Tonight, the team hopes to see a return on that investment. With Yamamoto pitching and Ohtani leading the offense, the Dodgers are just one win away from the World Series. They lead the National League Championship Series 2-1 against the New York Mets, after crushing them in two earlier games with scores of 9-0 and 8-0. Ohtani, who hit a huge home run in the last game, has had a bit of a rough postseason, batting only .226. But teammates like Mookie Betts aren’t worried. “He’s the best player on the field every day,” Betts said, urging fans to relax. “It’s Shohei. It’s fine.” Photo: Shohei Ohtani (Instagram) As for Yamamoto, his teammates believe he’s ready for the pressure. “Yoshi is a big-game pitcher, and his stuff makes him one of the best pitchers in the world,” said backup catcher Austin Barnes.

Payne, 31, fell from the CasaSur Palermo Hotel balcony on Wednesday. He reportedly fell from about 43 to 46 feet onto an internal patio.

Photo: Jake Paul (Instagram) Jake Paul is set to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas. But Paul, who is 27, has been warned he needs to improve quickly before stepping into the ring with the 58-year-old Tyson. Mike Tyson, known as one of the best boxers ever, won 44 out of 50 fights by knockout. Although he’s been retired since 2005, many people think Tyson still has the power to knock someone out, despite his age. Roy Jones Jr., who fought Tyson in 2020, says that Jake Paul will need to adjust his training or risk being knocked out. He believes that Tyson could win the fight early if Paul doesn’t prepare well enough. However, Jones also mentioned that if Paul can make it through the early rounds, he might have a chance, as Tyson could get tired due to his age.

The Chiefs are currently 5-0 and are set to play the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, in a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII.  Despite some injuries, the team is doing well, and Kelce has faced some early criticism for a slow start . However, Pat McAfee, a former NFL player and podcast guest, praised Kelce and his relationship with Taylor Swift.

Photo: Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift (Instagram) Travis Kelce had a bittersweet moment while attending a Yankees playoff game with Taylor Swift . The Kansas City Chiefs tight end joined Swift for a night at Yankee Stadium, where the New York Yankees faced off against the Cleveland Guardians in Game 1 of the ALCS. As an Ohio native, Kelce was torn because he’s a fan of the Guardians but found himself in Yankees territory. He talked about it on his podcast, “New Heights,” saying, “I’m from Cleveland, so of course, I want to see the Guardians win the World Series. But I was having fun with Taylor and our friends. It was still a great experience, even though the Guardians didn’t win.” The Yankees took the game, winning 5-2, thanks to home runs by Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton. Kelce described the atmosphere, saying, “Every pitch matters in the playoffs, and when Stanton and Soto hit those home runs, the ball just flies off the bat. It’s crazy.” Photo: Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift (Instagram

On August 20, the 55-year-old singer and actress officially filed the papers, two years after they got married. The couple had been separated since April, and though there was a brief moment where they considered getting back together in September, it seems the divorce is moving forward.

Lopez, known for her success in music, movies, and modeling, is aiming for a new beginning. "She wanted to ditch the glasses and contacts and see the world clearly," the source added.

The fight between the boxing legend and YouTuber Jake Paul is now set for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas. Originally, the fight was scheduled for July but was delayed because Tyson, 58, had health issues . Some in the boxing world doubt the fight, calling it more of an entertainment show than a real contest. Cruiserweight champion Gilberto Ramirez said, "It’s all for business and entertainment. Mike is getting older, and Jake Paul is in his prime." Tyson last fought in 2005, while Paul, 27, has been boxing for four years. Many worry about Tyson’s age and health, but his former trainer, Jeff Fenech, thinks Tyson can still win. He said, "If Mike stays focused, uses his head movement, and makes Jake miss, the fight could be over in 30 seconds." Photo: Mike Tyson (Instagram) Some, like promoter Eddie Hearn, are concer
