Game 1 Recap: For the first couple of innings, my scoring estimate looked like a winner and, until the 6th inning, the game stayed reasonably close to the numbers shown by the spread's scoring model: 5-3 Read Sox vs. the predicted 6-1 final score.

Baby Steps

A Life-Factors Reading: Who Is Brett Kavanaugh?
I decided to test my Temperament and Character spread on Judge (now Justice) Brett Kavanaugh to see what kind of person it shows him to be.
