Match-ups at each position are as follows: FIRST BASE: The Dodgers' Steve Garvey, tough offensively and defen- sively, hit .298 with 33 homers and 115 RBI's. The Phillies' Richie Hebner, hitting .285 with 18 homers and 62 RBI's is new to the position. SECOND BASE: Dave Lopes of the Dodgers, a .283 hitter with 46 stolen bases makes things happen on the base paths. Ted Sizemore batted .281 with 47 RBI's for the Phillies. SHORTSTOP: Both teams possess excellent fielding shortstops. Bill Russell of the Dodgers hit .278 with 51 RBI's. Philadelphia's Larry Bowa hit .280 with 41 RBI's, but committed only 13 errors. THIRD BASE: Mike Schmidt of the Phillies hit .275 with 38 homers and 101 RBJ's, and is also an excellent fielder. Ron Cey of Los Angeles, also supports impressive figures with 30 homers and 110 RBI's. LEFT FIELD: The Phillies' Greg Luzinski, an adequate fielder with a powerful bat, hit .309 with 39 homers and 139 RBI's. The Dodgers' Dusty Baker, who hit .291 with 30 homers and 86 RBI's, has the advantage over Luzinski in fielding. CENTER FIELD: Gary Maddox of the Phi'llies, patrols the outfield with' great speed and range. He hit .293 with 14 homers and 74 RBI's. The Dodgers' Rick Monday has played hurt most of the season, -but when healthy can provide offensive punch. RIGHT FIELD: A good match up. Los Angeles' Reggie Smith, good defensively with a strong arm, hit .306 with 32 homers and 87 RBI's. In 84 games, with the Phillies, Bake McBride hit .346 with 15 homers and 61 RBI's, also stealing 27 bases. CATCHER: Both teams have good defensive catchers. Steve Yeager of the Dodgers, possesses the kind of arm that runners must respect. The Phils' Bob Boone batted .286 with 11 homers and 66 RBI's this year. One thing to look for in the first game will be the controversial pick-off move of Phillies' ace, Steve Carlton. Carlton has developed an impressive pick-off, changing the speed of his pitching motion, causing many to consider it a balk. What may well make the differ- ence in the series is the superior bench strength of the Phillies. Tim McCarver', Dave Johnson, Jay John- stone, and Ollie Brown c starting on a number of other It seems that it will come the superior pitching of theI against the powerful bats Phillies.
