Yea I saw it. I was like "don't do it, radko...". B x A has beaten up every flyer he's ever fought, lol.
i never really understood the logic of playing your best pitcher versus theirs, especially when they have the best pitcher in the league. idk, id rather throw someone like musgrove in there for game 1 against kershaw then roll out keuchel and verlander for games 2 and 3. game 1 isnt a must win for the astros, obvious, i just think they have a much better chance at the series if they staggered their pitching rotation like thatMLB Playoffs
Astros ML 1u @ -102.
Essentially must win game for the Astros, they need to take 1 game in LA to have a chance in winning this series. Taking Justin Verlander over Rich Hill, Verlander has been the most dominant pitcher in the playoffs this season. It should be a close game. Under 7.5 is a good line too but juiced @ -130.
I think AJ Hinch made a mistake going with Keuchel over Verlander in Game 1, Kershaw was lights out and Keuchel was okay.

i mean, sometimes you just have to be smart about it. if we look at the probables for games 1, 2, 3, and 4I was thinking the same thing today
I guess it’s the huge amount of momentum the Astros would get if they beat Kershaw and took game one.
That’s just how they match them up. Your best pitcher against my best pitcher. Always trying to win. You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow
They were probably thinking like I was. They didn’t approach the game thinking they would be facing prime Kershaw. They figured there was a good chance he would make a few mistakes and wouldn’t last 7 innings
Maybe helpful advice- I've heard from pretty respectable people that teasers in bball and college football are a waste. Not worth it as covering the spread happens by larger margins. NFL is the only sport where it's actually worth the trouble1u NBA teaser

Game 3
Taking Dodgers ML 1u @ +117
Astros should have some momentum but I'm taking Darvish over McCullers. Darvish has had success pitching against the Astros when with the Texas Rangers, I think he only had one bad game out of 4 or 5 games in the past two years. Darvish has always had really good stuff and would pitch amazing games but then have one bad inning when with the Rangers. I also think the Dodgers hitters will be more disciplined and not chase as many pitches out of the zone like the Yankees did against McCullers.
I had money on the Astros in Game 2 and Verlander pitched amazing and only gave up two hits but still trailed 3-1 until the late game heroics in the 8th and 9th inning by the Astros. If McCullers pitches an average game, the Dodgers most likely win. I don't fault people for taking the Astros in Game 3 especially being at home but I see Darvish outpitching McCullers and highly unlikely Dodgers bullpen blows the lead if Dodgers are ahead again.
Keep in mind that these bonuses aren’t free money. You have to deposit a multiplier before you can cash out that money. Usually the multiplier is anywhere from 9-13x the deposit or bonus.Personally I decided to take a few days off from betting and just enjoy watching MLB. Also I've been learning some new betting sites from this list http://www.best-bookmakers.com/ that offer a welcome bonus to their new customer as an incentive to open up an account.
