YTD (MLB PLAYOFFS): 24-22-1 (BIG PLAY!!!: 7-9)
Been doing pretty well both in MLB and finally in NFL over the past week. If you remove the extra units (BIG PLAYS are 2 units) the record is actually much better at 10-4-1. So pretty encouraged and I've been staring at this total all day but continue to ask myself why my reasoning might be off. After 18 innings last night, it's easy to say that Ohtani might be tired and have heavy legs, leading to potentially a subpar performance. Sure, that is completely possible but as I had stated in my last thread, the Japanese mentality is not one of going out and lifting weights, but more to be focused and relaxed. So I think he will be fine.
Where I think the real struggles will be is with the hitters. I think tired bodies will affect bat speed which will affect the distance some of those hit balls travel. Today is a very warm day in Los Angeles but the game will start off with shadows given the trajectory of the sun. That too will help the pitchers. I just don't see much way that this game goes OVER the total in the FH, as I think Bieber will be very effective. We all know Ohtani will be. And, if he were to surprise us with more incredible achievements, it will come in him shutting down the Blue Jays hitters.
UNDER 4 FH (TOR/LAD)...BIG PLAY!!!
Maybe I'll be the fool here but both bullpens are tired so they have fewer arms to draw from. Both SP's know the challenge ahead and know they will have a longer leash, good, bad, or indifferent. I think that works FOR the UNDER especially until we are tasked with seeing at just what point the bullpens get called into action. As always, tail or fade, good luck to all...
Been a really solid run hoping some of you caught on. Now I'm going to enjoy the rest of this game, tempted to live bet for fun.
