Tanaka owns the A’s, Would start him

this

[KRIT]

Strop will be available for Cubbies pen. I think Maddon will avoid pen by all costs. Get as much as he can from Lester, then go to Hamels.

I played over 7,, seems like plenty of ways we could get a big inning. Freeland on short rest who knows, Lester realky only been good vs bad teams lately even tho I think good chance he pitches well, Cubs pen shot and even if they go starters out of pen who knows how they will handle that role? Even tho rox pen been good the last month I’m still not a huge believer in guys they bringing out. Someone will have a big inning and that all it take w this total imo,

[Snowball]

If I take NYY it's for their bats not Severino.

[krk1030]

Everyone was lighting up severino. Guys were spitting on his slider and his fastball was going right down the middle.

Hes been much better last few starts.

Its a legit concern to worry about which guy shows up, but there is nothing about the oakland matchup to really worry about.

If he's on he will shut them down.

[krk1030]

Melvin gonna go Hendricks to start for 1

This Oakland bullpen narrative is so overblown.

Good luck getting to the 6th inning with these guys, weather they go with a starter or all relievers.

These guys lol? They use two guys to get to sixth.. They start Hendricks or Trevino and pitch a starter into the 6th

Where can I get the big plus money prop bet that Rodney blows the game?

All their starters are terrible.

And if you start Trevino you are no longer lock down in the 7th snd 8th innings.

[KRIT]

Looks like Yanks will be around -190.

Oh I agree starters are terrible that’s why you go BP game.. Funny thing is they have best record in the league since beginning of July.. Must be doing something right

[bballs84]

Already told you how rotation should go
Hendricks 1
Mengden 4
Kelly 1
Trevino 1
Trenien 2

Mengden has been lights out

I don’t worry about their offense at all in the Bronx band box, plenty of capable bats and lot of doubles hitters that be home runs if they played in yanks stadium 80 games a year.

What makes you think Hendricks will go three innings, guy pretty much only goes one inning in each of his starts.

[bballs84]

Where do you see 3

[bballs84]

Officially announced Hendricks.. Fiers the only starter on roster.. Head scratcher by Melvin.. Bp games have been working because of that starter bridge guy.. Mengden not even on roster.. He try to bridge Fiers other day in Anaheim and he was crushed.. This gonna ensure Rodney and Famiia in the game at some point.. Yikes man.. Pretty disappointed

So over it is? Lol

[bballs84]

Lol what you think opening odds and total gonna be Banker

[2daBank]

Who starting for yanks? I was thinking severino be -170-180ish. Total prob 9. That just off top of my head tho, havnt did any math with numbers yet.

[bballs84]

Ya Severino starting.. If they open that high will be on the Dog

[2daBank]

Ya Severino starting.. If they open that high will be on the Dog

Kinda what I’m thinking. I might be overshooting it some, like I said I havnt sat down and crunched the numbers, more based off what his lines been most the year what makes me think it be around there. Couldn’t tell ya last time I even saw a Oakland line, maybe they getting more respect than that now? Kinda doubt it. Don’t see any way it not at least -160s and prob higher.

Oh my bad, read it wrong.

Those are the two guys in the Oak pen I wouldn't trust in a big game like this. Just feels like little room for error with Oakland. My guess is Fiers is insurance, won't want to pitch him unless they absolutely have to as I'd assume they want him to start game 1 against Sox if they get there.

Surprised no Megden, is Cahill on the roster?

No doubt.

[bballs84]

Yup he’s there only for extra innings.. No bridge for them tomorrow.. All Pen.. First time doing this.. Would guess Trevino follows Hendriks for 2nd and 3rd inning ensuring we see Rodney and Familia later in the game unfortunately.. Sucks.. Treinen was just asked how many innings he can give tomorrow and Hendriks held up 6 fingers for him lol.. Rather see that

[KRIT]

Anyone got a link to the playoff rosters?

[KRIT]

I'm really surprised to see the Cubs total only at 7. Was expecting 8. Books know something? It was 8 for yesterdays game and Chacin + Brewers pen is better than Freeland + Colorado pen.

I just pounded it and didn’t give it a second thought. I assumed wind must be blowing in hard but just checked and only saw like 4 mph!!

[krk1030]

Unless the wind is blowing in significantly gotta like that over.

Both pens are shitty. Who knows how a guy on 3 days rest will fare and on paper Rockies are a bad matchup for Lester.

[2daBank]

Why Hendricks only throwing a inning these days? He used to be capable of 5-6 innings, what happened?

[bballs84]

On the over tonight as well fellas.. Hendriks lost bunch of weight too but has been having success with the 1 inning gig

[2daBank]

It just screams we will see at least one big inning which all it take, could easily be multiple. Way more question marks w the pitching on both sides imo.

[qtip0711]

Gonna tail Rainmain on this one going with Rox +123 tonight with freeland on short rest. Also a small lean to Cubbies team total under 2. First 5.

GL to all

[Snowball]

Hendricks ? desperation.

Nailed the line. Over opened little lower than I thought, jumped on over 8.5. Will prob take Oakland small at that price.
