The 151st Preakness Stakes is this Saturday, May 16, at Laurel Park in Maryland, marking the first time the race has been held outside of Pimlico since 1908. Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo is skipping the second jewel of the Triple Crown, which opens this one wide up. New shooter Iron Honor comes in as the morning line favorite at 9-2, trained by Chad Brown. Let's get into the full odds breakdown.
Swain finished well at the rim (64.3 percent) with 83 percent of those looks being self-created. His mid-range touch was also awesome at 47.6 percent on non-rim twos with 95 percent of them coming without an assist. His three-point shot remains a work in progress, but he's made huge strides to go from 11 makes combined as a freshman and sophomore, to 32 made three-pointers this year at a 34.8 percent clip. If you want positional size and athleticism with two-way adaptability on the wing, Swain is your guy.
All this to say: the exasperation the Flyers have felt with Michkov this season - going all the way back to him showing up to training camp out of shape - is not something exclusive to them.

For the first time since 2018 - and the last time before potentially major draft lottery reforms - the team with the league's worst record actually lucked into the No. 1 pick. After a tanktastic season marked by being on the wrong end of an 83-point Bam Adebayo performance and trades for ex-All-Stars Anthony Davis and Trae Young, the Washington Wizards stumbled to a league-low 17-65 finish. Now, the Wizards find themselves rewarded with the No. 1 pick for the first time since 2010, when they drafted eventual five-time All-Star point guard John Wall.
Edward Cabrera's performance had been somewhat troubling for a while, with underlying data indicating his stretch of five straight games with three earned runs allowed in each was actually much better than it should have been. A few days prior to his Saturday start against the Rangers, Nate Roper expressed concern about the dip in fastball velocity and the worsening shapes of his breaking balls. The curveball, which makes up 20% of Cabrera's repertoire, had looked particularly bad.
