Colby Lewis
I kept thinking that the Yankees would get to him in the ALCS, but they
didn't. In these playoff starts, his fastball has been sharp (enough)
and his junk has been working great. The Giants lineup has been scoring
runs so far this World Series, but we would have to agree that a lot of
that is as much due to the poor (crappy) performance of the Rangers pen
as anything else.
Lewis has all the ability to hold down this Giants team. I will be very
interested to see where the strikeout proposition is set on him. If it
is set at 6, I will definitely play the over.
Jonathan Sanchez
This will be his fourth straight road start in the playoffs. Since his
first start against Atlanta, he has gotten worse each outing,
culminating with his early hook at Philadelphia in Game 6. The strange
fact here is that Sanchez pitched better on the road than at home this
season -- 2.86 ERA on the road versus 3.26 at home.
Clearly this guy has a lot of talent, but the question is this: Do you trust Sanchez to be both mentally and physically prepared to bring his "A" game? I definitely do not and I am starting to view this guy as the up and coming NL-version of A.J. Burnett.
Texas Offense
DH is back, which means Vladimir Guerrero will be back in the cleanup
spot. We should also expect to be Molina back behind the plate and
proving power at the bottom third of the lineup.
Motivation Factor
It would be silly to say that one team wants to win this game more than
the other. But when analyzed in terms of need, there is no doubt that
Texas must win this game to avoid going down 3-0. It is difficult, but
possible, to come back from down 2-0, especially if you are going back
home, but down 3-0 forget it. A Rangers win in Game 3 would set up
winnable, but contest of course, Games 4 and 5.

PROPOSITIONS FOR GAME 3 All for 1 unit each: so far I am 2-2 in the World Series, but my individual props were something like 15-5 in the divisional and championship series.
COLBY LEWIS OVER 6 STRIKEOUTS He racks up Ks at a rate of nearly 9 per 9 innings pitched, and his fastball, slider and curve are all working this post-season. The Giants strikeout nearly 10 times per game. Best bet tonight?
SANCHEZ UNDER 5.5 STRIKEOUTS The real bet here is how long Sanchez can stay in this game. He K's nearly 10 per 9 innings pitches, so we all know that he has the stuff. The problem is his control which determines pitch count which determines the number of innings he can finish. I still handicap a 50% chance of an early blowup, but even if he gets out of the 1st two innings, there is always . . . the pitch count.
WILL HAMILTON SCORE A RUN - YES I love this prop. He can obviously hit the HR himself, but if he gets on base (which he has been 0.536 OBP in ALCS) he has Vlad, Cruz, Kinsler all hitting behind him.
WILL GUERRERO GET AN EXTRA BASE HIT YES +150 Line seems light since he has only 2 doubles and no HR in the playoffs. But after being forced to sit out Game 2 . . . he seems due.
NUMBER OF PITCHERS USED UNDER 9 I like this bet as well. If it is close, Bochy will use 5 pitchers. Ron Washington will go his pen if the Rangers are down, but he rarely uses more than 4 . . . I expect pitching changes, but if you actually think about it, having 10 guys throw a pitch (to make this bet lose) is a LOT.

I'm on the Rangers as well for the motivation and DH factors as they finally get to a comfortable spot. The only thing that scares the shit outta me is in Sanchez last 10 starts the Giants allowed more than 2 only ONCE . Now with that being said he faced some pretty weak bats. Looking over the Props right now.

I like it, but I just couldn't lay the -160 at my book.
Went with -1 1/2 Texas +125.
Let's go Rangers!
Good luck . . . I like the Texas Run Line play as well but it is tough to lay runs in the playoffs, and especially the World Series! Hopefully, this will be an easy Rangers win tonight.

Good hit tonight with the RANGERS and the PROPS -- I will have a Game 4 pick and write up posted later tonight.

Nice job my friend, I only took the Sanchez under 5.5 k prop and of course the Rangers but I had my money laying on the -1 -116 which thank god (or whatever imaginary figure people believe in) that covered & didn't push w/ that near HR in the 9th. Really liking the Texas +270 for the series bet you persuaded me into by laying off game 2....
