    How do you not take Strasburg+160?

    Isn't this a must play? Home teams are winless in the series. The better pitcher is a dog. The home pitcher is winless in 6 world series starts.

    How do you not take the home team after the road team winning each of the first five? Regression to the mean.

    Bingo

    This series has been a cash cow. Won games 1 and 2 at plus money and hit the run line with Houston in games 3 and 5.

    Only loss was game 4.

    I am going with the Astros to close it out tonight. they are jus too good to lose 3 straight home games on the biggest stage. they are 1 game a way , they know it , the crowd knows it , everyone will be pumped up to play.

    Does it ever occur that when something happens that many times in a row it’s prime for a reversal. And that usually happens once people come to their senses? I’m on nationals too but Jesus Christ

    Better value taking the nationals team total over than laying -142 on a run line.

    Besides Gerrit Cole, Strasburg has been the best pitcher this postseason. Could he get rocked? Absolutely. But from what I’ve seen, his stuff has been downright filthy. JV is JV but he has given up plenty of homeruns this year and this postseason. I Could easily see the Nats up or tied after 5; however, I don’t trust that Nats bullpen to hold up against Houston’s bats this late in a series.

    Because if you are making a case for regression to the mean nats offense should go off, they are 1-20 with runners in scoring position last 3 games.

    If I flip a coin 5x and it lands on heads every time, how can it not land on tails the next time? You literally just described the gamblers fallacy.

    Who cares? What does that have to do with this game? People were saying the exact same thing about the Astros when the were down 0-2 in the series hitting < 150 with runners in scoring position
