this has the makings of a classic. big time stars on both sides...and the 2 best teams are still playing. uehara is the big plus for bos....he had the lowest WHIP in the HISTORY OF BASEBALL. hoping it goes 7.
I've been thinking along these lines, just deciding on a strategy. If it's a 6- or 7-game series, I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 3 or 4 games go under the total. Will probably play under on each game, maybe with a modified chase (normally, I hate chases).
There will be no Big Papi in the lineup in St Louis and the temps at game time will be low 50's and dropping. The Cards don't hit many homers as it is.
Farrell said that David Ortiz would see some time (over Mike Napoli) at first base, but that the precise number of games Ortiz will start has yet to be determined.
