Not to mention Blanton is trash, and has been rocked by LA this season.
people making all these claims without any facts to back it up
August 24th: LAD @ PHI - Blanton pitching - 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 SO
August 13th: PHI @ LAD - Blanton pitching - 5 IP, 4 ER, 6 SO
Total: 11 IP, 5 ER, 10 SO which comes to a 4.09 ERA which is BELOW his season average of 4.69. Is a 4.09 ERA great? No. Is a 4.09 ERA "being rocked by LA"? I don't think so.
But don't get it wrong - my money is on Lowe -1.5 here too. I'm just from Philly and don't like hearing our pitcher is getting rocked by a team when he hasn't(until tonight?).
P.S. Lowe's stats against Philly this year: 11.2 IP, 5 ER, 5 SO. Right around a 4.00 ERA
