The Warriors are up 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals and even Cavaliers fans don't believe they have a shot at winning the series. Steph Curry is playing out of his mind, and there's not much else to do but sit back and enjoy the show.

The Astros will be facing the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, and no one thought Seattle would be playing so well, especially with Robinson Cano dealing with a PED suspension. Despite losing 6 of their last 10 games, the Astros are still on pace to win 98 games this season, and should win the AL West once again.

Opening Day is just days away for the Astros, and the biggest storyline leading up to the season has been Cam Smith. Smith put together an impressive spring, but many wondered if that would be enough to make the big league roster. Well, we don't have to wonder anymore.

Manager Joe Espada announced that Smith will start in right field against the Mets on Opening Day. And it gets even better, the Astros captured the moment Smith found out he made the club on video.
