Over the last 2 weeks of the season I turned a great year into a good year by going 106-116 for -122.5u from Sept 18 onward. If I would have stopped then, I would have finished +190 units for the season! That's fucking ugly, but I was hardheaded and wouldn't back down. Only saving grace is playoffs have been very profitable 3 of last 4 years, even on the heels of a bad Septembers, twice...so here's to turning it around and getting that fucking paper! LFG!
Yankees have the better lineup, better starter and better pen and at a decent number. Scary, but it appears the book is prodding us to take NY. Sox are a little better defensively with more speed but that defense cant go into the stands after the long ball. Cole's massive contract is for games like this, and he has come through time and time again in the postseason, mainly for the Astros. However, Cole didn't have a great September, allowing 37 hits and 19 earned runs through 33.1 innings, and BOS got 3 runs off him in 6 inn a little over a week ago. Eovaldi was better last month, allowing 32 hits and 14 earned runs through 32 innings, but he was rocked by the Yankees for 7 runs and seven hits in 2.2 innings in that same game vs Cole. It’s hard not to back the better lineup/starter. I also like both offenses and I don’t think the bats will stay quiet in this crucial game.
