Well the winning continues. I am going to post my plays in the order the games are played.
4* Houston
Houston has won their last 18 h gms. They are 7-2 when Backe has pitched this yr, including 4-0 at h. In his 4 home games he went 5 innings twice and 7 innings twice and gave up only 2,1,1,0 runs including against St L & the Cubs. Meanwhile John Thomson for Atlanta (didn't he coach hoops at Georgetown?) was 11-7 on the road and the team a respectable 20-13 overall.
The playoffs bring some unique happenings and while these pitchers could buckle to the pressure and give up some runs, but both have been solid and the under is my lean.
MN/NYY - I think the Yankees end it today, but how can I go against Santana who hasn't given up more then 3 runs since June 3rd and only has given up 3 runs twice dating back to Aug 7th. I don't like the fact that a lot of good pitchers have gone to the hill in the playoffs on 3 days rest, and he is going out in midafternoon, and there record is 16-29. I can't play the under because of Valdez and I can't play the over because of Santana. PASS
5* Underdog Division Series GOY - Dodgers
How can I pick the Dodgers against the mighty Cards? Well, LA is 13-1 with Lima on the hill at h. Meanwhile, St L is just 8-8 with Morris on the rd. The home team has won every game but one this yr. Morris has only had 3 quality starts in his past 14 road games. On the other hand Lima has been solid with eight straight quality starts at h, only giving up 3 runs twice. Dodgers stay alive with a win against the mighty Cards.
3* Dodgers over 9
These two teams have gone over the total 12 of last 15 and the over is 20-9 for LA last 29 so why change now?
Overall record:
7* 1-0
5* 5-2
4* 5-1
3.5* 1-0
3* 0-3
At least I think this is what it is, I'll confirm it in the morning.
