Developing Stories 📰

Wild card weekend sure was wild having all four of the underdog teams advance. The craziness didn’t stop after that as yesterday the Houston Astros made a late 5 run comeback in the 8th and 9th inning to beat Seattle in the ALDS opener. Yordan Alvarez hit a 3 run walk off homerun with two outs left in the ninth inning. Can the Astros stay hot and make another World Series appearance?

PICKS 🔒 

Braves vs Phillies: First 5 innings over 3.5

• Atlanta ranks second against fastballs (4 seamer’s and sinkers). Wheeler throws %42 four seam fastballs and %18 sinkers. Wright had faced the Phillies 3 times this year giving up a total of 6 runs. I think Atlanta has the edge for batting and should get this done.

Braves vs Phillies: Dansby Swanson OVER 1.5 bases +120

• Zach Wheeler throws his fastball on the inside part of the plate nearly %45 of the time. Dansby is top 10 in the league in slugging and batting average against the inside fastball. I like Dansby’s chances of grabbing two bags today. Especially at plus odds.

Braves vs Phillies: JT Realmuto OVER 1.5 bases +116

• JT has taken Kyle Wright yard twice this season. He has taken his fastball and his curveball deep. Kyle Wright cannot bully JT with one pitch or the other. I like JT’s chances of getting two bases today. Especially at plus odds. JT is also +450 to hit a HR today if you’re feeling risky.
