The Dodgers are coming off a sweep of Colorado bringing them closer to the Giants while also creating some distance between them and the Rockies.
Toronto is facing its first series sweep of the season on Thursday against New York. This team has struggled at Yankees Stadium since forever but they are still in first place, albeit by a shrinking margin.
Colombia got off to a great start with a 3-0 victory over Greece. They were the favourites and played like it against a Greek team that is not very threatening.
There is no team hotter than Kansas City. The Royals have won 9 in a row with the last two over the Tigers on the road.
It was a rare occurrence but the Rangers jumped all over the A’s last night in their series opener at Oakland.
It might have taken a little while and there was a bit of controversy but the home squad got off to a solid start in beating Croatia 3-1.
There has been tremendous build up for this World Cup for Belgium. There is no doubting this is a very good team but since it is new for Belgium to be a favourite many are wondering how their talented team will respond.
Russia is not the favourite in their group but they have a nice chance to advance. The key will be getting this victory over Korea, a match that many expect to be close.
Not much is expected of this Iran team at the World Cup. In some tuneup matches heading into the event they were far from impressive with draws against Belarus, Montenegro and Angola as well as a win over Trinidad in their final match.
The Heat are in big trouble heading to San Antonio for game 5. Not only are they down 3-1 but they looked so bad on their home floor it is hard to imagine that they are going to be able to beat the Spurs three games in a row to claim a third straight championship.
This is the 4th time that Algeria has qualified for the World Cup. It should come as no surprise that the results have not been great.
New York just swept Seattle. Further proof that this is going to be one of the most interesting season in a while for the Yankees.
Argentina is one of the favourites. They are one of the most talented teams in world with maybe the best player in the world in Lionel Messi.
Korea has been one of the most successful Asian teams having participated in the last 8 World Cups. In 2002 they co hosted with Japan though it was still a surprise that they stormed their way to a 4th place finish.
After enjoying a lot of international success in the 1980’s and 1990’s – a golden generation – Belgium has missed the last few World Cups. Their best finish was in 1986 at Mexico – 4th. It was the only time they made it past the round of 16.
There was definitely no hangover for the Spurs as they had one of the best first halfs in NBA playoff history in game three. They have a little back in the third but a strong 4th quarter essentially maintained that lead.
