It's a painful bad break no matter how you look at it, but just think of it from this perspective: If there's one ballpark more than anywhere else where a very bizarre and fluke break like that is going to happen, it would be Coors Field. I mean, shit like that shouldn't be happening AT ALL, unfortunately but the fact that it was Coors makes seemingly anything possible
A similar occurence happened to me on Saturday in an over/under... I had under 8.5 with the White Sox up 5-2 against the Royals, top of the ninth, no one on, and two outs... Addison Reed, who's been excellent all year, then proceeds to give up three straight hits (With a couple of "defensive indifferences" mixed inbetween), and this came against the bottom of the Royals' order, with .200-hitting Johnny Giovotella (Who was very good last year, but has been garbage in 2012) getting the final hit to beat my under despite being 100-percent right with the starting pitching matchup (Chen vs Sale).
Sucks when it happens but you just have to try and brush it off.

It is so tempting to avoid all that juice on favs with the RL but just like with point spreads on favs in FB and basketball it is dangerous to bet on a motivation different than the one your team has.
I hate to see a team congratulating themselves for winning I game I lost on when backing them.
