Tuesday Baseball Bonanza *The leans below will not count to my stats here in this thread. Follow or fade, it's up to you! WON - Take
Houston Astros over Oakland A's (4:35 PM, Tuesday, October 6th)
The Astros have posted a 5-2 record in their last seven playoff games and they are an excellent 7-2 in their last nine Divisional Series games. They have also been good of late when facing a left-handed starter, winning 47 of their last 66. The A's, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they have gone just 2-6 in their last eight playoff games. Throw in the fact that the Astros are a perfect 7-0 in their last seven playoff games where they were listed as an underdog and we're going to take them at the even money or so price here to get the win over the A's in LA on Tuesday afternoon.
LOST - Take
Miami Marlins over Atlanta Braves (2:05 PM, Tuesday, October 6th)
The Marlins have posted a perfect 5-0 record in their last five playoff games and they have that same perfect 5-0 record in their last five playoff games where they were listed as the underdog. They have also won five of their last six where they faced a team with a winning record and they are an excellent 5-2 in their last seven games following a win. The Braves, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here today as they have gone just 5-14 in their last nineteen NLDS games and they have lost 15 of their last 22 playoff games overall. Throw in the fact that the Marlins are a perfect 4-0 in their last four games where they faced a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower and we're going to take them at the big underdog price to get the win over Atlanta in Houston on Tuesday afternoon.
LOST - Take
San Diego Padres over Los Angeles Dodgers (9:35 PM, Tuesday, October 6th)
The Padres have posted a 9-3 record in their last twelve games following a game where they allowed two runs or less and they have gone an excellent 10-4 in their last fourteen games following a win. They have also won thirteen of their last seventeen where they faced a team with a winning record and they are an impressive 12-3 in their last fifteen games versus an NL West Division rival. Throw in the fact that the Padres are a lights out 11-5 in their last sixteen games where they faced a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower along with the fact that they absolutely kill righties, winning 21 of their last 26 games where they faced a right-handed starter and we're taking the Padres at a nice underdog price to get the win in Arlington on Tuesday night.
