The Dodgers season will end short of the World Series yet again, and for the third straight season, it will be at the hands of a division foe. Count on the Padres to put away Los Angeles today. Dylan Cease will deal, the Dodgers bullpen won’t hold off the Padres lineup, and Friar fans will bask in beating their big brother up north in the playoffs for the second time in three years. And the team that won the 2023 offseason will start the 2024 one early. 

Let’s go from one team being eliminated and ending their season to another beginning. The New York Rangers make their season debut tonight and count on it being a good one in Pittsburgh. Bet the Broadway Blueshirts to beat the Penguins and Alexis Lafrenière to pepper the net.
