The above Loss was my last baseball pick until the playoffs. Because of the expanded rosters my computer based program can not account for all of the call ups. My program runs each game 25,00 to 50,000 times. With the added players I would have to run each game about 1,000,000 times. Not going to do that. See you back then with a new thread for the playoffs. It Been A Long Strange Trip. I'd Like To Do It AgainComment

RhodyJoe's MLB Post Season Picks
10/06/2015
MLB American League Wild Card Game
HOUSTON (D KEUCHEL) vs NY YANKEES (M TANAKA)
Point Total Over 7 (-120)
Tanaka has surrendered 17 of his 25 long balls at Yankee Stadium. Something to think about when you are playing powerful Houston.
Keuchel is playing on a tired arm, I have been told. That info coming from a reliable source. Also, he is pitching on short rest.
I can make a case for both sides in this one but with a low total of 7 the best option is taking the OVER 7.

What can I say but hats off to Keuchel and the home plate umpire who called wide strikes that made it almost impossible for anyone to hit KeuchelOriginally posted by rhodyjoe View PostRhodyJoe's MLB Post Season Picks

As a former High School and Division Three College umpire I know what I saw last night and it was not good. An umpire who "enlarges the strike zone because some hot shot pitcher is AROUND the plate" is just plane cheating and favoring a pitcher. The FN strike zone is spelled out in the rule book. It is not open to interpretation. You widen the strike zone for some one you are playing favorites and cheating. It Been A Long Strange Trip. I'd Like To Do It AgainComment

RhodyJoe's MLB Post Season Picks
10/07/2015
MLB National League Wild Card Game
Pitching Option: listed
CHICAGO CUBS (J ARRIETA) vs PITTSBURGH (G COLE)
CHICAGO CUBS 0 (-126) to win
Arrieta’s is fresh off the BEST 20-game closing stretch in the HISTORY of baseball. In over 140 years NO ONE has done what Jake Arrieta just did. Wrap your head around that for a second. A guy casual fans had scarcely heard of 18 months ago has been the best pitcher ever to walk planet Earth forthe last four months. His 0.41 ERA is staggering and the fact that he has won 8 of 9 starts against Pittsburgh is cause for even more optimism. So is the fact that he has not allowed a run in his last three starts striking out 27 batters and walking one. 27 to 1…
I have no objection to taking BOTH of these teams today on a World Series future odds. The Cubs and Pirates are BOTH around 12/1 a number that will be cut nearly in half after today’s winner emerges. Both have the rosters to win the whole thing. But for tonight, I’ll stick with Arrieta and the young Cubbies getting him JUST enough run support to win.

Point Total Over 7.5(-110)
TEXAS (Y GALLARDO) vs TORONTO (D PRICE)
The Rangers and Blue Jays have the two strongest offenses in the postseason and I think they shine today. The play for me here is the OVER in game 1 of the ALDS.
