LAD 5, SD 3

I miss Vin Scully on the call as much as a non-Dodgers fan can, but I've always liked Charley Steiner a lot too, going back to the '90s when he was on the mic for the Yankees, and the elemental joy in his voice when the Dodgers are doing their thing in the postseason is really something. So happy that this is his job and that he gets to do it after the bye week.

He'd have been just as pleased on some level if the team lost, but they did not, and while not every pick notched points, an SD pick finally got on the board. Did everyone in the pool do the same?

...Not yet! We still have a slate eligible for the Gol-Dunn Sombrero, although based on the picks, that outcome doesn't seem probably unless Altuve throws the Dodgers into the La Brea tar pits and then is eaten by a bear. 

It is, however, getting a bit more crowded towards the top. Here's the money, with your full standings after the jump (remember that zombie slates are italicized):

26 Crase 1
21 Winklepleck 1 and Bauer Heart
17 Fell 2 and O'Reilly

15 SDB 2 and Crase 2
14 Yuhan 2
13 Reid 1, Cameron 1, Drake, Brady, and Yuhan 1

11 DGB
10 Rogge, Reid 2, Bauer Shock, Sung, and The Chavez Ravine 3 (MArbour 1, Shotwell 1, and Winklepleck 2)

9 Cayenne 2
8 Cayenne 1
7 Bingham 2 and SDB 1

6 Dunn, Quinn, Fell 1, Bingham 1
5 JArbour, MArbour 2
4 Stempel
3 Cameron 2 and Shotwell 2

0 Tormey

This set of standings is perhaps not especially meaningful, because we've got a subset of heavy-action picks that have already gone out -- but more to the point, many of the most popular picks A) were on teams that just started yesterday, and B) didn't reach base with hits. Judge, Betts and Freeman, Altuve -- nothing yet.

But like I said, that state of affairs is unlikely to last, at least for pickers on the NL side. A quieter day today, with the NL East back in action at 4:30 ET and the West at 8:30. I'll update the spreadsheet for those tonight; in the meantime, check my math/typing, and good luck!
