Reds at Phillies
Pick: Phillies -1.5
Roy Halladay has been brilliant for the Phillies this season and finally gets to pitch in the Playoffs. He is clearly capable of pitching deep into this game as he averaged averaged 7.6 innings per start, tied for tops in the majors with Texas' Cliff Lee. He faced the Reds twice in 2010 putting forth a decent effort on the road but a brilliant effort at home, pitching 9 innings of shutout ball, allowing just 5 hits in a game won by the Phils 1-0 in 11 innings. The Reds' Edinson Volquez has solid stuff but fashioned a rather ordinary season. Though he did fare well against lefties the pressure of the post season and the experience of the Phillies likely causes problems in the middle innings. The Phillies are too high priced to play straight but laying a run and a half at roughly even money is a solid alternative.

NY Yankees Over (7) for 2 Units
Tonight's total set low on account of the Twins' last 6 playoff games all "under", the series at 2-4 O/U this season, and because of the quality of pitching matchup. However, the both of these lineups should do well driving in runs tonight. The Twins, despite the loss of Morneau, are very capable of driving in runs. They continued to be in the upper echelon of the league in batting average, on base%, and slugging% throughout his absence. The Twins are 4-0 O/U in game 1 of a series and 6-1 O/U vshttp://advancedpayroll.com/webclockemployer.php a team with a winning road record. Sabathia is a great road pitcher but not unhittable. And we don't believe he'll go the distance, which leaves a spotty NY bullpen on the hill late. Sabathia is 9-3 O/U as a favorite of -110 to -150. On the other hand, Francisco Liriano struggled mightily down the stretch and may struggle to regain form vs the explosive lineup of NY. Liriano has an excellent slider and the Yankees struggled with it (.190 BA); however, his fastball was hit hard (.400 BA) and he will need a good fastball to set up the slider. And based on what he did down the stretch, it will be difficult for him to get back in rhythm painting the plate with it. Liriano is 4-1 O/U when the 'total' is set in this range at home,and he's 3-1-1 O/U as a dog. NY batted a healthy .295 vs lefties down the stretch of the season and should follow up strong here. Both of these teams are a combined 26-8-3 O/U following a day off. "Over" the call.
