The Dodgers are our unanimous pick to reach the World Series while we are essentially split down the middle in the American League, with the Rays being slight favourites there.

Match completed Sunday

3 players (John, Serene, Wes) had match winner correct

Our Game
I regret that the published predictions had an error: Wes’s prediction submission was, in actuality, Nadal 3 Djokovic 1.
Congratulations to Wes upon his first win in a tennis Prediction Challenge, and his 10th Prediction Challenge win overall, Wes earned top, or near-top, points in all four rounds. John and Petr earned second and third place and the remaining cash prizes.
I hope all players enjoyed this French Open Prediction Challenge! and the chance to match wits with other tennis fans! Thank you for playing! ~ Michael

Mercedes’s Lewis Hamilton has matched the career win record of Michael Schumacher with his 91st F1 victory at the Eifel GP, triumphing over the Red Bull of Max Verstappen at the Nurburgring, as Daniel Ricciardo secured his first podium for the Renault squad.
Top Point Drives of the Day
Our Game
In a race where all players scored acceptably well, Ian missed out only on the first row, where Max Verstappen was able to finish ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Ian now builds his lead out to 95 points over John Cavelti, and Danielle continues to hold down third place.

Mercedes continued their 100% pole position record for 2020 at the Eifel Grand Prix. But unlike the last five Grands Prix, it was Russian GP winner Valtteri Bottas rather than Lewis Hamilton who took P1 this time, ending up 0.256s ahead of his team mate – while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen secured his near-traditional P3 slot on the grid, but just 0.037s off Hamilton.
The Prediction Form is now available, based on the grid available at this time and is due by 23:00 Pacific Time Saturday.
Predictions will be tabulated and published before the Eifel Grand Prix begins.
Eifel Grand Prix Starting Grid as at 13:13 PDT
