Game: Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
Graded Selection: 2* Colorado Rockies +105
Analysis:
Chase Field will be the site of tonight’s National League battle between the host Arizona Diamondbacks and the visiting Colorado Rockies. Both teams have struggled to start the 2009 campaign but the Rockies were able to take two out of three from the Diamondbacks at Chase Field to start the season. Arizona won the first game between these two on opening night but then proceeded to lose the final two of the series. Colorado will send Jason Marquis to the bump with his 2-0 record and ERA of 1.93 (1-0 / 1.29 ERA on road) in hopes he can once again end a three-game skid for the Rockies. In his last start, the right-hander halted Colorado’s three-game losing streak by allowing one run on five hits in seven innings of work in a 5 to 2 win at Wrigley Field over the Chicago Cubs. He will be facing an Arizona lineup that is last in the NL with runners in scoring position batting only .211; the Diamondbacks have scored two or fewer runs in eight games this season. Arizona will send John Garland to the hill with his 1-1 record and an ERA of 8.44. In his last outing he gave up seven runs on seven hits in just 3 2-3 innings of work versus St. Louis with the Diamondbacks losing 12 to 7. Arizona’s bullpen has struggled as well with an ERA of 6.55 overall and 6.89 at home in 31.3 innings of work allowing 27 runs on 38 hits and blowing two save opportunities. Our TPR (Team Performance Ratings) Index has Colorado with a slight edge and our Player Performance Ratings Index shows a huge advantage for the Rockies with tonight’s pitching matchup. The combination of offensive and defensive numbers projects the Rockies winning this contest with an average score of 4.8 to 3.0. With another solid outing by Jason Marquis and the Rockies bats able to take advantage of weak pitching from the Diamondbacks they should be able to end their three-game slide on Monday night in the desert.

15* on Dallas Mavericks +6.5 over San Antonio
The value is with Dallas tonight as everyone expects the Spurs to bounce back from their loss to the Mavs in Game 1. This just isn't the same San Antonio team you have come to expect in the playoffs as Tim Duncan is severly hampered with his knee problems and Manu Ginobili being out due to the stress fracture in his ankle. The Mavs dominated the paint in Game 1 and would have blown out the Spurs if San Antonio didn't shoot so well from behind the arc. You can't expect to keep shooting that well from outside. Dallas was on a roll to end the season in winning five of their last six games and I think they will keep that momentum going tonight in San Antonio.
