Some game last night, yeah? Of course it felt like a multiple-overtime postseason game in the big-league ice hockey: tight 1-1 score, outstanding relief pitching akin to unconscious goaltending, etc. In the end, Bellinger did just enough, as did Mannie Manchando (Manchando!). Whenever your team prevails in an instant-win situation, they have done just enough. Your La-La Land Doyers did just enough.
Going at it already this afternoon, and October Kershaw is showing up again. This could be it, with October Kershaw simply dictating that your La-La Land Los Doyers will have a difficult afternoon at the Ravine. October Kershaw, complete oppo of October Bumgarner. October Kershaw, perhaps hurling for the last time as a member of your La-La Land Los Doyers. We’ll see.

Smoke if you got ’em, Canada! Now that recreational use of cannabis has been decriminalized up there, we’ll have to light-up in honour of Woodbine. The contentious ones are Races 4, 6, 7 & 8. There’s a BestLine top pick rated at a 41.5pc chance of winning in the third, and it might be the morning-line fave — or not! We report, you decide! Congratulations to the Great Green North now!
