#901/902 ASA PLAY ON Under 9 Runs – New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers, Friday at 8:05 PM ET - This total has even moved up to a 9 in some spots as of mid-day Friday and this is an excellent value on the under whether at 8.5 runs or 9 runs. The Dodgers and Yankees both have the luxury of rested bullpens here after all the time off since their respective Championship Series' ended. Not only that, all the time off is not good for the timing of the hitters. We don't expect them to be walking right into this and pounding the ball. The most important thing for hitters is regular live-game action and all the time off is not good for either lineup here. Not only that, the rested bullpen arms means late-inning runs could be tough to come by in this one as well. Additionally, the starting pitching match-up is a solid one for an under. The Yankees are going with Gerritt Cole here and he will be countered by the Dodgers Jack Flaherty in this one. Cole actually had a 2.49 ERA in road starts in the regular season and held batters to a .198 batting average in those starts. Cole also dominated in his only post-season road start. Flaherty had a great overall regular season and went 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in those outings. Flaherty is off a very rough road start in the post-season but this followed him allowing zero earned runs on only 2 hits in 7 innings in his most recent home start! Look for him to resume his Dodger Stadium success here on Friday. Our computer math model projecting 6 to 7 runs here and even if it gets to 8 that is still a winning ticket for us. We are going with the Under in this one.
