Chris Taylor made some wild history in Game 5 of the NLCS and the Dodgers needed every bit of it

Chris Taylor is forever in baseball history now.

The Dodgers had their backs against the wall going into Game 5 of the NLCS against the Braves and they responded perfectly.

Well, I should say, Chris Taylor responded perfectly. This dude truly had himself a night of nights. We witnessed literally one of the greatest postseason performances ever on Thursday night.

Taylor hit three home runs against the Dodgers in Game 5. Not one. Not two. Three. That just doesn’t happen very often, y’all.

He made plenty of history on his way to leading the Dodgers to their win. He’s just the 12th player in MLB history to hit three homers in a postseason game.

He’s also the only player in MLB history to hit three homers in an elimination game.

The only player. Ever.

This gets even wilder when you realize how Taylor was playing leading up to this explosion.

That’s certainly worth the curtain call he got after heading into the dugout the final time.

Very, very well deserved. Fans were stoked for him.

Charles Barkley se adelantó a decir que los Braves barrerían a los Dodgers en el juego 3

El martes fue un día terrible para los Atlanta Braves. En el partido contra Dodgers y faltando cinco outs para lograr una ventaja de 3-0 en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Nacional, los Braves vieron cómo se les iba por las manos esa ventaja …

El martes fue un día terrible para los Atlanta Braves. En el partido contra Dodgers y faltando cinco outs para lograr una ventaja de 3-0 en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Nacional, los Braves vieron cómo se les iba por las manos esa ventaja cuando Cody Bellinger empató el partido con un jonrón de tres carreras en la octava entrada.

Al final, los Dodgers ganaron el partido 6-5. Mientras que los Braves tienen el tiempo contado para buscar las respuestas del fracaso en el partido 3, los fans más supersticiosos saben exactamente qué pasó:

Charles Barkley garantizó una barrida de los Braves.

Mientras el programa de TNT “Inside the NBA” se preparaba para transmitir el comienzo de la temporada de la NBA, Earnie Johnson dio el marcador de la NLCS en TBS. Era la cuarta entrada y el marcador estaba 4-2 a favor de los Braves. Barkley no necesitó escuchar más. ¡Una barrida! ¡Los Braves!

Traducción: “¡Los Braves van a barrer a los Dodgers!” dijo Charles Barkley durante la cuarta entrada del juego de hoy.

Barkley gritó: “¡Los Braves van a barrer a los Dodgers!”

Vale la pena recalcar que apenas iban en la cuarta entrada. La ventaja era de dos carreras y Barkley ya estaba dando por terminada la serie. Claro que no era el único que pensaba que los Dodgers estaban acabados. Al final de la séptima entrada, la transmisión de TBS mostró las imágenes del estacionamiento del Dodger Stadium y de cómo los fans de los Dodgers abandonaban el estadio en masa.

Faltando tres entradas para que terminara el juego, estos fans ya se estaban yendo… en playoffs… contra el equipo de Atlanta. Eso es una locura.

A pesar de la derrota, Barkley siguió garantizando que los Braves ganan la serie. Los Ángeles, denle las gracias.

El miércoles los Braves finalmente le dieron la razón a Barkley. Tras aplastar a los Dodgers 9-2, los Braves se embolsaron su tercer triunfo en la serie de playoffs.

La gran historia del bate tan especial que Eddie Rosario usó en el segundo juego de los Bravos

Es difícil pensar que exista un grupo de atletas más supersticiosos que los jugadores de beisbol profesional. Para un juego con tantos errores, los jugadores harán uso de lo que sea para buscar un poco de suerte. Algunas veces, sus supersticiones …

Es difícil pensar que exista un grupo de atletas más supersticiosos que los jugadores de beisbol profesional. Para un juego con tantos errores, los jugadores harán uso de lo que sea para buscar un poco de suerte. Algunas veces, sus supersticiones pagan a lo grande. Si no nos creen, pregúntenle al jardinero de los Braves de Atlanta Eddie Rosario.

El domingo en la noche, los Braves consiguieron una ventaja de 2-0 en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Nacional contra los Dodgers cuando Rosario conectó una línea que partió el diamante por segunda base y que Corey Seager no pudo parar. Fue el cuarto hit del partido para Rosario, y nos enteramos que fue con un bate que tiene una gran historia.

Mientras Kenley Jansen, relevista de los Dodgers, calentaba para entrar al juego, Rosario regresó al dugout para tomar el bate que había guardado como trofeo de su ciclo del 19 de septiembre.

Traducción: Esto es increíble. ¡Gracias por compartirlo!

“Entré al dugout y tenía el bate del ciclo que había guardado como trofeo. Ese bate nunca falla”.

No, Eddie, ese bate no falla.

Amo el beisbol.

Cuando Rosario regresó con el bate, lo único que necesitó fue un lanzamiento para dejar a Dodgers en el campo.

Traducción: ¡¡¡OTRO DÍA, OTRO #WALKOFF!!!

Ese bate debe ser realmente especial. Como pudieron ver, fue el mismo bate que utilizó en el juego del 19 de septiembre.

Traducción: Aquí lo tienen: Eddie Rosario de los #Braves usando el bate de su racha (derecha) para lograr un hit que dejó a Dodgers en el campo en el segundo juego de la NLCS (izquierda).

Las últimas cinco veces que ha usado este bate, Rosario ha aumentado su racha y ha logrado un hit para ganar el partido en un juego de #postemporada

Habrá que ver si Rosario lleva ese bate a Los Angeles. Nunca se sabe, después de todo, podría volver a necesitar de su poder.

La razón por la que Joc Pederson, de los Braves, lleva un collar de perlas

Si estás leyendo esto, seguramente has notado lo mismo que nosotros: Joc Pederson, jardinero de los Atlanta Braves que van ganando en playoffs ante los Dodgers, comenzó a portar un collar de perlas durante los juegos. ¿Qué onda con eso? La respuesta …

Si estás leyendo esto, seguramente has notado lo mismo que nosotros: Joc Pederson, jardinero de los Atlanta Braves que van ganando en playoffs ante los Dodgers, comenzó a portar un collar de perlas durante los juegos.

¿Qué onda con eso?

La respuesta no está del todo clara, pero a Pederson lo han cuestionado bastante al respecto y ha dado varias respuestas. Lo que sí es que es un gran detalle, que podría convertirse en un símbolo de la buena suert (ya saben lo supersticiosos que pueden ser los jugadores de beisbol). El zurdo bateó un home run ante los Milwaukee Brewers la semana pasada portando sus perlas.

Echemos un vistazo a sus explicaciones sobre las perlas:

Julio Urías dejó a los fans decepcionados en la segunda derrota de Dodgers

Las cosas iban bien, cuando Julio Urías se subió al montículo en la octava entrada como relevista.

Los LA Dodgers se han vuelto a poner en la cuerda floja camino a la Serie Mundial, después de perder el segundo juego concecutivo ante los Braves el domingo por la noche.

Las cosas iban bien, cuando Julio Urías se subió al montículo en la octava entrada como relevista. Los Dodgers llevaban una ventaja de 4-2 y Urías lo “único” que necesitaba hacer era ponchar a tres bateadores y dejar que corriera la novena entrada para que Los Ángeles se llevara su primer triunfo a casa.

En lugar de eso, al mexicano le anotaron dos carreras para el empate. Y el partido terminó con el triunfo de los Braves, 5-4, después de que Kenley Jansen dejara pasar la carrera del triunfo de los Braves.

Los Dodgers todavía pueden despertar, así como los hicieron ante los San Francisco Giants. Sin embargo, las cosas se pudieron difíciles el domingo y los aficionados no están contentos con Urías:

Otros aficionados optaron por no cargarle la mano a Urías, y más bien fueron críticos con la decisión de Dave Roberts por poner al pitcher mexicano de relevista.

Al respecto, Roberts se justificó explicando que: “No había lanzado un bullpen y era la mejor opción en ese momento. Estaba preparado para eso. Era un lugar perfecto para él.”

Los fans tienen sus dudas:

Atlanta Braves at Tampa Bay Rays odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tuesday’s Atlanta Braves at Tampa Bay Rays sports betting odds and lines, with MLB betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Atlanta Braves (2-2) visit the Tampa Bay Rays (3-1) at Tropicana Field Tuesday evening with first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. ET. We analyze the Braves-Rays MLB betting odds and lines, with picks and best bets.

Braves at Rays: Projected starting pitchers

RHP Kyle Wright vs. RHP Yonny Chirinos

Wright (2019): 0-3, 8.69 ERA in 19 2/3 IP

  • A former first-round draft choice (2017), Wright began last season in the Atlanta rotation. The now-24-year-old was farmed out after three starts and went on to log a 4.17 ERA in 21 starts at Class Triple-A.
  • A well-rested bullpen – one that has pitched better than its 4.67 ERA would indicate – is behind Wright in this one.

Chirinos (2019): 9-5, 3.85 ERA in 133 1/3 IP

  • Chirinos had a 2.88 ERA through his first 14 starts last season, and the 26-year-old right-hander registered a 3.10 ERA at home. His career mark at Tropicana Field is 3.34.
  • Chirinos does a nice job against lefty bats (.629 OPS allowed over his career), and that’s a key to success against Atlanta.

Braves at Rays: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML)

The Rays (-128) look to be too far out over their skis with early run production and may be getting too much attention with this price. This one is close to the fence line, but the price is more likable for the visitors. TAKE ATLANTA (+115).

New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on the Braves pays out a profit of $11.50.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Pass on the run line of Atlanta +1.5 (-189) without enough value.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 9 (-110) is a solid play for this game. If Wright can hold up as Atlanta’s starter, you get good pitching and capable bullpens in a yard that tamps down on scoring.

  • No one in the projected Mets lineup has ever homered off of Newcomb.

Porcello (2019): 14-12, 5.52 ERA, 143 K, 45 BB

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 11:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Mets 5, Braves 3

Moneyline (ML)

After a split of the first two games, the Mets are slight home favorites at -112. The Mets went 48-33 at home last season and have the more experienced starter on the mound. Take the METS to win at -112.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Mets will win you $8.93 in profit.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Despite being the underdog on the money line, the Braves are favored against the run line at -1.5 (+145). They have covered both games of the series so far but were very even against the spread a year ago at 85-82, including the postseason.

This is an interesting case where the Mets are the money line favorite but the run line underdog. Clearly, if you think the Mets will win this one outright, you have to take the METS +1.5 (-176), but the moneyline is a much more profitable play.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 10 runs for Sunday’s contest. Both games of the series have gone Under. We expect the same Sunday. Take the UNDER 10 (-110).

Previewing Saturday’s Atlanta Braves at New York Mets sports betting odds and lines, with MLB betting picks, tips and best bets.

[jwplayer 0s1eX6eJ]

The Atlanta Braves visit the New York Mets in Game 2 of a three-game set at Citi Field Saturday at 4:10 p.m. ET. We analyze the Braves-Mets MLB betting odds and lines, with betting picks and best bets around the matchup.

Friday: The Mets took the opener 1-0, the lone run on DH Yoenis Cespedes‘ 7th-inning homer. Unfortunately, I lost my Braves (+155) underdog pick, but don’t regret making it – Atlanta’s Mike Soroka tossed 6 scoreless innings and New York’s ace Jacob deGrom was out of the game after 5 innings. The Braves just couldn’t manufacture any runs, finishing with 3 hits.

Now to Saturday …

Braves at Mets: Projected starting pitchers

LHP Max Fried vs. LHP Steven Matz

Fried in 2019: 17-6, 4.02 ERA in 33 games (30 starts) and 165 2/3 innings

  • 2019 vs. Mets: 2-0, 3.86 ERA (11 ER, 25 2/3 IP) in 5 games (4 starts)
  • Career vs. Mets: 2-1, 2.93 ER (13 ER, 40 IP) in 11 games (6 starts)

Matz in 2019: 11-10, 4.21 ERA in 32 games (30 starts)

  • 2019 vs. Braves: 2-2, 3.19 ERA (11 ER, 31 IP) in 6 starts
  • Career vs. Braves: 6-2, 2.94 ERA (23 ER, 70 1/3 IP) in 13 starts

Braves at Mets: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated Saturday at 7:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Braves 4, Mets 2

Moneyline (ML)

ATLANTA (-112) is the STRONGEST PLAY. Look for Fried, who led all National League left-handers with 17 wins in 2019, to get the Braves in the win column. He’s been pretty tough on the Mets (+100) since his MLB debut in 2017, and there’s no reason to believe that doesn’t continue Saturday.

New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Atlanta will return a profit of $8.93 – or every $1.12 bet on Atlanta will profit $1 with a W.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. The Braves’ -1.5 (+135) is tempting, but let’s just settle for the moneyline win. The Mets are +1.5 (-162).

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the UNDER 9 (-110). Friday’s stud aces put both offenses in a funk. I don’t see the bats waking up in Game 2.
