October 11, 2012 Playoff ProspectusNLDS Game 4 Preview: Cardinals at NationalsIn a quadrupleheader replete with thrilling action, Game Three between the Cardinals and Nationals provided little of it, as the visitors surged to a 4-0 lead after two innings and never looked back.

To answer that question, here are the PECOTA odds and projected starting lineups for this afternoon’s contest: Cardinals (Kyle Lohse) at Nationals (Ross Detwiler) – 4:00 p.m. ET Odds if Nationals started Strasburg in this game: Nationals 63.4 percent, Cardinals 36.6 percent Projected Starting Lineups: |
Surprise Me!
I really enjoy reading BP - it adds a lot to my enjoyment of the game, teaches me to look at other factors besides the obvious ones, and generally makes me an better-informed fan.
But I also have to admit that I get a certain odd sense of "booyah!" when a player goes out and makes the "numbers" crowd look a little silly:
R Detwiler 6.0/3/1/0/3/2 104-59
It certainly could have gone the other way - but I am guessing Washington fans aren't unhappy with the results.
One way or another, we will see soon enough who gets the last laugh. I'm pulling for a pitcher's duel tonight, which both of these guys are capable of.
