Free Pick: LA Dodgers

Record: 25-36, -2.76

Crazy game yesterday. Today I will play the Dodgers at Philadelphia.
The Dodgers go with Randy Wolf(11-7, 3.23) who had a good season. In his first playoff appearance he allowed 2 runs in 3.2 innings but that was a home game. On the road he has been better all season. His numbers against the Phillies are average at 1-1, 4.42, but he only started 3 times against them. The Phillies send Joe Blanton(12-8, 4.05) whose numbers look well, but at the end of the season he struggled playing very inconsistent. That's why he came from the bullpen in the postseason so far. He allowed 2 runs in 3.2 innings through 2 outings. He is good against LA with 1-0, 2.88, however.
Blanton should be out of sync having played inconsitent at the end of the season, then coming from bullpen and now starting again. I would say LA has the better starter today as well as the better bullpen. So far Philly won by the better starting pitching with Hamels and Lee but today they probably don't have that edge. The Dodgers should be very motivated and concentrated as they were badly blown out yesterday in an 11-0 loss. This is probably their last chance because being down 1-3 should be too much.
With that said I think this series should be more intersting as the ALCS where the Yankees lead 1-0 in game 3 again at the moment, so I'll take the Dodgers at 2.08 or +108 with 3 units. Good Luck.
