no doubt. it will be a good series. not sure if either one will have a chance against the american league teams, but thats for down the road. webb will be a chalk both in his home start and his road start so i just think you have to assume zona will be a -150 series price to start off. something about arizona seems a little more "legit" but you cant deny how well both are playing.
all of that is true, but the webb factor is likely to make arizona a -150 or so favorite. by no means am i trying to offer an opinion as to who i think will with the national pennant. but webb is so much better than any other pitcher that will take the mound in this series that arizona has to be a standard chalk.
D'Backs were something like 6-9 against Colo in the regular season, that probably had something to do with it. Still, these two know each other like the backs of each others hands, being from the same division, and playing against each other in spring training. The public perception of the Rockies that they will never lose another game has to be driving this line. How many times are we going to hear Colo has won 17 of last 18. If something gets inside their heads, does that mean they will now lose 17 of their next 18? Colo was a .500 team based on talent before the season began, not much has changed talent-wise since, just the team psychology.
