Puzzle #69: Sports Betting

 Hey folks!

Back this week with a themeless I think you'll really enjoy! This one came about as a result of a bet between Brian Thomas and myself. Brian's Mariners were playing my Twins, and we agreed that the loser of the series would make a puzzle using a seed entry suggested by the winner. Our teams ended up splitting the series 2-2, and here's my puzzle! 

Thanks to Brian for the idea, which I hope catches on more, and for helping to test this one out--thanks also to Kate for her help with this one.

    Had to look up the 22-Across reference, haha.

    By the way, I'm interested in including the puzzles from Half Baked Puzzles in a crossword game I'm developing for PICO-8 (it's like a retro console). It'll be online-only, free to play, and non-commercial. The game will automatically pull your latest 14 or so puzzles from Amuse Labs for the player to solve. Do I have your permission to do this?
