i’d encourage every sports fan to develop at least one very strange opinion that has like a 2% chance of being correct. mine is that allen iverson could have been a top-10 nfl quarterback because of how good he was in high school. i’ve gotten years of fun out of that one

The only person with a better xwOBA against RHPs than Moncada since June 1st is Mike Trout.
That seems important.
MLB TARGETS: Returning off the IL with a home run, Yoan Moncada has a great chance at exceeding salary-based expectations tonight.

Hot Take: I think the Raptors have earned not giving a shit about the play-in tournament.
If you're franchise gets to a place where it doesn't need a one-game posterity boost, celebrate it.
