St. Louis @ San Fran -146
NLCS Game 5 – Courtesy of Tony George
I am going to take the home team and hot pitcher here to close it out tonight. Kansas City who swept 8-0 in the post season await the winner of this series for the World Series on Tuesday in Kansas City. St. Louis is finding ways to lose, and that is unusual with their resume, and the Giants simply put, are the better team. They have ace Bumgarner on the hill tonight who is hot and destroyed St. Louis in game 1, and while the Cards Wainwright is a stud, he is in a slump of sorts and that plays out well tonight for the Giants after St Louis pissed away a win yesterday. St Louis is not a good road team, and that hurts this time of year, just 4-9 their last 14 road games. They are 10-4 in Wainwrights last 14 road starts, but tonight is a different animal.
The Giants middle relief staff has come on strong and is better than that of Cards, and with a pitcher who in his last 3 starts has an ERA of 0.76 and a WHIP of 0.71 against a struggling opponent whose ERA is 4.50 his last 3 starts, at home, with the World Series in the balance, I am laying the number.
FREE PLAY on San Fran.
