You're welcome for that reverse jinx, Dodger fans! Los Angeles bats, one in particular, weren't having it re going home, so the series goes back to Atlanta and we all get more baseball.
And some of us get more points! And...some of us lose a pick. More on that anon, but first, yesterday's damage:
Albies 1
Freeman 4
Riley 0
Swanson 1
Bellinger 3
Betts 1
Seager 1
Smith 0
J Turner 0
T Turner 3
Some interesting trends to contemplate on the NL travel day -- Freeman and Trea Turner waking up; Riley and Smith going dormant -- but the big headline for us, besides Shris Taylorino racking 13 points nobody around here could use, is Justin Turner getting replaced on the roster. Everything I've read suggests he's out for the duration, which is a damn shame for him...but probably won't actually affect his pickers that much. In any event, he's now considered a dead pick, with all that that implies. If he's back for the World Series somehow, we'll figure it out then.
For now, let's look at the money:
61 Yuhan 2
57 Fell 2
53 Cayenne 2
Everyone else after the jump!
49 Shotwell 1
46 Arbour
44 Shotwell 2
42 Stempel
41 Crase
39 Bingham 1
38 Wonsetler
37 Grove
36 Tormey and Cayenne 1
32 the SDBs
31 Cameron 1
28 Cameron 2
27 Yuhan 1
26 Quinn
17 Bingham 2
4 Brady
...Y'all have been here a while; you know what the italics mean. Sorry, honey. Just that one slate drops, though, and again, with 3 points in 2 weeks, this is more accepting reality than anything.
And now the AL slates gather themselves to retake the money and Boston tries to fend off elimination; the cuticle-gnawing starts tonight at 8 PM, with Eovaldi vs. a dude with a 45.00 postseason ERA. Prediction-wise, this means nothing, really -- #smallsamplesize -- but I do think that we'll know how this is going by the end of the second inning.
Yeah, I know, famous last words, so let's end with these: good luck, everyone!
