WWW.FOXSPORTS.COM2026 MLB Odds: Bettors Backing Brewers To Win World Series, 'Miz' For Cy YoungThe Milwaukee Brewers have the second-best record in baseball and now their odds are on the rise. At BetMGM, Milwaukee's odds to win the NL opened at +1200. Last week, that line was +500. Now, as we prepare to turn the calendar to August, the Brewers' odds to win their side of the MLB have shortened to +450. Before the All-Star break, the club went on a skid, losing four of five games, which included a three-game losing streak. But immediately after the break, they got back on track. They opened up the second half of the season by winning four straight, and on July 26, they got a decisive 11-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. With that, bettors are taking note. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. At BetMGM, Milwaukee is the most-bet team (money) to win the World Series since the All-Star break, taking 18.6% of cash in that market. The Brewers are also the fourth-best team on the moneyline this season. Also worth mentioning is that the Brewers have on their squad the heavy favorite in the NL Cy Young race Jacob Misiorowski. At some books, he is as short as -360 to win the award and at BetMGM, he has a 17.9% handle. "The Miz," by the way, opened up at +5000 to earn Cy Young honors. So should bettors be buying into the Brewers' hype? According to FOX Sports MLB writer Rowan Kavner, the moves the ballclub decides to make at the August 3 trade deadline will set the tone for their success in the postseason. "How much will last years sweep in the NLCS motivate them at the deadline," Kavner asked. "The Brewers have proven their might as regular-season juggernauts, but the disparity in star talent was evident when they went to Los Angeles last October. "They have the talent on the farm to take a big swing. Will they finally do it?"0 Comments 0 Shares 49 Views 0 Reviews -

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMSeahawks Reacts Survey: Another QB3 year for Jalen Milroe?RENTON, WASHINGTON - JULY 25: Jalen Milroe #6 of the Seattle Seahawks reacts during practice at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on July 25, 2026 in Renton, Washington. (Photo by Jack Compton/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesWelcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.The Seattle Seahawks dont have a starting quarterback debate right now. What a relief to finally say that after enduring Geno Smith vs. Drew Lock and Can Sam Howell be the guy? in those first three post-Russell Wilson seasons. This is Sam Darnolds team until further notice. But this weeks Seahawks Reacts survey question and poll is all about second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe, whose rookie season intrigue fizzled out by Week 5 after an ill-fated option play led to a turnover. The former Alabama star was restricted to third-team offense throughout training camp and preseason, slotting in as the third-string quarterback behind Darnold and Drew Lock. Sam Darnolds continued success lessens the quarterback worries for now, but its still fair to wonder how Milroes development will come along. Is he somehow going to make enough strides to be QB2 over veteran Drew Lock and his expiring contract? Or will he once again be QB3 and subject to some healthy scratches? Could he be QB3 but still feature in the offense more often? Worst case scenario (for him): Is his Seahawks tenure already in jeopardy?Vote in the poll below! What lies ahead for Milroe entering Week 1? Note that starting QB is not an option because we live in the real world and it would take extraordinary circumstances for him to earn the starting spot this year.Check back at the end of the week for the full results!Join the conversation!Sign up for a user account and get:Fewer adsCreate community postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community postsNew, improved notifications system!0 Comments 0 Shares 48 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMVery disappointing: Caroline Dubois hasnt managed to land unification fightLONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 28: Caroline Dubois of Great Britain faces the media during a UK vs USA Boxing Press Conference at Glaziers Hall on July 28, 2026 in London, England. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesCaroline Dubois spends some time talking about her disappointment in not being able to secure a title unification fight just yet as she aims to go undisputed, and keeping busy in the meanwhile rather than sitting around and waiting for the big fights to come her way. Dubois would also call out some rivals who she believes to be ducking the smoke. Dubois on why shes not unifying titles in her next fightIts very disappointing. The goal was to fight either Elif Turhan or Stephanie Han. Unfortunately the Elif Turhan fight fell apart and unfortunately the Stephanie Han fight is something that has to wait, she just fought recently. So, shes resting or recovering and hopefully we can get that fight end of the year, thats the plan. Im disappointed with Elif. We sent her an offer, she turned it down and, yeah, at the end of the day you cant force someone into the ring.On leaving trainer Shane McGuiganTheres a few reasons, Im not going to go into them. At the end of the day, all I can say is the facts. Im so happy with what weve achieved, Im so happy for where Im at, and Im so excited for the future. And I know another fact is I want to be betterI want to dominate. You have to train to dominate. You have to train, you have to push yourself and I think the definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect a different result. So if you want something youve never had, you have to do something youve never done.Working with Manny Robles now, Ive been with him for three weeks now and its been really good, really positive, great sparring, the work is goodIm just happy to be in an exciting, booming gym.On Alycia Baumgardner not attending the festivitiesI think shes a coward. At the end of the day I think she knew I was going to be here, she knew that Mikaela Mayer was going to be here she probably just thought nah, I dont want it. She doesnt want it and I think its a lame move. You come all the way out to the UK and you dont turn up? You dont want to be in the mix of some big fights? You got a table full of opponents that could possibly be in [with], youre not about it?! I think its real disappointing and it shows her character.0 Comments 0 Shares 52 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMWhy Nashville AP sports writer Teresa Walker is retiring after nearly 40 yearsLongtime Associated Press sports writer Teresa Walker showed up for her 30th Tennessee Titans training camp on July 28 and announced on social media it would be her last.Walker said she would retire in early 2027 after nearly 40 years as a journalist in Tennessee. She started working for the AP in 1989 from its Nashville office."I think I'm ready to rest a bit," Walker told The Tennessean. "I want to enjoy some life; I mean we love what we do, but there's a lot of stuff we don't do because we're busy doing what we do. I'm ready for some of that."TITANS FOUNDATION IS IN PLACE: So the Titans have the foundation of their roster in place. Now what?After graduating from the University of Tennessee, Walker worked for the Maryville Daily Times in her hometown for two and a half years before she was hired by the AP."This is my first life change in 37 years," Walker said. "I walked through the doors at 1200 Broadway to go to the AP office in December of '89, and I've been writing sports for AP ever since."Walker will cover the 2026 Titans' season before she retires.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMAfter months of doubt, Daniel Jones fullspeed return energizes Colts ahead of 2026 seasonWESTFIELD As he marveled at the zip on the ball and the fluidity with which his starting quarterback moved during recent private workouts in Florida, Colts receiver Josh Downs says he had to remind himself that Daniel Jones was ever injured.Thats how good he looked out there. Im excited to see him out there, full-go and getting after it, Downs said Tuesday.Wednesday marks a monumental day for the 29-year-old quarterback, who a year ago entered camp on a one-year, $14 million prove-it deal that only promised him the chance to compete with 2023 fourth overall pick Anthony Richardson Sr. for the Colts starting role, and no more.In Indianapolis, Jones matched wits with head coach Shane Steichen and found himself holding the car keys to what in September and October was the leagues most electric offense, and seemed a shoo-in to compete for the AFCs top seed and threaten for a deep playoff push.Not yet even eight months ago, Jones collapsed onto the turf in Indianapolis house of horrors in Jacksonville. A resurgent campaign that had sparked MVP conversations had been first hampered by a fractured fibula and then ended with the snap of his right Achilles tendon Dec. 7. But Wednesday, Jones returned to the field without restrictions. What once was a very real question -- whether Jones would be ready for a Week 1 return -- seems a foregone conclusion.The fact that hes back and full-go already, that should tell you what you wanna hear right there, Downs said. The guy's put in the work.Starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann said: That just gets you fired up. As an offensive line and the whole team, were excited to have him out there and leading the offense like he did last year. We all love the guy and love playing with him, spending time with him. Im not surprised (Jones is back). I know him and know the kind of guy he is, and hes proven it over and over again for his team. ... I think it just shows his character and how much he cares.Jones, who was not made available to speak to the media Tuesday, may have been ready to take this step six weeks ago during mandatory veteran mini-camp but was held back due to an abundance of caution. During 7-on-7 drills and routes on air, the Colts starters footwork was choppy at times, but the naked eye showed no zip lost on his throws. Multiple times in front of the media, he closed practice with his own set of sprint drills long after his teammates had retreated to the locker room until his brow was drenched in sweat.Colts general manager Chris Ballard chuckled when he referenced just how many eyes within the franchise not to mention those of the media, fans and the NFL community at-large will be locked in on Jones every move during camp, but Indianapolis has no plans to put its starting quarterback through any sort or snap count or pre-schedule an abnormal number of off-days as Jones readies himself to return to the field for Week 1 against the Ravens nine months and six days since he tore his Achilles.Ive watched him work, and he looks really good. Hes not going to tell you hes 100% yet, but hes working toward that and getting close, Ballard said. But hes cleared, and he looks really good when I watched him throw a few weeks ago.Any time you go through surgery, theres always going to be a little bit of a new normal for any player. It doesnt mean theyre not great again just that theres a new normal, and youve got to work through that.If anything, Ballard added, there may be less anxiousness for both sides this summer.Hes just so consistent in who he is, and I think theres more of a comfort level with him, the organization and his teammates and his coaches of whats expected of him. With Daniel, you get the same guy every day, and his care factor is extremely high.Theres probably a little more anxiousness a year ago because of the unknown. You didnt know if he was going to be the starter or not. But when you know youre the guy, theres a little different level of comfort but his work hasnt changed since the day he stepped in here.What lingers, though, is the question mark that may shadow the rest of Jones career. He's a former sixth-overall pick who has started every meaningful regular season game in a season just once in seven seasons leading to his midseason separation with the Giants in 2024 less than two seasons into a lucrative extension that followed his playoff appearance in 2022.Ballard, too, knows theres no escaping it. In Jones, though, the Colts GM sees a kindred spirit to Alex Smith, the former 49ers, Chiefs and Commanders quarterback who Ballard watched blossom in Kansas City after an injury-ravaged start to his career in San Francisco. In his five years with the Chiefs that ended as the Patrick Mahomes era began, Smith made at least 15 regular season starts each year for a team that three times reached 11 wins.Ultimately, Jones value to the Indianapolis front office, the franchise and fan base doesnt come in flashy 10-game bursts but prolonged stints of success and clean bills of health a reality Ballard knows all too well from his decade of cursed quarterback play in Indianapolis.Jones body of work 82 starts in seven seasons suggests the Duke standout is good for somewhere around 12 starts (hes reached at least 10 in six of his seven seasons). Indianapolis playoff prospects in all likelihood hinge on Jones breaking that trend among other factors but after 16 months of getting a front-row seat to a next-level workaholic, how could you not expect that, Ballard argues.I remember talking to (retired Colts quarterback) Andrew (Luck) a long time about it, and when we talk about staying healthy, your value to the team is being out there and playing, and if youre not, that hurts the team, Ballard said. And look, a little bit of last year for Daniel is a freak deal with the Achilles and then the bone injury against Atlanta, when he kept playing and I dont think he even noticed it.But hes thought about that, and weve talked about that. You get your body prepared for what its going to have to endure over this long season, and you do the best you can to protect yourself, and weve got to do the best we can to protect him, and then you let the chips fall where they may.Joel A.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMFantasy Football Video: Will Jalen Coker be a surprise breakout at wide receiver in 2026?One name in fantasy football that isn't being talked about much is Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker. That's mainly because of the team surrounding Coker, but might Carolina be an offense on the rise? The Panthers have a decent young group headlined by QB Bryce Young and WR Tetairoa McMillan. As Coker enters Year 3 in the NFL, it may be time for a breakout campaign. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL seasonHere to discuss Coker's outlook for the 2026 season are new Yahoo analysts Josh Norris and Hayden Winks, celebrating their inaugural show for Yahoo Fantasy. The pair were joined by Yahoo Fantasy Forecast host Matt Harmon to get things started. You can look forward to more content all season long from Josh and Hayden, from the lead up to your draft through the regular season and offseason. Check out their YouTube channel here.Harmon thinks Coker is a great receiver and it's just taken him a bit longer to adjust to the NFL game coming from Holy Cross at the collegiate level. Harmon compares Coker's body type to that of Chris Godwin Jr. or Jakobi Meyers. Two receivers we've seen have fantasy football success in the past five years. Coker has only made it to 11 games in each of his two NFL seasons. Health has been an issue but he's made strides to get his body right. Last season, Coker had 33 catches for 394 yards and three scores. While the regular season was uninspiring from a fantasy standpoint, the analysts point out the playoff game vs. the Rams. Coker had a 9-134-1 line on 12 targets against Los Angeles in the Panthers' near upset win. Many managers likely forgot about that game from Coker. Harmon points out that reports suggest that McMillan will see more time in the slot after running routes at a 15% clip there in 2025. Carolina is able to do that given Coker can play outside. As a result, Harmon believes Coker is going to get a lot more targets than people think. Yahoo analyst Justin Boone has Coker ranked as the WR47 in his July update. Coker's early ADP on Yahoo is at 134.1, the wide receiver being selected between the 11th-12th rounds on average.0 Comments 0 Shares 29 Views 0 Reviews
