Series Plays:
Dodgers-125 6 units
Angels+165 3 units
The Dodgers have better pitching by far (deep starters and deep bullpen) and equal hitting. Just like vs the Cardinals people are talking the 1-2 starting combo with Phily....this time Lee and Hamels. They do not measure up to the St Louis duo and the Dodgers took care of St Louis easily. Hamels will not pitch a complete game. The Phillies bullpen will be their undoing here as the Dodgers can get situational in the late going while the Phillies have no shut down reliever. Lidge is not back! He was all over the place in game 3 walking 2 and got out of it with some over aggressive swinging. Game 4 he pitched to one batter. Why didn't Manual bring him out to start the inning? This guy is not reliable anymore, that's why. Joe Torre will not let Ryan Howard see a righty in any crucial situation. He'll see a lefty or will be walked....not like that idiot Tracy did when he allowed Howard to bat against Street with Street struggling for the second day in a row with a lefty in the pen
I see the Angels equal to the Yankees. Their defense, speed and deeper starting pitching neutralizies the Yankee power. I still can't believe the Yankees are here with that outfield. Their infield is great hitting and fielding but the outield is weak and will be exposed here along with Posada's arm.
