The NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals both have the night off Tuesday in a case of bad timing. So the diamond will be the best place to find some action tonight.But we won't forget to check in on the ladies. Caitlin Clark might have the night off but you may have heard there are plenty of other good players in the WNBA. PITTSBURGH PIRATES AT ST. LOUIS CARDINALSPaul Skenes is just getting started and we will all be 20 years older when he finishes his career. In other words, he will be a dominating force on the mound for a long time.Skenes has lived up to his lofty billing through five major league starts, going 3-0 and striking out 38 and walking just six in 27 innings. He has limited opposing batters to a .212 average but has served up four homers.The Pirates are 4-1 when Skenes starts and the club has a different feel when the LSU product is on the mound. Call it an expectation that anything can happen, like when Skenes tossed six no-hit innings and struck out 11 against the Chicago Cubs in his second start.The Cardinals have dropped six of their past 10 games and inconsistent right-hander Miles Mikolas will be trying to match zeros with Skenes. Mikolas beat the Houston Astros in his last turn but has allowed five or more runs four times this season. That 5.32 season ERA is not going to cut it Tuesday night.Pirates money line, -130 (DraftKings) Stake SportsBook Bonus$100,000 Daily RaceSign up now to claimFor help with a gambling problem, call or text the NCPG – (1-800-522-4700) Play nowBet365 SportsBook BonusFirst Bet Safety Net $1000 or Bet $5 & Get $150Sign up now and get the choice of two incredible offers.New Customers Only.

A threesome atop the rotation of Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly and Montgomery certainly sounds like one that can help lead a team to the postseason.But the signing of Montgomery has been a disaster so far. He missed spring training and has displayed that those seven weeks of building up arm strength and increasing pitch counts were something he badly needed. His horrid 6.80 ERA says it even louder.Over his past two starts, Montgomery has allowed 14 runs and 17 hits in just six-plus innings in losses to the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants. So it doesn't sound like a turnaround is about to happen even though he is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in three career starts against the Angels.Los Angeles has won four of its last six games, including a 9-7 win over the Astros on Sunday courtesy of Logan O'Hoppe's walkoff homer. The Angels scored four runs or less in 15 straight games before Sunday's breakout and you have to figure they can at least reach four on Tuesday.Angels +1.5 run line, -135 (DraftKings).

They have dropped three of their past four games and have a lackluster (for their talent) 5-4 record.Las Vegas players and coach Becky Hammon talked about needing to get their act together prior to Sunday night's road against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Aces even backed it up by scoring the first 14 points of the game before eventually trailing by double digits and losing 96-92.A'ja Wilson sure isn't the problem after scoring 31 points to set an NBA record of 14 straight 20-point outings. Minnesota will be looking to figure out how to slow Wilson down while getting red-hot Kayla McBride — 15 3-pointers over the past two games — open for long-range bombs.Minnesota is a solid 8-3 and McBride has scored 25 or more points in three of the past four games. Napheesa Collier also is excelling. But that 80-66 home loss to the Aces in late May makes it hard to see the Lynx leaving the court victorious in Vegas.Aces -6 spread, -112 (DraftKings).

Barcelona have completed the signing of Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero on a free transfer.
The 32-year-old striker underwent medical tests in Spain on Monday, just two days after his last match for City ended in a 1-0 Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.
The Argentina international, who will link up with friend and international team-mate Lionel Messi at Camp Nou, has signed a two-year contract that contains a €100million buy-out clause.
He will join on July 1 after his City contract expires.

Brisbane Roar confirmed their place in the A-League Finals thanks to a 2-1 win over Perth Glory, whose own top-six hopes were ended on Wednesday.
Glory required a win to remain in contention for a spot in the Finals, but found themselves trailing early in the second half.
Jonathan AspropotamItis could not get out of the way of a cross and diverted it into his own net as Brisbane edged closer to the Finals.
Riku Danzaki ultimately got the goal that sealed their qualification in brilliant fashion.
He raced on to Alex Parsons pass in behind the defence on the break and, although Daryl Lachman caught up, Danzaki produced a clever turn to leave him in his tracks before slotting into the bottom-left corner with 17 minutes to go.

Massimiliano Allegri might not have selected Paulo Dybala in his starting XI over recent weeks but he believes the Juventus forward can be the leading star in world football along with Neymar when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo leave the stage.
Dybala was named from kick-off for the first time in four Serie A matches against Verona on Saturday and proved to be his side s matchwinner after a late brace – including a stunning solo goal to seal the points – gave the champions a 3-1 victory to close out 2017 a point behind leaders Napoli.
The 24-year-old international has struggled for his best form over the past couple of months and had his commitment questioned by Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved.
Before the Verona match, Allegri claimed comparisons to …
A delighted Frank Lampard hailed his Chelsea players for returning to form following their miserable loss to West Ham with a vastly improved performance in Wednesday s 2-1 win over Aston Villa.
Goals from former Villa loanee Tammy Abraham and Mount proved enough to ensure Chelsea got back to winning ways after successive Premier League defeats, while the hosts should have won by a wider margin after creating a host of chances in the second half as Willian excelled.
Although Chelsea were unable to claim a third goal, their manager was buoyed by an encouraging display more in keeping with their general form this season, after they had struggled badly in Saturday s home defeat to West Ham.
Having seen his side strengthen their hold on fourth place, Lampard said: I t…
Jermain Defoe will remain at Sunderland for at least another three years after signing a contract extension.
Sunderland narrowly escaped relegation from the Premier League in 2015-16, with Defoe s 15 goals proving crucial to their survival.
The 33-year-old striker has been rewarded with an extension to his existing deal that was due to expire in June 2018, meaning he will remain at the Stadium of Light for a further year.
Manager Sam Allardyce said: Jermain is one of the greatest goalscorers in the history of the Premier League and is a player that every manager would want to have in their team.
He proved that beyond doubt last season by scoring 15 league goals, he is in fantastic physical condition and we are very pleased that we have been able t…
Substitute Adrian struck in stoppage time to give Villarreal a 1-0 Europa League semi-final first-leg win over Liverpool at El Madrigal on Thursday.
Adrian, who scored in Atletico Madrid s Champions League semi-final win over Chelsea in 2014, was on hand to potentially deal out further misery to a Premier League side, while Liverpool will need another inspired Anfield night next week.
Liverpool set pulses racing with a remarkable comeback and injury-time triumph over tournament favourites Borussia Dortmund in the previous round – a stark contrast to this largely cagey encounter.
Visiting manager Jurgen Klopp started without a conventional centre forward, leaving Daniel Sturridge as an unused substitute despite Divock Origi s injury absence and Liverpool lacke…
Cristiano Ronaldo had the world at his feet in Moscow on May 21. The Manchester United winger had just helped the Premier League champions win the Champions League and, having scored 42 goals in an incredible season, it appeared that nothing could stop him being crowned as the 2008 World Footballer of the Year.
Fast forward just eleven weeks, though, and the 23-year-old Portugal international is faced with the task of rebuilding his reputation after a close season that has seen him openly defy United by declaring his ambition to move to Real Madrid and foolishly compare himself to a footballing slave.
A disappointing Euro 2008 campaign dented his hopes of cementing his status as the planet s number one footballer and subsequent ankle surgery, that will keep him sidel…
Sampdoria are back in Serie A after defeating Varese over two legs in the final of their promotion play-off.
The Marassi outfit had already drawn first blood in the tie, winning 3-2 thanks to Daniele Gastadello s double and a strike from Nicola Pozzi, cancelling out Emanuel Rivas and Giuseppe De Luca s respective efforts.
Having done the hard work in Genoa already, Sampdoria only needed to avoid defeat in the return leg to confirm their place in next season s Serie A championship, but Pozzi s late goal saw his side go one better and seal a 4-2 aggregate win.
It caps a magnificent turnaround for the club, who despite qualifying for the Champions League play-off round in 2010, saw their fortunes take a dramatic turn for the worst.
The departure of coach Lu…
With clock winding down on a rather busy January transfer market, we already have more than enough to announce the winners despite there’s still plenty of time before the window is officially closed.
English clubs have it until 11pm on Wednesday, 31 January to conclude their transfer dealings and there’s no doubt we will witness a stomping race to the very last minute. The top flights in France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, the Netherlands and Germany also have their respective transfer windows closed on the same day – albeit on different times.
Bundesliga clubs will see their transfer window close at 5pm, but that should not be a worry for Arsenal fans who are waiting for the end of the winter market with a big smile on their face.
And who’d say that would hap…
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has challenged his team-mates to break Europe s established order and challenge for Champions League glory this season.
The runaway Premier League leaders turn their attention back towards Europe s top competition with a trip to Basel on Tuesday.
Kompany has already won every domestic honour available as City s long-serving captain but continental success has proved elusive.
This is the club s seventh Champions League campaign and they have only progressed beyond the last 16 once – losing a semi-final to eventual winners Real Madrid in 2016 – but the dominant nature of their performances under Pep Guardiola this season has many tipping City for glory.
We lacked experience for sure, the 31-year-old centre-back s…
