The Sports Grind 3/22/23 Hour 1: Japan Wins the WBC and Ohtani is Named MVP. Things Are Getting Tense in the Congested NBA Western Conference.

The WBC Final last night was storybook as Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani faced each other in the last at-bat of the contest. Japan held on to win 3-2 and Ohtani, collecting the save, won the MVP. As the WBC has paved the way for the start of baseball season, the NBA is coming down the final stretch before the playoffs get started. With little room for error, tonight’s slate of games could have a major impact on the playoff picture, specifically in the Western Conference.    Music provided by Fox Sports 1380 El Paso.
