16 Oct 22:37 Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers 

The Rangers swept the Rays in the wild card, they also swept the Orioles and won the first leg of this series in the Minute Maid Park. They are undefeated this entire post-season and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they caused another upset here. The Rangers offense knows a thing or two about Frambler, the Astros ace faced the Rangers 3 times during the regular season and he went 1-2. With the way the offenses went quiet for game one it wouldn’t be a surprise if they over came here but it’s the playoffs, I’m taking the spread on the underdog here, a team that is yet to lose this post-season.

Suggested Bet: (+1.5 Texas Rangers)

17 Oct 02:07 Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks 

Zac Gallen has started in 2 games this post-season and both games went under. Now Zack Wheeler has also been impressive, the game against the Marlins went under, and in the game against the Braves, he had 10 strikeouts. Both starting pitchers have a combined ERA of under 5.5. This being their first game they won’t rush things, take the under.

Suggested Bet: Under 9.5
