TOR 5, NYY 1; Blue Jays move on

Not the happiest outcome for Yankee fans (or pickers). Not the most unpredictable either, though, and I'm glad the Yankees took one of Toronto and that Judge took care of business to the end -- but I don't think anyone reeeeeally saw them going back to the Classic in 2025.

Y'all want to create side action on how long Boone has a job, feel free in the comments. For now, let's look at some points -- and as you know, eliminated picks appear in italics. (More on eliminated slates anon.)

Bichette, whom I hope they put on the LCS roster 0
Guerrero Jr. 1
Kirk 2
Schneider 0
Springer 8

Bellinger 0
Chisholm 0
Judge 2
Rice 0
Stanton 1

The MVP here is clearly Vladdy; no obvious LVP, although between inconsistent performance at the plate and some dumbshit plays in the field, I'd probably give it to Chisholm. I could just be bitter. Clement and Varsho on Victorino Watch.

And now, the money. Bauer booted out of the top spot briefly...by a slate that is now a zombie. If you're new to the pool, a zombie slate has no picks left but is still in one of the top slots -- a fate that befell Bauer last year for a while, in fact. 

Anyway: zombies are also in italics; eventually they fall out of the daily update, but we've got a day or two until that happens. We've also got a brakes-beating going on in Los Angeles rn BUT until Dave Roberts comes out to scrape what's left of Kershaw off the mound, here's where we are:

44 Izzo 2
43 Bauer Snoozical, AK Uno
42 Quinn 2, Izzo 1

41 Mopsiukas 1
39 Mectomy
36 The Camerons and Bingham Prime
35 Fell 1
34 MArbour 1, Yuhan, and Drake 2


Izzo 2 is the only slate out, as it happens, and this is all going to look completely different in an hour, thanks to a couple Schwarbombs (finally!) and almost every other Phillie pick notching points. Until then, pour one out for your pinstripe picks, and good luck!
