Two of the best sinker ball pitchers on the mound tonight. Lowe pitched well last outing. LA has every reason not to let webb hit 20 on them. bats were good last nite. 3 to 5 unit play in order here. your thoughts?

Lowe is very underrated and while Webb is arguably the NL's best starting pitcher, Lowe is definitely top five so runs should be at a premium. I think what gives Arizona the edge here is their .820 OPS versus ground ball pitchers. I like Arizona -.5 FF most in this game."Things happen for a reason, they say, but I say there's a reason things happen"

thanks. its going to be close. I like the dodgers chances at +155Comment -
lowe ain ttop 5
az wins toniteComment -
I would bring up stats that say otherwise but you would disregard them anyway."Things happen for a reason, they say, but I say there's a reason things happen"

Well, Harden, CC, Lincecum, Johan, Webb, and even Bills all better than Lowe. And you can also Add Sheets, Dempster, Zambrano and Haren as well.Comment -
But yeah you are right ryan doesn't look at stats anyways.Comment -
which stats dont i look out?
oh, my bad, nelson cruz AAA stats
yeah, he has been incredible in the majors
aaa stats mean nothing, as evidenced by nelson cruz lifetime 235 average
lowe is not CLOSE to top 5
not closeComment -
Derek Lowe, top 5 starting in the NL?
Comment -
its not even close, he can pull all the made up stats he wants
lowe is a good pitcher, but not in webb, haren, peavy, lincecum, sabathia, hammels,harden, sheets league
he is in oswalts league i guess, or bretty myers
so maybe top 15-20Comment -
lowe is up there, better than oswalt. and I definitely like my chances tonight. well on my way to a nice payout.Comment -
i would say lowe is better than zambrano
zambrano is the most overrated pitcher in the league, he is good htough
verlander is garbage and people seem to think he is good i gues bc of two years agoComment -
lowe is good for sure, but he aint close to top 5
this game is over, being up 8-0 is a nice feeling, if i had bet dodgers, which i wouldnt have
thought az would win this one
damn dodgers
they still suckComment -
dodgers have a great line up across the board, if only they can get the chemistry going..Comment -
they need furcal back
you add furcal, they win the division easy
he is a bad assComment -
they also squeezed pierre out of the lineup, who is a conistent player.Comment -
pierre cant play over the other 3 ofs they have
he either hits singles or gets out, but i do like wtahicng him playComment -
Being a Dodger fan is very painful.
Imagine winning 2 in a row to go 2-8 on your road trip coming down the stretch?

no shit
if webb or haren are hurt, they ay in trouble
i still think colorado is just as good as lad
lad sucks a fat mans dick
people ignoring the prior 8 games for the last 2 do so at their own peril
go philsComment -
easy lemon squeezy didnt phils lose 6 straight? it happens man. regardless they are 2 1/2 out now. they make it in they give any team a run for their money in a playoff series. LAD- Kuroda-lowe-billingsley-maddux first 4
Phils- Hamels-Moyer-Myers-?Comment -
phils are better than lad by a mile
lad has no heart
phils doComment -
The Dodgers may even go on a 10-run win streak, who knows. Miracles do happen.Comment -
ha dodgers have no heart? if you dont live here you cant say that. you dont know the day to day activities that go on. just like i dont know about the phils heart. all I hear is rollins dissin the fans.Comment -
What kind of "heart" have the Phillies? The Phillies are overrated IMO.Comment -
i watch every diodgers game and every phils game
and the phils are nothing but nails, they never give up, they have a ton of comeback wins and their pen generally keeps them in games
they have twice as many wins when tied or losing after the 6th than the metsComment -
cant say for the whole team, but a lot of guys on la have heart and want to win, just as sure the phils or any team does. you see guys on shitty teams runnin hard all the time. like la rocuhe runnin out that sabathia error today. it meant nothing, but he still ran hard.Comment -
Between LAD and PHI, there's no basis for comparison. But that aside, the Phillies are overrated IMHO.Comment -
they are one game out of first place in a division that, prior to the season, everyone said atl or nym would win
philly is good
theyll win itComment -
andy laroche is god awful and the dodgers dumped him bc of it
the dodgers have half their lineup worthless
nomar, kent, martin half the time, blake is so-so
its pretty much manny and ethierComment -
I will agree though........if there's anyone that can reel 10 wins in a row off, it's the Dodgers.
On the flip side, as we've seen, they can also lose 8 in a row just as easy.Comment -
They're already on their way to a 10-win streak. Having devoured the mighty Webb, what else can't they do? They only need 8 straight wins which is pretty easy.
8 straight wins = 4 x 2 straight successive wins. Pretty easy.Comment
