Paul Skenes is on the mound for the 14th time in the 2025 season on Sunday as the Pittsburgh Pirates host the Philadelphia Phillies in their series finale. The Phillies have lost four games in a row, slipping to 3.5 games back of the New York Mets in the AL East standings. On Sunday, they’re set as underdogs against Skenes, who held them to just one run in eight innings back on May 18. Can the Pirates ace turn in another dominant performance?

Daily Dinger: Best MLB Home Run Prop Bet Picks Today (Target Francisco Lindor, Adolis Garcia on Sunday)

8 hours ago | si.com | Peter Dewey

Who doesn’t love a home-run bet to close out the weekend? On Sunday, all 30 MLB teams are in action, and I’ve narrowed things down to three sluggers that I love to go deep. Back on June 5, yours truly went a smooth 3-for-3 in home run picks, and now I’m back and looking to continue the momentum for Sunday’s action. New York Mets slugger Francisco Lindor is worth a look on Sunday against the lowly Colorado Rockies, and there is a Toronto Blue Jays starter that is a must fade today as well.

Best Indiana Men’s Basketball Players Of The 2020s So Far: No. 9 Al Durham

10 hours ago | si.com | Todd Golden

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – When you think of Aljami “Al” Durham. you think of effort. He attacked the basket with abandon. He put effort into his defense. If nothing else, he was going to get some floor burns along the way. That effort was often a necessity as the Indiana teams that Durham played for were below average by program standard. Durham played at Indiana from 2017-21, and try though he might, the Hoosiers could not lift themselves to NCAA Tournament status during his time in Bloomington.
Peter’s Points: NBA Best Bets Today (Predictions, Prop Bets for Pacers vs. Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)

10 hours ago | si.com | Peter Dewey

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers shocked the basketball world in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, erasing yet another big deficit to win in the final seconds and take a 1-0 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder opened the NBA Finals as -700 favorites, but they have fallen to -300 favorites ahead of Game 2 in OKC. Oddsmakers have the Thunder favored by 11 in Sunday’s matchup, but can we really trust them to cover the spread against this scrappy Pacers team?

The Michigan State Spartans have begun to build momentum on the recruiting trail, but there is still a lot of work to be done. According to 247sports.com, MSU’s 2026 class ranks 49th in the nation with seven commits. That is a fine start, but many fans want to see a class that falls somewhere between 25th and 30th in Jonathan Smith’s second year in East Lansing. The Spartans have only one composite four-star commitment: quarterback Kayd Coffman.

Quentin Johnston looking to take next step in Chargers tenure

14 hours ago | si.com | Andrew Parsaud

The Los Angeles Chargers believed they found their next WR1 when they drafted Quentin Johnston out of TCU in 2023. Two years later, it's been anything but that. Johnston seriously struggled with drops as a rookie and totaled just 431 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games. He did have a better season in 2024, with 55 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns. However, it much of the same story, as Johnston had seven drops last year and an absurd 7.7 percent drop rate.
