I'm not following the betting line, so this is just a guess - Cards have Flaherty and Hudson the next two games. I suspect Cards are favored for the first game and the second game is even. This is not going to be easy.
Well, here's my analysis. If both pitchers bring their "A" game then I'd still take Strasburg. But, let's play nice and call it even? 1. Nats have the better offense by all accounts. We score more, and we are hotter right now (because the the Cards are ice cold) 2. We have home field advantage 3. Bullpens? I like the Nats: Doolittle and Husdon have been good, and the Cards bullpen doesn't scare me
Taking it all in consideration, I don't see how Vegas could favor the Cards.
