I heard about this while watching Prime Time Sports on Sportsnet here in Canada today & decided to look it up & read the story on SI. Pretty interesting read.

cliffs: Jeff Locke, a rookie pitcher with the Pirates, is implicated by a childhood friend to be fixing games with him. He predicts 5 straight decisions late in the 2012 season to appear to give his story credibility but turns out he lied about it because the pitcher rebuffed him & his brother on facebook.
