After missing on a Paul Skenes Opening Day bet, a postseason pick backs Jacob Misiorowski and the Milwaukee Brewers over the Tampa Bay Rays.

We've been on the same team for just a little more than a year, after Blake joined USA TODAY Opinion, where Thuan has been an editor since 2005. But we've only seen each other at work over Microsoft Teams at the daily Opinion video meeting. Blake lives about 90 miles north of Tampa, Florida, and Thuan lives outside Washington, DC. The only time we've met in person was in late September, when Blake traveled to the nation's capital for an opinion journalism award ceremony.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays brought small ball back to baseball, ranking atop the league in batting average and sacrifice bunts.
