ranger the suarez

------------------------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas - If you're reading this, and you are, we are thrilled to have another game seven, and are expecting the Phillies to start Ranger Suarez while the Diamondbacks turn to Brandon Pfaadt. Tough handicap here because both pitchers have plugged in the bagel machine. Both Suarez and Pfaadt threw five innings worth of bagels in game three. Ranger has allowed only 1 earned run in three playoff starts over 14 innings (0.64 ERA), while Brandon has given up 3 earned in three postseason starts over 12 innings (2.25 ERA). As you handicap this game, gotta tell you that Pfaadt's only bad start (2 2/3 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned runs) was on the ROAD. And there is NO place in MLB that is tougher on opposing pitchers than the Bank. Gotta take a small taste of the Phillies to wear the National League crown.

For your wagering pleasure, here are your spread stats of the day. New Mexico State heads to Ruston for a date with Louisiana Tech tonight, and we can tell you that the Aggies and head coach Jerry Kill are KILLING it against the spread. They roll in on a 5-0 run and have covered nine of the last 12, while the kids from Tech have covered only two of the last seven.
