4.5** MLB play of the day

Cards/sox under 7-140 4.5** MLB pod
This series has become extremely difficult to predict. I don't see any value on playing with the pitching match ups right now and I'll look at totals when they make sense and tonight it makes sense.

Jon Lester has pitched lights out all post season and in game 1 of this series. I expect him to dominate again tonight against a Cardinals line up that struggles vs. lefties and has not been hitting much. On the flip side Adam Wainwright will rebound in a big way here. His control seemed off a bit in game 1 which is unlike him considering he averaged less than 2 BB's per 9. It's hard to hit the ball out of the ballpark as we saw last night. It looked like Johny Gomes got all of that HR and it barely made it out of the park. Expect a highly intense match up with each manager using full use of his bullpen when it gets to that point. This game could go deep into the night with a 1-0 or 2-1 final.
