John Smoltz says quiet part out loud about Brewers embarrassing Dodgers in NLCS - ClutchPoints
John Smoltz shared his thoughts on the Dodgers' immense struggles against the Brewers in the National League Championship Series. The Milwaukee Brewers shocked the MLB world by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. Milwaukee winning the series in competitive fashion wouldn't have been all that surprising, but getting the job done in only four games was impressive to say the least. Former MLB star pitcher John Smoltz, who was one of the broadcasters during the series, recently joined Flippin' Bats with Ben Verlander to discuss what went wrong for LA in the series. “Well the easy and lazy statement would be that they (Dodgers) got old,” Smoltz told Verlander. “But that's not fair. Getting old had nothing to do with hitting, it might have had something to do with defense… The Dodgers had to slug, they didn't slug. They had to hit with runners in scoring position, they didn't. They had three straight innings where they could have tied the game or taken the lead, they didn't. “Credit deserves on the other side, but when you're champions and you've been there, done that, that experience flip flops to you.

Islanders vs Maple Leafs Prediction, Picks, Prop Bets For October 17, 2026 - NHL - Covers.com
How can I not go with Auston Matthews after he's cashed this play for us in two straight games? He's clearly on another level now that he's healthy, and his shooting percentage (40%) is among the league's best on the man advantage. When Matthews is shooting, he's hitting twine - he has four goals across his last three games as a result. Let's pot one more against this stingy Islanders defense. I'm loving William Nylander's shot volume right now, as the Leafs winger has registered at least three shots on goal in four consecutive games. He's averaging 6.5 shot attempts per contest, the 23rd-highest mark in the NHL, giving us plenty of reason to believe his hot streak can continue. With the Islanders playing an undisciplined brand of hockey, watch for Willy on the power play to drive us over the line.
