WILD CARD
Colorado Rockies (+158) @Arizona Diamondbacks (-164)
Zack Greinke (3.20 ERA) vs Jon Gray (3.67 ERA)
Arizona D-backs host the Colorado Rockies as large favorite of this NL Wild Card Game.
Arizona and Colorado have a lot of things in common, they share a spring training facility and have played each other 19 times this season.
The D-Backs won 6 games more regarding the Rockies in the Regular Season and they lead also the H-2-H meetings 11-8.
D-Backs ace Zack Greinke is up to his 10th career playoff start with a 3.55 ERA.Against the Rockies in give starts he is 2-1 with a 3.41 ERTA in 34 1/3 innings.
25 years old rocky Jon Gray is 2-1 3.50 ERA against the D-Backs.
The reason why the D-Backs had won 6 games more than the Rockies is clearly because of the starting pitchers.
In fact Greinke, Ray, Corbin and Walker are absolutely overall better than Gray, Bettis, Chatwood and Marquez/Freeland.
The D-Backs also have probably the best player in the lineups, Paul Goldschmidt, but overall the Rockies have more power and they can go deep and reach base easier than the D-Backs and the top of the lineup for Colorado with Blackmon, LeMathieu, Arenado, Gonzalez and Story it's just very scary.
Arizona probably plays better as a team but there is no doubt that on a single game the Rockies could be on fire and extremely tough to stop.
Arizona plays home and in downtown Phoenix at Chase Field it's going to be sold out and will be really an emotional games.
Surely at this stage Greinke has way more experience than Gray and that's why Arizona is so favorite. We saw yesterday what happened with Severino, absolutely astonishing during the Regular Season and on his first career postseason game it looked like he couldn't pitch and lasted only 1 OUT.To handle the pressure and be extremely focused will be the key for both starters,
the odds and the line is all on Jon Gray, will he be able to handle the pressure and last at least 4-5 innings with no big damages? If the answer will be YES, then +158 for the Rockies it's a complete joke and tremendous value, because this Rockies offensive lineup in my opinion is not worst than Arizona.
It's about to analyze if the starting pitchers will be a key on this game and if YES on this case the -164 would make sense, on the other hand if we are going to rely on the lineups and on the bullpens the -164 makes completely no sense.
Colorado at this price could be a value, but would I go with a rocky pitcher on such important and emotional game? Just too risky in my opinion. You know if we would escape from the first 2-3 innings with no damages probably this would be at that stage a wonderful bet having a +158 ticket that would be worth even or less, but the tough for Gray it's gonna be the first 2-3 innings and probably only a magician would know before the game what to expect.
On the other hand to bet Arizona -164 doesn't make sense to me, you are basically completely trusting Greinke vs Gray, for sure the experience vs the rockie, but also two pitchers that have a very similar ERA and like I said on the bullpens and lineups -164 it's far from the reality.
I went with the Yankees yesterday because I knew I had plenty of keys and factors in my favor and no matter Severino was to his first postseason game and eventually lasted only 1 OUT I knew the Yankees also being down on the score they still had so much power in the lineups and a great bullpen against the worst lineup on this MLB Playoffs and a team without dominant starters and significant bullpen like the Twins, playing in a loud and difficult field as Yankee Stadium.
But, today will be a different story, the beginning of this game in my opinion is so crucial that after less than 1 hour probably we gonna know a lot of this game, but pre-game is just too tough to go one way.To go with the underdog could make more sense on this game and overall maybe the better choice, for sure I'm not even taking in consideration the -164, but at the same time on these kind of games I don't feel tailing a rockie, just not enough confidence.
Hopefully this was a little helpful to you![FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]
