No real value today, so I'm just taking a shot with the dog since MIL only 2-9 in Playoffs last 5 years, plus Quintana has pitched much better over last 7 starts. That and I just need action! randoms...

Wacha has dominated NYY even though not this year, KC the hot team with a better pen and much better D, Yankees may start off cold and take a bit to get flowing. +180 is ridiculous value IMHO, I'm pounding it!
Really surprised Mendoza is starting Senga in game 1 after he hasn't pitched in 10 weeks. Probably going to be a bullpen game for NY as I can't imagine Senga goes over 3-4 inn
Well we made it...the last series of the 2024 season with the 2 biggest markets both represented. Hard to believe the last time they met in the WS, 1981; Fernando-Mania was in full force and the series averaged 40 million viewers per game. This year, the MLB execs will be stoked if they can draw 20M per game. Baseball has certainly fallen off in the last quarter-century. Should be a great series anyway with the 3 best hitters in the game. Judge and Ohtani get most of the press, but Soto may be the best of them all, and with his free agency looming...a great showing will help him break the bank!

I like NYY in the series, but since I like doyers tonight, I'll wait to get better series price tomorrow. +120 just isn't that appealing...value-wise

Buehler is 0-1 w/6.00 ERA in a 2 postseason starts. He allowed 6 runs in 5 innings in G3 vs Pads and allowed 3 hits in 4 inn of an 8-0 win over NYM in G3 of the NLCS on Oct16. Once again, he rolls out for a Game 3. He has pitched twice in the World Series('18 vs BOS & '20 vs TB) going 13 inn while allowing only 5H, 1BB and 1ER with 17Ks and a 0.69 ERA. But arguably he was a much better pitcher then...still he has the experience.
Schmidt has thrown 9.1 inn in 2 starts allowing 9H, 3BB, 4ER with 6Ks and 3.86 ERA in 2 playoff starts this year(KC, CLE).
My season was not good, but I did manage to show profit in each of the last 3 months (AUG-OCT) after digging the biggest hole in the 11-week stretch from May 10th to Aug 1st. Still, I love baseball betting above all others...even after my 2nd straight disastrous season, and I can't wait to get back on track in 5 months.
