Win
or go home, baby II
Gallardo
is 6-0 against the Diamondbacks and has only given up 5 earned runs in total
against them. In Game 1, he retired 14 of 15 batters at one point, allowing one
run on four hits over eight innings in a 4-1 victory.
Although
Kennedy got knocked about in Game 1, it happens. He had an outstanding season
(he’s in the Cy Young mix) and is 2-2 against Milwaukee, including a 4 hit
shutout.
Although
the pressure is on the Brewers, having failed to close out the series when they
were 2-0 up, Milwaukee have won the most home games in the MLB this season, and
their players obviously feel it’s a significant advantage. I see them taking the
game tonight – the problem is, I don’t like the price.
I
never bet shorter than 1.75 in baseball and the Brewers are only available at
1.67, so instead, I’ll look at the totals. It’s a simple enough call – Kennedy
has great stuff and Gallardo is finishing strong, pitching beautifully - under
is the call.
Pick:
Under 7.5 @ 1.83; -120; 5/6
