Jacob Misiorowski NL Cy Young +340

I'm not touching any of his props until I get a clear picture of how the Brewers intend to use him going forward. If I was confident that they would let him pitch normally, I'd hit those overs. That last start spooked me as they pulled him after 4 innings and around 60 pitches. Was that due to the first start coming off the all star break or is that a preview of what's to come? As previously stated, today should tell a lot...if they pull him after 4/5 innings and 60/70 pitches, that is not looking good for any futures on him.

I'm with you, JP. Will I watch this game?
Hell yeah.

Will I bet on this game?
Hell no.

Holy Cheese Batman

Miz strikes out the side in the first; all three Ks were swings and air, all with 104 mph stream.

He needed 17 pitches in the first inning; if Murphy has Miz on a short leash, he won't see the sixth inning.
Let's see how this plays out.

... and he strikes out the side again in the second inning.
This time, using only 13 pitches.

Six up, six down, six Ks.
I believe I may be watching something really special here.
After two innings.

J. Misiorowski	2.0	0	0	0	6	31-23	1.54

Perfect through 3 innings.
Eight strikeouts through three innings is rarified air.

J. Misiorowski	3.0	0	0	0	8	42-31	1.53

Perfect through 4 innings.
The kid is ELECTRIC.
He's teaching a master class in power pitching.
12 up, 12 down, 11 by strikeouts.
WOW, Just WOW

J. Misiorowski	4.0	0	0	0	11	53-40	1.51

The rook, Carrigg, took Miz deep with a solo shot.
And that was that.
There's no way Misiorowski comes out for the sixth inning.
Not after 83 pitches.

Thanks, JP.

We've mentioned this before.
I placed that future wager on Memorial Day, days after Sanchez completed his amazing Month of May.
5-0, no earned runs... Amazing.

The two main reasons I wagered on Miz.
And this is no knock on Sanchez; he's a pitcher who checks all the boxes.
He's the type of dude I want as my team's front-line staff ace.
Elite-level LHPs like Sanchez are unicorns.

Back to my point.
For three weeks in May, Sanchez was the center of the MLB universe.
And rightfully so; he earned it.

The wagering community- some like to call them 'the public' (this is my opinion only; I cannot prove this) overreacted and bet down the Sanchez Cy Young future from (I need to fact-check these numbers; I might be off) +130 to -150.

While Sanchez was blistering hot, Miz was doing the 105-MPH thing he does so well and hanging in that CY Young Award chase.
It's the law of gravity: what goes up must come down; Sanchez was bet down to odds-on prohibitive favorite, and in doing so, Miz's price went up to +340, creating, to what I saw, tremendous value.

The other factor I weighed was that, as amazing a month of May as Sanchez had, it's impossible to sustain that kind of five-game tear he was on. Unless you're 1968 Bob Gibson, or 1972 Steve Carlton, all pitchers, except for the chosen few, will level off.
