Wise Guy
(MLB) NY Mets vs. LA Dodgers,
Total: 5.50 | -102.00 Under
Result: Loss
Postseason Side and Total of the Year

Ouch, the Pirates leaving the bases loaded against Jake Arrieta meant it was the first time in our database that a playoff total of 5.5 or less went under. Still the percentages are well in our favor, especially considering Peyton Kershaw/Clayton Manning weak playoff resume. On the other hand playoff teams that have won at least four straight are 55-37 +15.8 units. Combine the winning streak of four or more versus losing streak of three or more and riding the hotter team is 10-3 +7.9 units.

Clayton Kershaw is horrible in the postseason. That is why we sharps call him Peyton Kershaw/Clayton Manning. He has a 5.12 ERA in 11 postseason games and was the losing pitcher in each of the Dodgers' past two season-ending losses, both in St. Louis.
