PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -103
Phillies don't wanna let this series go the distance, as the more games they play, the more of a disadvantage they will be facing in the next round against the Dodgers. While it's most certainly a must-win for the Rockies, the Phillies are feeling a little bit of pressure tonight too, as they are locked in the only Divisional Series that will not end in a sweep. While other teams are at home resting, and prepping themselves for the next round, the Phils are finding themselves in a dogfight. Cliff Lee is the right guy to send to the mound tonight. He pitched a gem last time out against the Rockies, and he has proven to be a clutch pitcher so far in his short stint with Philly. I feel like he will come out pitching like its THEIR backs against the wall, and not Colorado. Even though it's not necessarily a "must-win" for Philadelphia, if they do lose this game, I don't know that they win tomorrow. I think the players feel that way as well. So, look for the Phils to come out swinging the bats, and look for Lee to be lights out tonight. Phils take this one. BOL everyone!!
