YTD (MLB PLAYOFFS): 14-9-1 (BIG PLAY!!!: 5-3)
On a quick 5-0 run and see no reason why today will slow things down. I'm going to post these games early as I LOVE some of them and it's my lady's bday so I will be out for a good part of the day and maybe a bit intoxicated later 
.
That being said, I am going to post the games in the order of what I like but the first one can also be viewed as a reflection of my screen handle:
LAD - 1.5 (+110) & LAD FH (-172)...BIG PLAYS!!!: Ok, so be careful on MY end I'm positioning this game as both a FH and FG play. The reason is clearly in the pitchers here. To be clear, if the Philies lose, they are done. So they had to cross the country to go to Dodger Stadium and face a team that was the hottest going into the playoffs and seems to still be the hottest to date. Yoshi Yamamoto is on the hill for the Dodgers and he's been one of the BEST pitchers in the MLB over the past two years. He's been almost unhittable of late and would have left his last start with a shutout had Teoscar Hernandez not dropped a fly ball in the 1st inning. Regardless, unearned runs. On the other side of the equation, Aaron Nola has been AWFUL this year going 0-6 with an ERA at about 7 in his road starts. This is don't see changing much because he is playing in a game with more meaning. BUT, Ranger Suarez who is shut down in the playoffs will follow him, and that could come early. That might keep the game in balance so I feel better dropping the high odds in the F5 and seeing the Dodgers pile on late to get the -1.5. The Dodgers lineup is stacked and Will Smith has only just made his return to it. They will want to get it done and rest and while he Phillies have had some success against LAD on the road this year, the stakes here are different. BURY this play and put the Phillies to sleep once and for all.
UNDER 4.5 FH (TOR/NYY)...BIG PLAY!!!: This is my other big play that I just see too much value in. We obviously dont' know what we will get out of the Blue Jays bullpen but we do know that Aaron Judge is on fire in the playoffs this year. I would love to back the NYY to win the game and take it to Toronto, just as I think will happen, but it's hard with such a high price. And the FH is also priced highly with Cam Schlittler on the mound after his shutdown performance in the wildcard round. I do like the Blue Jays to relax into this game knowing they still have the 2-1 advantage and home field advantage, and I think the Yankees come out knowing they will not want to get behind again as they have all series. The only way to ensure that is to shut down the opposing bats. I see this game as an UNDER but again I get spooked by the Yankees bullpen, which was stretched out yesterday. I'm playing this one too with a lot of confidence.
Have to add the other(s) in the next post since the thread is already too long apparently.
I love Fletch
