carpenter is a bum. i have him on my fantasy team and i don't even start him anymore..even when he pitches well he can't get a win.

why do the oddsmakers have the cards as even money or slight favs? baseball is confusing

it's a home game, oswalt is an average pitcher for the phils.. carpenter has an awful record, but talent wise is still one of the best pitchers in the game. he's had 15 or more wins every season since 2004.


i'm leaning towards philly, but this is a tight game.
