I'll switch your Atlanta and St. Louis WC game. I think St. Louis is the better team even though it pains me to say that. They have .300 hitters all over their lineup. It seems the lowest average hitter is Carlos Beltran who is having a great year himself. The SP for the Cardinals I would also think would have to be favored over the Braves.

I'm just going to change one more and thats the Nationals and the Reds. The Nationals pitch in a very, very pitchers friendly park. The Reds play in very arguably the best hitters park in the league. A pop fly out most places is a home run at Cincinnati. Cincinnati has a great 1-2 in Cueto and Latos. Latos started the year off a little off his game but has one of the best ERA's in the past couple months.

The bullpen also heavily favors the Reds. Arolidis Chapman at the back end is a legitimate Cy Young candidate as a closer. One who didn't even start the year in that role. Sean Marshall is also a great left handed option and the bullpen as a whole is among the best in the league.

And as you said Strasburg is just a rumor.

If you want 3 changes i'll also change Texas and NY but i'd rather not.

I think if your dad would know we all would know. I just can't believe your father. Sorry. Until I see a good source other than HCF's father then i'll believe you.

Jay Bruce is starting to get on a roll and Todd Frazier has been really carrying a heavy load without Votto. Frazier as a rookie trying to replace Votto could have tried to out perform and struggle yet he seemed to shine. October baseball shouldn't faze him either. Votto also comes back and Ludwick has been good as well taking advantage of the Reds ballpark and his right handed bat.


The Cardinals have to be favored over the Braves at this point. The Cards have been playing good baseball as of late and are now back in contention somewhat in the NL Central. And as stated before with that offensive line up and the starters they have they should handle the Braves.

I'd rather see the Braves win and beat the Cardinals but the Cardinals are a more complete team especially for a one game playoff then the Braves. The only way the Braves win is if the goes to the bullpen early. Then the Braves are favored but thats a big if.
