Nats +205 to Win Series 1*

 

[Timh]

Yes, I am an admitted homer but I have to take a shot at this price. Nats pitching can definitely compete here, and I think this price is overstated.

 

[BJPLAYER]

Definitely overpriced but max going up against the modern-day Mickey Lolich...good luck

 

[tuck321]

In many ways I agree. Its just that Houston starts with a winner and will probably get 2 from him. Max has best catcher 2.08. Cole has best catcher 1.57 ERA a little better pen. Well lets let what happens happen

The Nationals took a risk by trading two top prospects. A title could be the reward.

The Nationals’ bats won Game 2, but it was Stephen Strasburg’s grit that set the stage

Teams that have 2-0 lead in WS, win 88% of the time which translates to -733 yet adjusted price is only at -230? Seems to be value on the Nats. Houston has Greinke in G3, and he has not had very good post season success or pitched well in big games. Hou also looking at bullpen game in Gm 4 vs. Corbin who has been excellent at home. Nats have Max and Stras lined up in G5, G6 respectfully.

As Max Scherzer wait continues, Nationals prepare for Game 6 as if it’s Game 7

Liking the Nats in gm. 7, team of destiny angle I mentioned during the Dodgers series. Do want support from a handicapping viewpoint, so waiting for confirmation on Scherzer and Suzuki.

 

[sportcap]

moved to correct thread..

 

[Stew Baker]

Maybe it was destiny that Scherzer couldn't go in gm. 5, when his best catcher was unavailable, and Cole was virtually unhittable. It may have been set up for a loss if he was ok, and then you'd have Sanchez, the lesser option start gm. 7. Waiting for Scherzer/Suzuki confirmations ....

 

[Stew Baker]

Scherzer/Suzuki confirmed on Rotowire.

Nats +128 for me.

Scherzer/Suzuki confirmed on Rotowire.

Nats +128 for me.

Yan Gomes catching now

 

[Stew Baker]

Yan Gomes catching now

That does change the story. Realistically one has consider there to be less of an edge. I'll be laying back -133 to reduce my bet, but I'll still be holding some.

Go Nats!

[DaRaiders]

The biggest reason the Nationals wanted Suzuki in tonight’s lineup: He has worked exceptionally well with Scherzer all season long. In 16 starts together, Scherzer owns a 2.08 ERA. In 12 starts with Gomes catching him, Scherzer’s ERA rises to 4.09.

 

[Timh]

Yes we will miss Kurt....not happy about it....

 

[Inspekdah]

No Kurt and Zach seems to do much better the second time facing a team these playoffs.

 

[Grind_4_Mine]

congrats, Tim!!

 

[emg2525]

Never in doubt!

 

[cashflowmatters]

Congrats Tim , nice job!

 

[Timh]

Thanks fellas, I don't know if my heart could take another game. So happy the Nats hung in there and won the WS!
