MLB games are showing incorrect status (via API https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v2/json/schedule/league/4424/2026 )
like :
{

"strEvent": "Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers",
"idLeague": "4424",
"strLeague": "MLB",
"strSport": "Baseball",

Yes I noticed this as well, Our main data source is currently having major issues with MLB and a few other baseball leagues.

I'm looking into how we can override their data corruption on our site.

EDIT: If anyone wants to fix anything manually just edit the event and set the locked status to "Locked" after so the source does not overwrite it later.
