The Mets have a chance to win this series on the road against the Dodgers, and they’ll feel pretty good about themselves with Zack Wheeler on the mound. New York are playing for nothing more than bragging rights and stats, which is exactly what Wheeler has compiled this season. He induced a ton of ground balls last time out, and aside from Jacob de Grom, has been the Mets biggest success story this year. If the bats can stay hot, Wheeler, and New York should earn the win.
Just two days removed from a five set slugfest against the Fed Express, John Millman now tackles the The Serbinator in the quarter-final of the U.S. Open. Millman’s efforts against Federer were extraordinary, lacing some brilliant shots to keep the 37-year old guessing all night. After such an exhausting match, it’s unlikely Millman pulls off the unthinkable twice, but he could easily pinch a set against Djokovic if he continues to serve with precision.
Tonight’s opening qualifying final match is huge, and it presents as a nice little test for the reigning premiers against one of September’s ultimate specialists. The Hawks will be happy knowing they get a free crack at the premiers, and although this game should be close, it’s likely their back-line lets them down. James Sicily is a huge inclusion, but how will the Hawks handle Jack Riewoldt tonight? The Coleman Medalist booted four goals on Hawthorn back in Round 3, and he should prove a tough task for Alastair Clarkson’s side tonight.
