MLB Playoffs Picks – Featured Game: NLCS Giants Cardinals 10/19

MLB Playoffs – Featured Game 10/19: San Francisco Giants Face Elimination, St. Louis Cardinals One Win Away From World Series – Zito Vs Lynn

The San Francisco Giants have collapsed in consecutive games after tying the series. Extended rallies buried the Giants twice in Games Three and Four. Can they avoid a loss and send the series back to Cali?

Barry Zito is performing well in the playoffs. He’s won his last three starts and is a veteran pitcher, unphased by pressure. After being left out of the playoff rotation during the championship run of the San Francisco Giants, Zito has a lot to prove. Simply put, he’s not ready for the season to end.

Unfortunately, Lance Lynn has been phenomenal. He was an ace all season and he’s carried his regular season success into the playoffs. He too has won his last three starts, thanks in part to incredible run support. If Lynn can keep the Cardinals in the game at home, the Cards could be headed to the World Series.

Z-Code has a weak signal on this game. It understands the volatility of an elimination game and expects a battle from the Giants. The Cardinals are a 56% favorite with 2 1/2 stars. The Giants are an underdog value pick at incredible 2.56 (+156) odds.

For me, there is value in the line on the Giants. I’ve got in at +160, expecting the Giants to claw back and force the Cardinals to beat them in San Francisco.

Public money is pouring in on the Cardinals spread line (98%) and the over (82%)… that’s a strong signal for the Giants to keep this one close.

I like the Giants +1.5, Giants ML, and Under 8 with low confidence.
Z-Code likes the Cardinals ML with low confidence.
