Astros -145

This may be the Astros only real shot at winning a game in this series and they have Hunter Brown pitching who has been lights out for the last couple months going 6 or 7 innings and giving up very few runs he also is 6-0 with an ERA of 2.39 vs the WSOX the WSOX are also throwing their ace and he has been pitching well but not as good as Brown lately and he has a 1-2 record with an ERA of 5.29 vs Houst I look for Houston’s bats to come alive early in this one and Brown pitching as he has if late and secure an Astros victory so I am on the Astros in GM 2

New York Yankees -134
Yankees appear to have the Red Sox's number winning 4 of the last 5 games against them
Yankees have outscored the Red Sox 34-3 in the last three games
Red Sox offense is nowhere to be found scoring 2 runs or less in four of their last five games
Yankees pitcher Fried on fire having allowed one earned run in four of his last five starts
Bullpens close to equal but the Red Sox have leaned on their relievers much more than the Yankees

Padres ML. They were so dominant in game 1 and as long as they get a half way decent start from Pivetta tonight the best bullpen in baseball will shut down the cubs in the later innings.

Padres o 3.5 ttl runs -135…off 8-0 win last night Padres offense has hit this number 11 of last 12 games…no reason to think it stops vs Gausman…hottest team in baseball hits the number again tonight

SD -136

SD has been very hot going 18-3 over the last 21 games while Chicago was 9-12. Since 2022 that the Wildcard game was expanded to a series, home teams that won the 1st game are 11-5 SU in the second game. Good luck

908 San Diego

San Diego is 29-12 as a Home Favorite
San Diego is 52-30 at Home
San Diego is 18-3 SU last 21 games
Cubs are 10-13 as a Road Dog
Cubs are 42-39 on the Road

MLB:

San Diego Padres -140

Padres are 5-0 in Pivetta’s last 5 starts as a favorite.
Padres are 5-0 in their last 5 Wild Card Round home games.
Padres are 5-0 in Pivettas last 5 starts on grass.
Nick Pivetta has a 1.42 ERA over his last seven starts.
Cub’s Gausman has a 5.40 ERA on road.
Teams that drop Game 1 of a best-of-three Wild Card matchup have advanced just 3 out of 24 times.

PHI 1H TmTtl o1.5 (-127) I think PHI gets off to a fast start. Top of line up has had good success against Mahle. Mahle was not good in last start.

Cubs/Padres Under 7 (+104 DK)

Petco at night with Pivetta (2.86 ERA, 42 K in 34.2 IP this year) for San Diego. Gausman still misses bats (184 K in 177.2 IP) even in a down ERA season, and the Cubs got blanked in Game 1 — that 8-run Padres blowout is pumping this total more than the pitching matchup.

Yankees -135 with fried. Think the Red Sox are dead. Yeah they had their hot streak during the year but for majority of it this Red Sox offense has been shit piss poor. Love fried as a Cali guy to dominate tonight and gray get touched up by a more powerful Yankees lineup with the lefties back in the lineup

Red Sox at Yankees | Red Sox ML +115

Sonny Gray's teams are 3-0 when he starts at Yankee Stadium
Max Fried's teams have lost 6 of his last 8 playoff starts

Yankees under 6.5.+100 Took this yesterday but coming back with it...The Red Sox have no offense and that probably won't change against Fried....Gray should limit the Yankees bats and if he gets in trouble we'll quickly see the Red Sox pen which has been good all year

White Sox +1 at -120

Sox start Sean Burke who is 11-7 with a 3.34 ERA. On the road that ERA drops all the way down to 2.58. He’s pitched twice against Houston going 11.2 innings and only giving up 2 runs. Hunter Brown starts for the Astros. He’s home ERA is 3.27. He has also pitched twice against his opponent, the Sox, and in 13 innings has given up 2 runs. Lean to the under 7.5 as well.

Braves under 7.5 two decent middle tier pictures taking them out today is gonna be more of a defensive game because of the playoff atmosphere take the under 7.5

Braves +105
Take the better team..
Braves got to Sanchez last time out..5 hits/3 runs/3 earned..
Last 5 starts...Sanchez gave up 2,2,5,6,3
Braves dominate today

New York Yankees ML -130 ML

I like New York here in what should be a pretty tight game. Gray is a good pitcher, but Fried gives the Yankees a chance to match him early, and I trust New York's lineup quite a bit more once you get past the starting pitching. The Yankees have more power throughout the order and are better equipped to win a 3-2 or 4-2 type of game with one big swing. At home with the deeper lineup and Fried on the mound, -130 feels reasonable.

Yankees vs Redsox
This season, Gray ranked in the bottom half of the league in average exit velocity and hard-hit rate. That flaw in his pitching is a death sentence against a power-reliant team like the Yankees.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Gray owns a 4.34 ERA over the past three meetings against New York.
Take Yankees bonus Yankees -1.5

u7.5 CWS / Houston

I like the under here. Both of these pitchers are at the top of their form to end the season and should continue in a playoff atmosphere. Burke his last 3 has gone 3-0 going 16+ innings giving up only 2 earned runs and 13 hits. Brown on the other side his last 3 has gone 15+ innings giving up only 7 hits and 2 earned runs. This should be 3-2 style game and an easy under
