Atlanta batters had not scored a run in the first two games of their team’s NLDS series against La-La Land, and La-La Land pitchers had not issued a walk in those two games, either. So of course Atlanta’s first run in the series, coming in Game 3 last night, was scored via a La-La Land pitcher surrendering a bases-loaded walk — to the opposing pitcher, no less! What a game, this béisbol. And then this happened…
Hey, if the other team is doing something good, we are not averse to covering it. We are not homers. As well, take your pick of North American holidays today: in Canada, Thanksgiving; in the U.S., Columbus Day. Either way, Native Americans figure prominently. As they said in that old comedy routine, ‘Take an Indian to lunch today’. Maybe the Los Doyers will do just that — and then eat the Indian’s lunch too! Hahahahahahaha! Just kidding. Maybe.

Think globally, act locally, so over at Santa Anita today, Race 3 is not bad, despite a short field; similar to that race are Races 4 & 5 & 6 & 7. Race 8 has the BestLine highest win probability on the afternoon. It’s a holiday across the continent, so you have plenty of time to locate that standout. Best wishes!
