    It's very likely. The Dodgers fans will be rockin' the house. The Cubs will be in for a long game three unless they can do something big very early in the game.

    I in no way anticipated a sweep. The Dodgers are an extremely solid group and that i can not deny that, however the Cubs beat themselves. Dempster became into no longer on his game. He had truthfully NO command in any respect, even from the beginning up of the sport. He struggled to get out of various innings, different than in step with possibility a million. a glass that reaches a hundred pitches after only 4 3/4 innings isn't solid. Hats off to the Dodgers. Tonights game is the main. Its Z's possibility to coach what he's made up of and each and all the money we are paying him. The Cubs circulate down 0-2, its throughout.

    Brent the Dodgers have been playing great baseball particularly late in the season and especially now when it counts the most. I honestly thought the Cubs would win and even though it's not over yet, it's not likely that they will come back down 2-0. I think the Cubs will win at least a game. The Phillies will be favored to beat the Dodgers but as I said, the Dodgers have been playing better ball late in the season.

    I do want the Dodgers to sweep the Cubs, but I think the Cub's will squeeze in one win tonight, but the rest of the games will be all Ramirez.

    I'll only make them my favorite in the NL when they beat the Cubs, right now, nothing is for sure.

    Yes, I think that the Dodgers are the favorite when they are in a 2-0 position and the way that they are hitting the ball...plus the pitching has been excellent as well. That makes them tough to beat.

  • 1 decade ago

    By far, the best pitching to go along with some great hitting makes them very tough to beat. Even after the Cubs miscuse this series, they still couldnt really touch the Dodgers pitching.

    I don't think so. the Philles are a great team. They have been pounding the Brewers so far and will make it into the NL Championship Series. So the Dodgers have to watch out.

    if they sweep the cubs they would be the favorite 2 represent the NL in the world series.... i dont think that they will sweep the cubs harden is starting game 3, ted lilly game 4 and ryan dempster in game 5. cubs win in 5.

    It wouldn't.

    1. The Dodgers will be tired out (they're scoring way too many runs)

    2. The Phillies have home field advantage

    3. Bullpens are equal

    4. The Phillies have 3 lights out pitchers, 1 great acquisition, and 1 great rookie starter.

    5. Although the Phillies and Dodgers are hot offensively, the Phillies offense is more potent than any other team.

    Will the Dodgers win? - Who knows? It's anyone's game.

    Are they the favorite? - Not on paper.

    To all previous answerers - I highly suggest you don't underestimate the Phillies pitching, it's better than you think.

    Definitely. They Dodgers are just playing incredible baseball! Pitching and hitting. Expect Manny to win 2 World Series in a row.
