The battle for second place in the AL Central.

I haven’t been this excited since Sen. John Fetterman changed his sweatshirt.

The Guardians are in Detroit.

Cleveland’s Cal Quantrill has had a super September.

Quantrill has allowed only six runs over those 27 ²/₃ innings.

The Tigers counter with Joey Wentz who will thankfully make his final start of the year.

Wentz has surrendered 12 runs over his last 19 innings.

Believed all year the Guardians were better than the Twinkies.

Wrong again.

But they should be able to complete the exacta in the final weekend.

Play $50 on the Guardians.

Nice hit. Finally.

We guessed the playoff-bound Twins would pull Sonny Gray early.

They did.

Gray was gone after four frames.

The A’s Luis Medina stayed for six, allowing one run on three hits.

Ryan Noda’s eighth-inning laser off Kenta Maeda won it for the road-dog A’s.

Final 2-1. Winner. Down -1,182 joerudis.
