Figured I would give posting another shot for the playoffs. The bullpens pissed me off during the regular season and so I stopped posting and capping baseball. Hopefully that'll change during the playoffs, which I believe it will. I will keep all picks in this thread. Good luck all!
2005 Regular Season
YTD: 5-7-1
Units: -1.92
Futures:
AL Pennant: Chicago White Sox (+385) <1/3.85>
NL Pennant: Houston Astros (+300) <1/3>
World Series: Houston Astros/Chicago White Sox (+2100) <1/21>
Reasoning: The Astros and White Sox arguably have the two best pitching staffs in the playoffs. The only fear I have is that neither team scores a whole lot of runs and the pitching staff's may not get enough run support. However, the White Sox play great fundamental baseball (i.e. getting runners into scoring position by sacrificing) and I really love that about them. The Astros with Pettite, Oswalt, and Clemens have the best rotation (in my opinion), so they will be in every game and their offense should be able to get the job done.
Play:
Houston/Atlanta under 7.5 (-135) <1.35/1>
Futures are from multiple books.
All plays are from Skybook.
