LAD 4, PHI 3

It usually takes a bit longer to get to it, that magical moment in every postseason where a manager vapor-locks in a late-inning pressure situation and calls a bunt, resulting in my name being taken in vain all over social media. But it's almost always legit, and it was this time. The hell, Thomson?

Nice to see noted visual artist Bader come off the bench, though. Speaking of that: points!

Betts 1
Freeman 2
Hernandez T 2
Ohtani 1
Pages 0

Bader 1
Bohm 1
Harper 0
Schwarber 0
Stott 1
Turner T 1

It is getting very late early for Phils pickers; Phillie picks to date have amassed 5 points among them, total. Schwarber has exactly none of them. I know it's like this sometimes, but it feels pretty shocking to see this many perfectly reasonable picks just not do anything.

The money and its suburbs after the first game:

43 Bauer Snooze
34 Izzo 1
33 Mectomy

30 Izzo 2 and the AKs
28 Mopsiukas 1 and DGB


Not as many picks in play for the late game, but it's not shaping up as a pitchers' duel, so we'll see what happens. Good luck!

Famous last words… But seeing both the Yankees and Phillies down 0-2, almost makes the Mets slow car wreck of a season a little less painful.
