Both have the theme of fixing sports games... in MLB they mention baseball and the main sport is Boxing.
Both have slight and slow burn romance. (Although it's too soon to say about LFiS).
Both have murders and corruption.
The sports part seems more serius in this one (LFiS) = And I personally find it more rich in storytelling, characters and cinematography...

It shows the struggles of the older body but at the same time the passion of the soul that has no age.
Both are remarkable and beautiful. And both reminds us that life is finite and passing by so what are we doing with it?
