There’s a lot of good physical comedy in Tag as the guys take some hellacious falls and blows in their ongoing attempt to not be it. Watching the reckless abandon with which they attempt to get and/or avoid one another is enjoyable, and basically turning Renner into a ninja was a clever touch — as was the slow-motion sequences where we can read their minds.

Although it won’t go down among the best RPG stories, Dragon Quest XI does more than enough with its plot to keep you moving forward, and the constant metering out of rewards and loot encourages no shortage of secondary exploration and completing of side missions. There’s tons of content here, a good bit of which opens up after you finish the main game.

Wong will probably need offseason surgery on his knee, but he’s off the DL now and is worth adding for the stretch drive. Remember that after an awful start he kept improving once May ended. In June, Wong started to show signs of life, flashed nice extra-base pop in July and then tore it up in August (915 OPS) before getting hurt. He’s actually been healthier this year compared to last season and has a career best in ISO. A superb contact hitter, Wong’s major issue has been staying on the field. Still, the Hawaiian native has shown he can hit for a better average (.285 last year) and his play since July proves that. Just bear in mind that he’s unlikely to play every day, so is mostly an NL-only league asset for now.

To be clear, Shenmue I & II are absent most modern conveniences, often making for a very deliberate experience where you’ll need to have multiple conversations to track down a location only to find it closed or the person you’re supposed to meet gone. It may feel quaint initially, but when the time spent milling about waiting for in-game hours to pass starts to pile up it can become rather taxing.

In his two previous outings, Betances earned a win and a save and before Thursday, he had gone over two weeks since last being scored on. Going back further, he’s been on a roll since the end of May, posting a 0.00 ERA in June and 0.90 mark in July. Generally, Betances has been very reliable this season, and — as per usual — he’s been a workhorse. There are concerns about his ability to handle the ninth inning (33 career saves, 18 blown), but he’s on the cusp of a fifth straight 100-K season, making him a useful asset whether he’s earning saves or not.

Dead Cells’ combat and exploration are exhilarating, and the rewards are metered out nicely. Basically, as you kill enemies some will drop cells. These are then used at the conclusion of levels to unlock new abilities, equipment and more. If you’re killed before reaching the end of a stage, however, you lose them all.

What is somewhat surprising, however, is that the three teams most favoured to win it all reside in the American League. Even though only one can reach the Fall Classic, the Red Sox (+325), Astros (+450) and Yankees (+700) have been the class of the majors from opening day, as evidenced by the fact that they boast MLB’s three best run differentials (+206, +221, and +154, respectively).
