As the Chicago Cubs celebrated the 100th birthday of Wrigley Field on Wednesday, Cubs fans around the country will rejoice in the fact that they have...well, something to rejoice.

Although the team hasn't won a World Series since they began playing at Wrigley Field in 1916, fans of the team are optimistic that a championship may very well be on its way to Chicago's North Side in the near future.

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia is 8-0 with a 1.36 ERA in his last nine outings against the Seattle Mariners, which is important to consider when making your MLB picks on Tuesday when the two teams face off at Yankee Stadium.

Sports bettors will find that the Yankees are minus-175 home favorites in the pro baseball odds, with the betting total sitting at eight in the market.

Baseball is a very tough sport to predict on a long-term basis, as so much can change in a year. Injuries, unexpected steps forward and backward by established players and the yearly influx of rookies leave the MLB landscape looking significantly different on a year-in and year-out basis.

We sit only a month into MLB's 2014 regular season, and the trade market has already heated up with a number of deals consummated between clubs, the latest of which found Lucas Harrell shipped from Houston to Arizona in exchange for either cash or a player to be named later, per Matt Snyder of CBSSports.com.

The Boston Red Sox enter Tuesday with a 12-14 record and a -15 run differential, tied for second worst in the American League. It’s a far cry from where the defending World Series champions expected to be at the end of April.

What can the Red Sox do to get back in first place instead of battling to stay out of the cellar?

The Cleveland Indians made a few minor moves this offseason, but nothing that would be considered scale-tipping.

Now that the first month of the major league baseball season is in the books, it's time to take a look at some early report cards for the New York Mets' acquisitions made during the offseason.

Let's take a look:

Bartolo Colon (Starting Pitcher)

Every season features players who take nontraditional, roundabout paths to unexpected success in the major leagues.
