    Point #2:

     

    The Pad’s pitching is not close to being as dominant as what the public believes it to be.

     

    • The Pad’s averaged giving up, Majors leading, 3.34 runs per game, but as stated above, they give up 4.63 runs per game against top 12 (runs scored) teams.  I know it is not fair to say that this team ERA would put them close to league worst team ERA, but it adds a bit of perspective of how dominant, or not, the Pads pitching staff actually is.
    • Latos, and Richard will provide quality starts, but on probably less rest than they are accustomed to (and will not average going as deep as they normally do regardless); I doubt their performance will be as stellar.  Bell is one of the best closers in the Majors, but running him out there for 4 plus outs consecutive (and they will, because their starters will go less deep b/c …well, they give up more runs to better hitting teams) will not work very well/long.

     

     

     

    Point # 3:

    The Pads have performed horribly against playoff caliber teams

     

    • The Pads have a winning 57.2% (79-59), and the average score is Pad’s 4.3 to opponents 3.34 for the season, and against top 12 (runs scored) teams the average score is 4.18 Pads to 4.25, not too bad right? But their record against top 12 teams is 14-24 (win % of 36.8%).

     

     

     

    In closing:

    The Pads have such a low team ERA, and have been steadily under, even with some of the lowest O/U lines this season (as low as 5.5 runs):  they are 54% under for the season, they are 2-10 O/U last 12, and their remaining 7 series; only 2 are top 12 (runs scored) teams.  So I suspect the majority of the remaining games will support a low O/U line in the post season.  Hence, I would recommend that you bet 5 units to win apprx. 12 on opponent/over parlar, should you lose that, increase your play (same play) to 8 units to win apprx. 20 (if you win, you profited 15 units), should you lose that, increase to 12 units to win apprx. 30 units (should you win, you would profit a total of 17 units, should you lose that (yeah…right) increase your play to 20 units to win apprx. 50 to win apprx. 125 units to win apprx 100 units in total.  Once you win it, start it over until our Golden Geese are gone.

    Not sure why you would say that; I would be curious to hear your thoughts on this.  Personally--my thoughts--If I was a big league manager, I would most certainly want Lato's as a starter.  He is due for a few bad starts (as they all endure from time to time), but he is still top quality... but Richards and Latos can't start them all.
