The Dodgers are one win from their third straight NLCS after beating the Braves 3-1 in Atlanta. Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out a postseason-career-high 10 over seven innings to move to 8-1 in October, and John Browner says he’s already the pitching version of Mr. October. Grant explains why Shohei Ohtani hitting fifth isn’t the scandal people think, and the crew tracks the Padres’ must-win game live as it happens. Then the Lakers’ honeymoon: Luka’s 21 in 16 minutes and Cam Carr’s 19 have fans buying in, Grant included — but John says it was the Kings, and he isn’t buying fake gold yet. The WNBA semifinals bring an upstart Valkyries team that outrebounded the defending champion Aces 52-25, and an Atlanta Dream team Grant covered at Sports Illustrated. Grant calls UCLA the best story in college football; John won’t believe it until he sees the bank statement. The NFL suspends two officials for unprofessional conduct, and John argues the refs were provoked and that gambling is why officiating has never been more scrutinized. It closes with Lane Johnson’s retirement four games into his 14th season, and why the crew is glad he walked away on his own terms.
