Total: 7.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
The set-up: The winner of the AL Wildcard plays the Astros in Houston this weekend in the ALDS. Both of these starters come into this game "hot" and I expect each to throw deep. Charlie Morton gets the nod for the visitors, while the home side counters with Sean Manaea.
The pitchers: Morton (16-6, 3.05 ERA) is 2-2 with a 4.60 ERA in seven postseason appearances. Morton appeared in the All Star Game this year.
Manaea (0-0, 1.21) returned from a 12 month absence due to a torn labrum in September and since then he's been nearly untouchable, winning both home starts with a 2.13 ERA.
The pick: Note that Manaea is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA in three career starts vs. Tampa. Morton went 1-0 with a minuscule 0.68 ERA in two starts vs. the A's this year (note that Morton owns a 1.65 ERA in three starts at Oakland in his career as well.) This one has "duel" written all over it in my opinion.
