One for me
SF +115 2 Units
I like Tim over Doc and I think if it comes down to making a bold managerial move Chuck won't make the right one. Why bring in Oswalt when you have a perfectly good closer? Because you have to wait for a save situation that never comes. Bochy is managing confidently and showing faith in his players and I think that is reflected in their play. Plus with Posey they have the player hitting the ball with the most authority in the biggest spots. SF knows who and what they are and they are willing to play to their strengths. Philly is playing Earl Weaver baseball and that can sometimes leave you for short stretches (like the stretch where Philly got shutout like 8 times in 3 weeks and was averaging 2 runs per game).
