HOU 7, NYY 1

The texts were flying last night, at least between a couple of specific zombie slate-holders. I thought Verlander might be cashed after a lengthy previous outing, but he's a pro and got it done. Severino, less so, although his performance wasn't as grim as his AJ Burnettish point total might suggest.

Said points:

Judge 4

Severino -1

Altuve 5
Bregman 2
Correa 3

Verlander 7

The changes to the money give us a good idea of what the World Series will look like, pool-wise, vis-a-vis trading fire at the top:

114 Yuhan 2
101 Bauer Noobs and Shotwell 2
90 Cooley

Just off the pace:

88 Shotwell 1
86 Williams and the threateningly unique/still loaded Currie 1

83 Stembraaaaaains

79 Reid Classic
76 MArbour 2 and Powell, counting on Seager
72 Tormey
71 Bingham 2
70 Ansell and Brady

high 60s Drake 1, Bingham 1, Bunting 1, Camerons 1
low 60s Winklepleck, Drake 2, Reid DS, Elodie

high 40s JArbour, Camerons 2, Simone
low 40s Bunting 2, Currie 2

39 MArbour 1

I refuse to make a prediction on tonight's Game 7, Sabathia v. Morton at 8 ET; I can see half a dozen different scenarios unfolding. Few of them involve a low-scoring nailbiter, but maybe that's just wishful thinking. If the Yankees lose, Brady and I may have to go to shelter-in-place protocols -- people aren't fucking around with the fandom out here in the Ridge of Bay -- but if we can summon up a bar of service in the basement, I'll update, heh.

Good luck!
