Wednesday’s action produced three MLB series clinchers, a one-point FBS finish and five NBA preseason finals. Every game listed below is final. The recap covers games that started on October 7, 2026, Eastern Time; results describe the games themselves, not ISR’s paid-pick performance.
MLB: all final scores
| Matchup / box score | Final |
|---|---|
| Cleveland Guardians at Chicago White Sox | Cleveland Guardians 9–3 |
| Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves | Los Angeles Dodgers 4–1 |
| Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees | Tampa Bay Rays 4–3 |
| Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres | Milwaukee Brewers 3–1 |
- Cleveland extends the ALDS: José Ramírez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and Jo Adell drove in three in the 9–3 win. Cleveland pitchers struck out 19 White Sox batters; Foster Griffin recorded seven strikeouts in 2⅔ innings. Chicago’s series lead is now 2–1.
- Los Angeles advances: Andy Pages went 2-for-3 with two RBI, and Max Muncy hit a solo homer in the Dodgers’ 4–1 win. Tyler Glasnow allowed one hit and one run in 4⅔ innings, with five walks and five strikeouts. Los Angeles won the NLDS 3–1.
- Tampa Bay completes the sweep: Victor Mesa Jr. hit a two-run homer and Ryan Vilade added a solo shot in the Rays’ 4–3 win. Max Fried allowed four runs and two homers in 5⅔ innings. The Rays won the ALDS 3–0.
- Milwaukee closes out San Diego: Aaron Ashby supplied three scoreless, hitless relief innings after Robert Gasser’s four innings of one-run ball. Garrett Mitchell went 2-for-4 with an RBI; Fernando Tatis Jr.’s solo homer accounted for San Diego’s run. Milwaukee won the NLDS 3–1.
ISR analysis: The score alone hides different pitching paths. Glasnow’s five walks created a different kind of outing from Ashby’s hitless relief work. Cleveland’s strikeouts and bullpen innings are especially relevant to the next game’s personnel assessment; they do not guarantee another result.
NCAA Football FBS: all final scores
| Matchup / box score | Final |
|---|---|
| Jacksonville State Gamecocks at Kennesaw State Owls | Jacksonville State Gamecocks 27–26 |
| New Mexico State Aggies at Florida International Panthers | Florida International Panthers 22–3 |
- Jacksonville State wins by one: Caden Creel passed for 311 yards and one touchdown, and added a rushing touchdown. Kennesaw State’s Rickie Collins passed for 293 yards, while Brayden Munroe caught seven passes for 159 yards.
- Penalties and conversions matter: Kennesaw State outgained Jacksonville State 410–385. The teams combined for 26 penalties and 230 penalty yards. Kennesaw’s box score also records one unsuccessful extra-point attempt, illustrating the value of checking scoring details in a one-point final.
- FIU wins through defense and kicking: Robert Czeremcha made all five field-goal attempts, including a 52-yarder. FIU forced three turnovers and held New Mexico State to three points despite being outgained 230–220.
ISR analysis: Neither FBS winner needed a yardage advantage. That makes turnovers, penalties and scoring efficiency useful explanations of these games. Those events should still be separated from a repeatable offensive advantage when evaluating the teams’ next matchups.
NBA preseason: all final scores
| Matchup / box score | Final |
|---|---|
| Minnesota Timberwolves at Indiana Pacers | Indiana Pacers 123–112 |
| Orlando Magic at Memphis Grizzlies | Orlando Magic 122–118 |
| Milwaukee Bucks at Oklahoma City Thunder | Milwaukee Bucks 128–126 |
| Phoenix Suns at Chicago Bulls | Chicago Bulls 124–117 |
| Golden State Warriors at Portland Trail Blazers | Portland Trail Blazers 123–118 |
- Indiana takes the opener: Aaron Nesmith scored 19 points in 16 minutes in the Pacers’ 123–112 win. Anthony Edwards scored 19 in 20 minutes for Minnesota.
- Orlando and Milwaukee win close games: Tristan da Silva scored 19 for Orlando in its 122–118 win. Myles Turner scored 19 for Milwaukee in the 128–126 win at Oklahoma City; Thunder rookie Aday Mara scored 22.
- Chicago spreads its scoring: Caleb Wilson led the Bulls with 15 in their 124–117 win. Phoenix’s Dillon Brooks scored 24.
- Portland holds off Golden State: Deni Avdija scored 23 in 21 minutes in the Trail Blazers’ 123–118 win. Miles Kelly scored 24 for Golden State.
ISR analysis: These are preseason results. Minutes, substitutions and the units on the floor explain more than applying a regular-season interpretation to the final margin. A player’s short appearance and a developmental player’s longer run are different samples.

Betting notebook: results against named source lines
The table uses DraftKings lines displayed in ESPN’s individual game-summary odds records, checked October 8, 2026, at 7:55 a.m. EDT. These are explicitly identified source lines, not a claim about universal closing prices. Outcomes are calculated from the verified finals. MLB entries show total outcomes; football and basketball entries show spreads and totals.
| Game | Source line | Outcome against that line |
|---|---|---|
| CLE @ CHW | Total 7.5 | 12 runs: over |
| LAD @ ATL | Total 7.5 | 5 runs: under |
| TB @ NYY | Total 7 | 7 runs: push |
| MIL @ SD | Total 7.5 | 4 runs: under |
| JXST @ KENN | JXST -3; total 48.5 | Kennesaw State Owls +3 covered; 53 points: over |
| NMSU @ FIU | FIU -7; total 46.5 | Florida International Panthers covered; 25 points: under |
| MIN VS IND | MIN -2.5; total 237.5 | Indiana Pacers +2.5 covered; 235 points: under |
| ORL @ MEM | ORL -1.5; total 235.5 | Orlando Magic covered; 240 points: over |
| MIL @ OKC | OKC -12.5; total 218.5 | Milwaukee Bucks +12.5 covered; 254 points: over |
| PHX @ CHI | PHX -2.5; total 228.5 | Chicago Bulls +2.5 covered; 241 points: over |
| GS @ POR | POR -14.5; total 218.5 | Golden State Warriors +14.5 covered; 241 points: over |
ISR analysis: Tampa Bay’s 4–3 final lands exactly on the recorded seven-run total, producing a push against that number. Portland won by five but did not cover the listed 14.5-point spread. Those examples show why a winner and a market outcome must be described separately. No line movement is inferred, and these are not ISR paid-pick results.
