Now, we’re moving on to the National League.  This first NL preview will take a look at the East division, a division thoroughly dominated by the Phillies and Braves.  While the Phillies reached the NLCS last year, it will probably be the Braves that will emerge as the team in the NL East over the next 3 to 5 years, as the Phillies are long in the tooth and low on prospects; indeed, their run is coming to an end.  Odds and bets are taken from Bodog.

Philadelphia has its trio of aces lined up to face the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series.

San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies

San Francisco defeated the Braves 3-1 in their National League Division Series and now the level of competition raises even further against the two-time defending Senior Circuit champion.  The Giants are playing in the National League Championship Series for the fifth time and has logged a 2-2 series mark in their previous trips.  Philadelphia’s staff may be getting all of the attention, but San Francisco’s starters finished with a 0.93 ERA in four games versus Atlanta, which was the third-lowest ERA by an NL rotation in a postseason series.  The two teams split six games during the 2010 regular season with each team taking two of three games in its own ballpark.  San Francisco won each of its final five road series beginning on July 5, posting the best road winning percentage in baseball with a .643 mark over that span (27-15).

Oswalt coming over has made the Phils a monster for teams to contend with this post season
The Cincinnati Reds, who won the NL Central, are making their first playoff appearance since 1995. And, for that effort, they get to face the Philadelphia Phillies.  The Phillies have won their fourth straight NL East title, and are trying to win the pennant for the third straight time. The Phillies were seven games back of the Atlanta Braves in July, but made a push and won the East by six games. The Reds were not expected to hang on, but the St. Louis Cardinals faded in the second half of the season and were not a threat in September.
