New York Mets @ Chicago Cubs:
overall total of runs after first 5 innings (< 4.5) /// 1.87
Last bet won. I almost predicted the score of a baseball game! I said the score would be "somewhere around 7-1" and the game ended "7-2". And so far this is my most accurate MLB prediction this season. The winning
odds of "2.50" is not a record in terms of the size of odds, as I have already won with odds of "2.70", but I can say for sure that I won the money for the last bet. Congratulations to everyone who bet! Total score of my bets: NBA 93-108 in favor of the unsuccessful, MLB 45-35 in favor of the successful, NHL 2-5 in favor of the unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-8 in favor of the unsuccessful.
New bet: total of runs in the first 5 innings in the 3rd game of the series between Chicago Cubs and New York Mets will be 4 or less. All right, starting pitchers! Yes, in bets like this, all the analytics are only around the individual stats of the starting pitchers. So let's see if this is a playable prediction. Javier Assad will play for Chicago Cubs in this game. His stats this season: 15 games, covers an average 5.25 innings per game in which he gets 1.74 runs. He has played against New York Mets 2 times in his career as a starting pitcher, and he played just perfect: 2 runs in 11 innings. That means he is covering an average 5.50 innings per game, in which he only gets 1 run from the Mets offense! That's a great stat! Luis Severino will play for the Mets in this game. Yes, this is the former Yankees starting pitcher who failed last season. I can't say he's reliable this season. His stats so far on the season: 14 games, covers an average 6.03 innings per game in which he gets an average 2.79 runs. But it's necessary to admit here that Luis Severino rotates failed games with successful ones. And he has never yet failed 2 games in a row this season. Just to remind you, he failed in his last game against Rangers, getting 6 runs in 6.1 innings. Luis Severino also has incredible stats in games against Cubs: 3 games, covers an average 7 innings per game in which he gets an average 1 run. There is a very high probability that none of the starting pitchers will fail in the first 5 innings. Bet? Absolutely!
