HOU vs BOS
Keuchel has made 2 career play-off starts and won them both, allowing only 1 earned run. He has a 2.26 ERA at home, and a 2.41 ERA in the day.
Pomeranz has pitched well in 2 starts vs Houston this year, winning both and only allowing 1 earned run in each. But, Houston just saw him last week which normally favors the hitters.
I expect Keuchel to dominate as usual and Houston to score 3 or 4 off Pomeranz which should be more than enough for the win.
Pick = Houston ML -177
CLE vs NYY
Kluber has been lights out in just about every important category:
- 0.47 ERA in his last 3
- 10-2, 1.81 ERA at Home
- 7-1, 1.89 ERA in the Day
If that's not enough, in 2 starts vs NY this year:
- 9 innings, 1 run, win
- 8 innings, 2 runs, win
And if that's still not enough. In last year's playoffs he did not allow a run in over 19 innings against teams that were seeing him for the first time.
Sabathia has pitched well for NY, but Kluber is just too good.
As long as Cleveland can put 3 or 4 on the board, this should be an easy winner.
Pick = Cleveland ML -228
