2025 Baycurrent Classic odds: Xander Schauffele betting favorite

The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall Series rolls on this week as the Tour heads to Japan for the 2025 Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club, where two-time major champion Xander Schauffele is the outright betting favorite. Here’s everything you need to know about the Baycurrent Classic odds and other betting favorites to start the week.

Baycurrent Classic betting favorites

After taking a week off following their Ryder Cup loss at Bethpage Black, two members of Team USA will tee it up this week in Japan: Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa.

Despite a down season, Schauffele enters the week as the betting favorite at +1000 odds-to-win. Schauffele started to rediscover his form late in the summer. He carded back-to-back top-10 finishes at the Genesis Scottish Open and Open Championship. But he followed that up with mediocre showings in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where he went T22-T28 while failing to make the Tour Championship.

Morikawa comes in second on the odds board at +1600 odds-to-win. He’s followed by Hideki Matsuyamaat +1800 odds-to-win.

Highlights from the final round of the Sanderson Farms

2025 Genesis Scottish Open champion Chris Gotterup is next at +2200 odds-to-win, along with European Ryder Cup vice captain Alex Noren and Kurt Kitayama.

76ers’ Jared McCain addresses viral bench press in classic jersey reveal

When the Philadelphia 76ers revealed their latest classic uniforms on Wednesday, one NBA fan was focused on another aspect of the unveiling — Jared McCain’s bench press capabilities.

The 76ers guard posed in the Allen Iverson-era uniform while sitting on a bench. The notable detail? The bar was loaded with 2.5-pound plates. It prompted a question from a user on X: “why is jared mccain bench pressing 2.5lb plates?”

The post quickly went viral with McCain addressing the comments on his Instagram story on Wednesday. First, he wrote “Working on it” with two sad emojis, before posting a video of him curling an 8-pound dumbbell.

McCain — who boasts 4.4 million followers on TikTok — is known for his lighthearted posts on social media. Last year, he posted a video in the 76ers locker room with teammate Kyle Lowry that eclipsed seven million views.

The 21-year-old is coming off a rookie campaign where he averaged 15.3 points, 2.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 23 games, which earned him a spot in the Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star weekend.

His season came to a premature end due to a lateral meniscus tear on his left knee that required surgery in December. The 76ers ruled him out for the season a month later.

Braves host annual 44 Classic at Truist Park

ATLANTA — The Braves arenâ€t strangers to hosting youth baseball players at Truist Park.

The 44 Classic, in honor of Hank Aaron, serves to spotlight diverse high school baseball talent across the Southeastern United States.

For the first time since its inception in 2019, there were two divisions — 30 high school freshmen and sophomores and 44 juniors and seniors. In years prior, the event featured just juniors and seniors but this yearâ€s event included the freshman and sophomore junior division.

The student-athletes participated in the two-day event that featured a pro-style workout on Saturday and two games on Sunday, both of which took place at Truist Park. There was a Junior Division game (consisting of freshmen and sophomores) followed by a Senior Division game (juniors and seniors).

Braves senior director of alumni relations and growing the game Greg McMichael — who was a relief pitcher for Atlanta from 1993 to 1996 and helped the Braves to their 1995 World Series championship — has been a vital contributor to these special events in recent years.

“Itâ€s been really exciting to see some of these kids,†McMichael said. “This year weâ€ve done it a little bit differently. We brought in the Junior [Division]. They consist mainly of our best RBI [Nikeâ€s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities Program] kids. Theyâ€re the younger kids, freshmen and sophomores. Our scouting group recommended a few players from around the [Southeast]. So we have probably the best talent weâ€ve had since we started this thing. From what Iâ€m hearing there are about six potential Draft picks that [are here].â€

Though he is not a Draft pick as of now, Parkview standout outfielder Malachi Washington is an LSU commit who has played in the 44 Classic the past two years.

“Itâ€s a lot bigger,†Washington said about playing at Truist Park. “Itâ€s huge. [Thereâ€s] a lot more grass to cover. It feels like [being a] pro almost. It feels like being in the big leagues. When you stand in right field you feel like Ronald Acuña. In center field you feel like Michael Harris. Itâ€s really cool seeing the backdrop knowing youâ€re on an MLB field. Itâ€s amazing.â€

There were multiple MLB alumni coaches involved in the 44 Classic. Gerald Perry, Terry Harper and Jerome Walton were on-site coaching in partnership with the Marquis Grissom Baseball Association. Washington and his teammates were given the opportunity to learn from former MLB players.

“Getting experience from veteran guys who have played in the league and who know so much about the game, you can always learn more,†Washington said. “Itâ€s great to get out here and just learn, every day, something new about baseball.â€

The Metro Atlanta area was well-represented throughout the event and Washington was one of five Parkview players who participated this weekend.

“[There are] a lot of guys from my high school,†Washington said. “Joseph Mendez, CJ Woolcock. Ellis Appling, Emani Ford, all those guys go to my high school. Santos Wade [who is home schooled], just a bunch of great guys and a bunch of good names. It just makes us closer. Itâ€s sick, all of us getting invited to such a prestigious and awesome event. It means a lot.â€

Current Braves first baseman Matt Olson and former outfielder Jeff Francoeur are Parkview graduates.

“It means the world, having Matt Olson being talked about every day at our high school [and] Jeff Francoeur, names like that,†Washington said. “Itâ€s really surreal getting to play on the same field they get to play on and hit home runs on. I was fortunate enough to be here for the whole [2025] All-Star Weekend. I got invited to the [MLB High School] Home Run Derby. I have played here a couple of times.â€

“It started with Hank,†McMichael said. “Weâ€re trying to continue his dream of seeing a lot of opportunity and access for kids who are in Atlanta and the Southeast who are able to play this game at a high level. Itâ€s not just about playing the game, itâ€s about being in the game. Thereâ€s plenty of opportunities to be in the game of baseball. There are multiple who have come through The RBI program who are now working for us. Weâ€re really excited about that.â€
