Welcome back! We made it past the off season. Now, that doesn't guarantee nothing but action, but that's what we're here for, right? Today both the English Premier and French leagues kick off and we can't be more hyped up. You know what that match-day 1 feeling is like, TV looks extra bright, colors vibrant and the beer tastes fantastic. Don't let all these things fool you into betting the house the first game; it;s a marathon. See you at the finish line!
Good luck, this weekend is about to go down!

The rookie's second hit of the game came off Orion Kerkering (5-3) and gave the Astros their fourth straight win.
Brandon Marsh tied the game on a sacrifice fly in the top of the inning to end the Phillies' 26-inning scoreless streak.
The Astros took a 1-0 lead on Yainer Diaz’s RBI single in the second inning. They only managed three more hits off Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez, who struck out 11 with zero walks over six innings. Sanchez has not issued a walk in three straight starts.
Hunter Brown lowered his league best ERA to 1.74 by scattering three singles over seven shutout innings, with nine strikeouts. He did not allow a runner to reach second base.
