Baseball Fever.......

Without getting ahead of myself, I am going to predict a very strong upcoming College and NFL weekend. However, before showering my loyal fanbase with wheel barrels full of dinero, I must first address the baseball league championship series that begin tomorrow night.

Phillies -240 over the Giants to win the series. While this is a "meaty" number you have to lay, the Giants lack the offense to keep up with the Phils. Despite a dominant pitching staff, the Giants find themselves opposing a Phillies team with arguably the best starting three rotation in all of baseball. Furthermore, the Phillies are stacked with clutch hitters up and down their lineup. Although I expect the Giants to stay close in these games, this series has the feel of the Phillies closing things out in five games.

Halladay-173 over Lincecum. Game one features the marquee pitching matchup of the postseason. Although the line is begging you to take Lincecum (takeback should be around 155), I love Halladay in this spot. This first game is critical and if you like the Phillies to win the series, they should take game one in the process. Although I expect this to be a tight game, the runline is also an interesting option. At Phillies -1.5 +150, a 3-1 win could present a nice payoff. Oddsmakers are telling you people expect a 1-0, 2-1 type of game.
