Critical Information

Can someone tell me the following?

Why not take the under in every MLB playoff game.

It is 6-2 so far this year.
Playoff teams usually have good starting pitching.
Playoff teams usually have solid bullpens.
It is contrarian as most of the public wants to root for the over.
It has done extremely well over many years.

I know a blind monkey could do it, but someone tell me why not?

Dont know the exact numbers but last years post season posted up over 60% winners on the OVER i think. I know I was on alot of them losing UNDERS

In post season, year in and year out, the under will prevail. But you have to keep this in mind. I believe that if the Oak game hadn't gone 12 innings night before last, that game yesterday would have gone over and we would be at 3-3. I also believe the umps control the totals and today's games will have different crews working them. That would mean the Cub's over and Fla under. I would almost bet right now that the next Yankees game goes over and I wouldn't be surprised if Bos goes under. This is based on the strike zones these crews have used so far. Even knowing this, I'm still considering a play on Fla over today. Good luck

I know what you are saying but you have to take a look at what gsp said and they umps control the game both pitchers will get pinched by the ump tonight which will allow for a couple walks and this translate into runs at wrigley. Though I am a firm believer in the under in the playoffs but there is something about tonights game that tells me the Over is the call. I took on the Giants and Florida game the other day and won but lost with the Braves/Cubs game Wed. when they left a million guys on! Tonight they are playing on wet grass and this will be 2 runs alone.

GL on your plays!!

I posted this earlier in the week when someone else mentioned the under. In years gone past the under was a good bet hitting at around 60%.

Howevere if you decided to have played the under last year you would have either been broke or gave up after or during the divisional series games. Here's the break down.


Divisional series: 15 - 2 (O/U)

League Champions series: 3 - 7 (O/U)

World Series: 3 - 2 (O/U)


Thats a total of 21 - 11 (65.6%) in favour of the over.

Lucena, in the past that would have been the way to go. I believe I posted this in an earlier thread. However, last year would have been the exception. The narrow strike zone put into effect last year is hitter friendly, trying to get more scoring in the play-offs. The record for this year is 11-4-1. This is only the first round. This could be make-up for all the overs last year and was only the first round. I'll just take them like they fall. Good luck.
