LAD 2, SD 0; Dodgers move on

This is the preferable result for Mets fans, and for fans of pool chaos; I am both, but I didn't call this outcome -- and the rising of Dodger pitching to this occasion is somewhat worrisome for Met partisans.

Somewhat objectionable for Padre pickers too, as the Dads depart with only one point among them.

Lots of admin tonight, so let's start with the points:

Betts 0
Freeman 1
Hernandez T 4
Ohtani 0
Smith W 1

Arraez 1
Machado 0
Merrill 0
Tatis Jr. 0

Those italics mean, as you know, that these picks are out.

Technically, our pool LVP for this round is Freeman, but given what he's going through just to stay in the lineup, I can't do it -- and Arraez wasn't any better in this round of the playoffs. MVP remains Tatis Jr., who did what Machado usually does in the pool. The Victorino is...well, that's a tough one. Higashioka, let's go with that.

Now, while a handful of slates got gut-punched by the Pads' departure, we didn't lose any (technically; there are a handful with one functionally immaterial pick left, but we'll get there). We did see a realignment of fortunes, and will likely keep seeing them daily for the next week, but for now here's the money:

47 Bauer OMG
45 Cameron 2
34 MArbour 2

And we'll see the rest of you after the jump.

33 JArbour and Winklepleck
32 Shotwell
31 Bauer Snooze

29 SDB Sorry
28 Reid 2, SDB Safe, and Stempel
27 Quinn

24 Cameron 1 and Drake
23 Reid 1
22 Bingham 1, Dunn, and Fell 1

21 Brady
20 Tormey and Fell 2

19 Johnson
18 Wonsetler
17 Shotwell 2
16 Bingham 2 and MArbour 1


...So, a lot of wild ways still left for BPP 2024 to go! We'll know more tomorrow when the ALDSes wrap up in Cleveland; a reminder that that start time got changed due to weather concerns, so that one's at 1 PM ET on TBS. 

Check my math as always, and see you tomorrow afternoon!
