Man versus dog was the featured matchup when the World Series predictions contest began. But that’s unraveled thanks to the birds.
The Toronto Blue Jays, that is.
With the Blue Jays leading the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 heading into Game 6, man and dog might soon be commiserating rather than competing.
The men, Bob Nightengale and Gabe Lacques – esteemed baseball writers at USA TODAY Sports – both picked the Dodgers to win the World Series in six games. That’s impossible.
Luna, the 7-year-old Maltipoo, picked the Dodgers to win in seven games. That’s possible but perhaps unlikely with the final two games of the World Series set to be played in Toronto.
But Luna also has predicted the outcome of each game, and not with great accuracy. She is 2-3.
This contest could end with man and dog licking their wounds, and birds dancing atop their heads.
