“From an offensive end, I don’t think we’re a traditional American League club with the DH,” said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, “We’ve got guys who rotate there, which gives you flexibility in National League parks. I think it helps us maybe sometimes more than some American League clubs going in a National League park.” The Angels are looking at getting Valdimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter back into the starting lineup on Friday.

NLCS Game 5 Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Phillies – 120 , Total 7.5 Under -120 The Los Angeles Dodgers are suddenly facing elimination after blowing a lead in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series and now must win on Wednesday night to force the series back to Philadelphia. It will not be easy for the Dodgers as they face Phillies ace, Cole Hamels. Los Angeles will send Chad Billingsley to the mound. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Phillies on the Road. Hamels was the Game 1 winner for the Phillies while Billingsley was the Game 2 loser for the Dodgers. It was a disappointing outing for Billingsley who was great down the stretch for the Dodgers. “The last time out he may have tried to over-prepare,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said, “That’s just my opinion. I didn’t think he changed speeds enough. He did early on in the game, and then all of a sudden it became hard, hard, hard — and he paid the price for it.” Now Billingsley must bounce back with a big game on Wednesday night or the Dodgers season is likely to be over. “He’s tough,” said Dodgers catcher Russell Martin. “He’s good in pressure situations, so I’m sure he wants another shot at it. I’m looking forward to it.” Here are the MLB betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The Phillies are 8-1 in their last 9 vs. the National League West.

Los Angeles has not played well at Arizona recently, as they were swept there back in April. “The way they started, they manhandled us in the first series,” Los Angeles manager Joe Torre said, “They were a very solid team. They pitched, they hit, they had speed and power; everything seemed to be firing. Considering how they started and how we struggled and look where we are. I’m happy to see we were able to stay in the race. We have to make sure our win streaks are longer than our losing streaks.
