Postseason Record: 0-0, $0
It's been a while but PBTN returns for what should hopefully be a successful postseason run. Here are the first picks...
Padres ML (-135) *$270 to win $200*
Pads/Rox o9 (-110) *$110 to win $100*
It sucks for the Pads to have to use their ace in a one-game playoff and Game 3 of the NLDS IF they're fortunate enough to make it instead of not having to play a tie-breaker and Peavy starting game 1 vs. the Phils on Wednesday, but this is what happens when you can't close up shop (just ask the Mets). But this is the card they've been dealt and I feel like this guys are way too talented to sit back and watch a young team like the Rockies send them home. Granted the Rox are very talented and have been very successful and surprising this year, but I just don't see any value in Josh Fogg in such a key situation like this. Fogg used to pitch for my beloved White Sox for a short stint and you never heard anything about him being a stud in the making or a big-game pitcher. Of course he was young, but his career numbers at Coors prove that he's nothing special.
- Take the ace with the experience and track record in this huge game.
- I also see value in such a low total at Coors Field, so taking the over as a value bet more than anything. Both these teams RS/RA numbers (team RS + opp RA/2 then /162) average out to 9.2, factor in where they're playing and both these starting pitchers' career ERAs at Coors and you have a game that should hit 11 or more runs.
Hoping for a very good start to our postseason run.
Incase you aren't aware, this game will be on TBS.
