The MLB postseason is a land of opportunity. Each of the 12 remaining teams' records have now reverted to 0-0, and any club could get hot at the right time and ride the wave to a World Series. The Dodgers won their second consecutive title in 2025, the first franchise to go back-to-back since the Yankees three-peated from 1998-2000. Los Angeles has a chance to match that feat, but it certainly isn't a lock. A total of 16 different teams have won the World Series since 2000. Here's the case for each 2026 postseason team to go all the way. AMERICAN LEAGUERaysDespite being picked to finish last in their division, the Rays were clearly the best team in the American League all season. That alone should be reason to believe in them. But they also have as much of a home-field advantage as anyone at Tropicana Field, so they should benefit from having it in the ALDS and, if they advance, the ALCS. They have legitimate, game-changing All-Stars in their lineup (Junior Caminero, Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda), rotation (Drew Rasmussen, Freddy Peralta, Nick Martinez) and bullpen (Bryan Baker), plus the typical depth that Tampa Bay’s best teams possess.

Three minutes after completing a high-intensity indoor cycling workout, the man collapsed. His wife heard the fall from another room and rushed in to find him unconscious, without a pulse. A physician, she immediately started CPR and used his smartwatch to call 911. The emergency medical team that arrived shortly thereafter confirmed ventricular fibrillation, a lethal heart rhythm. Despite nearly 40 minutes of advanced cardiac care including defibrillation shocks, they could not restart his heart. The patient’s case is the subject of a new study from Stanford Medicine researchers. It’s one of the most extensive individual profiles ever gathered from wearable device data, which revealed a dramatic change in the patient’s overall health months prior to his death. Besides his smartwatch, the patient also wore a smart ring, and his exercise bike had recorded seven years’ worth of data over 530 sessions.

HealthIn the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), health workers fighting the country’s largest-ever Ebola outbreak are struggling to overcome critical challenges to patient care, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Tuesday. The number of confirmed Ebola cases has passed 8,000 for the first time since the current outbreak began, according to the Congolese authorities. “While we are beginning to see a reduction in transmission in some areas, the number of cases remains high for this outbreak,” Dr Janet Diaz of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme told reporters in Geneva. With 8,067 confirmed cases and 3,901 deaths, the case fatality rate is more than 48 per cent in 63 affected health zones in seven out of DRC's 26 provinces. “We know that for Ebola disease, early access to care can significantly improve chances of survival,” Dr Diaz said. “Yet in this outbreak, many people are still dying at home or in their communities because they are unable to reach health facilities on time.”The WHO medic recently returned from her second visit to the DRC since the current Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus was declared in May.

Gesture ControlIllustration by Natalie FossBMW debuted this weird tech in 2015. Thanks to a sensor, you could control infotainment functions with hand movements without touching a button. Few liked it, and it lasted until 2025. It’s better to use a knob than to look like one. Audi UFO BrakesIllustration by Natalie FossIn a standard disc brake, the caliper sits on the outside of the disc. Unfortunately for Audi’s V8 executive sedan, the car’s 15-inch wheels didn’t allow for discs large enough to deal with the curb weight. Audi’s doomed solution? Mount the brake caliper on the inside of the rotor with a surround that looks a bit like a flying saucer. They were complex and expensive to replace. They died in the U. S. with the V8 sedan in 1994.

S., someone had the idea that a properly high-tech luxury car should talk to you. The Voice Warning system, which could issue alerts about an open door or an engaged parking brake, used tiny phonograph records at first. These days we make do with old-fashioned beeps and chimes.

US-Canada relations, already tense, are likely to deteriorate further after the United States went ahead early on Tuesday with a decision to ban nearly $1bn worth of Canadian imports, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles. The ban amounts to barely a ripple in $880bn worth of annual two-way trade between the two northern neighbors. But it marks another ratcheting up of Donald Trump’s second-term trade war with the US’s longtime ally and trading partner. The import ban “certainly won’t do anything to help the trade tensions between the United States and Canada’,’ said trade attorney Patrick Childress, a partner at Holland + Knight and a former US trade official. The latest sparring began over the summer when Trump reached back to a Great Depression law to impose 50% tariffs on about $20bn worth of Canadian imports, charging that Canada discriminates against US dairy, auto and alcoholic beverage producers. Canada promptly counterpunched with tariffs of 15%, 25% or 50%, matching US imports dollar for dollar. To punish Canada for retaliating against his tariffs, Trump decided to ban a list of Canadian products, effective 12.01 am Eastern time Tuesday.

Saturn's moon Enceladus is covered in ice, but beneath that frozen shell lies a global ocean. Near the moon's south pole, fractures in the crust release water vapor and ice particles into space. Those particles give scientists an unusual way to study an alien ocean without having to drill through kilometers of ice. An international team that includes researchers from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo has now investigated what happens to that ocean water as it moves from beneath the surface and eventually becomes the tiny ice grains detected in space.

The ‘Godzilla’ of weight-loss drugs could help improve blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation and cut a person’s body weight by a quarter, according to the largest study of its kind. Retatrutide mimics three key gut hormones that help control appetite, blood sugar and metabolism: GLP-1, GIP and glucagon. Unlike other drugs such as Wegovy, which primarily targets the GLP-1 pathway to suppress appetite, or Mounjaro, which contains GLP-1 plus GIP to control blood sugar levels, retatrutide also engages the glucagon receptor, which helps increase energy expenditure. The drug has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency. But the results of the global trial in people living with obesity and type 2 diabetes suggest it could help them shift enormous amounts of excess weight while also providing other important health benefits. “Retatrutide demonstrated substantial reduction in body weight alongside glycaemic control and cardiometabolic risk factors, with a safety profile generally similar to other molecules with GLP-1 receptor agonist activity,” the researchers said.
