Getty Images The full schedule for the 2023 Major League Baseball season has been released. We already had a decent idea of the general outline, but it's always nice to get the details. Before even diving into the specifics on a team level, the biggest thing to discuss is the change in the shape of the schedule, so to speak. Instead of a schedule incredibly heavy on divisional matchups, it'll be much more balanced now. Check it out: Teams had been playing 76 in-division games. That total is now down to 52 (13 games and four series against each foe). Non-divisional intraleague games (for example, NL East vs. NL Central) is now a tidy 64 (32 home and 32 away) instead of 66. Each team will have seven games against four chosen opponents and six games against the other six teams fitting this criteria. Interleague play gets the massive increase. There used to be 20 of these games and now each team has 46. This includes a home-and-home series between "natural rivals" and then … [Read more...] about MLB releases 2023 regular-season schedule, including Opening Day times, London, Mexico City series

AUSTRALIA TOUR OF INDIA, 2023 by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on Share Tweet Usman Khawaja recently won Cricket Australia's Test player of the year. © Getty Usman Khawaja was not among the two sets of Australian players and staff that reached India by Tuesday night ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Test series. The left-handed opener's travel plans had to be rescheduled after a delay in obtaining the visa.

USATSI Tom Hoge will try to continue his roll this week as the PGA Tour heads to California's Monterey Peninsula for the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Hoge surged past Jordan Spieth on the final three holes last year to win by two strokes. It was his first – and only – PGA Tour title. The 33-year-old was also in the final group in 2021 but faded to a tie for 12th. Spieth headlines the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2023 field, and he won this event in 2017 and has three straight top-10 finishes, which means he'll likely be ranked near the top of the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am fantasy golf rankings. The tournament is played over three courses – Monterey Peninsula, Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach – and celebrities playing alongside can make for long but entertaining rounds. Spieth is the 9-1 favorite in Caesars Sportsbook's latest 2023 Pebble Beach Pro-Am odds, with Matt Fitzpatrick (10-1) and Viktor Hovland (10-1) right on his heels. Maverick McNealy (16-1), Hoge (17-1) … [Read more...] about 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am fantasy golf rankings, picks, sleepers: Back Viktor Hovland, fade Jordan Spieth

NASCAR’s preseason non-points race, now known as the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, was born in 1979 with the idea of testing the sport’s fastest drivers and cars on one of racing’s fastest tracks — Daytona International Speedway. The concept was driver vs. driver and car vs. car. No pit stops. Twenty laps (50 miles) on the Daytona oval, with speed and drafting skills the only factors in victory. Originally, the field was made up of pole winners from the previous Cup season. In theory, this put the “fastest” drivers in the Clash field, and it also served as incentive for teams to approach qualifying with a bit more intensity. A spot in the Clash the next season meant extra dollars in the bank. The race has evolved in crazy directions over the years, and no more so than last year when it was moved from its forever headquarters, the Daytona track, to a purpose-built short track inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
