MLB Daily Thread: 10:14:15- Win or Go Home

[bksballer89]

Who you guys got?

I'm going with the Royals and Rangers

 

[Four4Four]

I'm going with road teams. I think Cole will be dominant. CG 13ks.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sorry, Texass.

Toronto & KC FTW's

Would be amazing if Houston bounce back from that choke job and win today.....highly doubt it though

 

[Bolts]

Home teams win

 

[Inquisitor95]

There's absolutely no way the Royals lose today.

I guarandamntee it!

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Who the fuck knows who is going to win, but I think I'm rooting for either Texas or Toronto in the first game, and Houston in the second.

No matter what, so far we're guaranteed at least five elimination games so far. That's out of a possible nine.

I fucking love elimination games.

@SlinkyRedfoot remember how I told you that the Cards were built for the marathon and not the sprint and that they were doomed? Remember how I told you John Lackey was not an ace? You should listen to me more often; I'm smart!

You are fucking kidding, right?

Didn't I tell you the Cards were doomed? Didn't you see Lackey look like shit yesterday? I don't understand the question.

That's painfully obvious to me.

That's painfully obvious to me.

Bottom line: Lackey is somewhere between the 10th and 15th best starting pitcher in the playoffs this year. He was not scaring anyone as a supposed "ace".

There were only five pitchers with a lower ERA and more innings than Lackey in 2015. He was easily one of the top 10 starters in baseball this year, but suddenly, he has a bad start against a hot-hitting team, and he could be the 15th best out of the playoff teams?

God bless small sample sizes, huh, Chappee?
