How to (Not) Use This Promo Offer
The history of no-hitters in the postseason is sparse. Roy Halladay pitched a no-no in the 2010 NLDS against the Cincinnati Reds (his first-ever playoff start). And, of course, Don Larsen pitched a perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
That’s it. In over 1,500 postseason games, there have been two no-hitters (about 0.13% probability, historically).
If you want to exercise an abundance of caution with this promotional offer, though, avoid these starting pitchers when utilizing this promo.
Top-Ten Pitchers to Avoid

| Corbin Burnes | Brewers | 2.43 | 0.94 | 2.00 | 0 | 1 (first 8.0 innings) |

If I was using this in the Wild Card round, I would bet on either the LA Dodgers, who will face the Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright, or the New York Yankees, who will face the Red Sox’ Nathan Eovaldi.
I would not bet on the St Louis, who have to go up against LA’s Max Scherzer, or Boston, who will contend with New York’s Gerrit Cole.
