The Believer4:19 PM
Wrobleski has been handing out home runs for three starts straight and nobody has fixed it.
The Believer4:21 PM
Milwaukee are top of the league and they will take that all night. Runs on the board early.
The Quant4:22 PM
Over seven runs is 1.80 at Fanatics and that is where I want to be.
The Quant4:24 PM
Backing Milwaukee outright pays more, but then I need them to actually win the game, and that lineup beats good pitching often enough to scare me. This way both dugouts scoring gets me paid whoever takes it.
The Skeptic4:25 PM
I still think the Dodgers win this. They fix tipped pitches in a week, not a season.
The Skeptic4:27 PM
But I am not pretending either of these two finishes what he starts. Both bullpens get used. Runs, fine.

The Believer4:28 PM
Listen to that. Even he is on it.
The Believer4:30 PM
Milwaukee get at him early and the Dodgers have to chase. That adds up fast.
FT CALL · MILWAUKEE BREWERS 6–3
The Quant4:31 PM
The pitcher said out loud that hitters were on everything, and his one outing since has not changed my mind.
The Quant4:33 PM
That is a lot of hard contact heading for a lineup that does not miss much. I would rather back the runs than pick a winner.
FT CALL · MILWAUKEE BREWERS 5–3
THE BARTENDER · LAST CALL
The Dodgers hand the ball to a starter who has given up nine home runs in three starts, with a pitch-tipping problem he raised himself and nobody has confirmed is fixed; Milwaukee counter with an arm sitting under a two ERA. All three back the runs rather than a side — the Skeptic still thinks Los Angeles win it.
