Shane’s Free Pick

Sanchez at times hasn’t gotten a ton of run support, but the Phillies have won the last two starts by him. The Nationals offense is averaging only 4.4 runs per game and they are going to really struggle to get Sanchez here. The Phillies are going to give him some run support also, and this is going to be an easy victory for the Phillies. Back the Phillies on the run line.

Plague pits containing the remains of at least 1,000 victims have been unearthed in southern Germany. The pits could together form the largest mass grave ever discovered in Europe, archaeologists say. The excavations, which were carried out ahead of construction work in the city of Nuremberg, revealed eight pits each crammed with hundreds of skeletons belonging to adults, children and babies that date to between the late 15th and early 17th centuries.

Radiocarbon dating revealed the pottery coincides with plague outbreaks that occurred between 1622 and 1634, while the coins date to around 1619, according to a statement released by the archaeological excavation company In Terra Veritas. "A discovery like that has never happened before and quite honestly, no one had thought this to be possible," Melanie Langbein, of Nuremberg's department for heritage co...
