I've never seen that before....
Top 6th, score 2-2, been raining for awhile but game playing thru.
2 outs, bases loaded, 2 strikes on the batter and pitcher throws a high fastball for the swinging strike,
but (with aid from the rain) the catcher fails to catch the pitch, it goes to the backstop and 2 runs score

2-4 W/L Saturday for -3.42 units. Screwed that up because I was supposed to stick with LA Angels on the -1.5 Alternative Runline for a big gain, but I chickened out and decided to play it safe taking the +2.5 runline. Then the difference in the day was Miami going to extra innings tied 4-4 with Washington, but giving up 6 runs in the top of the 10th, thus losing the cover in that game.

Tuesday Oct.1 - NL Wild Card Game
I like Washington to win this game, it is pretty intriguing matchup beyond only looking at the starting pitchers.
But I'm not placing a wager on this game pre-game. If it is tight, or Brewers leading after a few innings, I would consider taking Washington LIVE only if the opportunity presents itself at significantly lower risk odds than what they are available at pre-game, around -175 (patience and discipline).
Here are points I've looked at:
Neither team likes facing the opposing starting pitcher. All-time team batting averages look like this:
Milwaukee .133 vs Max Scherzer
Washington .154 vs Brandon Woodruff
>those are for the players in the starting lineups
THE WAY NOT TO BET THIS GAME, in my opinion, would be taking Washington first five innings. Scherzer hasn't looked fully himself with a 4.74 ERA in seven outings since returning from a back injury in late August, but the team will have Patrick Corbin and Stephen Strasburg available out of the bullpen should things go wrong early (this sentence is exact wording from a rotisserie site, in the interest of time).
Another stat to consider is the Nationals are 1-8 W/L in Mr. Scherzer's last 9 starts during Game 1 of a series.
Furthermore, the Nationals have such a weak history against Brandon Woodruff, who should also be fresher on 8 days of rest since his last outing on Sept.22 in which he only threw 2 innings.
This will be "all hands on-deck" game for both teams, so unless you have inside access to the coaches and pitching staff, its difficult to say exactly which pitchers will be brought in relief, and when.
Let's look at hitting lineups quickly. Washington has the edge with an overall .287 batting average for the season, among the players in the starting lineups (not including the pitcher). Milwaukee batters come in with .256 average. Ryan Braun and Lorenzo Cain have minor injuries reported, but are both in the starting lineup, while Christian Yellich as we know will not play. Washington does not have reported injuries for their position players, other than Catcher Mr. Kurt Suzuki, who is starting the game, despite lingering inflammation in his elbow.
Recent form: Washington has the clear advantage. They played the past 8 games at home since Sept.23 and WON ALL 8 GAMES. Their fans will be rocking out to "Baby Shark" when Gerardo Parra likely enters the game as a pinch hitter in the late innings.
Milwaukee played the last 6 games on the road, getting swept by the Colorado Rockies in Denver for the last 3 games, including Extra Innings losses the final 2 games of the season.
Sorry for the last-minute post before gametime, but I hope this information is helpful to anybody looking to make a late- or-live wager on the Wildcard game tonight.
GL all

Friday Oct.4
ATLANTA +110 first five innings moneyline // 1 unit to win 1.10
*push if tied end 5th inn.
Starting pitchers = Jack Flaherty at Mike Foltynewicz
I know Flaherty is good, but Atlanta was strong at home in the first five innings this year (sorry don't have the exact W/L numbers to support this). Foltynewicz got a postseason start last year against the Dodgers, although he got hit around a bit, this is a new year and I'm liking the fact he has that experience. Braves must win this game, so although this is only a one-unit pick in which I don't have high confidence, I'll take the shot at +plus odds.
