As the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays prepare to take the field for Game 3 of the World Series, let’s get to the obvious question: After Luna, the 7-year-old Maltipoo, picked the Game 1 of the World Series wrong, did we start looking for another dog?
Might a Golden Retriever or Terrier serve us better with this man vs. dog World Series predictions contest?
After brief consideration … no!!! Of course not!!! Dogs are loyal, and so are we. Well, at least after Luna picked Game 2 correctly.
A quick recap: Luna, who started an NFL playoff predictions contest last year 8-0, predicted the Dodgers would win Game 1. Before they got bashed by the Blue Jays 11-4, that is.
You should have heard Luna whimper.
But she picked the Dodgers in Game 2, and sure enough the Dodgers avenged the Game 1 loss with a 5-1 victory over Blue Jays.
What about the men? Bob Nightengale and Gabe Lacques look in good position with each having picked the Dodgers to win the World Series in six games.
Luna has picked the Dodgers to win in seven games, and for Game 3 has picked Blue Jays to win at Dodger Stadium.
It’s a slightly confounding prediction, but win or lose, we’re sticking with this dog.
