NY Yankees vs Cleveland Indians
AL Playoffs Wild Card Round

7:00 PM EST, September 29, 2020
Cole vs Bieber

Bieber is going to be the Cy Young Award winners for the 2020 season. He has posted a 1.63 ERA with an 0.856 WHIP for a 8-1 record spanning 12 starts and 77 1/3 innings of work. He has 122 strikeouts for a ridiculous 1.58 Ks per inning ratio. Power pitcher Cole has 94 strikeouts with only 4 1/3 fewer innings pitched. In nine of his 12 starts Bieber allowed two or fewer earned runs.

This betting system supports Cleveland and has earned a 112-59 record over the last five seasons and instructs us to bet on home teams with a well-rested starter on 5 or 6 days and a solid bullpen posting a 1.35 or lower WHIP on the season and facing an opponent with a 0.440 or higher slugging percentage.

Yankees are just 2-7 SU for 22.2% wins when facing a SP sporting an ERA of 2.3 or lower in road games from September 1 to the end of the season including playoffs.

CWS vs Oakland A’s

Game 1 Wild Card Round

7-Star MLB Best Bet on the Oakland A’s

Let us start with a proven betting system that has earned a 41-15 record good for 73% winning bets over the last 20 seasons. The system instructs us to bet on AL teams with a money line between -125 and +125 with a starting pitcher that has posted a 4.20 to 4.70 ERA on the season and has posted a WHIP of 1.000 or less over his last five starts. The $100 bettor has made $2,690 per $100 wager.

Oakland has done well for backers with a solid 52-28 ($24560-per-$100 wager) using the money line facing AL teams scoring 4.9 or more runs-per-game on the season over the last two seasons.

The CWS were having a tremendous ‘sprint’ season until the final stretch losing 7 of their last 8 games and 8 of their last 10 games. The A’s were 5-5 down the stretch over their last 10 games. This is also the first time ever in MLB p[postseason history that these two teams have met.

Jesus Luzardo is our starting LH pitcher and he has amazing power and control with all his pitches. He throws his four-seem fastball and sinker at an average between 96 and 98 MPH. The sinker tales an average of 10 inches and you will see it ride on the hands of LH batters making it impossible for them to barrel up that pitch. He throws fastball 55% and mixes in an 86 MPH change, and 83 MPH curve. Batters are hitting 0.155 combined on the four-seem and sinker with a scant 0.075 batting average on batted balls in play (BABIP) this season,

The current members of the CWS are batting a combined 0.218 with no walks and 10 K’s spanning 30 at-bats against Luzardo. He made 9 appearances and 7 were starts in which he posted a 3.83 ERA averaging 5.5 innings pitched per start.

The machine learning tells us that Luzardo will complete more innings than Giolito and that the As will have at least 1 multiple-run-inning. In past games in which the As met or exceeded these performance measures they have gone on to a superb 131-22 SU record for 86% winners averaging a -141 wager and making the $100 bettor $10, 830 for a 48% return-on-investment in games played since the start of the 2018 season. In playoff games teams that have met or exceeded these projections have earned an outstanding 35-9 SU record for 80% winning bets.
