Tampa opens as a home dog @ -102 (Philly is -106)

I feel very confident that Tampa will win the Series because of defense and stronger bats 1-9

But what do you guys think about the Game 1 match up?

How does Hammels hold up on the road in the biggest game of his life?

The biggest thing that I think will affect the Phillies is the long layoff between games. Having so many days off between games kills momentum (just look at the Rockies last year) and makes the players rusty. I think the Rays have the upper hand because they don't have the long layoff.

I think the long layoff thing is one of those things the media talks about a lot and uses as a crutch and hopes they can trick us into believing it because theyre "experts". It can happen, yeah. But it can just as easily allow them to rest and go into it fresh and with more time to know what to expect and the like.

I tend to lean more towards Beef's line of thinking, they've been able to set their rotation exactly how they want, and it isn't like they've been sitting around doing nothing.
