Game 1 World Series

Is there any reason to bet against Cliff Lee ?
The Rangers bats are far more dangerous than SF's.
Rangers had no issue hitting any Rays starters or CC or any Yankee pitchers. Timmy has been stellar but has he faced a lineup like Texas that is hitting the leather off the ball ?

LEE is 3-0 when starting against SAN FRANCISCO with an ERA of 1.13 and a WHIP of 0.708.
His team's record is 3-0 (+3.0 units) in these starts. The OVER is 0-3. (-3.1 units)

Head to Head
Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in San Francisco.
Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
Rangers are 1-11 in the last 12 meetings.
Rangers are 0-9 in the last 9 meetings in San Francisco.

Cliff Lee has never pitched on 3 days rest in MLB so no numbers to help you there.

Lee hasn't pitched since Oct.18 and here's his record on 6+ days rest...

5 starts, 39 innings, 19 hits, 6 walks, 37 strikeouts, 1.15 ERA

Compare that 1.15 ERA to his 3.63 ERA on four or five days' rest and the only logical conclusion is that getting extended rest makes Cliff Lee more than three times as good as he already is.
