Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Rather than play game to game, we will skip the first four games and bet $400 on the Brewers (-175, BetMGM) to win their first World Series. Pick it up in Game 5 (if necessary) and attempt to cut our heavy losses with football, basketball and hockey along the way.
