No joke, yesterday I saw the Angels as one of the later games as a decent sized dog, and thought I liked them. Told myself I would get back to it later after making the rest of the picks, and then totally spaced out on it, and forgot I had noted that game in my head. Of course it won. Pretty sure I would have fired on it, even (gasp) opposing a then-unstoppable Daly chalk streak. (Full disclosure, up until that point I agreed with all 9 of Daly's other chalk plays, and in fact almost bet them.)
