Is it over? Do the Phils finally hit a HR w/ runnerS on base?
Do the Dodgers "good fielders" get a clutch hit or two?
Does Manny break thru on Myers?
Or does this become a daygame hit parade? Or yet another tight knuckler game?
Billingsly is not Derek Lowe, who pitched great, were it not for FURCVAL--not sure he's ready for playoff baseball--he looked awful at the plate.
Jeff Kent looked like he crawled out of bed for his KO vs Hamels.
But did like the gutsy 2-0 lead (which helped nme cash in on LAD 1st H +0.5 -130)
I can't get OVER out of my mind.
Myers was a lame ass in the 1st inn vs MIL (vs Sabathia) and should have been blown out. Like a big leaguer, he settled down, but made poor decisions early.
It has to happen early, as bullpens are good, so we need both teams to get going early, esp the Dodgers. I like 1st inn runs, and like LAD 1st H again.
OVER OVER OVER.....8.5 runs=too measley, too cheap.

....................................Lean Phils for a repeat W--the "Furcal show" was awful, and Utley will prolly go yard again. Manny not good numbers on Myers, and noone else cares to do anything. We never saw Garciaparra (?), who would have been a bat in place of Furcal (granted he gives you speed)
Need LAD help to hit this over. They need more than 2 runs--and think they'll get it.

I do not bet baseball very often (i am 2-0 this year playoffs), but isnt it usually better to take the under in playoff baseball games? I know it doesnt win each time, but in general better to take under in playoffs?
I think Brett Myers gained alot of confidence from his first playoff start and is well rested for this game. Billingsley is also a good pitcher and bullpens are solid. I see the pitchers having the upper-hand in this game. I am leaning under, and would like to hear your thoughts as to why you think the bats get going in this game.

So far this seasn when the Total is in 7 or 9's ibeen taking Under if it is in 8's i been taking Over...I favor the over today..because we have to power pitchers and a couple of early runs from both teams will make over very easy...by 3rd inning i see a 4-3 phils lead and then once again The phils step it up with pitching but....
This year look at phils numbers against Billingsley!
Howard - .333
rollins- .333
utley- 400
burrell- 300
werth- 500
feliz-300
ruiz- a whomping 400!!!!! ruiz is in a big slump he needs a pitcher he is familiar with...
dodgers vs myers
Martin - 333
Kemp- 400
Noone else is above .214 furcal is 214 against myers...
i really like the over we need an early let up from myers...atlest a 2 run 1st inning but the over is the play if it stays in the 8's

The under is what you would think in the playoffs but it all comes down to experience on the mound and experience the hitters have off that pitcher..Billingsly did look good against a RH dominated cubs lineup and now the book switches on him with 4 out of the first 5 Phills hitters being left handed and powerful.... With billingsly fastball in the mid to low 90's and not much movement, he will have to be on his game100 percent for the phills not to get him for 5 runs.... In terms of Brett Myers, its Brett Myers....yes he has some confidence but he was also in triple A this year...he struggles with command and i believe the discipline hitters for the LAD followed by ome power equals at 6-4 type score..

Masta, ATL, good stuff. I watched almost every Phils game this year and I know their lineup has not been scoring runs like the last few years. It seems like one hitter is hot at a certain time and the rest do the minimal to win games. Utley hot at the beginning of the year, then Burrell, then Werth, then Howard got hot at the end of the season. I think the batting avgs for the Phillies against Billingsley are off, as they only faced him once this year that I can remember. (unless you mean lifetime, not this year?) Phillies bats are cold right now, but they are scrappy and play good D.

I was there for the Myers shutout against LAD Billingsley. LA had some runners on base but could not score. Same matchup tonight. Brett loves pitching at home and should be jacked up with the LOUD crowd. I am leaning under, GO PHILS!

Most Dodgers have less han 10 career at bats against Billingsley. Not a good sample to choose from specially with Ruiz only having 5 career at bats against him. Dont pay much attention to those stats
