57 59 | Houston Astros sweep Oakland Athletics, just before NBA Western Conference Finals, May 7 - May 9, 2018

5/9 (May 9)

5/8 (May 8)

5/7 (May 7)

Notice the team from Houston just swept the team from Oakland in MLB, and the final game of the series came on May 9, the day after the Rockets vs Warriors was set for the Western Conference Finals, which was May 8.

Also, consider May 9, or 5/9, is a bit like 59.

Houston Rockets = 59
59, the 17th prime
NBA = 17

The 5/7 start is good too...

The NBA Finals = 57
NBA Finals = 57

Don't forget the riddle with the Astros winning the World Series over LA, and James Harden scoring back to back 51-point games in LA...

World Series = 57
