MLB Homestretch With Log Jams In NL Wild Card & AL West. NFL Over/Unders Review. Colorado Resurgence, Jalen Milroe's Big Day, FSU Back Highlights College Football. Swiatek Out/Coco Gauff's Moment
As we gear up for the final days of summer, the sports universe starts to pick up furiously so I have plenty to unpack as the latest episode is here. On deck:
(2:43) With the Labor Day holiday weekend coming to a close, we're in the homestretch of the baseball season as we have two critical races to watch. I'll get into the NL Wild Card picture as you have four teams (i.e. Miami, San Francisco, Arizona and Cincinnati) fighting for one spot ALL with roughly the same record. And the AL West has a three team race (i.e. Seattle, Texas, Houston) for the division title. There is another chase to pay attention to as the Orioles and Rays are battling it out for the AL East. The Braves had an impressive weekend in LA as they won three out of four games, but it was an eventful week for Ronald Acuna Jr. Not only did he have some huge games vs. the Dodgers, but he got married in a morning ceremony on Thursday, as well as, getting ambushed by two fans in Colorado on the field in the middle of a game last Tuesday. I'll also review my over/under win totals of the year thus far, to see where I stand for the six teams that I chose at the beginning of the season.
(18:52) The NFL season begins in three days. I'll review the over/under win totals for the 2023 campaign with some likes, dislikes and hints as to who I may choose come Thursday's podcast when I'll have my full football preview at that time.
(27:38) College football is in full swing. I'll take a peek at the highlights of the weekend including Deion Sanders coaching debut and huge win vs. TCU. Alabama QB Jalen Milroe's impressive start and is Florida State back as they beat LSU behind their young QB Jordan Travis.
(34:42) The US Open is into its second week. We almost had a major upset on the men's side as Novak Djokovic survived a scare on Friday night. There was a huge upset on the women's side as the #1 player Iga Swiatek lost in surprising fashion to someone who's not a household name (i.e. Jelena Ostapenko). Which sets it up for Coco Gauff, who now has to get it done, finally get to a Grand Slam final...and win!
