SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The Athletic has great sports coverage.
It also has a large number of writers based in the Greater Toronto Area. Jays have many good young players but pitching needs to come a long way.
Do watch them though. Especially if you like offensive 9-7 games.

If you have a sub to the Athletic, here's the article being discussed
They're predicting so much more than just the World Series winner

There was a stark difference in offensive efficiency and production between the two ends of the court in last night's NCAA title game.
The team attacking the hoop located television right (Kansas in first half, UNC in second half) shot collectively as follows:
FG: 29%
3 PT: 23%
The team attacking the hoop located television left (UNC in first half, Kansas in second half) shot collectively as follows:
FG: 47%
3PT: 34%

Makes me wonder if this isn't another piece of Bill Self genius in choosing the basket / bench as home team.

From the pre-Final Four coverage I can remember seeing, Self liked the rims, but there was murmuring about the floor, as discussed in the other huddle.

I totally agree with @beaverboard about the pre-final coverage.

The Athletic MLB staff have chosen their favorites to win the World Series this season.
Dodgers: 48.5%
Blue Jays: 39.4%
White Sox: 6.1%
And the chances get even smaller from there. What do you think, Jays fans? I guess I'll pay more attention to them this season when looking for games to watch on MLB.tv
