Imagine Pitching 6 inning giving up 1 and striking out 13 and Leaving with the Lead

And you watching your clown team pull this

 He should have pitched the whole game. They would have won. But he got to his 99 pitch count and felt he had done his part. This would never happen with Bob Gibson, Nolan Ryan etc. As soon as he had done his part I knew the next inning Seattle would score. 

Capping MLB just off pitchers is a fool's errand. Seattle and Detroit were neck and neck in many important stats, it was always gonna be a coin flip, line told you that. M's had better home runs per at bat and stolen bases which Detroit was last in the league in, neither of those really mattered in game 5, everything else in stats they were literally placed just above or below each other, either team could have won.

everyone in the world knows that game doesnt start till skubal leaves. ive never seen a playoff team that hits as poorly as detroit. They had so many chances to win. ive seen baez for years look lost in the box in chicago. Better that seattle advances.

Better for spectacle, not better for betting. Toronto mashes Detroit 4-1, would've been an ATM series.
