I passed on the Yankees over today even though I liked it quite a bit, but the afternoon shadows and the Yankees sudden hitting slump kept me off that one. I am taking:

New York/Los Angeles over 8.5, laying $119 to win $100

Reasoning:

Greg Maddux has an 11-14 career postseason record, although his ERA has been solid enough at 3.22 for his postseason career. This still is not the same Maddux this late in his career. He has also allowed 15 earned runs in 18 1/3 IP this season against the Mets. Steve Trachsel has never made a postseason appearance, so this is his postseason debut. He also gave up 4 runs and 5 hits in just 2 2/3 IP against LA in early September. Warmer weather should mean warmer bats and some runs.

Week 6: 3-0, +$300
Week 5: 4-4, +$681
Week 4: 3-6, +$110
Week 3: 3-3, -$575
Week 2: 5-3, +$306 (did win $509 on the Mansion free bet & hedge)
Week 1: 5-1, +$913
