August 28, 200619 yr The next 5 games present some good matchups...my prediction is a (3-2) record. What does everyone else predict? Brewers- Game 3 Ben Sheet (4-5) 5.02 vs. Josh Johnson (11-6) 2.90 -Sheets K's a lot of hitters and when he's on, he's on. He's due for a good outing so the Marlins must be ready. Cardinals-Game 1 Scott Olsen (10-7) 4.42 vs. Mark Mulder (6-6) 6.77 -Mulder's 2nd start coming off the DL. Fish have hit lefties all right but Olsen needs a good outing. Cards- Game 2 Ricky Nolasco (11-8) 4.45 vs. Jason Marquis (13-12) 5.77 -Nolasco coming off a poor start will need his "A" game vs. St. Louis' improved lineup. Cards- Game 3 Dontrelle Willis (9-10) 4.01 vs. Jeff Suppan (10-7) 4.77 -Willis is hot now and I expect him to beat Suppan and the Cards to get back to .500. Brewers- Game 1 Anibal Sanchez (5-2) 3.41 vs. Chris Capuano (11-8) 3.53 -A rematch of Sunday's thrilling game. If Sanchez's keeps it up, we'll be fine! I'd be happy with 3 out of 5 since this will begin a road trip. Anything better than 3 wins and we are looking good. How many do you guys see us winning?
August 28, 200619 yr Actually it will be Mulder's "second" start since coming off the DL as he got shelled in his first outing. He had no velocity in that start and wasn't fooling anyone.

How many do you see us taking? I don't see why we can't take all of them. Not many pitchers on that list scare me. Plus we get to skip Chris Carpenter. Then again I'm a homer and only hoping for the best. :lol
August 28, 200619 yr Wouldn't bother me to face Carpenter. This is about the same time last year he started slowing down, and IF we do make the playoffs we would likely see him in game 1 of the NLDS.
August 28, 200619 yr The key to the stretch is tonight's start. JJ's gotta come up huge. He always has and will
August 28, 200619 yr I'm not an oddsmaker, but I'd have a hard time "favoring" us in any game other than the Sanchez/Capuano game and the Mulder/Olsen game, other than that I think they're all toss-ups. We really really have to win tonight, it's easier to steal one at home than it is on the road.
August 28, 200619 yr One thing I love about this team is that no matter who is pitching they always find a way to win. So lets see....
