I don’t like being this skeptical. GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. NAS ($28): Oettinger is… Source link

Mohamed Salah,  LIV at RBL (€30): Salah is in good form coming… Source link

Benzinga What Keystone Pipeline Cancellation Means For Crude-by-rail President Joe Biden’s revocation of the March 2019 permit enabling the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline will likely result in more crude-by-rail volumes, according to industry observers.

Japan’s Naomi Osaka is headed to the semifinals of the Australian Open. (AP/Hamish Blair) Naomi Osaka may have survived a scare in her fourth round match in Melbourne, but one wouldn’t have known it on Tuesday.
