true, Wood has been on fire lately, but Ortiz is off 14 innings of shutout. Wood better numbers of late, but not vs the competition Ortiz had to face. Cubs 9-5 on road in Wood starts, ATL 16-3 at home this season when Ortiz starts.
Sheff, Lopez and other not best numbers vs Wood, but that was before their hot bats of this season--and they don't just swing away but know (Cox will remind them!) to work a guy and get to that pen. AT hitters finished the regular season with the most home runs and the fewest strikeouts in the National League! Tho not sure if Smoltz really ready...
Can't see anyway to take MN here. Yanks dominated them this regular season (and all previous post seasons). Mussina's team is 7-0 vs MN this and previous three season when he starts (22-3 career) and NYY 15-4 vs lefties at home this season. Moose also off a very poor outing and always very tough in next. Can't imagine what will goes thru young Santana's head with first postseason start a day one at Yankee Stadium, but don't think it will be overbrimming confidence and focus.
Schmidt just tough at home, but I could see Beckett and this hot team pulling it out....
leaning with the over MN and AT, under SF seeing most chance of pitcher duel there. But saw lots of unders last postseason (after winning tons my first postseason, the one prior to that) But was shocked to see so many overs early, and just switched to overs after that$$. My feel is this will be more overs again. Pitching beat bats that Schilling/Johnson postseason, but bats I think will dominate and win again this time. but will wait to see...
comments appreciated!
good luck to all!
