Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the value on the Yankees to win the AL East:
'This series will be a defining one in the AL East race that has seen the Toronto Blue Jays take ahold of. Toronto is up in the series season and swept New York earlier in the season, so it's an ideal time for the Yankees to strike back.
The odds are down to plus-money on the Yankees to win the division, which could be back to -150 with a series win over the Blue Jays.'

National Bank Open's longer format is bad news for tennis fans, players: experts
Toronto tennis fans were served up disappointment after the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and other top players dropped out of the National Bank Open this year — a trend experts say could repeat if the tournament structure doesn't change. The National Bank Open (NBO) expanded from one week to 12-days of competition, with the men facing off in Toronto and the women in Montreal from July 26 to Aug. 7. This year the tournament comes two weeks after Wimbledon and is immediately followed by the Cincinnati Open and the U.S. Open a week after that. The change limits the amount of rest time for top players, said Gill Gross, tennis commentator with Monday Match Analysis. "Tennis is played 11 months out of the year. So, it is a grind for these players as is, but the expansion of the Masters 1000 to two-week events has actually made it worse," he said. "They're spending more days out of the year at tournaments, living in hotels, out of suitcases, living with the anxiety that they feel just in that tournament mode, instead of being at home." Gross and a former professional Canadian tennis player both say the NBO will continue to see withdrawals from tennis stars in the future if the elongated Masters 1000 schedule isn't changed. While NBO Toronto tournament director Karl Hale says he's excited for the new format, he says they will discuss possible changes with the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). "We're going to have talks with the tours about how we can mitigate against this, so we have some really good ideas," Hale said. "I just think the 12 days is bigger, better for the tournament, for the fans, more broadcasts … more kids watching and participating in tennis. So I think it's better for tennis in Canada." Hale says Wimbledon's earlier schedule means players will have a longer break period ahead of the NBO next year. World No. 1 Sinner, No. 2 Alcaraz, 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic and world No. 5 Jack Draper pulled out of the ATP Masters-level hardcourt event earlier this week, citing injuries. WATCH | Canadian tennis player Vasek Pospisil will retire following the 2025 NBO: Could fewer stars benefit Canadian players? Gross says the NBO's expansion from one to two weeks of competitions initially seemed like a good idea, with more games for fans and more money for tournaments. "The rationale originally was you stretch out the premium product … that is your money-making product," he said, adding days off between matches initially seemed to address the needed rest time for players. Instead, former tennis player Bobby Mahal says players prefer weeks of rest ahead of the Masters and the U.S. Open. "That rest period is so crucial because you have got to remember that Sinner and Alcaraz played in the French Open, then they go all the way to the Wimbledon final," he said. However, Mahal says the changing lineup is good news for Canadian players and fans. "We can now watch the event and cheer on the Canadians. I think we have got two Canadians in the top 30 now with legitimate chances for deep runs in Felix (Auger-Aliassime) and Denis (Shapovalov)," he said. 'These kids have trained in Canada their whole life … so that hometown crowd plus the hometown conditions is a huge factor that can help them." WATCH | Canadian players Felix Auger-Aliassime and Bianca Andreescu win big ahead of the NBO: Auger-Aliassime is ranked 27 and Shapovalov is 28 in the world, according to the ATP's website. Hale says he's also hoping for a Canadian victory, similar to Bianca Andreescu's win at the NBO in 2019. "The tour is really tough and injuries are part of the tour and it benefits the Canadians. So we're looking forward to the Canadians coming of age this year," he said.

Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson begin competition to be Colts starting QB
WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson insists he's healthy. Daniel Jones embraces the chance to compete for a starting job. And coach Shane Steichen has a broad outline of how he intends to split the snaps over the next several weeks, with no timetable to make a decision, as the competition began in earnest at Indy's first training camp practice Wednesday. 'We'll have a maintenance plan for him (Richardson). We want him to get all the team reps, so you might not see him throw some individual reps every single day,' Steichen said. 'And just with the way the (team) reps are going to play out, those guys are going to get the same amount of reps, just like today. We'll flip both to get reps with the ones every day.' It's the second time in Steichen's three years with the Colts he's presided over a quarterback competition. The first ended after one preseason game in 2023 with Steichen selecting Richardson, then a rookie, the starter over Gardner Minshew. Perhaps that should have been expected given Richardson was selected as the No. 4 overall pick in that year's draft and the Colts still searching for a long-term replacement following Andrew Luck's surprise retirement in August 2019. This time, the plan seems different. In addition to splitting snaps with the starters at practice in Westfield, Indiana, a northwestern suburb of Indianapolis, general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday he wants to see both quarterbacks in action against other teams. It remains to be seen if the scheduled joint practices against Baltimore and Green Bay can provide enough information to produce a decision or whether Richardson and Jones may play in the less controlled environment of preseason games. If first impressions suggest anything, there wasn't much difference on the field. Each struggled against Indy's defense, which knocked away multiple passes thrown by both in 11-on-11 drills. Jones also threw an interception on what he described as a 'bad decision' before throwing a pretty completion on a long ball to Anthony Gould near the end of practice. 'I think like any Day 1, there was some good, some bad,' Jones said. 'There are always things to clean up. We'll look back at the tape and then improve on it, but I thought for Day 1, we did a lot of things that you look for on Day 1.' Jones has been around long enough to understand expectations. The New York Giants made him the No. 6 overall draft pick in 2019. He became the starter in Week 3 of his rookie season and after struggling for three years, he led the Giants to the playoffs in 2022. New York rewarded Jones with a four-year, $160 million contract, but Jones made only six starts in 2023 and threw eight TD passes and seven interceptions last season before he was released by New York and signed by Minnesota. Now he's back, looking to start again. "There's so much work to do, especially for me — learning the system, getting to know the guys, learning communication with the coaches,' Jones said. "It's a long process. There's a lot of work ahead of us, but kind of the way you go about it is focusing on that day, that practice, that meeting or whatever at the moment.' Richardson's injury history, meanwhile, has limited him to just 15 starts over the past two seasons, and he missed the team's final minicamp practice because of a sore throwing shoulder. He also acknowledged he did not throw to his teammates when they worked out in California this summer. 'I had surgery a year and a half ago, so I've been dealing with on and off soreness with that,' Richardson said, noting he thought it was just a normal part of the recovery process. 'But it was something else, and I wouldn't necessarily worry about it. I was just trying to do what I could do to help the team.' Richardson also has struggled with accuracy, completing just 50.6% of his throws, including 47.7% last season when he had the lowest completion rate of any regular starter in the league. On Wednesday, though, Richardson pronounced himself healthy and ready to win yet another quarterback competition. 'Everybody wants success like right here, right now,' he said. "There were definitely things I could have worked on last year, so I'm trying to improve on that and make sure I'm just available for the team whenever they need me.' ___ AP NFL:
