Rays or Rangers: Who should the Orioles prefer to face in the ALDS?

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:03:30 GMT

According to one metric, the two best teams in the American League are playing in the wild-card round this week. The winner will play the Orioles in the best-of-five American League Division Series beginning Saturday.While Tampa Bay and Texas ended the regular season with records worse than the Orioles’ mark of 101-61, the Rays (99-63) and Rangers (90-72) sport run differentials much better than Baltimore’s.The Orioles are tied with the Houston Astros for the circuit’s third-best run differential at plus-129, while the Rangers rank second at plus-165 behind the Rays’ plus-195. Those totals produce Pythagorean records, an estimate based solely on run differential, of 94-68 for Baltimore, 96-66 for Texas and 100-62 for Tampa Bay.Of course, run differentials and a formula named after a Greek mathematician don’t decide ballgames. The Orioles went 8-5 against the Rays this season, failing to lose a series to their AL East foe, and 3-3 versus the Rangers...

Patriots-Cowboys film review: Bill Belichick’s fingerprints all over latest blowout loss

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:03:30 GMT

You can say this much for the most lopsided Patriots loss of the Bill Belichick era, a regular-season calamity.At least it was sobering.Sunday’s 38-3 thumping at Dallas delivered a stinging clarity for the Patriots. It spoke directly to the reality of their coaching, quarterback play and roster construction.Turns out, Mac Jones is largely the same passer he’s always been. He remains a pocket-bound point guard with mediocre arm strength, plus accuracy and a sweet tooth for dumbfounding decisions. Jones made three costly decisions Sunday, two of which led to Dallas touchdowns.The Patriots know Jones is a quarterback who cannot elevate an offense by himself but can thrive when comfortable. He was harassed and hurried Sunday. They lost.Elsewhere, the Pats’ lost their only Pro Bowl-caliber defender to injury, their weapons backfired and their suspect offensive line depth was exposed — again. More than a third of the Patriots’ rushes were stopped at or behind the l...

Federal judges to hear input on proposed new congressional lines in Alabama

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:03:30 GMT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A three-judge panel was preparing to approve new congressional districts for Alabama after ruling that state lawmakers flouted their finding the state should have a second district where Black voters are the majority of the electorate or close to it.The court will hear input Tuesday on three plans proposed by a court-appointed special master as it prepares to select a plan for use in the 2024 congressional elections. The three-judge panel is overseeing the drawing of new lines after ruling Alabama — which is 27% Black — should have more than one district with a substantial percentage of Black voters.The three proposals under consideration all create a second district where Black voters comprise a majority of the voting age population or close to it — something state lawmakers did not do when they drew lines this summer.
