well shit...
won both K props today, but the Ms gonna fall behind 0-2. two swings from yordan, smh, or it could've been 2-0 Ms.
anyhow, i've posted a bit about the Clev/NYY series in a couple threads. also posted on a variety of topics...how i hate Manfred, my disdain for a strictly numbers guy like Cashman, how i feel MLB wants to end droughts, and that it was the Guardians year (especially after that play in the Rays series). not a tin foil hat kinda guy (in a stupid red hat that was made in china lol), but sticking to baseball, today's cancellation will really favor the dogs/the Guardians.
4 games in 4 days, so one of the games will be German or Taillon vs Plesac or Civale. But the real difference in the pitching staffs will be the bullpens, and not having a day off will further expose just how thin/bad the Yank's pen currently is. just look at the guys in there. wandy's a top 3 guy, for C's sake. any game that Luetge or Castro or Schmidt touches will mean runs against. There's Clay Holmes (praying he has control). Johnny Lasagna (who the Yank's coaches have totally messed up since LY), Wandy (yikes), Trevino (yikes, pt 2), and guys that I don't want to see enter the damn game.
So Yanks are up 1-0 in the series. 2 days off, so zero momentum...and looking at 4 games in 4 days. Yes, the Guardians struggle to produce offense...and I do trust Nestor and Sevy to pitch well...but beyond that, I gotta imagine that this is the spot where the value is highest.
Make no mistake, I'm 100% pulling for my (very flawed) team. But if I'm gonna have to suffer thru it, I might as well make some money off of it, right? So made a series bet...
Cleveland +310 for 1
Midges, Cashman's failures, and a shitty ass pen that Boone will no doubt somehow make worse.
Praying for Nestor and Sevy to deal 8 innings of shutout ball. In case that doesn't happen, this'll make it go down a bit easier.
