Over/under on innings pitched for Smoltz on Sunday?

Since it’s been 2-2.5 weeks since he’s pitched competitively, I’m going a max of 5(if he doesn’t blow up). Sunday will pretty much be a “bullpen game”, I wager and, in fact, it could be that way on both sides. The Pads starter, Cesar Carrillo, is 1-1, with a very Smoltz-like ERA of 11.88.

Disclaimer: I’m also a Card fan.

Oh, btw, after last night, the Cardinals are 23-3 since July 1st in games started by Carpenter, Wainwright, and Pineiro.

Pedro has the 2nd string Mets team in Citi field.

So 5 and a 1/3, three earned runs each?

First, that would require the Giants to make the playoffs. Unlikely to happen. Second, it would require the Giants to beat the Phillies. DEFINITELY not happening.

Cards should take that series in 4…. then lose to the Giants in 6.

Hmmm. First, that would require the Giants to make the playoffs. Unlikely to happen. Second, it would require the Giants to beat the Phillies. DEFINITELY not happening.

Smoltz has the Padres in Petco. IF he can’t go five there he’s not going five anywhere.

That’s true, but in the other two as a Tiger he got absolutely hammered by the Orioles and Twins.

Your not dueling when you shut down the Royals.

@TST – Word to the wise. Do NOT allow James Loney to hit a grand slam in game one of the NLDS. You know how the story ends after that.

Getouttahere, you think the Giants can beat the Phillies to get to the NL Championship Series?
