It’s Zac vs. Zack in Game 1 of the NLCS.

The Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen is 2-0 this postseason.

Allowed two runs over six innings to the Brewers, then two again over 5 ¹/₃ to the Dodgers.

The Phillies’ Zack Wheeler gave up one run over 6 ²/₃ to the Fish, then two in 6 ¹/₃ in Atlanta — a game the Bravos came back and won after the Philly bullpen leaked.

Wheeler started 15 home games this season, losing twice. Zac vs. Zack.

We will take Wheeler and the Phillies (-164, FanDuel) for $100 in Game 1 and to advance to the World Series (-166, FanDuel) as well.

Game 1 of the NLCS and “Sunday Night Football” both started at about 8 p.m.

We bet the Astros and Bills.

At 10:30, our teams had no runs and no points, and we had no Rolaids left.

Justin Verlander was good (two runs over 6 ²/₃), but Jordan Montgomery was better (0 runs, 6 ¹/₃).

Leody Taveras homered, and the Rangers blanked the Astros, 2-0.

The Bills, down 6-0 in the fourth quarter, scored a pair of touchdowns and left the Giants one yard short on the last play.

The 14-9 victory was more aggravating than the Astros loss.

Split had us at -1,795 bavaros.
