Sept 11 v. Phillies: B. Sheets (Loss) - 6 IP, 9 Hits/5 Runs, 3 Walks, 4 SOs, 1 HR.
Sept 13 v. Phillies: Parra (Loss) - 1.1 IP, 7 Hits/5 Runs, 3 Walks, 3 SOs.
Sept 14 v. Phillies: Bush (N. D.) - 6 IP, 5 Hits/3 Runs, 2 Walks, 4 SOs, 1 HR.
Sept 14 v. Phillies: Suppan (Loss)- 3.2 IP, 8 Hits/6 Runs, 4 Walks, 1 SO, 1 HR. Now, in the playoffs, this doesn't mean a thing. But, this should give you a clue as to why the ESPN "analysts" give the edge over the Brewers to the Phillies. Aside from Bush (who was average, to be kind), the Phillies completely dismantled every Brewers pitcher not named Sabathia.
During this series, the Phillies WILL face Sabathia... and, the braintrust over at ESPN have chalked his start up as the only likely win for the Brewers.
In my opinion, I think the Phillies will take the series, but not as comfortably as those analysts think. I think, aside from Sabathia's win, the Brewers will butcher either Joe Blanton or Brett Myers. For the Phillies, two wins from these inconsistent starters is being optimistic.
