Best MLB Playoff bets October 16th

• Tyler Glasnow Under 5.5 Strikeouts
• Blue Jays at Mariners – Toronto

Tyler Glasnow Under 5.5 Strikeouts

During the first two games of the National League Championship Series, the Dodgers have been dominant on the mound. In the first game, Blake Snell struck out ten batters, while in the second game, Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out seven batters.

Now, it is Glasnow’s turn to return to Dodger Stadium. The right-handed pitcher has already faced the Brewers twice this season, and in all of those outings, he has struck out between five and six batters.

Even though Milwaukee is only playing its third game away from home during the playoffs, both of the opposition openers in the Chicago series did not make it past the fifth inning of their respective games.

With eight strikeouts against the Phillies in the walk-off victory of the National League Championship Series, Glasnow has surpassed six strikeouts in each of his four consecutive home starts.

As a result of the first two games, the Los Angeles bullpen has had plenty time to rest, and Glasnow will not be required to pitch for the remainder of the game.

Blue Jays at Mariners – Toronto

It was a home shot hit by Julio Rodriguez in the first inning of Game 3 that gave Seattle a 2-0 lead early on in the game. From that point on, things went from bad to worse, as Toronto scored five runs in the third inning and went on to win the game by a score of 13-4.

Max Scherzer, an experienced right-handed pitcher, will make his debut appearance in the postseason pitching rotation for the Blue Jays now that they have revived their team. Scherzer has not thrown a pitch since the 24th of September, when he was defeated by Boston by a score of 7-1. During that game, he allowed 10 hits and four runs.

In the playoffs, Seattle’s lineup has not exactly been a dominant force at home, as they have only managed to score a total of 12 runs over the course of 43 innings.

Since the triumph over Detroit in Game 2 of the Annual League Championship Series on October 5, Luis Castillo has not started a game. As a result of the fact that he threw in relief during the marathon that was Game 5 against the Tigers, we will see how big of an impact that has on rhythm moving into tonight.

On the road, Toronto has a record of 2-1 in the postseason, with their only defeat coming in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against New York, where they blew a 6-1 lead.

Let’s see if Scherzer can ride the excitement of last night’s triumph and help Toronto square the American League Championship Series at 2-2, despite the fact that he is getting close to the end of the line.
