How to watch MLB Cubs vs. Cardinals online in the U.S.

Every baseball fan knows that the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals have one of the most storied rivalries in the MLB. Both teams have been around since the 19th century and currently compete as part of the National League’s Central Division. Somewhat ironically, the Cubs and Cardinals have only ever had one MLB playoff matchup despite their intense and ongoing rivalry, a showdown that occurred at the 2015 National League Division Series — a four-game contest that the Cubs handily won 3-1.

Last season, the Cardinals played against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago. This four-game series was one of the most exciting of the year, with the Cardinals sweeping the Cubs 4-0 — the first time they had done so since 1921 — in what is now known as the “Wrigley Field Massacre.” With this, the Cardinals took the division title and knocked the Cubs out of the running for the playoffs. There’s little doubt that the Cubs will be entering this three-game series with the bitter taste of that defeat still in their mouths, and will be eager to settle the score — this time on the Cardinal’s home turf at Busch Stadium.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers live stream: how to watch the NBA online
Joel Embiid walks off the basketball court.

On the final day of the NBA regular season, Eastern Conference rivals will square up as the Brooklyn Nets head south to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. The game starts at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Sunday, April 14. The 76ers will host the game inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

The Nets season ends today after the team failed to qualify for the playoffs. It will be a long offseason in Brooklyn, as the organization needs to decide if it wants to sell off players for draft assets and start a rebuild. Philadelphia, however, will get at least one more week of games in the postseason, whether in the Play-In Tournament or first round. With a healthy Joel Embiid, the 76ers are one of the more dangerous teams in the Eastern Conference.

The 75th F1 World Championship is being aired for free in Austria and Luxembourg. This is great news for those in the countries, but not so great for residents traveling abroad who want to watch the action unfold live in their local language -- especially when it's free to watch at home. It's only fitting that an Austrian currently in the United States would want to watch the race in Austrian and not English, right? This is completely safe (and legal) to do with a VPN.
