In need of help due to our current losing streak we were all set to head on over to Flushing Meadows where licensed “Mental Health Providers” and “Quiet Rooms” are being made available at the U.S. Open. Hey, handicappers’ lives matter, too. However, if President Biden can slap the “extraordinary success” label on the Afghanistan crisis … then hey, we’re downright awesome.

The AL-best Rays play host to the Red Sox. Tampa’s Drew Rasmussen (1-1, 3.46 ERA) has appeared in 30 games, making five starts. He’s allowed 12 runs over his last 35 innings. Chris Sale has impressed since returning to the rotation. Made three starts, all wins, giving up four runs over 15 frames. His K/BB ratio reads 21/3. There is a better chance of Andrew Cuomo winning another Emmy than the Bosox catching the Rays but we’re sold on Sale. 30 units on Boston.

Rainout in Cincy. Our bet on the Cards was postponed. Stuck at -1,445 goolagongs.
