Gambling911.com has your Wednesday Major League Baseball Divisional Playoffs betting odds for the Nationals-Cubs and Yankees-Indians games.
Nationals-Cubs (H: -157 A: +147 T: 7)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Tanner Roark (13-11, 4.67 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Jake Arrieta (14-10, 3.53)
Roark made two relief appearances in the 2014 NLDS and his first postseason start in last year’s NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing two runs and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision. He is 4-2 with a 4.06 ERA in seven career games (six starts) against the Cubs.
Arrieta is 4-2 with a 3.64 ERA in seven starts over the last two postseasons, including a pair of wins in last year’s World Series. He is 1-2 with a 5.48 ERA in nine meetings versus the Nats.
Yankees-Indians (H: -190 A: +180 T: 7.5)
PITCHING MACHUP: Yankees LH CC Sabathia (0-0, 3.38 ERA) vs. Indians RH Corey Kluber (0-0, 20.25)
Girardi was heavily criticized for several decisions in Game 2's 13-inning loss, but the main gripe was his decision to yank Sabathia after 77 pitches and 5 1/3 innings.
Sabathia is 9-5 with a 4.47 ERA in 20 career postseason appearances against the Indians.
Kluber suffered through his worst start of the season in Game 2, serving up six runs on seven hits - two homers - in 2 2/3 innings.
