2012 MLB O/U Season Record: 361-329-47, -$1,490 (Was making much bigger bets earlier in the year, with countless fluke bad breaks, obviously. I also undoubtedly lead the country in half-run/one-run losses)
2011 MLB O/U Season Record: 366-270-42, +$1,104
Well, here we have a Game 7 between the two past World Series Champions... and I just feel like my mind has somewhat checked out. My "feel" for baseball over this past week, which has been spot-on into it every single day for the past six-plus months, just hasn't been as exuberant as it usually is. That might be due to my wild 60-plus-percent hit-rate success in football, which perhaps has shifted my mentality away from baseball a bit - I just don't know. But of course, I'm not going to take a day off so let's see what I have...
Kyle Lohse vs Matt Cain OVER 6.5 - $23 for $20
Yup, small bet for the minimum again because of my feel, or lack of for that matter. I'm sure once the World Series starts, I'll be back into it again with my extreme mentality and feel in check, as that'll be it for the year, but as of now, I'm just not feeling it as much. In any case, I'm going to roll with this over, though, for a couple of reasons. One, the Matt Cain we have witnessed this postseason is not the Matt Cain we have grown accustomed to over these past few years. In fact, he's given up three runs in each of his three postseason starts - a streak he did not experience AT ALL throughout his entire 2012 season (31 starts). That's quite remarkable, if you think about it. The vastly underrated Law of Averages dictates that won't happen again, but this is the playoffs. This is a legendary Game 7. It's very difficult to just "turn it back on" when you haven't been yourself in this type of situation, which is why it's a good bet that Cain won't have his usual great game. Then there's Kyle Lohse, who has been absolutely magnificent this postseason, having allowed just four combined runs in his three playoff starts. As he showed last year, though, Lohse can show weakness in playoff outings, and with Game 7 taking his mentality to a new level, one of which he's never experienced before (Since there's no pressure situation like a Game 7 as a starting pitcher, especially with a World Series berth on the line), that makes him vulnerable to a quality Giants' lineup, one of which he yielded a whopping 12 baserunners against five days ago. So, with both pitchers not exactly being at their steadiest entering this one, and both offenses clicking for the most part throughout this series, this deciding NLCS game could come down to the bats. Should be interesting regardless.
**May Add More Over/Under(s) Throughout Day Leading Up To Gametime**
**Remember that if you have a question concerning an over/under, I will gladly assist you with it if I see it before the game starts, even the ones I don't bet on, as I have at least a small vibe on every single over/under from studying this stuff every single day and night**
