NLCS ends tommorow. The series isn't going back to Philly. Bookmakers don't want to give the Giants any credit. The Phillies have too many players who can't deliver the clutch hit right now. The Giants aren't feeling any pressure, no one picked them to win. The Phillies hate playing at AT&T. Is there any hitter on the Phillies that the Giants fear right now. I have the Phillies to win the WS at 10-1 and I made that bet when they 7 games out in the division. I had more faith in them than most and I'm telling you this series is over.

line is right where it should be........and as far bookmakers not giving any credit to SF.......every book will need SF.........because the players have the mentality that philly wont lose........it is already up to -22 i have all philly money so far

The wrong team is favored. We have hit halladay decently this year. Pitchers we struggle with are ones that dont throw strikes and keep the ball away and down. Halladay will be in the strike zone and we should be able to get a couple i hope. But no reason the phillies should be favored here i believe looking at everything.

i dont disagree with any of that.....but the line is correct gievn the fact that even at phil -20 the public is all over the phillies already.....that was my point...who is going to win or lose isnt relevant

Thats true i guess. If any city pumps up bad lines more than philly i want to see it. I'm just surprised sharper bigger money players haven't evened the line out. No doubt public east coast players will be on the phils regardless of the number. But the way this line is moving i see a lot of desperate philly betters looking to get even and digging a bigger hole. I think a lot of people hear the name Halladay and assume that he is going to win no matter what happens instead of looking at the fundamentals and the bigger picture with the game.

By the way im not saying the Giants are a lock to win this game or anything. Its baseball and anything can happen. But i believe the giants should be favored coming into the game if the line was correct.

i actually think giants would be small favorite if this was a 2-2 series.

I was wrong Lincecum looked like he used some "Chronic" before the game to relax. What's amazing is that two games in a row with these two pitchers they both had mediocre performances. When the Giants jumped out to a 1-0 lead it looked like the game would end right there instead once again the game went over the 5 1/2.
