Dodgers or Cardinals, who is the team to beat in the NL
Posted by tduecen on 8/2/15 at 5:24 pm00
Forget the past, it does not matter in the present....
The Dodgers added Latos, wood, and more at the deadline and have one (if not the best) rotation in the majors in my opinion now.
The Cardinals have been the best team, with the best rotation in baseball up to this point.
Cardinals have 2 guys who could see an innings limit placed on them (Martinez and wacha) and the Dodgers trot out veterans.
The Cardinals have the advantage in the bullpen where the Dodgers have an advantage on offense, these teams are evenly matched now I believe. Cardinals went 5-2 vs the Dodgers this year and do not play them again.
During those 5 wins they beat Brett Anderson twice, Bolsinger, Friar, Nicasio and lost to Kershaw and Friars.
Both teams are a bit different than those end of May/early June match ups though....
So since both are likely battling for the NL Division Championship who do you have? Does Kershaw and his recent struggles in the postseason scare you? will Holiday play? what do you think?

I love Kershaw, but I don't have faith in him against the cardinals in the playoffs.
He can't seem to shake the monkey from his back.

Cardinals...especially as they get healthy later in the year

Pirates is correct but Burnett sounds done

Coin flip.

I think this is the year the Dodgers get past the Cardinals. They won't need the Giants to do it, unless the Giants do it in round 1 this year.

I think the Dodgers are the better team, but not by a ton. In a best of 7 series neither team is more than a 55% favorite.
A healthy Washington would be right there as well.

The Giants are 2.5 GB. Dodgers may not even win their division

Leake is better than Wood and certainly Latos.
re: Dodgers or Cardinals, who is the team to beat in the NLPosted by The Seaward on 8/2/15 at 6:59 pm to UltimateHog
I'd take Wood over Leake.

If by better than woods you mean a poor mans woods than sure. And let's just forget about the bullpen help we got

Ok
None of that changes the fact that the Giants are 2.5 back and they've won 3 of the last 5 titles
The Dodgers had a great team on paper last year, too. Go actually win something. There is no reason they shouldn't win the division but it doesn't mean they will

Why? Leake has better numbers in Great American Ballpark.
Would be shocked if Wood has a better final 2 months than Leake.
