I feel like there is great value in Astros -160. They will be favored in both home games and the game line for Game 1 is comparable +132/-142.

Kluber only start this year at Minute Maid; 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 10 K, 0 BB).
Carrasco at Minute Maid is 0-1, 7.2 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 6 K, 1 BB.
Verlander at home has struggled going 4-7 in 19 GS, 2.84 ERA.
Cole at home is 8-2 in 15 starts with a 2.99 ERA.
Keuchel at Progressive Field has a 3.00 ERA, 6 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 14 K

Woodruff getting the start for Brewers today

What do you think about him?

 

[Paulsy01]

Now it’s listed as Jennings

 

[Paulsy01]

Jenning faced one batter against St. Louis

 

[GWarner27]

these opener strategies seem like a much better idea in the regular season than against the best in the league

the bottom of what you posted seems like a great reason to take the odds on CLE? I lean that way and think the HOU rotation advantage is mitigated in the playoffs.

CLE lineup is deeper than they're being priced and i trust the CLE bullpen more than HOU and that's with Allen and Miller not at their best

 

[tuck321]

There is no question that Cleveland has good pitching. Relief pitching I am very uncertain. Houston is now very deep.

 

[GWarner27]

Houston is deep, but can we trust any of them like we trust Brad Hand? I don't think so, I also like what the numbers say for Oliver Perez and then i will likely be hoping Miller and to a lesser extent Allen return to what we know them as

Folty and ryu on 5.

Folty is real good on 4 & 5. Better away. Got dinged up 1 st v dodgers this year

Ryu has been beast at home and as of late, but not as good on 5 or at night. Still real good, just not amazing, ATL, has not seen him this year

 

[2daBank]

I played atl rl. -137 felt incredibly reasonable for a low total in a pitchers park.

Ryu has been beast at home and as of late, but not as good on 5 or at night. Still real good, just not amazing, ATL, has not seen him this year

What is a 5:30 start considered? Don't pay attention to ERA here. RYU way better at night. .88 WHIP vs 1.47 DAY! Somehow he hasn't given up runs but the average too during the day is awful, .329 vs. 186 at night.

.90 WHIP something special @ home, too.

Folty just consistent 1.08/.09 away/home/day/night all the same.

 

[Inspekdah]

Braves 4 games under .500 vs. LHP.

Folty not impressive vs. them earliest this year, either.
