Ratings are in and the Woke TV execs are pleased with the returns on the Academy Awards. The Oscars were the fourth-most watched show Sunday night. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” reruns of “The Big Bang Theory” and MTV’s “Ridiculous” marathon ran 1-2-3.

A reminder: While the benefits of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine outweigh the risks, these risky selections may not prove beneficial.

The overachieving, first-place Royals are in Pittsburgh. Kansas City’s Mike Minor (2-1, ERA 4.64) and the Pirates’ Mitch Keller (1-2, ERA 7.16) are coming off starts against the toothless Tigers. Minor took a no-no into the fifth frame, but was pulled after a two-run homer left the park. He departed having struck out nine in the win. Keller allowed two balls to sail over the wall in the loss, and has allowed 21 hits over 16 innings. Play 20 units on the Royals.

Phooled again! Cards beat the Phillies 5-2. Carlos Martinez out-pitched Zach Eflin. St. Louis out-hit Philly 11-3. Quiet loss has us at -850 johnkruks.
