Cleveland retook the lead in the World Series last night, and the Indians did it with a severe degree-of-difficulty handicap. Lets list some of the factors working against them:Starting a home run-prone, fly ball pitcher in Wrigley Field with the wind blowing out to left? Check.Forcing one of the teams leading hitters to play left field for the first time in four years? Check.Facing MLBs 2016 ERA champ? Check.Dealing with some questionable decisions from the plate umpire? Check.Despite all this, Cleveland recaptured home-field advantage in Game 3 and is firmly in command of the Fall Classic.For the first time since the Series began, the Indians (at -135) are favored to win the World Series. No matter what happens in the next two games, if Chicago is to win the Series, Cleveland has forced the Cubs to return to Progressive Field to do so.Unthinkable just 24 hours ago though, Cleveland is in position to realistically capture the Series in Wrigley. Corey Kluber returns Saturday on short rest after a dominant performance in Game 1 while the Cubs send John Lackey to the mound after two uneven starts earlier in the playoffs.Our Chalk baseball handicappers have been vocal in their support of the Cubs so far. Lets see if Joe Peta, who dropped to 1-1 on the Series (-1 unit) with last nights loss on Chicago, and Dave Tuley have changed their tune. Tuley might be holding a Cubs ticket to win (recommended at the discounted price of -115 after Game 1), but his third successful under call last night moved him to 3-1 (+1.93 units) for the Series.

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins are 0-3 on the road as they begin a two-game West Coast swing in San Diego, where they lost last year, and theyre also 0-3 in the Pacific Time Zone since 2011.But the Dolphins headed to the airport Thursday flying high thanks to a three-game winning streak , all achieved at home.Were excited about this opportunity, running back Jay Ajayi said. We know the challenge of whats in front of us, that its not going to be easy traveling coast to coast, but were excited about our opponent this weekend, and it should be fun.After playing the Chargers, the Dolphins (4-4) will spend next week in Carlsbad, California, and then play the Rams in Los Angeles on Nov. 20. Its the first time the Dolphins have played back-to-back West Coast games since 2004, and a first for most of the players, including seven-year veteran Ndamukong Suh.I find it fun to get away, Suh said. A lot of team bonding, which I think will be good for us.The trip means big change in a sport where theres a rhythm to the weekly routine, both at work and at home.Being away from home, obviously, is a challenge, especially for guys that have families, said quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who recently became a first-time father. To prepare and get your body and mind ready to go when youre out of your normal routine, thats going to be the challenge.Miami has overcome every challenge lately, with victories over the Steelers, Bills and Jets during an NFL-record 44-day homestand. The streak represented a turnaround after a 1-4 start that included road losses at Seattle, New England and Tennessee.The Dolphins believe theyre much-improved lately under first-year coach Adam Gase.When you face adversity and you find a way to persevere, I think it gives you a lot of confidence, Tannehill. The past couple weeks weve been down in games and there has been no panic. There have been no tremors on the sideline of, `OK, here we go, or, `What are we going to do now? Its, ``Were going to be able to find a way to win the game.dddddddddddd When you have that attitude, that mindset -- whether its offense or defense -- youre going to win a lot of games.Thats what the Dolphins have done lately, and they have a chance at their first four-game winning streak since 2008, their most recent playoff season.There are benefits to taking a team on the road, Gase said, which he witnessed when the Dolphins opened the season at Seattle.We saw a lot of guys going out to eat together, and it wasnt guys that you would expect to see gravitate toward each other, he said. We did think that was a good thing for us at that time. Weve had four home games in a row, weve been here for quite a while, and getting away will probably be a good thing for us.The game will be the first in San Diego since voters overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would have raised $1.15 billion from increased hotel occupancy taxes to help pay for a new stadium, raising anew speculation the Chargers might move.Theyre last in the AFC West at 4-5, but theyre 3-1 at home, and beat Miami 30-14 in San Diego last December.Were a whole different team this year than we were last year, said Ajayi, who has led the Dolphins turnaround by rushing for 529 yards in the past three games.Gase isnt too worried about the temptations of Southern California during his players free time next week -- although he has considered a curfew.Hopefully weve got enough guys that are leaders that will step up and remind guys, `Dont ruin this for everybody, Gase said.
