colorado rockies +115 -- wow what a nice home dog we have here. First thing that jumps out at you about this matchup is how well that the rockies hit James. The team hits .321 against him but the 1-4 batters are even better , batting .379. The braves bullpen this year has been nothing short of horrendous and you have to expect to see them with James on the mound here are the innings he pitched as an away starter last year.........5 , 5, 5, 5.1 , 7, 5.1 , 6 , 6 , 4.1 , 6.2 , 5 , 6 , 6, 3, 3.2 .....so you cant expect him to pitch long innnings here. James ERA vs colorado last year was 6.97 and they hit him at a .308 average. James is a major flyball pitcher which hurts him in the stadium a lot ... I am not just talking about homeruns .... there is a lot of ground to cover in the outfield and James simply doesnt induce groundballs enough. I love this matchup of the rockies bats vs james and the braves bullpen for this game. So lets look at Redman a second. Certainly he is not my favorite pitcher in the land, but he has pitched well against the braves bats. The braves current roster bats just .180 against him and he has completely owned the two guys in the braves lineup that one would expect to produce rbi. ..... chipper jones is just 3-16 against him and texeira is 0-10. Redman pitched below average in his first outing but i expect more here. Also redman is a groundball pitcher ... I like having the groundball pitcher vs the flyball pitcher in coors. Rockies offense is a lot better than they have shown so far this year and I expect them to prove it in this game. I also lean to the over but Redmans ownership of the braves in the limited at bats they have seen him gives me pause.
tigers +110---- tigers hit lefties about as good as anyone last year and this lineup should do even better. i will be looking to play them a lot at decent prices when they face a lefty and that applies here. bondreman pitches really well against boston as the red sox bat just .230 against him and ramirez is really the only guy that hits him great. lester is sort of a hit or miss guy .. i am never confident as to whether he will bring really good stuff or not. One thing you can be extremely confident in is the fact that the guy frequently walks people and infrequently pitches innings. by now you likely know how i feel about the 5 inning pitcher in mlb. Finally putting a unit on these tigers who were my preseason world series winners.
cubs -130 ---all the key guys for the cubs see duke well. ramirez hits .333, lee hits .400 , soriano hits .455 ......ryan dempster seemed to make the transition to starter ok in his first start. huge difference between these two lineups and duke just never developed into the pitcher i thought he would earlier in his career.
mets -130 --- mets hit over 400 off of kendrick , phillies hit .200 off of pelfrey. kendrick pitched poorly in his last outing and i see more of the same. i actually dont think this guy is in the rotation come summer.
reds +150 --- simply put the reds annihilate dave bush at the plate. if you lay that number with bush on the mound against the reds then you should re-evaluate what you are doing. the brewers cannot be a profitable bet in this spot. not saying they cant win tomorrow.... duh ...obviously they can ... but no way in a frozen over hell would you make money long term laying a price that big with a pitcher who the other team just loves to see take the hill
good luck in whatever you play guys and gals.
