2014 MLB Postseason: LDS & LCS Discussions

Pretty much a regular
Have not seen a thread up yet. Maybe someone can cut and paste the schedule/odds.

Been breaking down the SF/Pit game and really like Pit here. Pit has been a monster at home all season. They have one of the best home field advantages in baseball. Anyone who attended the playoff games last season knows the crowd will be electric. Really a great experience if you can get there.

SF has performed well at PNC Park over the years but that has tapered off since the Pirates team has improved. Pit is 4-2 vs SF this season. They beat Madison in SF earlier this year. SF has not seen Volquez this year. He faced them a few times back in 2013, but he is a much better pitcher this year. I was not at all surprised the team started Cole yesterday and did not save him for this game. I think the organization has a ton of confidence in EV and he has pitched lights out the past couple months.

Lean KC and under in the AL game. Will be adding more thoughts over the next two days, but wanted to get this started.
 
C-MAN any word on the Rus injury? I would lean pitt more with him in the line up..

Lean Oaktown in the other one, both pitchers with experience, but the first playoff game for those youngsters as opposed to Oakland already have played in the post season.
 
Rus is experiencing tightness in his left hamstring and is officially listed as questionable, but there is little doubt he will be in the lineup on Wed. Will update if I hear anything else.

I will add thoughts as time permits, but I like KC bats better vs LHP and I do not like the way Oak backed into the playoffs with a sub .500 September. I like Lester but Shields no slouch. I did not like the trades Oakland made this year. I understand wanting to approve the pitching staff but losing Ces was a huge blow to their offense. Atmosphere in KC should be pretty exciting.

agree about the trade, def dont' think that Shields is a slouch at all.. we'll see where that line travels, should be telling..hoping people hit KC...
 
My initial lean is KC but not sure I'm going to make a play on either side. Will consider the under as I like both pictures and dislike both offenses. Still have to dig into this one a little more.

I lean KC with big game James on the hill. Oakland looked like shit down the stretch and the bats have fallen off. Under might actually be a better play.
 
Yeah Cogen. 2 big game pitchers. 2 average offenses. And would not be shocked to see Kansas City play a little tight.
 
The more I look the more I like Pittsburgh. Kudos to San Fran for making it to the postseason without Belt and
Pagan much of the year but this is not their year. Pirates have the best home record in the National League. In my opinion they have the best lineup in the National League (I understand some would argue Wash lineup is better). I think they have a better all-around team than they did last season and losing at this stage would be a huge disappointment for them. They may not have a big-name pitcher going but Volquez has been solid all year. Only chance I give San Fran is if Madison pitches his ass off.
 
Hey guys, apologies in advance if this is a dumb question, but when does MLB generally announce the ALDS and NLDS times. Have tickets to Games 1 and 2 in Baltimore and trying to plan...

Thanks all
 
Baltimore should not be the 3rd most likely in the AL and DET should not be favored over them either

Agree, hope we get a good ump
 
Jfc I know Kershaw is great but giving Wainwright +187 is insane.

Volquez sucks and huge coaching mismatch in this one. SF coming across country to a stadium that will be loud but I think they win tomorrow.

Lots of smart folks I know are on the KC/OAK Under 6.5

I love the play, as I see a small ball type game of 2-1. HOWEVER, I can also envision a scenario where "Big Game" James implodes. Shields is well-documented 2-4 with an ERA just under 5.00 in the playoffs. That's scary.

Smart guys and this guy:

"My 20 Dime selection is on the A's and Royals Under the posted total
The current line on this game 6 1/2 in Vegas and offshore.
In a nutshell, wouldn't surprise me if the final is 1-0, 2-1 or 3-2." - Brandon Lang
 
When the A’s have been a road underdog of even money to +125 this season, they have gone 2-11 SU. When they have been on the road and the total is 7 or less, they are 4-15 SU.

KC is 19-7 SU as a -130 or less short home fave this season.

Off the top of the head it's hard to go against the 'people's champ' Royals. KC will be buzzing after the Chiefs rolled the Pats last night.

Problem is I'm not a fan of going against Lester...

Lester went 2-0 with a 0.59 ERA in last season’s World Series for Boston and has gone 6-4 with a 2.35 ERA in 11 starts since Oakland acquired him from the Red Sox. He was 3-0 with a 2.61 ERA against the Royals this season – two of the wins came with Oakland – and has career marks of 9-3 and 1.84 in 13 career starts against Kansas City. Lester went 3-2 with a 2.00 ERA in five September starts and his postseason numbers line up this way: 6-4 and 2.11 in 13 career appearances (11 starts).
 
we have two top 10 bullpens in terms of ERA tonight. trying to find a good angle on this one as I'm finding it really tough to pick a side.
 
Anyone have Eric Hosmer career numbers vs. Lester? Looking at the Moss v. Hosmer prop. Moss has been really cold down the stretch. Aside from the last series v. CWS, Hosmer has been pretty hot.
 
anyone else think Wainwright at +187 is silly?
I get Kershaw is great, but his post-season numbers are less than stellar and Wainwright is a total stud. Think I'll be on the Red Birds.

Love the story in KC, but how can anyone go with Shields over Lester at basically even odds?
Click to expand...

last AB, low-scoring games tend to go under and that correlates to the home team, OAK has been a disaster/their lineup is terrible tonight, Big Game James, best bullpen in the game, better defensively
 
thanks jdog. I am looking hard at: player to have more total bases: Hosmer pk -110 v. Moss. In a similer number of plate appearances, Hosmer has a .471 OBP v. Lester and Moss has a .214 OBP v. Shields. Moss has been absolute dogshit the 2nd half of the season for Oak. Hosmer has been hot since coming off the DL.

moss is definitely the guy more likely to K, but also most likely to get 4 total bases in one swing when it'd take Hosmer two
 
I went with these three props for tonight:

Cain more TB than Crisp -120
- just not in love with the way Crisp is swinging the bat. He's been dinged all year with neck injuries and just doesn't seem right to me. Cain has been hot and has pretty good numbers vs Lester.

Reddick more TB than Butler -120
- Reddick hot and seems James well. Butler cold and doesn't hit Lester at all

Aoki more H, R & RBI than Crisp -120
- see above for my feelings on Crisp and Aoki has success against Lester.

Also played Wainwright +190 vs Kershaw. Never a solid feeling going into a game against Kershaw but I just think this number is about .40 too high. Cards actually have better numbers vs Kershaw than Dodgers do vs Wainwright (overall). Think I have the better manager in Matheny over Mattingly and don't see any reason this Cards team can't steal one in LA.
 
I like both home teams in WC games and Under in Kc

played Bal +115 G1,Tillman 2.54 home .224 avg against and 4.31 road, Det bats .236 vs Tillman who went 8.1 ip allowing 1er @ Det this season, Max better numbers home than away, some Balt bats w/ some nice #'s vs Max.. if i win that will be on Det series going into G2..better rotation imo

chance i may stab Stl G1, do feel the value is there, not sure i trust Stl vs Lhp though..if i sit and they lose i love them in G2 and may also add Stl series
 
Oakland's been in a free fall for two months. Like the Royals at home at pretty much a pick 'em. Like both the WC home teams.
 
I thought about playing Cain vs Crisp as well. I don't have the numbers to back it up but it just seems like Crisp has shown up in the playoffs (from my recollection) so I decided against it.

anyone else think Wainwright at +187 is silly?
I get Kershaw is great, but his post-season numbers are less than stellar and Wainwright is a total stud. Think I'll be on the Red Birds.

not to mention cards prob give kershaw as many problems as any team does..prob gonna approach this series same as last season and chase the road doggie, think they split in both cities and goes back to la for gm 5..

I thought about playing Cain vs Crisp as well. I don't have the numbers to back it up but it just seems like Crisp has shown up in the playoffs (from my recollection) so I decided against it.

cain is much better trying to drive in runs (though he hasn't shown it) than being an on-base guy mainly because he's can't be worse at that, so I think what Ned Yost is doing makes a lot of sense
 
Pit ml

home/dog in 1 game playoff, count me in..Volquez solid season but 3.65 era pre all star and 2.20 era post, well balanced season era wise hm and rd 3.06 h and 3.01 r but .225 avg vs hm compared to .248 avg vs rd..Bum was great rd season but knocked out after 4 vs Pit this season allowing 5 ER's..SF west to east and Pit good HFA
 
I think the teams who've made multiple p.s. appearance the last 3-4 years are all a danger to bow out early. Had this thought before the Oak/KC game, though the A's had only made 2 appearances in the period I've referenced (the last 2 seasons, & lost both series they played), whereas SF, STL & DET have all played in a heap of individual series within this period (the latter 2 teams appearing in their respective league's last 3 championship series). I won't be putting my money on stale teams facing fresh names (Angel's 1st p.s. appearance since '10, O's & Dodgers just 3 series between themsevles over this period, Royals obviously none) relative to games that are crucial towards overall series results.

you think it has to do with fatigue? sort of like the Bruins in hockey and their legs giving out with the amount of games they had to play wityh the reg and post season and deep runs for the cup?
