PO,

Philly is a better team.

What/whose power ratings is this based on? BP?


It looks like Hamels is not going on 3 days rest. He's decided he doesn't want to, and also said he doesn't want to pitch out of the pen. He just wants to be ready for a game 5.

Actually, he's probably right that he shouldn't pitch game 4. But refusing to come out of the pen to potentially face a lefty or two just seems stupid and selfish.

Anyway, it looks like he won't be going on 3 days rest, so scratch that comment.

But than means the next two matchups are:

Moyer @ Jimenez
Lohse @ Fogg

The Rockies should be favored in both games. Fogg isn't better than Lohse, but the home field advantage should be more important.

Of course, the Phillies would be big faves with Hamels going at home in game 5.

Still, I see these teams as being equal, and the schedule favors the Rockies.
