This year is an odd one for baseball, with coronavirus-related delays causing the MLB to shorten the season from 162 games to just 60. If baseball seasons are usually marathons, 2020 will be a sprint, and it’s likely that this faster tempo will shape the strategies and performances of the various teams in each division. Early victories will be important for establishing momentum that will hopefully be enough to carry teams through the short season and into the playoffs.

Last season, the Rockies failed to make it to the postseason, while the Athletics were eliminated when they lost the 2019 American League Wild Card Game play-in to the Tampa Bay Rays. Colorado has only made it to the World Series one time in the team’s short history (the Rockies were formed as an expansion team in 1993), making them the clear underdog here. Nonetheless, having won four of their five games so far, the Rockies are off to a very strong start this year and the short 2020 season could have some surprising and unpredictable outcomes in store for players and fans.

If you don’t have a cable TV subscription that includes ESPN and you’re looking for a way to watch the 2020 MLB: Colorado Rockies vs. Oakland Athletics livestream, then you’ll need to sign up for ESPN+ . For $5 per month or $50 per year, you get full access to the Major League Baseball 2020 season along with a ton of other live events, analysis, interviews, exclusive shows, and much more. Looking for a bigger streaming package to help you cut the cord? This high-value bundle offer gets you ESPN+ along with Hulu and Disney+ for just $13 per month.

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.
