Even if he good the 15.5 outs for Flaherty I find hard to buy, Roberts a premature pitcher puller anyways. The problem the under is -160, am I that confident he doesn’t get 16 outs? He has actually cleared this in 3 of his 4 playoff starts. I will say a game 6 w rodon starting would be good for us!
Cole won’t walk Ohtani and there a book where to pitch him right now imo (cause the pain in his swing you can see the down and away a problem for him), I trust Cole will hit those spots so think that an automatic out to start game. Can he avoid freeman? He should def get pitched around, don’t have to walk him in 1st but assuming there 2 outs and nobody on you don’t give him anything he can drive, if he walks so be it, then you deal wit teoscar. So I don’t really see a 1st inning run for lad tonight. So maybe the way to play this is rock with yanks 1st inning +270 and back that up with no runs scored in 1st cause I feel like we can trust Cole to have a clean 1st, earlier in his career you could get him early but lately he been very good in 1st innings and with the free out I’m assuming Ohtani is if pitched correctly gotta like his chances. Yanks are the far more likely team to score in the 1st imo. So yea, 1st thought is to lead game off with yanks 1st +270 backed up by no runs -140. Feel confident we cash the +270 or break even if nobody scores.
