Quick Summary

The Tampa Bay Rays staged an impressive comeback in Game 4 of the World Series, winning after trailing with only three outs left in the 12th inning. The article highlights how the Rays managed to score four hits in that final inning alone, contrasting their previous performance where they had just five hits throughout the first eleven innings. Despite this momentum shift, the Milwaukee Brewers still hold a series lead of 3-1 and will send their ace pitcher Jacob deGrom (referred to as Misiorowski in error) to the mound for Game 5, who has been dominant both during the regular season and in the playoffs, though facing him for a second time presents an opportunity for the Rays.

🔮 One of the two matches between ranked teams happens today, so we know both of them will move up or down the Top-25 list after this, with Arizona taking on Texas Tech.
🔮 Florida and Georgia play today, and a win here for Florida would go a long way for its case and probably hurt the Bulldogs quite a bit.
🔮 The Charlotte Hornets are not as terrible as you might think if you haven't followed the game recently.
🔮 However, the rest of the roster is filled out with guys who would be better at filling roles than filling holes.
🔮 I will grab UConn at +1250 to win the title, as I think this team will make at least an Elite 8 appearance.

🔮 If you want to find any "flaw" for the team, it might be that they are only winning by one run in about half of the games.
🔮 My victory lap will stop here because I have been dead wrong about the Dallas Cowboys.
🔮 This season, the Chiefs have found a way to a 5-0 record, but their bye week has already passed, which makes me think they will lose some games late in the season.
🔮 The Chargers were expected to be strong this year, but they’ve been terrible.
