LD 7, ATL 3

Talk about your worn-out-looking bullpens. Dave Roberts is over there with a 20-sided die all "Hope Belly gets me out of this!" 

A really fun game to watch, though, despite Buck, Buck's sad mustache, Doltz, and a nauseating barrage of gambling ads. Betts is such a star. (We're also going to need to talk about Joc Pedersen's necklace, which is ensorcellingly sparkly.)

Speaking of sparkly stuff: points!

Acuña 0
Freeman 4
Ozuna 1
Swanson 0

Bellinger 0
Betts 2
Muncy 0
Pollock 1
Seager 8
Turner 2

Which makes it quite close at the top, the leader excepted. (An asterisk means the slates are identical.)

67 Fell 2
60 SDB
59 MArbour 2 and Barboot 1*

58 MArbour 1
57 Barboot 2
56 Cameron 1 and Shotwell 1*; Tormey

Everyone else plus the schedule, after the jump!

Remember what I said yesterday about not giving up on these slates? The MArbours climbed up the standings with knives in their teeth all week...and then a couple slates I'm about to update spent all week in the money. One of your guys goes yard and it's a new day. 

53 Bauer 2
52 Yuhan 1

49 Stempelson, JArbour 1, and Cayenne 1
46 Shotwell 2, Brady, and Winklepleck

43 Cameron 2 and Cayenne 2
40 Bingham and DGB*

39 Lund and Fell 1
32 Bauer 1

21 Dunn
20 JArbour 2


We continue with the baffling start times -- I guess to avoid college football? idk -- as the Dodgers try again to hang on at 4:38; Buehler and Fried pitching. Should be a nail-biter, but I have no prediction, as momentum between games doesn't seem to stay any particular place in this series.

At 8:37, because I guess nobody cares if kids can stay up to watch anymore, it's the ALCS Game 7: McCullers for Houston, Morton for Tampa Bay. This one I think stays close until the middle innings, and then Altuve hits something unrecoverable-from and that's that. 

We'll see; as always, check my work for data-entry errors -- and as always, good luck!
