The Championship series get tougher for me every year so I suggest watching and being cautious. This first game is a toughy. Washington coming off the emotional come from behind win, traveling from coast to coast and the Cards winning easy with a short distance for travel. Washington has won 14 of 17. St Louis 10 of 17.
Both pitchers have been good in their playoff outings with Sanchez posting a 1.80 era, giving up 1er in 5 innings and only 2bb. Washington had won 7 of his last 10 reg season starts and his rd era is 3.48 almost a run better than at home.
Mikolas has a 1.50 era in 6 innings of work in the post season, giving up 3 hits and 2bb. He has a 3.01 hm era which is 2.4 runs better than his rd era.
I have a lean Washington. My plays are:
Yes 1st inning run - staying with the hot trend
Under 7.5 for the game.
