Barely Breathing
Still Alive, New Friends, and much more!
Good morning everyone! Here's what news we ✨snagged✨ for you around the sports world today:
🍀 Still Alive
🥜 New Friends
🚀 ...and much more! Let's get into it.
👑 Main Character
Do you believe in miracles? The Celtics finally took a game from the Heat on home court in last night’s Game 5 behind Jayson Tatum who finally decided to show up with a 33/7/11 performance.
ESPN only gives the Heat a 61% chance to win the series, even with the fact that no NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. We’re either about to see something the world as never seen, or the Miami Heat will become the greatest underdog to ever step foot in the NBA Finals. One has to give, and lucky for us, we get to find out soon enough.
🥺 Wholesome Content

Zach Hample, the home run catching king of baseball, caught his 90th home run last night. No matter what you may think of a grown man bringing a glove to major league games, what he did after the catch is as good as it gets.
🐣 Tweet of the Day
That was nuts!

Come for the incredible reaction, stay for the flawlessly executed pun by the MLB social team. Has the rally squirrel chosen its team of the year?

Tuesday’s Results:
✅ Rangers -1.5 vs. Pirates
❌ Astros vs. Brewers YRFI
❌ Stars ML -143 vs. Vegas
About last night...
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about how stupid of a play Jamie Benn made last night that got him a game misconduct penalty. He’s the captain and he is pulling a move like that and cross checking a guy already down on the ice… unreal. The Stars’ season is dead, and I’m just happy I have a new great Dallas team to cheer for as the Rangers look like a real contender.
⚾️ MLB: D-Backs to Score first / D-Backs ML vs. Phillies
Zac Gallen is one of the best pitchers in the league so far this year with a 6-2 record and sub 3.00 ERA. Along with that, he hit a bird with a baseball and killed it. Anyone who kills a bird will be in my good graces for life. D-Backs should win this one with ease.
⚾️ MLB: Orioles vs. Yankees NRFI / Orioles ML
Putting my gut on the line here. The Yankees are 26th in the league in NRFI and the Orioles are T4. The last five Yankee games have had a run scored in the first inning, so I’m going to bob where they weave, zig where they zag. Also, I don’t believe in giving out “leaning” bets, but if I did, it would be the Orioles ML. However, I am going to stick my gut out and take them ML.
⚾️ MLB: Blue Jays vs. Rays NRFI
I think there is a chance for some increased value here. These teams rank 2nd and T6th in NRFI this year so far, but coming off of a game where the Jays scored 20 runs, you could see more casual bettors throwing a couple extra bets on YRFI and add a couple points of value.
