19 Oct 23:07 Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies take a 2-0 lead to the Chase Field, and I see them winning this game to make it 3-0. The Diamondbacks are sending the rookie Brandon Pfaadt to the mound for this game and I feel this is a bad move, there is so much at stake for this game for someone with his experience. Brandon has pitched for a total of 7.0 innings this post-season and he has an ERA of 3.86. The Phillies are going with Ranger Suarez and he is someone who knows the Diamondbacks very well, the last time he faced the Diamondbacks they failed to score against him. For the post-season, he’s pitched a total of 8.2 innings only allowing one run and this was against the Atlanta Braves! Take Phillies to win here.

Suggested Bet: Phillies ML

20 Oct 02:03 Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros

This game is going to be close and I am going with the underdog here. In their last 10 away games, the Astros have only lost 1 game. Being away from the minute maid park means nothing to them and they have the chance to tie the series here. Andrew Heaney is starting for the Rangers and he faced the Astros during the regular season in 4 games going 2-2 but his last appearance against the Astros was in Texas where the Astros had 5 hits in fewer innings scoring 3 runs. Jose Urquidy
did not face the Rangers in the regular season and that is what may add risk to the bet. But the Astros have the more experienced side, they have been here before and should tie the series.

Suggested Bet: (+1.5 Astros)
