For old time's sake... :tiphat:
As for series, here's what I like:
Tampa in 3 (Jays will give them a huge scare.)
Cleveland in 2 (Even with some elite talent, this is just the worst Yankee team at times. Zero fundamentals, and disgusting to watch when things go sideways...which is quite often. Too much negative to talk about, so I won't. But then again, there could always be a bit of reverse psychology going on here.)
Houston in 3 (Not vs the Yanks, but Minny can't win a playoff game. Plus it's the MLB, where cheaters do prosper.)
Chicago in 3 (My least confident AL pick.)
Los Angeles in 2 (Sorry, Nick.)
San Diego in 2 (Gotta root for this squad.)
Chicago in 3 (No Bartman this time.)
Cincy in 3 (Both bullpens will give up runs though.)
Series prediction = CLE over SD. One way or another, because MLB wants it this way, we'll be seeing a new champion...or an old drought broken, in this case. That means a team like Tampa or Cleveland will be playing a team like Los Angeles or San Diego in the Series. (Can't have an under .500 team make it. That would be more of an embarrassment than the all wild card world series was a few years back.)
Anyhow, my plays for 9/29:
Indians -104
Asstros +156
Blue Jays +176
Jays/Rays ov7.5 +105
White Sox -117
All half unit plays. You can argue that you'll never get better value for either Cole or Bieber in this one. Part of me thinks that if the Yanks could steal a game, this is it...even with Tanaka the next day, who's been clutch in the playoffs. Then the other part of me remembers the team I've been watching all year. The Tribe has everything going for it right now, so fuck it, I win either way. ;-)
Lastly, my first play for 9/30:
Reds +125
I'm not really a fan of this set up, or what Manfred has been doing to the game (in general), but it's f'n 2020...so I'll take any baseball that I can get...and if nothing else, this one-off postseason has the potential to get exciting, even if it's designed for BS and randomness.
Take care :cheers3:
