Weekend winners
Shohei Ohtani. Was that the best single performance in a game in the history of pro sports? Six shutout innings with 10Ks in a LCS-clinching win. Add in three homers, and this is Tim Brady throwing for three TDs and 300 yards and then grabbing three picks as a free safety in an AFC championship game.
The Dodgers in general. Yes, sweeping the Brewers to get back to the World Series was nice. But now the Dodgers, who are looking to be the first back-to-back champs in a quarter century, get to rest and reset their stellar starting rotation as the Blue Jays and Mariners go to a Game 7.
Georgia Tech. The Jackets are one of the half-dozen unbeaten teams left in college football. Brent Key is legit, and should be a front-row name at the various job openings around the country. Haynes King should be invited to NYC in December. And GT will be favored every week until Georgia comes to Atlanta in late November.
