Recap
First I just wanted to say thanks to everyone reaching out and being supportive. It is really cool seeing people tail the picks and benefit from it. People have been sending me their winning picks and even a tip or two. Let's hope we can keep things going for this ALCS game 6.
Another successful day! I went 5-1 in NLCS game 5.
Zac Gallen Outs O 15.5 (-135) 1u✅
Zac Gallen Strikeouts Thrown U 5.5 (-135) 1u✅
While these bets might have seemed to be a little at odds with each other, they worked out. Gallen's postseason strikeout rate remained low, only striking out one lonely Trea Turner. But due to the Diamondback's exhausted bullpen he still earned 18 outs.
Zack Wheeler Outs O 16.5 (-130 boosted to -104 on DraftKings) 1u✅
Zack Wheeler Strikeouts Thrown O 5.5 (-150) 1u✅
Wheeler showed up and did Wheeler things. Striking out 8 batters in 7 IP (21 outs). At this point expect me to blindly hammer his overs until he gives us a reason not to trust him.
Bryce Harper Walks O 0.5 (-115 on MGM)❌
Bryce was offered 7 strikes out of 18 pitches he saw, which is way higher than previous games. He also decided to ground out on a 3-0 count which was frustrating for us gamblers. His walk streak ends at 5 games.
Zack Wheeler First Strikeout (+310) .5u✅
I added this last minute, 30 minutes before first pitch. If you missed out, follow me on Twitter. I have been trying to post my picks here and there. I feel like it is harder to catch when I edit my comment in here compared to a new Tweet.
My assumption going into the game was minimal Philly strikeouts. Seeing Wheeler's first strikeout prop at +310 was too good to pass up. It was a nerve wracking first inning, as Gallen had a few batters 1-2 or 0-2 at points but fortunately the low K rate for Philly batters in this NLCS remained true.
