MIL 3, SD 2

A somewhat unpleasant game to look at, strictly visually -- the combination of the odd lighting at the Brewers' park and those "iconic" Pads unis just felt nightmarish; trying to backseat-drive that home run that wasn't, forget it -- but a fun one in terms of gameplay. The folks who get paid to write about this stuff think this series is the closest contest on paper so we may get a full five of close games like this one.

No shortage of points, either...

Bauers 2
Chourio 4
Contreras the Younger 4
Mitchell 1
Turang 0
Yeli 1

Bogaerts 1
Cronenworth 0
France 1
Merrill 0
Tatis 1

...but the less said about Machado hogging all of them, the better, probably. ("No, say more." - Aaron)

Every slate is now nominally on the board. No huge changes to the leaderboard since last night, but here's the money currently:

28 Bauer 2
25 Yuhan 2
22 Fell 2 and Winklepleck

21 Crase
19 Izzo 1, Stempelson, O'Reilly
18 Wonsetler Heart

Everyone else after the jump...

17 LoPorto 1
16 Wonsetler Head
15 DGB, Green, AK 2
14 Izzo 2 and Reid Dumb

13 Quinn 2
12 Reid Smart
11 Brady
10 Cameron 2 and LoPorto 2

9 Yuhan 1 and MArbour 2
7 Cameron 1, Drake's Dis Track, AK 1, SDB David, Bauer 1, JArbour
6 Bingham 2, SDB Goliath, Tormey

5 Fell 1, Quinn 1
3 MArbour 1
2 Drake's Cakes and the Shotwells

waiting for Turang to do something: Bingham 1

Hopefully it won't be long -- and the view at the top will be somewhat different by this time tomorrow, since the AL is off tonight to avoid football/prolong our Novig torture. 

These two go again at 4 PM ET on FS1; ATL/LAD is at 8, also on FS1. I'm out of pocket most of the day so you may not get an update 'til late. Good luck!
