Default starter is one factor just like a qb is only one factor

ty for the feedback .

I am in no way shape or form betting any best of series because of who the starters are . The reason I list the starters is just as a GAUGE (also as something to hold some faith in) . Time after time you will see the guy you bet on that started leave the game when the game is still in the balance .
So , you can scratch the listed starters as having anything to do with what the outcome will be for that game .
So instead of thinking you are betting gaudin vs garland you are really betting on :
d. oliver 4.35 > he sucks
spier 3.48
shields 2.13 VS embree , braden , devine 0.96 , etc ,
or simply closer VS closer .

WHO STARTS IS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW MORE TIMES THAN NOT and it becomes pitcher A vs pitcher B , pitcher c vs pitcher d , sometimes guys we can't believe are coming into the game trot in , like darren oliver or ________________ .

Is nice to seclude the matchup to starter vs starter but this is not really how baseball works as a whole . Sure sometimes a guy goes 8 or even 9 inn , but ......

my plays for team to win series are :
rockies -115
dodgers -135
cards -145
rsox -180
angels -190
drays -115
