With Jorge De La Rosa now out for this series, which gave the Rockies their only left handed start the pitching edge for starters is clearly on the Phillies side. Here is the probable pitching match ups for the first three starts. This is a major disadvantage for the Phillies mainly because they will face two of the National Leagues best left handed pitchers.

Dodgers vs. Cardinals Preview | Pick

2009 NLDS – Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Despite this disadvantage the Dodgers are at they did lead the National League in starting pitchers ERA. They will certainly have the advantage moving forward in a 7 game series, but this is the worst match up I think the Dodgers could have gotten. Wainwright and Carpenter both have post season experience and were a combined 36-12 this year and could pitch 4 of the 5 games in this series.

MLB: Detroit Searching For Momentum In Cleveland

Detroit has done seemingly everything in its power to let Minnesota & Chicago back into the AL Central race. However, the Tigers pulled out a crucial game on Sunday against the Twins to keep their lead at 3-games in the standings. Was that victory just a temporary stoppage of the bleeding, or is Detroit ready to assume command again and start a strong season ending run before the MLB playoffs? We could find out tonight when they visit slumping Cleveland on Tuesday night.

A baseball fan’s work is never done.

We’ve spent all year building up a working knowledge of Major League Baseball and how to make a buck or two off America’s national pastime. Are we going to jump off the gravy train now that football has started? This is exactly the time to bet on baseball. The market is soft, the teams that are out of the playoff hunt are losing as fast as they can, and the teams still in contention are giving it their all to make it to October.
