Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to the second half of the MLB's regular season! Tyler Sullivan back here again and, unlike when I filled in on Monday, we finally have some games to sink our teeth into. Before we jump into that, it looks like we have ourselves a series in the NBA Finals after the Bucks were able to knot things up with the Suns on the back of a 40-point effort from Khris Middleton.
Each club has held serve on their respective home court, which may be an indication that this thing is destined to be determined in a Game 7 in Phoenix. The Suns are still the betting favorite to win the title, but if Middleton can keep that level of play that we saw on Wednesday night up, Milwaukee could be sitting pretty alongside bettors in their corner.

As for what's on the docket today, one MLB game, the Gold Cup, along with the Open Championship is hardly the jam-packed action that we enjoyed leading up to the All-Star break, but it's enough to get our fix in. And what better way to get our second half of the baseball season rolling than with a head-to-head showdown between the Red Sox and Yankees, right?
Speaking as a Boston native, one of the things I'm most excited about as it relates to Thursday's AL East showdown is the possible big league debut of promising Red Sox prospect Jarren Duran, who was reportedly just called up from AAA.
With all that out of the way, let's dive into the action!
