Why These Picks?
NY Yankees v TOR Blue Jays: I expect an exceptional game out of Kevin Gausman (3.59 ERA) here. 4 of Gausman’s last 5 starts haven’t seen final totals of Over 8 runs. On the other side, New York starter Luis Gil (3.32 ERA) can boast that 4 of his last 5 starts for the Yankees have yielded collective totals of Under 5. As luck would have it, not only have the last 3 straight meetings between these teams seen 8 runs or less, but Gil’s last outing against the Blue Jays saw him hold the Toronto offense to just 3 hits. I’m expecting a solid pitching duel for Game 1 of this playoff series. I won’t pick a winner, but I imagine the final score will fall around 3-1. My money’s on the Under to cash.
LA Dodgers v PHI Phillies: Starter Cristopher Sanchez (2.50 ERA) has literally been a beacon of reliability all season long. To boot, he’s an exceptional arm at home – the man is 6-0 in Philly (Home ERA 1.94). My money’s on the home squad to win Game 1 of this series.
Texas v Florida (NCAAF): Defense should run this game, friends. Despite the Gators having lost their last 3 straight outings, they’ve still managed to keep their opponents from running too far away with any total; the Under has cashed in all of their losses this season. On the other side, the Longhorns haven’t allowed their opponents to score more than 14 in any of their games so far. Ultimately, I do think Texas takes the win here in a low-scoring affair.
