Covered action date: Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Eastern Time. All 15 scheduled games across the five covered sports are final: two FBS games, World Series Game 5 and 12 NBA games. A game finishing after midnight remains attached to its scheduled October 28 action date. This recap describes sports results, not ISR’s paid-pick performance.
MLB — Milwaukee completes its championship
| Matchup / box score | Away–home | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee Brewers at Tampa Bay Rays | 4–1 | Final |
- The Brewers beat Tampa Bay 4–1, winning the World Series four games to one and securing the franchise’s first title.
- Jacob Misiorowski allowed two hits over 5⅔ scoreless innings, with two strikeouts and one walk.
- Cooper Pratt went 2-for-3 with two RBIs. William Contreras and David Hamilton drove in Milwaukee’s other runs.
- Milwaukee finished with eight hits to Tampa Bay’s four. Trevor Megill recorded the final six outs, allowing the Rays’ lone run.
ISR analysis: Misiorowski’s length and Milwaukee’s relief execution resolved a game that followed Tuesday’s 12-inning loss. Wednesday’s result ended the series; there is no Game 6 to preview.
NCAA Football FBS — two finals
| Matchup / box score | Away–home | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Kennesaw State Owls at Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders | 44–28 | Final |
| Jacksonville State Gamecocks at New Mexico State Aggies | 24–0 | Final |
- Kennesaw State won 44–28 at Middle Tennessee. Rickie Collins completed 16 of 19 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns.
- Tywon Christopher returned an interception 59 yards for a score, while Boogie Woods III ran for two touchdowns.
- Jacksonville State shut out New Mexico State 24–0. Caden Creel rushed for a career-high 211 yards and a touchdown and added a passing touchdown.
- New Mexico State’s Adam Damante finished with 29 passing yards; James Jones rushed for 112. The Aggies’ rushing production did not translate into points.
ISR analysis: Kennesaw State’s defensive score and Jax State’s quarterback rushing belong in separate process notes. Team yardage alone would not explain either result.
NBA — all twelve finals
| Matchup / box score | Away–home | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks | 129–117 | Final |
| Washington Wizards at Cleveland Cavaliers | 111–121 | Final |
| Charlotte Hornets at Detroit Pistons | 89–97 | Final |
| Philadelphia 76ers at Indiana Pacers | 114–109 | Final |
| Orlando Magic at Toronto Raptors | 99–129 | Final |
| New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls | 133–127 | Final |
| Houston Rockets at Milwaukee Bucks | 132–100 | Final |
| Golden State Warriors at Minnesota Timberwolves | 119–114 | Final |
| Denver Nuggets at New Orleans Pelicans | 104–91 | Final |
| San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz | 117–111 | Final/OT |
| Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks | 96–120 | Final |
| Los Angeles Lakers at LA Clippers | 103–87 | Final |
- Dallas handed Oklahoma City its first loss, 120–96. Cooper Flagg led the Mavericks with 26 points and eight assists.
- Houston reached 5–0 with a 132–100 win at Milwaukee; Fred VanVleet scored 24.
- Victor Wembanyama had 36 points and 14 rebounds in San Antonio’s 117–111 overtime win at Utah.
- Quentin Grimes scored 23 as the Lakers beat the Clippers 103–87. Miami earned its first win, 129–117 at Atlanta, with Giannis Antetokounmpo supplying 24 points and 18 rebounds.
ISR analysis: A first loss for Oklahoma City, a first win for Miami and another Houston win illustrate how quickly early records change. Review the active players and possession-level work rather than assigning a new fixed identity after one result.
