to acquire him, and a significant one to say the least if they are considering doing so. The top six is currently the best it has been since the 2021-22 season, so moving someone out of that lineup would be a significant move.

In the event of an injury, he could take on the position for the time being, and, unfortunately, injuries can happen, allowing him to make the most of an unfortunate situation. However, this team currently faces some significant questions that must be addressed soon, especially for the upcoming seasons. Though they could be addressed by considering Chinakhov’s play if they do acquire him.

Martin Necas remains unsigned, a situation that has been a significant talking point throughout the summer. Artturi Lehkonen has two years remaining on his contract and will be 32 years old when it expires. Gabriel Landeskog, despite appearing strong in last season's playoffs, will be returning for his first full season after injury. It's uncertain how this will impact his physical condition, given his age of 32 and the three more seasons remaining on his contract after this upcoming season. Valeri Nichushkin is 30 and has four more years remaining on his contract as well.

If the Avalanche did acquire him, he could be that next key piece in the coming seasons, being the next man up in the top-six as current players slowly fill out a middle/bottom-six role. Getting young, fresh legs up in the top-six to lead the offense while taking pressure off the aging veterans.

What Could The Price Be To Get Chinakhov?

With a cap hit of $2.1 million and being an arbitration-eligible RFA next summer, what might the Blue Jackets ask for Chinakhov? More prospects? Picks? Depth NHLers? Depending on what it is, the Avalanche could penny up the asking price.

The Avalanche don’t have a first, second, or third-round pick this upcoming season, but they do have an extra fourth-round pick, two extra fifth-round picks, and two extra seventh-round picks. They don’t have a 2026 third-round pick, but they do have all of their original picks, plus an additional second-round pick from the Charlie Coyle trade and an extra fifth-round pick from the Mackenzie Blackwood trade.

At the end of the day, if the Avalanche do end up making a deal, it all comes down to what the cost looks like. He might or might not be a success story at the end of the day, just another trade that just didn’t pan out well for the team. Although he could also be a key piece that helps push the team into a better position, maybe not now, but down the road. A key young player who helps take a larger step each season to pivot the team's path as this team's core begins to age and take a step back.

The Dallas Stars traded defenseman Matt Dumba and a 2028 second-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins for defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok. 

Dumba, 30, recorded 79 goals, 157 assists, 236 points, and 816 hits in 598 games across ten seasons in his Wild career after he was the seventh overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft.

Last season with the Stars, Dumba recorded one goal and ten points in 63 games. He will now be on his fourth team in the last two seasons since playing his first ten seasons with the Wild.

The greatest year in sports history? Why it has to be 1985

Four decades have passed and we’re still reminiscing about Taylor v Davis, Boris Becker, Sandy Lyle … and a lot more

By That 1980s Sports Blog

I’ve been putting this off for years, but the recent Live Aid nostalgia has pushed me over the edge. We’ve all had the debate in the pub about the greatest sporting year – no, just me then? – so I’m here to argue the case for 1985. After 40 years, it is time to tell 1985 that I’m crazy for you.

There are, of course, many factors involved when it comes to picking your favourite sporting year. Allegiance matters. Therefore, Manchester United winning a treble, Europe collapsing in the Ryder Cup and Australia winning two World Cups means I don’t want to party like it’s 1999. Yet pushing all this irrational stuff to one side, there can be no doubting the credentials of 1985.
