Leagues Are Struggling to Deal With a Certain Type of Sports Bet
On June 15, in the bottom of the second inning of a game against the Seattle Mariners, Luis Ortiz, a right-handed pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians, threw a first-pitch slider to Randy Arozarena that missed low and away, bouncing in the dirt for ball 1. Less than two weeks later, in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Ortiz threw another first-pitch slider that missed well outside. Neither pitch seemed remarkable at the time. Major league starters routinely miss the strike zone dozens of times a game. Yet these two misses are now being scrutinized online because of their part in an MLB investigation into suspicious betting. In July the league announced it had placed Ortiz on nondisciplinary paid leave because of an unspecified investigation. ESPN reported that gambling integrity monitor IC360 had flagged unusual betting activity on those two pitches. The wagers in question, it said, were so-called in-game propositions, or props, on whether the first pitch of the inning would be a ball. (IC360 declined to comment on ESPN's reporting.) A few weeks later, MLB announced it had also put Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase on leave while it continued its 'sports betting investigation.' (The MLB Players Association agreed to the leaves. The Guardians, who've since cleared out the lockers of both players, released statements that said the team isn't permitted to comment on ongoing investigations.)

Deadly multi-vehicle crash shuts down North Miami Beach street, knocks power nearby
Authorities are investigating a deadly crash that unfolded early Friday in a North Miami Beach neighborhood, leaving behind a trail of wreckage and power outages. The crash happened near the intersection of Northeast 16th Avenue and Northeast 152nd Street, where multiple vehicles appear to be involved. One car, virtually destroyed, showed the brunt of the impact. A tarp covered the body of a victim lying next to one of the mangled vehicles. The person's identity has not been released. CBS News Miami's Morgan Rynor, reporting from the scene, said the crash spans about a block. On one end, a white car with a smashed front end sits at the far side of the block. On the other end, several other vehicles appear tangled together near a group of police cruisers. A tire could also be seen lying on the sidewalk, further indicating the force of the collision. Drone video from above showed the full extent of the wreckage, with at least four vehicles believed to be involved. Florida Power and Light reported about 150 customers are without electricity in the area. It's not yet clear whether the outages are directly connected to the crash. The road remains blocked off as the investigation continued. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' attorney disputes legal team's claims of asking Trump for pardon
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lead attorney has disputed his legal team's claims that they have approached the Trump administration about a potential pardon. The Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty of two counts of prostitution last month, but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges — and has since been repeatedly denied bail. Combs' legal posse confirmed that they had reached out to President Trump's camp about a pardon — even as the commander in chief has signaled he's leaning against letting Combs off the hook. Advertisement 5 Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lead attorney has disputed his legal team's claims that they have approached the Trump administration about a potential pardon. WireImage Just days after the claim, Marc Agnifilo refuted lawyer Nicole Westmoreland's comments, insisting he knows nothing of the pardon request. 'I have nothing to do with a possible pardon,' the legal honcho told CBS Mornings. Advertisement 'I have had conversations with nobody. I have not spoken to the president. I have not spoken to anybody who speaks to the president about Sean Combs. I have not.' What's more, Agnifilo further asserted that he has not discussed a presidential pardon with the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper, except for telling him it was in the news. 5 The Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty of two counts of prostitution last month, but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. REUTERS 'He says, 'Go tell him [Trump] that I need a pardon. Go tell him I deserve a pardon.' That's what he said,' he added. Advertisement Agnifilo's comments directly contradict Westmoreland, who told CNN this week that the team has 'reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon.' President Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty last week that he was on the fence about whether he would consider pardoning the music mogul. 5 Nicole Westmoreland, part of Combs' legal posse, claimed that they had reached out to President Trump's camp about a pardon. CNN 5 However, Marc Agnifilo refuted lawyer Westmoreland's comments, insisting he knows nothing of the pardon request. CBS News Advertisement 'Well, he was essentially, I guess, sort of half innocent,' Trump said of the Diddy case. 'Probably – eh, you know, I was very friendly with him. I got along with him great, and seemed like a nice guy. I didn't know him well, but when I ran for office he was very hostile.' 'It's hard, you know, like, we're human beings, and we don't like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine, and then you run for office, and he made some terrible statements – so, I don't know, it's more difficult,' Trump continued. 'They have talked to me about Sean.' 5 President Trump said last week that he was on the fence about whether he would consider pardoning Combs. Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images When Finnerty asked if Trump was 'more likely a 'no' for Combs,' the president responded, 'I would say so.' Elsewhere, Agnifilo teased the rapper's return to the music scene — revealing that Combs is organizing a comeback concert at Madison Square Garden when he's a free man.
