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. Sean Rodriguez Jersey . Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. Francisco Cervelli Jersey . Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. http://www.cheappiratesjerseyschina.com/ .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. Willie Stargell Jersey . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. Dave Parker Jersey . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Dustin Johnson looked nothing like a major champion Thursday in the opening round of the PGA.The U.S. Open winner shot 77, including three straight bogey 5s, two double bogeys, and a bogey 6 on the 18th hole that nearly everyone was birdieing.In all, Johnson beat five players, three of them club pros, and pretty much played his way out of contention while paired with British Open champ Henrik Stenson (3-under 67) and Masters winner Danny Willett (1 over).Things went poorly from the start for Johnson, who just last week in the Canadian Open tied for second place, and has been on a tear for much of 2016. Aside from his emphatic victory at Oakmont for his first major, Johnson followed with a victory at Firestone and a ninth at the British Open. He also has made a tour-leading 25 consecutive PGA Tour cuts -- dating to the Honda Classic in March 2015, which he immediately put behind him by winning at Doral.That Johnson was nowhere to be seen in the brutal heat at Baltusrol. He didnt wilt so much as fall apart pretty much from the outset.Nothing worked. Not his prodigious driving skills; he was all over the place and hit only seven of 14 fairways. Not his scrambling; he even left a long bunker shot in the sand on No. 11. Not his approach shots; Johnson got on only 55.5 percent of the greens in regulation.And certainly not his putting. He ranked 138th on the greens.His black attire seemed appropriate for such a round.He had a couple of bad drives, Stenson said of Johnson. A couple of bad tee shots led to some bogeys. And then he missed a fairway bunker shot on 11 and wrapped up with a 6.Stenson noted it could happen tto anyone, even the second-ranked player in the world.ddddddddddddYeah, its major golf, the first major champion from Sweden added. Its a tough course. If youre not playing your best, its going to show up, and I think thats normal. If you are playing well, you can shoot a score. But if youre struggling and hit a couple of loose ones, its easy to go the other way.He just didnt have a good day out there. We all know what hes capable of doing with a golf ball and on a golf course. Im sure hell bounce back shortly.Johnson, playing for a third straight week for the third time this season, will need to bounce back in a big way Friday to sniff making the cut.Thats hardly where Johnson could have envisioned hed stand when he spoke on Wednesday. Asked about his consistency in major championships the last three years -- eight Top-10s, one win -- he said:Well, I like the majors, and I feel like they are always played on really tough golf courses, which I feel like I do very well on really hard golf courses where pars are good scores, where youve got to drive it in the fairway, youve got to hit it on the green. You know, youve really got to control your ball.I feel like it keeps me mentally in it longer. When Im on really tough golf courses, I feel like Im more focused because Im really trying to hit the ball to a certain spot, instead of a lot of times when I struggle sometimes is just staying mentally focused on every shot.The focus was gone Thursday, and with it likely went Johnsons chances to win a second major.
