pedro always pitches better in warm weather, so him going game 3 instead of 1 or 2 isnt as bad as i originally felt...with a rested bullpen, its even better. Hopefully Francona wont feel obligated to leave him out there too long.
All that being said, the cards are a totally different team at home. And their lineup wont stay quiet for long. Going up 2-0 was absolutely huge for us, considering the cards havent lost at home yet in the playoffs
