⚾ Good morning to everybody however particularly …

THE ATLANTA BRAVES

If you might be in reality just right, you’ll stay the Braves offense quiet for slightly — the Phillies for sure did — however you might be no longer going to stay them down eternally. Atlanta were given off the mat and rallied for 5 overdue runs and an improbable game-ending double play to win 5-4 and even the NLDS at one sport apiece.

• Zack Wheeler was once dominant — no hits via 5 2/3 innings — till he wasn’t. Travis d’Arnaud homered on Wheeler’s ultimate pitch of the evening to make it 4-3 for Philadelphia.
• One inning later, Austin Riley hit the go-ahead homer on a dangling slider.
• For the ultimate outs, Michael Harris II made an incredible jumping catch at the wall, and Bryce Harper could not beat the relay again to first base. It was once the first 8-5-3 double play in postseason historical past.
• The four-run comeback ties the greatest in Braves postseason historical past.

The Braves tied the all-time house run report with 307 house runs this season. That energy got here via when it mattered maximum, writes Mike Axisa.

😃 Honorable mentions

⚾ And no longer one of these just right morning for …

THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS

The Dodgers have the maximum wins in baseball over the previous 3 seasons. This 12 months, they beat the Diamondbacks in 8 in their 13 conferences and outscored them through 25. They’re one sport clear of all of it going for naught … once more.

Arizona as soon as once more were given a large first inning and a powerful bullpen effort, beating Los Angeles 4-2 and pushing the NL West champs to the breaking point.

• One sport after tagging Clayton Kershaw for six runs whilst recording only one out, the Diamondbacks driven throughout 3 in the first inning off Bobby Miller and compelled him out of the sport after simply 1 2/3 innings.
• Zac Gallen delivered 5 1/3 high quality innings, and 4 relievers completed issues off with out permitting a run.

The Dodgers simply cannot ship in giant moments. They’re 2-12 (.166) with runners in scoring place this collection; the Diamondbacks are 7-19 (.368). Near the best of the lineup, Mookie Betts has no hits; Corbin Carroll has 3 and has scored just about as many runs (3) as the Dodgers have as a group (4).

Ultimately, the Dodgers’ many stars are failing to shine, and the remainder of the roster is not choosing up the slack. The Diamondbacks’ relatively few stars are shining, and the remainder of the roster is, too. The Diamondbacks have been thought to be a pleasant tale and a large underdog. The Dodgers are learning those snakes can chunk, too.

😬 Not so honorable mentions

🏈 Raiders select off Jordan Love thrice to win in high time

It wasn’t lovely. At occasions, it gave the impression of the Raiders — and their trainer — have been handing the Packers as many possibilities as imaginable to win. Jordan Love and his teammates refused to take them. Love threw 3 interceptions, together with the game-sealing underthrow to Christian Watson stuck through Amik Robertson in the finish zone, and Las Vegas escaped with a 17-13 win on “Monday Night Football.”

• Josh Jacobs scored what grew to become out to be the game-winning landing on the first play of the fourth quarter.
• Love’s different two interceptions went to Robert Spillane, who entered the evening with one profession select.
• Love’s the first quarterback and not using a landing passes and 3 interceptions in opposition to the Raiders since Drew Brees … again in 2002! Love was once 2 years outdated.
• In his “one thing we learned about every team this week” column, Jeff Kerr says Love has hit a wall.

To me, there are two headlines. The largest is Love, who has been terrible following his robust Week 1 in opposition to the Bears. Since then, he is …

• Tied for the league lead in interceptions (six)
• Last in of entirety share (55.6%)
• Second-to-last in passer ranking (best Mac Jones is worse)

The 2nd headline does not display in the report as a result of he were given bailed out, however Josh McDaniels continues to make baffling selections. The best explanation why the Raiders wanted a game-saving interception was once as a result of, with 2 mins left dealing with fourth-and-2, McDaniels opted for a box function … and Daniel Carlson overlooked.

Here’s the factor: After Carlson overlooked, they wanted a landing. If he had made it … the Packers wanted a landing! According to the Next Gen Stats Decision Guide, it was once the worst determination of the season. McDaniels has had a variety of head-scratchers this season. He’s fortunate this one did not value him.

🏒 NHL returns this night! Power Rankings, Stanley Cup choices, extra

Throw on the sweater and lace up the skates: It’s hockey season! The NHL returns this night with a trio of video games, together with the reigning-champion Golden Knights website hosting the Kraken. Chris Bengel says Vegas has what it takes to repeat, however historical past suggests it would possibly not be simple: There had been two repeat champions in the previous quarter-century.

The Golden Knights are not in the best 5 of Austin Nivison’s season-opening Power Rankings.

1. Oilers
2. Hurricanes
3. Stars
4. Devils
5. Avalanche

Also no longer in the best 5? The Bruins, who adopted the easiest common season ever with a first-round go out to the Panthers. Then Patrice Bergeron retired, and Austin assesses whether or not they are able to leap again from final 12 months’s sadness … or whether or not they are due to regress.

One group nowhere close to the best of the Power Rankings — twenty ninth to be precise — is the Blackhawks. But No. 1 general select Connor Bedard will have a large season and provides Chicago hope, Chris writes.

• Bengel: “In the 2023 Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase … Bedard recorded a hat trick and made a few jaws drop in a 5-0 Blackhawks win over the St. Louis Blues. … The 18-year-old can score from just about anywhere on the ice, whether that be uncorking a shot or getting into those gritty areas around the crease to deposit goals. Bedard also possesses spectacular vision on the ice, which allows him to get the puck to his teammates. He also is capable of using his 5-foot-10 frame to be physical and deliver some bone-jarring hits.”

So, who will win the awards and who will win all of it? Austin and Chris have made their predictions.

Here’s the whole thing else to get you able:

🏈 New No. 1 in CBS Sports 133, up to date College Football Power Rankings

It’s that superb time of 12 months after we get soccer, soccer and extra soccer. Yes, Week 7 of the school slate begins this night, and now we have FBS or NFL video games on a daily basis till Nov. 22. So we are bumping up Dennis Dodd’s Power Rankings and the CBS Sports 133 to Tuesdays.

Let’s get started with the CBS Sports 133, the place our CBS Sports school soccer professionals rank each and every unmarried group in the game. This week, they’re seeing issues slightly in a different way at the best with Michigan usurping Georgia for the No. 1 rating. It’s the first time the two-time reigning champion Bulldogs have fallen out of the best spot, although their dangle on the best of the scores has diminished over each and every of the final 4 weeks. Here’s the best 5.

1. Michigan (earlier: 2)
2. Georgia (1)
3. Florida State (5)
4. Ohio State (4)
5. Washington (6)

You can see Chip Patterson’s research of the largest risers and fallers right here.

Now let’s check out Dodd’s Power Rankings the place the best two might stay the similar, however Dennis has Oklahoma crashing the birthday party subsequent.

1. Georgia (earlier: 1) — “Finally, we’re writing about Carson Beck being a difference maker.”
2. Florida State (2) — “The Seminoles just keep getting stronger.”
3. Oklahoma (11) — “It only took two seasons for Brent Venables to get himself and the Sooners on their feet.”
4. Michigan (4) — “The Wolverines are in line for their third straight playoff berth.”
5. Ohio State (5) — “Kyle McCord (career-high 320 yards, pick six) is still arriving. Marvin Harrison Jr. (163 yards) is all the way back.”

Oklahoma wasn’t the largest riser, although. That honor belongs to Louisville, which jumped from twenty third to eleventh as “Jeff Brohm‘s magical first season continued with an upset of Notre Dame.” Dennis writes. The Fighting Irish have been the largest fallers, going from 8th to twenty second.
