BOSTON — Friday night, at somewhere around 8:00 p.m. ET, give or take, the 2025 MLB regular season crossed its halfway mark. Through 81 games last season, the Toronto Blue Jays were 38-43 with a minus-36 run differential, sitting dead last in the AL East by 13 games and a dozen back of the third wild-card spot. Toronto’s offence was bottom-five across MLB in runs scored and its pitching staff had a bottom-10 ERA at 4.14. Only one Blue Jay — Daulton Varsho — had an fWAR above 1.7.A year later?

MONTREAL — During her first UFC flyweight championship reign, spanning eight fights from late 2018 through early 2023, Valentina Shevchenko was never once a betting underdog. She was so automatic that she’d often close as a four-figure favourite, meaning you’d need to gamble at least $1,000 — often much more — to win $100. Such was her supremacy over the division.
