Location. Location. Location.
Elon Musk opened a Tesla Diner. In Hollywood. Robots take the orders and serve the food.
One week in, anti-Musk protestors assembled, holding signs that read 'Nazi Billionaire' and 'Boycott Tesla' before going in for dinner.
No truth to the rumor that the robot waiters are being programmed to spit in the food.
Playing tag team with the locals has worked well. Took the Yankees on Tuesday.
The Mets are in crime-free D.C. on Wednesday.
Kodai Senga has allowed three runs in his past 10 innings but went 0-1 in those two games.
That's a crime.
Fact is Kodai hasn't won since June 12 against (wait for it) the Nationals. Senga one-hit the Nats for 5 ²/₃.

Mets Tabbed Fit for Ex-Dodgers World Series Champ After Francisco Alvarez Injury
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Mets losing Francisco Alvarez to the injured list is a brutal blow, no doubt about it. Alvarez was in the middle of an extended hot streak since returning from a month-long reset in Triple-A. The 23-year-old is one of the best offensive catchers in the majors when he's right, and his thumb injury, which will eventually require surgery, could prevent him from returning at all this season, per Anthony DiComo of So not only will Luis Torrens have to step up in a huge way as the new starter, but the Mets will also need to find a reliable backup. They recalled Hayden Senger from Triple-A on Tuesday, but one baseball writer thinks they could also look into a more veteran option.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - OCTOBER 27: Austin Barnes #15 of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 in Game Six to win the 2020 MLB World Series at Globe Life Field on October 27, 2020 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images)On Wednesday, FanSided's Josue De Jesus suggested that the Mets could sign former Los Angeles Dodgers World Series champion catcher Austin Barnes as a free agent, after the San Francisco Giants released him earlier this month. "Even with his offensive struggles this season, Barnes brings an intangible value that the Mets desperately need. He has been a key contributor to two World Series champion Dodgers teams, providing him with invaluable postseason experience and a championship pedigree," wrote De Jesus. "He has an established reputation as a leader in the clubhouse and is known for his ability to handle a pitching staff. His expertise in calling games and working with a variety of pitchers would be a significant asset to a Mets rotation that has had its share of ups and downs." Barnes, 35, was a member of both Dodgers World Series teams this decade, even hitting a home run in the 2020 Fall Classic. He put up an abysmal .518 OPS in 13 major league games in LA earlier this season, though, and a .531 OPS in 13 minor-league games in the Giants organization. Here's where the signing might not make sense: With Torrens providing defensive value and plenty of familiarity with the pitching staff, the Mets could be more inclined to chase offensive upside from the backup catching role moving forward. Still, if the Mets decided that they wanted some extra insurance in case Senger (21 career games) falters, they could try to sneak Barnes onto the roster before the Aug. 31 signing deadline.

MLB bettors give up on struggling Yankees, Mets
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. New York baseball has fallen off precipitously after a torrid first half of the season. The Mets once had baseball's best record at 45–24, with odds to win the World Series getting as low as +800. Carlos Mendoza's group was among the favorites to win it all. That number has drifted to +1500 at DraftKings at the time of writing, making the Mets the 10th-favorite and putting them behind the Mariners, Blue Jays and Padres. The same can be said for the Yankees, who were +600 to win the World Series on June 30, fell to 11/1, and have rebounded a bit to +950 — tied for fifth-best — at DraftKings. The point remains clear: Baseball in the Big Apple is in big trouble as the calendar nears September and critical series are on the horizon for both teams. The Yankees play a four-game set with the Red Sox this weekend, while the Mets take on the Phillies next week. 'The Mets have certainly fallen off our power ratings,' DraftKings' Vegas-based director of sports betting Johnny Avello told The Post in a phone interview. 'We just raised them again to 15/1. There's no betting interest in them right now. Will they even make the playoffs?' Juan Soto joined the Mets after coming over from the Yankees this offseason. Bonnie Cash/UPI/Shutterstock Avello added that the vibes are undoubtedly low on the Mets throughout the betting market, showcased by the fact that sharp and recreational bettors appear to be avoiding them at all costs. 'They're in a freefall,' Avello said. ' And they're really playing poorly on the road … The sharp bettors are not interested in them anymore.' The 67-58 Mets are 25-34 on the road this season, and, from a futures perspective, it's looking grim as ever that the Mets can right the ship and make a run at a championship. Francisco Lindor and the Mets have critical upcoming series with the Phillies. Getty Images Things are not quite as bleak for the Yankees, although that's not necessarily because they are a better team. 'Not as grim for the Yanknees. Similar spot, but the teams that are behind them and in front of them make the difference,' Avello said. 'Not a whole lot of strength there. The Yankees have a favorable division. Their path is easier than the Mets. It shows in the odds.' The Yankees, 68-57, have the 26th-most challenging schedule left in the big leagues, which is certainly a boon for their future outlook as they battle for a playoff spot or even the AL East. Learn all you need to know about MLB Betting The Blue Jays also have a much tougher road going forward with the seventh-most challenging schedule in the sport. The Bombers entered Wednesday five games back of Toronto for first place in the American League East.
