I'm going to have a little fun here (on a small scale) and maybe go out on a limb a bit.
Phil -1.5 (+130) over Col - Francis has not fared well vs Phil....0-1 this year in 2 starts and a 15.12 ERA. The last game he pitched against the Phils (Sep 13) he only lasted 3 innings and got hammered for 8 earned runs on 8 hits with 4 walks and a HR. In the other start he lasted 5 innings and gave up 6 earned runs on 12 hits in a game in which Colorado eventually got the win in extra innings. The entire Colorado team has got to be emotionally spent from that stretch run which culminated in that Monday night extra-inning 'playoff' game vs the Padres, a game in which they used 10 pitchers and 13 position players. That was one of the most intense games I have ever seen. Phillie starts Cole Hamels who has gone 15-5 with a 3.39 ERA. The Rockies have never faced Hamels which should be to the Phils advantage big-time.
Arizona -122 over Chicago - Arizona finished the season with a 50-31 home record. They have also fared very well vs Chicago in the past going 17-8 against them over the last 4 yrs (8-3 @ Arizona). Although the Cubs did beat Webb earlier this year in Chicago. Webb didn't pitch poorly in that game though as he went a full 7 innings giving up only 3 runs (2 earned) on just 5 hits. That put Webb's record at 8-8 on the year. Since then he has gone 10-2 to finish the year at 18-10 with a stellar 3.01 ERA, and put together an impressive 42-innning scoreless streak (Jul 20-Aug 22). Overall, Webb has pitched very well against the Cubs going 4-1 over 7 starts with a 2.53 ERA (2-0 , 1.76 ERA in three home starts).
