Saturday: 3-5, - 2.5 units. Damn Dodgers. I'll have to remember that their bullpen can't hold a 2 run lead against the Padres, at home no less. Will be on the road the next two days so it will be hard to post much.
The only play I like for more than one unit Sunday so far is:
Colorado/ Phils- under 10 (+102). 2 units. Pomeranz and Hamels both throw hard. Fastball pitchers have better luck in Coors since the light air seems to accelerate their pitches. Off speed pitches tend to break less. Pomeranz looks like the real deal in his latest starts, even in Coors. He has not given up a HR in his last 22 IPs, and only 12 hits. The Phillies got to Guthrie in the first inning and that's about all they have done in the past week. This team whiffs too often, walks little and seems to be leading the league in useless hits or LOB. They also play poorly in day games. Hamels also has had success vs. the Rockies and fairly so in Coors. Anyways, he can shut down any team anytime if he is "on". I don't care that this game is in Coors. The fences are out there pretty deep, and there have been a number of unders with much lesser pitchers. Besides the elevation adding to the scoring, don't forget that the Rockies pitching is major league awful this year (and often in the past too).
