ATL 7, HOU 0; Bravos are World Champs

I admit I was somewhat distracted from this outcome by election crap in my district, but what a strange end for the Astros, shut out at home by a team that spent the first half of the season looking apathetic at best. But the first half of the season really doesn't matter -- and now the season's over.

Time to care about college hoops instead! But first, the business at hand. Final points of the session:

Albies 2
Freeman 6
Riley 0
Swanson 4

Altuve 1
Álvarez 1
Tucker 0

And thanks to Freddie, Yuhan surges back into the lead at the end. Your winners:

99 Yuhan 2 // $217
96 Fell 1 // $62
67 Cayenne 2 // $31

The complete final standings and a few awards, after the jump!

HOU 9, ATL 5

The Astros hang on to take the series back to Houston -- no real thanks to that Greinke single, but it was fun to see anyway. 

And a mild money shuffle thanks to the points, which despite the score resided mostly with the Bravos. 

Albies 0
Freeman 4
Riley 4
Swanson 0

Altuve 1
Álvarez 0
Tucker 2

Álvarez is on a cold streak in the Classic, but Yuhan just needs one dinger out of him to retake the lead. In the meantime, here's the money:

95 Fell
92 Yuhan
61 Cayenne 2

59 Stempel
51 Bingham

48 Tormey and Cayenne 1
44 SDB
40 Cameron

We resume with some November baseball on Election Day -- blessedly free of the Chop, whatever happens -- and I'll see you back here then!
