I'm a Met fan to the bone, but even I'm getting caught up in the Padres' magic. So I'll betray my hometown and put $1,500 on Kevin Brown to lead the Pads past the imperfect Wells and the Yanks in Game One. Not that I'm a Yankee Hater or anything. On the Yale front, look for the invading Bulldogs to take Hanover by storm, winning in field hockey ($1,000) and football, breaking the Big Green Jinx ($1,000). In other action, women's golf will stay perfect and capture the ECAC crown ($1,000), and volleyball will sweep its three games ($500 each). Last Week: +$2,000.50. Current Balance: $13,800.50.

Admittedly, most of the credit for my recent winning ways is due to none other than the World Series-bound Yanks. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Now all those Yankee Haters who assured me I was aboard a sinking ship will simply have to eat their words as I bet another $3,000 on the Bombers being one win away from the from Title No. 24 by next Friday. Eli volleyball will sweep their two Ivy weekend matches, and beat Holy Cross on Wednesday ($1,000 each). Lastly, as all our varsity teams desert us for Hanover this weekend, give me $500 each on field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer. Last Week: +$3,500. Current Balance: $15,760.

As a Braves Fan/Yankee Hater/Last Place Smacker, needless to say, I am not a happy camper. But my luck's gonna change soon as you can say "Torre." Dartmouth might beat us in a boat race, but they ain't got a chance on the gridiron ($1,000). Or on the soccer field ($100 for men and women). Watch out for our male ruggers to smoosh Central Conn. ($1,000) on Saturday. In college football, look for the great state of Alabama to clean up, as UAB, Alabama, and Auburn all roll to victory ($500). Last Week: +$2,000. Current Balance: $10,200.

Yankee fans, it's been too easy for too long. Your luck ends in the first game of the World Series against the Pads ($500). This weekend Rashad Bartholemew will slash through Darthmouth's soft run defense and rush for 100 yards ($500), and Yale will win the game ($1,000). The Philadelphia Eagles will extend their winning streak to two games against hapless San Diego and hopeless Ryan Leaf ($500). BK: your domination in table tennis is over! Karna Basu and the SY ping pong dynamos will slam you ($1,000)! And, I'll take SY's Plattner and his tennis fiends to smash TD ($500).
Last Week: -$1,000. Current Balance: $13,201.
