Which rotation will be the best come playoffs?

Question

Be specific and make good points with statistics to back up your opinion. The best answer will get my best answer. Im going Cubs. Zambrano, Dempster and Harden with Lilly as a backup. They could be the first 3 to have ERA's under three. Noone wants to face these 3 in the playoffs. Not to mention the 3 of those 4 are top ten in K's.

Answer 1

Its Angels NOT Angles!!!!! Come on!!

Answer 2

The Angels with Santana, Lackey and Saunders with Weaver backing them up should be good but I think the Cubs trio with Lilly as backup are better.

Answer 3

if the D-Backs make it with harren and webb together unstopable

Answer 4

The Cubs because I think Dempster and Harden will keep going like they have thus far and Zambrano will kick it back into high gear when the stakes are higher. Any of these guys are capable of throwing a 3-4 hitter on a given night.

Answer 5

i would go with the brewers with sabathia and sheets on top...that would be an almost impossible task to try and beat even one of them...especially sabathia and his dominance since coming over from the tribe

Answer 6

I would have to go with the Chicago Cubs. They bring to the table ace Carlos Zambrano (13-5 3.29 ERA, and 111 K's), young stud Rich Harden (9-2 2.00 ERA, and 162 K's), comeback starter Ryan Dempster (15-5 2.83 ERA, and 153 K's), and lefty Ted Lilly (13-7 4.23 ERA, 155 K's). This is an absolutely phenomenal rotation, and the definite best going into the playoffs. You do have rotations like the Angels (Joe Saunders, John Lackey, Ervin Santana, and Jon Garland) and even the Diamondbacks (Brandon Webb, Dan Haren, Randy Johnson, and Doug Davis) that are pretty amazing in their own right, but no one matches the Cubbies rotation.

Answer 7

I go with the angels in mean just looking at the stats makes Mike Scocia feel like the luckiest manager in the world.
