Story summary

In October 2026, the Tampa Bay Rays swept the New York Yankees in a three-game American League Division Series (ALDS), ending the Yankees' playoff hopes at Yankee Stadium with a final score of 4-3 in Game 3. Before the game, some speculated that the Yankees might replicate the surprising success of the Knicks, who had recently swept the Red Sox. However, this did not come to fruition as the Rays dominated, winning decisively and celebrating triumphantly by singing "New York, New York" in their clubhouse. This sweep highlighted the Rays' superior performance throughout the season; they won 9 games against the Yankees during the regular season and swept them in the playoffs. The ALDS loss left key players like Aaron Judge, who missed the postseason due to injury, frustrated with the team's direction.

So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.
