The odd things is that while their pitching is very good they are miserable in quality starts. Are these sustainable traits? So far they have been. With all this being said, the Dodgers are better offensively, but the Dodgers are worse pitching. We know the Dodger model is sustainable because they go out and buy what they want. To me it seems that the Brewers are more than the sum of their parts. A very interesting situation. The Phillies are number 1 in quality starts but are slightly worse than the other teams in offense. Very much feel that the Brewers are a team of destiny but momentum as they say is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher.

Nice response. Seems you are hinting at a Phillie demise.

It's kind of looking that way but they still have a chance. They were number 1 in quality starts and it wouldn't be unheard of for them to string together 3 gems. Unlikely though.

Game two was an opportunity to win and tie series. Their starter was stellar. But they didn’t score.

Yep, they're competitive but slightly worse in scoring which is weird since they slug more. Who knows, they might come back and sweep the remaining games. They certainly have the talent level to do it.

Yes as you mentioned earlier momentum is a mother. Once it shifts it’s a force to be reckoned with. They have the potential to.

Being in LA doesn’t help.

Possible that this match up happens. Both lead two games to none.

Classic. Big money team and small money team. Couldn’t get a better disparaging comparison.

The Brewers continue their model of efficiency. Year after year. A very simple model.

The Dodgers continue their model, money money money.

Both are working. Brewers have no HoFers. Dodgers have 3? Maybe 4.

Great opportunity to see the results of two seperate models.
