Story summary

On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez made his debut on "Dancing With the Stars," one day after Matthew Rhys won for "Best Actor in a Comedy" at the Emmys. The article shifts focus to baseball, noting that if the San Diego Padres are going to make the postseason, they need every win possible. The Colorado Rockies, who have struggled with rookie pitcher Mason Adams giving up five home runs in four starts, seem like an opportune opponent for the Padres. Robbie Ray of the Padres recently achieved his 100th win but has allowed 10 runs over his last 7⅓ innings. The article recommends betting on the Padres at odds of -170 through BetMGM.
