#Desperate St. Louis gets it done

President Trump reportedly will nominate Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court on Saturday, but whispers are his front-runners included Barbara Lagoa and the honorable Cardi B.

Is it fair to say the attendance would be the same for Saturday’s Tigers-Royals game without a pandemic? The teams will finish off the short, yet too long, season in K.C. Detroit’s Matthew Boyd (2-7, ERA 6.96) will try to head into the off season with a confidence builder. He crowned the Royals on Sept. 15, but took two steps back by allowing the Indians to score five runs in five innings next time out. Royals rookie Carlos Hernandez (0-0, ERA 3.46) has not pitched into the fifth inning yet, and has surrendered four runs over his last 6 ²/₃ innings. Play 20 units on the Tigers.

Looking to turn two. This one may have playoff implications. The Brewers are at St. Louis, and as of early edition the Cardinals hadn’t clinched. The pitching is a rematch from Sept. 16. Brews’ Brandon Woodrufff was stuck with a loss, outpitched by 39 year-old Adam Wainwright, who scattered four hits over seven strong. Play 10 units on the (desperate?) Cards.
