World Series Capping and Discussions: Tuesday October 24th, 2006
Post your comments and leans in this thread. If you have a play post it in the regular best bets thread. Remember, this is for comments and leans only.
The Cards should win with Carpenter on the mound. I'm rooting for Detroit because I have them to win the series. I'm leaning towards the Over 8 +112 in Game 3.
Robertson has had some control problems in his recent starts and I think St. Louis will rough him up. I hate laying the juice, but I am taking the Cardinals -141 for three units.
Weather conditions will be a great deal better than they were in Detroit. I looked at the total, but decided to pass. If I had to play it though I would take the over as well.
The thinking here is that there is pretty solid value in Detroit. The Tigers are the best road team in all of baseball, and they face a struggling Carpenter. Getting Casey back could be huge as well, as he has faced Carp before, and he is the Tigers second most important bat.
Meanwhile, we have seen the Cardinals struggle with LHP all postseason. Strong bullpen advantage to Detroit.
