Oct. 2 LDS, Games 2

ALDS, Detroit at New York (Yankees lead 1-0), 2:07 p.m. CDT, TNT
Max Scherzer vs. Freddy Garcia

NLDS, Arizona at Milwaukee (Brewers lead 1-0), 4:07 p.m. CDT, TBS
Daniel Hudson vs. Zack Greinke

NLDS, St. Louis at Philadelphia (Phillies lead 1-0), 7:37 p.m. CDT, TBS
Chris Carpenter vs. Cliff Lee

The home teams have it in these series as all home teams won Game 1. I like these situations since any road team that wins Game 2 would be going home with a split and all the momentum.

The best matchup of the day will be the late game, which features to former Cy Young Award winners still in peak form. Of course, for the Phillies, this is their No.2 starter with a couple more ace pitchers in the wings, so if the Cardinals do pull this one out, they still have a long row to hoe.

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.
