Pitching Probables

Dodgers: Walker Buehler (1-6, 5.38 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 64 strikeouts); Yankees: Clarke Schmidt (5-5, 2.85 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 93 strikeouts)

Buehler struck out six in four scoreless innings against the Mets in Game 3 of the NLCS.  He did find himself in a couple of jams, but this was perhaps the best he’s looked all season.

He's only faced six of these Yankees a total of 54 times.  Over that span the Yankees have six RBIs against him to go along with two home runs.

Schmidt allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Guardians on Thursday.

Clarke Schmidt has nominal experience versus these Dodgers.

Baseball Managers and Bookies Use Software, Why Shouldn’t You?

Don’t kid yourself. While the big-time bookmakers still have a place in any Las Vegas casino, they don’t work like they used to. It’s the technology age, and sportsbooks use this technology to make airtight lines.

The same is true of baseball managers. Managers don’t manage feelings. They use cold, hard data to fill their line-up cards each day.

They know the exact amount of pitches their starter can throw. They understand the statistical probability of each player reaching base versus a particular hitter.

So why are you still picking games with a dog-eared copy of Baseball Prospectus? Technology transformed sports gambling into an arms race. To find the edge, you need baseball betting software.
