We’re a little past the halfway point of the 2024 MLB season, which can mean different things to different people. If you’re in the hunt for your league or (gulp) an overall: congrats! For the rest of us, now can be a time of reflection and projection, where we re-evaluate what went right or wrong this year and start to think about how we can apply those lessons to next season.

The Red Sox have been inconsistent most of the year, but then got a red-hot before the All-Star break. They have a 53-42 record. They have jumped into the top five in both pitching and batting which is why they have gotten red-hot. The pitching has been consistent all season and then the bats got red-hot recently, making this a dangerous team potentially down the stretch. Our MLB odds series has our Red Sox prediction and odds to make the 2024 MLB Playoffs.

Thanks to Jarren Duran's fifth-inning go-ahead two-run home run, the American League beat the National League in the 94th MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night (AL 5, NL 3). The Boston Red Sox star took Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene deep to break the tie at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and was named the All-Star Game MVP in return.

NBA Summer League rolls on! Even though we’re now past the halfway point, I’ll still include my warnings about how this tournament works. First, the rules are different. For our purposes, the three most important rule changes are that the games are 40 minutes instead of 48, players get 10 personal fouls instead of six, and it takes 10 team fouls in one quarter for a team to reach the bonus rather than five.

It’s hard to believe the 2024 MLB season is already at the All-Star break, but here we are. We have a little more time until the second half of the season officially kicks off, so we will be taking a look at the MLB awards outright markets, including MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year to provide an update on the preseason articles at these very same markets. Today, we will take a look at the Rookie of the Year Award.

2024 MLB Rookie of the Year Odds and Best Bets

It’s hard to believe we’re past the midway point of the 2024 MLB season. Back in March, I picked the Dodgers and Astros to face off in the World Series. The Dodgers, the preseason favorite, still sit at the top of the odds board despite having seven starting pitchers on the injured list. Houston came out of the gate flat but undeterred by their slow start and having five legit starting pitchers on the injured list themselves, have the third-best record in baseball over the last 30 games at 20-10, behind two surging teams in the Mets and Red Sox.

Fantasy football draft season is here. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to start your draft prep. One of the most useful weapons to have in your draft day arsenal is fantasy football tiers. With a tier-based approach, you can see how each player stacks up at his respective position. Tiers are slightly different from fantasy football rankings because it’s not just a straight list of players. These groupings allow for a more flexible approach to drafting that you can ultimately build into your draft board.
