Game 5, 1st Five

I'm running it back, I like Cole against Flaherty tonight those first 5 innings. In Cole's last 6 starts he's given up only 8 ERs and only 1 HR. Flaherty OTR his last 3 starts, 1st five innings, 8 runs Mets, 3 runs Marlins, 4 runs Braves. He was outstanding his  first game vs the Mets in LA and got humbled for 8 runs @ NY his next outing. Supposedly he was a little sick that game but either way I expect the Yankees to carry some momentum over to tonight, throw up a couple runs early and let Cole do his thing and keep the Dodgers in check. Again, 1st five play, not FG, I still have my series play on the Dodgers.

Yankees -.5, 1st Five, -110

Also running back my same prop play from last night which I won-

Soto, Total bases 2, +135, same odds as last night. He may jack one out tonight.

As always good luck to all!

@mrusso

 Good luck, let's get another one 

Hey Russo

hope you’re having a good day.

Nice, Cole only 8 ER s last 6 starts. Impressive. That supports his ERA stat of 1.5 or thereabouts.

Like your Soto prop as well. 

GL!

@marcus

 I certainly could be wrong but I do feel a sizeable advantage for Cole over Flaherty tonight, and that's why we're sticking with the 5 inning play. GL to you!

@marcus

Also going with:

F5 U4.5

Like game 1 but a little risky if Yanks carry their momentum into tonight against Flahertys 5.2 ERA?

Also bought the FG under 9, again I am a victim of recency bias. I don’t think Freddie hits another walk off Grand slam in the bottom of the 10th.

Also running with the Cole U16.5 Outs. With a little Dodger familiarity, I think he doesn’t go seven innings, but who knows.

Lastly, since me (I know nothing), MLB, Fox and every bar and grill across the country wants to see another game (great series), I’m running with the Yanks tonight to get the V so they come back to LA ??. Problem with this one though, is that I don’t think the boys in Blue on the field Playing the game want to see that outcome. I have high confidence that Yanks will not beat Dodgers three in a row and game six will wrap it up for the Dodgers…And you win your series play that I wish I had made!

@marcus

 You must know a little something, you've been on Covers longer than me, 2002, dam near an OG!

       Going w/ a "Lightning Strike": LAD RL +1/2 Plus ML  BULPENS to determine this game!

@BayArea342

 The BPs may very well determine the outcome, precisely why I'm playing the first 5. If it's close or tied late, I believe the advantage goes over to the Dodgers. GL in your play!

3-0, had my concerns about Flaherty, that didn't take long!

GOOD start not sure how i missed the thread .... good luck 

Does the walk count as a base for Soto?

@murbani

 No it doesn't. 

Only 2 innings but Cole is mixing up his speed and locations perfectly. All around the plate. When he's on, he's still the man. Long way to go though. 

Deja Vu for Flaherty, not really surprised.

i have cole under 5.5 s/o and i'm sweating... dodgers need to start getting hits to scare him off the mound

@Evolution215

 Cole's going at least 7 tonight, he's on his game big time.

Judge drops the ball, routine are you kidding? We'd kick you off our rec softball team if you did that, seriously!

That folks is what you call a bad beat. 5 run lead and you forget how to catch, throw, and cover the bag. If you've ever been to spring training, they spend half of practice with the pitchers covering 1st base and Cole totally misjudges it. All good, need another single from Soto.

well, that was shitty. No other way to say it  

@sportschat

 Pathetic display of baseball and I played baseball, no excuse and you're in the World Series? Wow.

@mrusso

 Such a bad beat, 5 unearned runs by a team that usually plays good defense. I play alot of 5 inning plays, these are worst kind of lost. GL on next play.

sorry for the bad beat. I played it small today and was thinking I should have bet bigger when the Yank was leading in the third.

My sentiments exactly.

Yanks commit not just one, but THREE errors…cost them that game.

Still wish they were coming back for more.

Congrats on your Yank F5 -.5 and Dodgers Win Series. Well done!
