My wife and I did the same test with the same results. It's the reason I took the app off my phone and just use the mobile web.

For clarification on what we did for our test, I live in the south east. We don't watch professional baseball at all...so we started talking about going to a Cincinnati Reds game.

And then we saw ads for the Reds and MLB.

I'm not trying to go full tin foil hat here, but it was a pretty strong coincidence for that to happen.
