SAN DIEGO (AP) — Theo Corbeanu scored in the 20th minute, Sean Johnson stopped the only shot he faced and Toronto FC beat San Diego FC 1-0 on Wednesday night in the first-ever meeting between the clubs.
Corbeanu drew a foul in the penalty area and converted from the spot to give Toronto a 1-0 lead.

San Diego (13-7-3), which had won five six, leads the Western Conference with 42 points, one ahead of Vancouver.

San Diego had 67% possession and outshot Toronto 7-4 but had just one shot on target.

Sports betting roundup: Bettors buying Padres after deadline spree, WNBA title odds are tight
The Major League Baseball trade deadline last week was an exciting event, with numerous teams making moves to bolster their playoff chances. Over the weekend, many players made their debuts with their new teams. There were a number of great games, including some surprises along the way. Since Thursday's trade deadline at the BetMGM online sportsbook , the Padres (+1600) have taken in the most money (23%) to win the World Series. San Diego was the most active buyer in the league, acquiring eight players, while parting ways with 12 others. As of Monday, San Diego has won seven of its last 10 games and trails the Dodgers by three games in the NL West. Tigers ace Tarik Skubal continued his dominance over the weekend by striking out 10 batters in Detroit's 7-5 win over the Phillies. He's now a huge favorite (-700) to win the AL Cy Young Award. On Sunday, the Astros (-125) were the most bet team in terms of number of bets and money against the Red Sox. Boston completed the sweep with a convincing 6-1 win. The Yankees (-115) were the second-most bet team in terms of number of bets and fourth-most bet team in terms of money. Miami also completed a series sweep, with a 7-3 win. On the PGA Tour, Cameron Young won the Wyndham Championship for his first career win. He finished at 22 under, winning by six shots. Going into the week in the outright winner market, he was +5000 and took in 1.3% of the bets and 2% of the money. There is roughly a month left in the WNBA season, and no team is a clear-cut favorite to win the title. As of Monday, the Lynx are the favorite at +165 but are closely followed by the Liberty at +170. The Mercury (+650), Fever (+1050), and Dream (+1200) round out the top five. ___ This column was provided to The Associated Press by BetMGM online sportsbook. ___ AP sports:

Maple Leafs trade pitch sends recently signed youngster to Wild
Maple Leafs trade pitch sends recently signed youngster to Wild originally appeared on The Sporting News If the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to win a Stanley Cup next season, there's still a chance that they could go out and try to make a blockbuster move. However, for them to do that, there are a few different things they have to consider. After losing Mitch Marner and possibly having to move on from others in the near future, the Maple Leafs could view next season as a year where they're going to struggle and try to figure things out. However, given some of the other veterans on the roster, the Maple Leafs are still in a somewhat decent position to compete, at the very least. Despite the uncertainties of what the Maple Leafs want to do, Heavy Sports' Cole Shelton recently proposed a trade idea to send them a veteran player in Mats Zuccarello of the Minnesota Wild. The downside in this trade would be sending a second-round pick to the Wild. MORE: Maple Leafs acquire: Mats Zuccarello Wild acquire: Nick Robertson, 2027 second-round pick 'The proposed deal would be an intriguing one as Toronto would acquire Zuccarello from the Wild to fill a top-six role. The Wild, meanwhile, get a draft pick and a young NHL forward who could use a change of scenery. 'The Maple Leafs would add Zuccarello, who's entering the final year of his two-year, $8.25 million deal. Zuccarello can be Toronto's second-line left winger, which is a major need for the team. He's coming off a season where he recorded 19 goals and 35 assists for 54 points in 69 games. His career high is 79 points and 26 goals,' he wrote. Moving on from a second-round pick in the position the Maple Leafs are currently in would be interesting, but it isn't like it'll be the end-all be-all. Ultimately, the Maple Leafs probably need younger players, and Zuccarello wouldn't be that, but it's still an intriguing thought and something they could consider depending on how the remainder of the offseason goes.

The Hockey Maven Picks His Five Favorite Rangers
Anybody can like a star; it's the easiest thing in the world. But only a special few can root hard for the lesser lights. The Maven happens to be one of them. So, here's the summertime edition of "My Five Favorite Rangers." By the way, no agreement on your part is necessary. After all, we can agree to disagree, can't we? (Please say yes, or I might just might shed a tear.) 1. WILL CUYLLE: I especially like guys who come out of nowhere and suddenly emerge as useful characters. This 23-year-old, 6-3, 210 pounder out of Toronto is more than useful. He hits; hits some more, scores and coach Sullivan only wishes he had ten more like him. Plus, More-Than-Willing Will has emerged as a key figure in "The New Core." (What's not to like?) 2. JONNY BRODZINSKI: Ham Lake, Minnesota's gift to Manhattan was listed as "fifth center" a year ago. That was another way of saying, "Enjoy, Hartford, Pal." And, if you really wanna know the truth, 32-year-old Brod would have been perfectly happy, working with young Wolf Pack prospects. But Jonny was such a successful fill-in that management preferred him with the Big Club. (He should be a fixture this year.) 3. BRADEN SCHNEIDER: Unobtrusively, and without any fuss or fanfare this model of a solid, all-round defender should be regarded as the Number Two blue liner right behind Adam Fox. Just 24, Schneid has reached his prime simply by doing the right things at his position; as opposed to K'Andre Miller who was listed #2 a year ago. (We found out what a mistake that was, didn't we?) Promise For The Rangers Or Failure? Who Do You Want To Believe? Let's not kid ourselves, at this point of midsummer it's impossible how the Rangers will fare in the fall, winter or spring next season. 4. ADAM EDSTROM: The Swede's buddy, Matt Rempe, could take some lessons from his alter ego skyscraper. Adam doesn't do what Matt does. Edstrom doesn't get suspended; he doesn't do crazy, illegal board checks and he plays smart. Rempe should have spent the summer taking lessons from Edstrom. Right now it appears that Adam is a sure thing in terms of making the varsity. The Remper? (No guarantees at this time.) 5. JONATHAN QUICK: The S.O.S. Man, Long Jon has become the backup goalie's backup goalie. He's also commodore-in-chief behind the scenes, especially in the clubhouse. (Quite frankly, if the spirit moved him. Quckie could shout "Hallelujah" and play two more seasons.)
