Rob Gronkowski set a world record by catching a football dropped 600 feet by a helicopter. In a related story Mayor de Blasio was handed 10 political footballs since the pandemic began … and dropped them all.

Could this be the year the Angels help Mike Trout get into the postseason? Both Trout and Anthony Rendon may return from the IL for their series with the Rangers. Shohei Ohtani (0-0, ERA 1.04) has pitched in two games giving up one run over 8 ²/₃ innings. Do-it-all Ohtani hit a homer Sunday to help LA snap a four-game skid and the pitcher/slugger may fling/swing Monday for only the second time in his MLB career. Texas’ Jordan Lyles (1-1, ERA 4.64) owns a solid K/BB ratio of 18/3 but has surrendered nine runs over his last 15 frames. Banking on Trout and Rendon returning, we are backing the Angels for 20 units.

Well Oscar at least the Padres and Dodgers put on a good show didn’t they? L.A. went up 7-1 before S.D. tied it in the ninth inning and went on to win it in the 11th. Final score 8-7. Unlikely win takes us to -850 pacinos.
