Well this is a big handicap, it’s true, but I really can’t see this one going any other way – Brad Penny on the mound, both teams hitting good lately, two very relievable bullpen’s – Colorado have to climb a mountain to get this one.

Both teams are hitting good lately, and facing a left hander Colorado has been hitting better then the dodgers facing a right handed pitcher, but hey, it’s brad penny we are talking about, and facing who? Well facing mark redman – one pitcher very far from great – he has a career ERA of 4.76 (being quite worse in the last two seasons) and a season ERA of 5.23! Brad penny is one of the best pitchers in the MLB – he has a season ERA of 2.67 being better every game – striking out a lot and showing great control.

There is a big advantage on the start pitcher and I can see any way the roockies can upset it.

With these two teams hitting similarly and having a similar bullpen there a big edge going in the dodgers way. Even because they have the batters to take advantage of redman fragilities and make a good result.
