don't see either team scoring 4 runs here, unless bullpen shenanigans happen.
Classic game 3 pitching duel here

No way. Garcia lets lefties hit about .350 off of him and the Cards have had past success versus Hamels. Both teams can score in bunches and have inconsistent bullpens. Howard also crushes at Busch.
No way you go under with two teams of this makeup: Rollins, Utley, Pujols, Howard, Berkman alone are enough to go over.

Agreed. Personally I'd take OVERS all postseason for every game and come out ahead. Even tease them down a run to be sure.

Hamels boasts a 5.14 ERA v Cards this year.
Garcia has a 0.50 ERA v. Phillies AND 2.55 ERA at home for the season.
I hate to say it, but I'm loving the Cards again. I wish it was a better value than +125 but it's Cards for me or no play.
This will be a must-win for Garcia, whose trying to establish himself as the Card's ace. Unfortunately a few meltdown had me worried, but if he pulls off a Cards upset over the Phillies, I see him as a big dog next year.
AND Card's bullpen was looking good on Sunday.

Previous games in the series have gone over and I sticking with the over again in game 3.
Jamie Garcia gets shaken up when one thing goes wrong.
As one local journalist put it, "he's like a cat that jumps when he hears the faintest noise." Basically one bad call or error and he may not be able to recover.
The Cardinals bullpen is like a ticking time bomb. It's only a matter of time. They've been blowing games all year, so do you want to bet that it will stop?
I like the Phillies here at -133 and the Over. Hamels is good but Cards should get about 3 or 4 runs. Just too many great hitters in this series. Good luck everyone.
