My initial leans when lines came out were PHILLY & OVER and TEXAS & OVER. Hamels has been strong down the stretch and has the experience to compose himself during the playoffs. Cain is hittable and the bats of Philly should be able to get some runs off of him. But I think hamels will get hit as the giants bats have been shut down the entire playoffs and maybe going back home is a good thing.
As for the Yanks, they are crapping the bed. Texas is proving to be the far superior team in this series as they should of been up 2-0. Gas can Burnett is a 50-50 chance of pitching a gem or a stinker and from the looks of it, I will go with the Rangers getting to him early.
Now this is my dilemma, I look at the UMPS after I make my leans and from the looks of it, the ump in the Philly game is a real homer, I think he was 24-10 for the home team with an average of 9.6 runs when he is behind the plate. Anyone take the ump angle into consideration? Might have to lay off the Road team, but don't want to back the giants in this spot. Hernandez is behind the plate in the Yank game and he is a true under ump, but Burnett history with this ump is not an under trend so may still play the OVER as he is capable of getting knocked out in the 4th.
Whats your thoughts?
