Kevin's Pick(s):
Awesome day yesterday as I went 2-0 including a 5 Star WINNER on the Royals and big underdog winner on the Orioles! The ALCS match up is set as the Royals and Orioles have a chance to advance to the World Series for the first time since the 80s. Both ballparks should provide an electric atmosphere and it should be a lot of fun. Two NLDS games going tonight and Kyle and I each have a pick...
2 UNIT = Los Angeles Dodgers @ St Louis Cardinals - CARDINALS TO WIN (+101)
Listed Pitchers: Ryu vs Lackey
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.02 units)
Kyle's Pick(s)
2 UNIT = Washington Nationals @ San Francisco Giants - UNDER 6.5 RUNS (-125)
Listed Pitchers: Fister vs. Bumgarner
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.60 units)
Abysmal start for me here in the postseason after a torrid run to end the regular season. Two World Series favorites are now on vacation, and the Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals advance. The Royals especially played spoiler, sending Mike Trout and Pujols packing without a win.
Both of those series resulted in sweeps, the Giants will be able to make it three sweeps with a win tonight. The Giants have been here before and are showing it. Bumgarner will get the ball for the second time this postseason, his first yielding a spectacular performance against the Pirates, clinching them a spot in this series. He went 9 innings allowing only 4 hits and no runs in a 8-0 win. Bumgarner has been great all season long, and in his last ten starts he went five starts giving up no runs or just a single run. Additionally, he's had a 2.42 ERA his last three starts, along with a 0.90 WHIP. He finished the season with a 2.98 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP. I think he'll ride the momentum from his last start into today. It could turn into a pitching duel, as Doug Fister has been on a roll as well. His last three produced an ERA of 1.66 with a 0.74 WHIP. Four out of his last ten starts he allowed no runs. He'll try and improve on his regular season ERA of 2.41. I see this as a tight 3-2 or 2-1 ballgame, so the UNDER 6.5 looks attractive.
