Good afternoon sports fans, it’s Chris Bengel back in the saddle with you.
The 2023 MLB All-Star Game is in the books and an unlikely hero rose to the occasion in the form of Rockies catcher Elias Diaz. In the eighth inning, Diaz slugged a two-run home run off of Orioles closer Felix Bautista to give the National League the 3-2 lead and eventual win. It snapped the American League’s nine-year winning streak in the Midsummer Classic.
Following a few days off, the second half of the MLB season will begin Friday, and we’ll have a clearer view of what the 2023 postseason will look like as the season chugs along. The race to the World Series looks to be wide-open with teams like the Braves, Rangers, Rays, and many others hoping to make a deep run. Next month’s trade deadline could be the difference for a few of these teams.
With the MLB having a few days off, the sports calendar doesn’t have a ton happening. However, the WNBA season is in full swing, and I’ve got a few picks for you on this Wednesday.
