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.

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.

Game 2 NLCS Free Pick

Not Impressed with Phillies First win, Look to Next Game

I’m not impressed! Not with the Philadelphia Phillies (96-71 SU, 78-89 RL, 73-88-6 O/U) Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers (87-79 SU, 84-82 RL, 75-85-6 O/U).

I’m actually not that impressed with my Game 1 selection that I predicted on Thursday as a blind man could have called Philadelphia’s Game 1 win with crafty lefty Cole Hamels on the mound.
