Thanks. I’m just going to leave my LU as is. It likely has zero 1st place equity but if the Astros go off it can easily get me to the cash line. I’ll use my galaxy brain here and pretend that all my opponents are swapping and they don’t know that I know that so I’ll stay with the Astros

7 th game tonight in alcs

Everyone knows the Astros are gonna win right?

As an Angel fan first, but a Dodger fan as well it’s tough to root for the Astros but I believe it’s a foregone conclusion.

I’ve been over served today and am gonna go big on SD and single game, along with Astros ML. $2K on the Astros at +105

Correa CPT on DK and Bregman/Correa on FD.

thats why they play the game

I was not aware, no.

Personally thought McCullers was going to have one of his dicey games, and flop, and Morton was going to be steady and shut down his old team.

Was wrong about Braves/Dodgers tonight, and most things recently though.

There goes Lance possibly off the rails.

Maybe. Kind of early. Hitting a guy on the 1st pitch isn’t usually good. Bounced back nicely off the HR though with a K, but getting wild against with Choi…

3 ks but 30 pitches thru 1 plus the 2 run homer.

This has been the best possible script for Morton so far.

Yeah looks like Morton will go 5 plus easily today. Astros don’t have it. Not that anyone cares about them

That should just about do it for the Astros. Although the Rays blowing this game would really be the icing on the 3-0 collapse.

Bregman letting me down 1 more time.

went Buehler/Morton but having Diaz at third (with no Rays lineup, then switched to Bregman) and not having Turner hurt.

Dustin May opening for LA

Any suggestions for a 4,000 relief pitcher? Seems like the way to go for lottery ticket showdown.

P.S. For now, I’ve got Mark Melancon.

I’ve bounced between Graterol and Gonzalez; it feels like a crapshoot. But we already established that taking a zero isn’t lethal in NBA showdowns, so I don’t know why it can’t work here.

Zero beat heck out of negative numbers, for sure.

Dodgers already lost…

opening with May a rather curious decision, as are many of Roberts’ decisions…

I’m a Nationals fan, so no huge rooting interest in these playoffs. But I’m glad the Rays and Randy Arozarena are in the World Series.

have Will Smith

so close

Major League Baseball took a step toward normalcy this week, allowing fans back through stadium doors for the National League Championship Series in Texas – with some COVID-19 restrictions in place.

For the first time since March, more than 10,000 fans are now able to watch baseball games in person after coronavirus health and safety guidelines barred crowds at stadiums due to the ongoing pandemic.

According to CNN, the MLB announced they would be selling 11,500 tickets for games at Globe Life Field in Arlington, where the NLCS is currently being played and the World Series will later take place.

You cannot win with a negative number; somebody always has the same lineup with a zero instead. But it’s entirely possible for the nuts lineup to have a zero in it if pricing was tight enough.
