So far, I’m basically 50\/50 on predictions, having gone 2-for-4<\/a> in the DS and 1-for-2<\/a> in the LCS.\u00a0 So i’m no better than a coin flip.\u00a0 It has been really surprising, the offense in these games thus far, especially from St. Louis.\u00a0 They scored 43 runs in 6 games against a pretty good Milwaukee rotation and are getting a ton of help up and down the lineup.<\/p>\n

Because both series ended after 6 games, both teams have their ideal rotations setup to go for the WS, so we get some great pitching match-ups.\u00a0 Here’s how the rotations probably stack up;<\/p>\n\n\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/col>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After watching St. Louis pound Milwaukee pitching, I worry for the Rangers pitchers in this coming series.\u00a0 Of course that being said, Texas’ offense is in full blown “go” mode as well.\u00a0 I see some decent advantages for St. Louis though, especially having home series advantage and getting a Carpenter start in Texas.\u00a0 I can see them holding serve at home then stealing one in Texas, similarly to what they did against Milwaukee.\u00a0 I really see Texas’ starting pitching as being vulnerable and St Louis taking advantage.<\/p>\n
