I bet Phillies +770 to win World Series.

[ryanXL977]

phils win the nl, i would be SHOCKED if they lost to milwaukee,

milw has no pen at all.
seriously shokced if milw wins this series

[juuso]

Phillies have home-advantage and better bullpen, but Milwaukee has better starting pitching and almost as good lineup.

I think I'll throw few coins on the Brew Crew to advance at current odds. It's closer to a crapshoot than odds suggest IMO.

[ryanXL977]

i dont think brewwers have close to as good of a limeup
nor do i think they have better pitching

hammels is not much worse than CC, suppan is awful, bush is awful.

phils lineup is way better. brewers have two hitters: braun and prince

[juuso]

Phils have slightly better lineup, but their hitting numbers are affected by their home park quite a bit too. Brewers have all-around capable lineup.

C.C is a machine, and Gallardo is back. Sheets will probably sit this series out, but both Bush and Suppan throws OK home games time to time.

[ryanXL977]

bush and suppan wont both have home games here. cc is game 3 right?

[juuso]

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure of the rotations, but this is what I've copied to my notes from some baseball site today.

"Projected Rotations

Brewers:@ RH Yovani Gallardo (0-0, 1.88), LH CC Sabathia (11-2, 1.65, 7 complete games in 17 starts with Milwaukee after July 7 trade from Cleveland; 17-10, 2.70, 5 shutouts and 10 CGs overall), RH Jeff Suppan (10-10, 4.96 ERA), RH Dave Bush (9-10, 4.18).

Phillies:@ LH Cole Hamels (14-10, 3.09, 196 strikeouts), RH Brett Myers (10-13, 4.55), LH Jamie Moyer (16-7, 3.71), RH Joe Blanton (4-0, 4.20 with Phillies after July 17 trade from Oakland; 9-12, 4.69 overall)."

[ryanXL977]

never a bad bet to take a dog, i aint bashing your pick
but i think phils win this series and this is the series i am most sure of

gl either way

dodgers
laa
rays
phils for me

[LT Profits]

If the Twins win tonight, i think they are a great bet vs. Rays at nice price. I do agree with your other three ryan.

[juuso]

GL!

It's good to have different views and opinions. Anything can happen here.

[ryanXL977]

yep

i really like lad +150 tmrw though
a lot

[rynop123]

I agree anything can happen

I really Think CREW IS GOING TO Turn SOME HEADS THIS SERIES

[TPowell]

CC will start 2 games so if they can just pull 1 of the 3 other games out then they will win the series. I might buy the Brewers

[ryanXL977]

you are assuming cc wins both games

[TPowell]

yeah that is a fair assumption IMO, CC has been dominant and I think he'll continue it in the postseason. It's open audition for him right now and he WILL win 1 game and more than likely 2 IMO. I'm not sold on Philly in the postseason either.

[ryanXL977]

cc was dominant last yr then awful in the postseason

no reason to think hammels wont win 2, he is no worse than cc

[TPowell]

CC won't struggle against the NL though. Milwaukee is getting very good value imo. Like I said, I'm not sold on Philly. When CC is on the hill it just seems like they know they're gonna win and that it HUGE in the postseason.

EDIT: Ryan, who do you like in the Sox/Angels series?

[ryanXL977]

i was on bosox but if beckett is hurt, then they cant do it.

i am on laa this time, for the first time in a long time

i really think philly wins this series. i may just bet them tmrw to win that game
