MLB 1-0 = +1
I know Cleveland fans are disappointed but if you step back and look at this whole thing I think you will be encouraged on the overall. The Tribe sucked last year. And they sucked for years before that. This year they went from losing 90+ games the year before to winning 90+ games. I know I got excited as well but objectively they would have had to match the 1969 Miracle Mets turnaround to really go very far and I don't know if anyone will ever do that again. So why should tribe fans be encouraged?
Because thanks to the chemistry on this team and Francona the old saying "Wait until next year" is no longer hollow and frustrating but it is now true. Add a piece here and there and Cleveland will be a force to be reckoned with. Every year, for years, the Cleveland faithful would get excited at the beginning of the season and it would fade as the Tribe faded sometime in June or July. But not next year. Give Francona the core he has now and add some to it and look out. I promise you tribe fans "Just wait until next year."
Sides: All for 5 units
Buffalo/Cleveland over 41 -110 (NFL)
UCLA/Utah over 61 -110 (NCAAF)
I listed those other sports first because I am more sure of them than I am these two MLB games tonight. And that should scare you like it does me because I suck in college football. I found these two playoff games very hard to cap so go slow but here goes.....
Pitt/St Louis over 6 1/2 -110
Pretty much guessing here because I don't like the total but I hate the sides. Both pitchers have done well recently so there is no reason for this to go over. But Burnett always walks too many. Wainwright is pretty tough but I think he has to go complete to keep this total down as both pens have struggled recently. Playing a hunch here as both pitchers, although they haven't shown it recently can blow up on occasion. All I need is 3 runs from each offense to win this. If you don't agree with this one I don't blame you.
Atlanta ML +130
I don't care who is pitching against them you can go broke taking the favorite on the road in Atlanta. And if you think giving the Braves runs at home to cut the odds is the way to go I assure you you are playing a very dangerous game. LA doesn't score for shit to begin with and now you would force them to win by 2 to collect any money? That is insane on this game with that matchup. I'm not even going to be diplomatic and say "Well you could win LA -1 1/2 runs." What I will say is "You are nuts to lay runs to the home team in this game."
Yes, Kershaw is very good but Medlen has been just as good recently. Want to use stats against me? In their last 10 starts Kershaw has allowed 16 runs and Medlen has allowed only 10. Also in those last 10 starts Kershaw has won 6, lost 3, and has 1 no decision. Medlen has won 7, lost 2, and 1 decision. Kershaw last 10 starts allowed 54 hits and Medlen last 10 starts allowed 45 hits. So if you don't like my statement that "Medlen has been just as good as Kershaw recently" then you are correct I am wrong. I should have correctly said "Medlen has been BETTER than Kershaw recently.
Now go take the road favorite or better yet give the home teams + runs so you can get better odds. GL
