Playoffs: 1-0 (+2.0 units)
Taking the two National League chalkers folks.
Phillies -130, 2.6 units to win 2.0 units
Perfect lefty/right spot here for the Phils. They crush fastball throwing righties and Colorado struggles against lefties.
When Cliff Lee gets amped up and zoned in, he can bring it. Saw that when he first came over to the NL. He's been saving it the past few starts IMO. Colorado is hitting just .210 against lefties on the road.
Ubaldo Jimenez is coming off a high-stress start. He was throwing... HARD, against the Dodgers last time out as Rockies were fighting for the NL West. Left handed batters hit Jimenez for .45 higher than righties and Phillies have some damn good ones.
As bad as the Phillies closer situation has been, Rockies bullpen is worse. They've been dinged up for a 5.19 ERA last 10.
Cardinals -135, 2.7 units to win 2.0 units.
Chris Carpenter is in unbelievable form. He's throwing 3 pitches (Fastball, Slider, Curveball) at a level where few guys can only throw 1 of those.
Dodgers offense is limping into the postseason. Not the guy to face to breakout of a slump
Randy Wolf has alot of pitches on his arm after a career year for him, and I just don't see him shutting down this Cardinals offense. If he gives up more than 2, I don't see how the Dodgers can win this.
