I know the Phils have looked awful in the first two games of this series.
I know Medlen was untouchable in 2012, while Cliff Lee was pedestrian.
I still think Medlen benefited from a lot of breaks and the unknown factor, while Lee was incredibly unlucky. If I would've told you a year ago you'd get Cliff Lee at +123 in Atlanta against a kid named Medlen, you would've had me committed. The line is justified, but I see value in taking the Phils.
Thoughts?
