I got the perfect matchup I wanted... been begging or this matchup all playoffs long.
Hidden factor to winning this game. Phillies pitching staff may have a decent ERA, but their WHIP is horrible... it ranks in the high teens. This will kill them as they will be putting the FASTEST team in the MLB on base a boatload during this series. I will be looking for a ton of steals in this series giving TB many opportunities with RISP.
You also got to love the fact that the 3rd best ranked team ERA has home field advantage. The same team that also ended the season with the best home record.
It's the perfect story and a movie will be made out of it. Worst team in baseball in 2007 comes back and wins the WS in 2008.
GOY size wager:
14.5* to win 10.0* RAYS -145 to win the WS.
Show me that G Tampa.
