@fubah2
Congrats on another winning season! 
Thursday, Oct 16...
In GLASNOW's last 9 starts AT HOME, since the ASB, his Dodgers won 5 and lost 4... Most of those teams were good or avg batting teams - facing only 2 weak offenses.
He faced BREWSKIES twice in early/mid July - pitched very well in both! - but due to lack of run support, the Dodgers lost both.... which again illustrates that no matter how good the starter is the team can and often do still lose the game.
Ability at the plate and on the mound are both EQUALLY important.
Relief pitcher Ashby will start (he's very good!) but
LEFTY Jose Quintana is expected to be the bulk reliever facing the Dodgers.
The two times Jose faced the Dodgers, he allowed only 10 on base across 12 innings [which is EXCELLENT pitching!], and just 4 earned runs. The Brewers won both games.
OK so with the heads up from @LuckyGuy 
regarding a pitching change (Ashby will still start though) looking at the bulk reliever, Misiorowski key stats:
- 2 good outings in post season - though BOTH in Milwaukee vs Cubs.
- 
very mediocre WHIP and ERA on the season!!
- since the ASB, BREWSKIES won 7 and lost 5 of his starts, but only 2 - 3 with his ROAD starts.
- he averages less than 4 complete innings, and only exceeded 5 ip ONCE in 12 starts
- In the 12 starts since ASB, I have him rated at 6 good outings vs. 6 BAD outings, [mediocre!] although the Brewers won 7 of 12.
His recent 5 *ROAD* starts:
BAD outing in 7 - 1 LOSS @mediocre St.Louis
Good outing in 10 -2 win @weakass Pirates
BAD outing in 4 - 3 LOSS @decent Cubbies
AWFUL outing @mediocre Cincinnati, but they outscored them 10 - 8
Good outing in 0 - 1 LOSS @decent Seattle
= 2 good outings and 3 BAD outings in 5 ROAD games - and none of those opponents as good as the Dodgers at the plate!
Ashby is a LEFT reliever and very good.....though the Dodgers over the season have proven to be #3 best OPS vs lefties.
Misiorowski will pitch bulk relief.....he is a righty. Dodgers are 3rd BEST OPS over the season and absolutely pounding righties in the 8 games of the post-season far and above any other team!
I'll bite... my bet LA Dodgers -158 @pinn
My bet was based on the expectation that GLASNOW would pitch well...
He's struggling...He's already allowed 4 baserunners in the first 2 innings...THAT is a BAD WHIP stat! Weak pitching! Could implode and cost me money!
LIVE hedge BET bottom 2nd, BREWSKIES +155 @B365
