St Louis (or rather Calos Beltran) lived dangerously last night, but pulled off a thrilling extra innings win.
Clayton Kershaw is a pitcher I can't oppose - except maybe here. He's 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA in two meetings with the Cardinals this season and lifetime Kershaw is 4-6 (1-3 at Busch Stadium).
Meanwhile, Michael Wacha has been nothing short of astonishing, and almost fits one of my favourite betting situations - a rookie leftie power arm going against a lineup for the first time. He's a rightie, but the Dodgers have never seen him and he has gone 5-1, 1.03/2.62 WHIP/ERA and did not allow a run in three of five September starts .
Wacha beat the Bucs in the divisional elimination game, so he seems unfazed by pressure in the bigs.
I also like a little of the Overs, as everyone expects the under and the herd should be opposed, especially with potent offenses on both sides.
I notice an injured Ethier has paid the price in centre ...
Pick: St Louis Cardinals @ 2.29
Pick: Over 6 @ 2.0
94-97 (+4.47)
