Game: Arizona Diamondbacks at Colorado Rockies Aug 13 2008 9:05PM
Prediction: Colorado Rockies
Reason: COLORADO – Yes, with last night’s 4-2 win the Diamondbacks have now won four straight over the Rockies. However, the key to a Colorado victory tonight is the pitching match-up. Jeff Francis of the Rockies should hold the upper hand, in a big way, over Doug Davis of the Diamondbacks! Overall, Arizona’s win yesterday was their second straight but let’s not forget that they had previously lost four straight games! The Diamondbacks are now 9-1 against the Rockies this season and this includes a perfect 4-0 at Coors Field. However, removing that from the records note that the Dbacks are 24-32 in all their other road games this season and Colorado is 33-24 in all their other home games this season. As you can see, the Diamondbacks success at Coors Field is a bit of a fluke and we don’t foresee it continuing tonight! Francis has struggled against Arizona this season in his three starts against them. However, last season the Rockies southpaw excelled against the Diamondbacks with a 2.84 ERA in his three starts against them. Francis did struggle in his most recent start, which came against Washington, but that was his first outing after a five week stint on the disabled list. He will be much stronger in his second start since coming off of the DL. That is often how it works for most pitchers and we expect the case with Francis to be no different! Note that Francis certainly should be the beneficiary of plenty of run support today as he’s opposed by Davis of the Dbacks! The Arizona southpaw has been struggling badly and is unlikely to fare well in this spot! Davis has lasted a total of just six innings in his two August starts and he’s been pounded for 12 runs and 15 hits in those two short outings! Davis is 2-3 with a 3.00 ERA in his career against the Rockies but the low ERA is certainly deceiving! Davis has a 1.73 WHIP against Colorado and the Rockies have hit .322 against him in his career so you can see that the damage certainly could have been much worse for Davis against Colorado. Davis stats versus Colorado were also impacted by an outing at Coors Field where he allowed three runs (but none were earned) in five innings of work. He walked five and allowed eight hits in that start (his only career appearance at Coors Field) and he easily could have given up a lot more damage in that poor effort at Coors. We look for another rough outing from Davis on Wednesday night in Colorado. That’s why this one, behind a strong start from Francis, will be all Rockies!

BOSTON RL (-118) over Texas
Last night's game was wild as Boston started out with a 10-0 lead and then they watched Texas come back and take the lead, before Boston finally won it 19-16. To score 16 runs yet still lose on the RL is not good. Tonight the Rangers will send Luis Mendoza to the mound and he has been horrible this year as a starter, going 3-5 with a 7.50 ERA in his overall starts, including an 0-3 mark with an 11.57 ERA in 5 road starts on the year. Get this, the Rangers are 0-5 in his road starts this year and have been outscored by a whopping 9.6 rpg in his road starts, while they have been outscored by 4.4 rpg in his starts overall. when the Rangers lose on the road they usually don't do it by 1 run, especially lately. In the last 11 Ranger road losses only 1 was by 1 run and they were outscored by 6.4 rpg in those losses. Texas really hits righties well this year, but tonight they are up against a tough lefty and they are scoring just 4.9 rpg vs them on the year and they have been outscored by 1.8 rpg on the year in those games. John Lester has been super at home this year for the Sox with a 6-1 record and 2.87 ERA, while the Sox are 10-2 in his home starts and have outscored opponents by 3.4 rpg in the process. Boston overall is outscoring teams by 1.7 rpg at home and have outscored opponents by 4.3 rpg in their last 21 wins overall. The Texas staff is just atrocious this year and I do not see them keeping this one close, as Boston will not let a big lead slip away again. This one is over early.

Cleveland/ Baltimore Under 9.5
The Under is 22-8-2 in Orioles last 32 games as a road favorite and 6-1 in Guthries last 7 starts vs. a team with a losing record, while the Under is 42-16-1 in Indians last 59 during game 3 of a series and 17-7 in their last 24 vs. American League East, plus the Under is 16-5 in Estabrook's last 21 games behind home plate. Jeremy Guthrie comes in on a roall, as he has a 1.21 ERA in his last 3 starts overall and he has pitched well on the road this year with 3.04 ERA, including a 2.03 ERA in his last 5 starts away from home. Jeremy has allowed no more than 1 ER in his last 3 starts overall and no more than 1 ER in his last 4 starts on the road. Anthony Reyes pitched very well in his lone start for the Tribe as he allowed just 1 ERA in 6.1 innings of work. Both offenses has been good of late and normally I wouldn't take an Under with a couple of hot offenses, but I really feel that the pitching matchup is very good tonight, plus we have a solid Under ump behind the plate and that will help keep the score way down.

Baltimore -110 over CLEVELAND
The 5-0 in Guthries last 5 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance and 8-3 in his last 11 starts as a favorite, while the Tribe is 12-28 in their last 40 games as an underdog and 1-5 in their last 6 during game 3 of a series. I know the Orioles have traditionally struggled in Cleveland, but I feel they have the clear cut pitching advantage in this one and that will lead to a nice win here. Jeremy Guthrie comes in on a roll as you can see by his stats from above. The Cleveland offense has been hot of late, but they do struggle vs righty starters as they are hitting just .258 and scoring 4.7 rpg vs them on the year. The Baltimore offense has also been hot of late, as they have scored 6.4 rpg and hit .317 in their last 7 games. Anthony Reyes was solid in his only start for Cleveland, as he gave up just 1 ER in 6.1 innings of work. I feel he will have some trouble tonight vs this offense, while Guthrie will hold the Cleveland offense in check. Take the O's to get the road win here.
Milwaukee RL (-114) over SAN DIEGO
5 of CC's 6 wins since he has come to the Brewers have been by 2 runs or more. The Padres are 4-17 in their last 21 home games and have been outscored by 3.2 rpg in the process, and they have lost by 2 runs or more in 15 of those 17 losses. The Brewers are 14-3 in their last 17 road games and they have outscored opponents by 3.5 rpg in those 14 road wins, plus they have won by 2 runs or more in 19 of their last 22 road wins overall. The Brewers staff has allowed 1.6 rpg in their last 7 games and are facing a San Diego team that can't score at home (2.6 rpg in their last 11 at home). Milwaukee has scored 6 rpg in their last 7 games, outscoring teams by 4.4 rpg in the process. Milwaukee should win this one easily.

Mets / Nats
Play : 3 * Mets -145
Tonight I am riding John Maine and the Mets to get the WIn over the Nationals and their
starter Jason Bergman .The numbers clearly show that John Maine has been far better
than his mediocre (9-7) record might lead you to believe .His control has been excellent,
keeping the baal down and inducing more ground ball outs .On the season he has only allowed
14 home runs in 17 starts .Although he has had some rough times on the road ,his
last 8 starts vs. the Nationals the Mets are (7-1) and (8-1) in Maines last 9 starts overall .
The Nats are mired in a 5 game losing streak with 4 straight losses at Milwaukee before
dropping last nights game to the Mets .Bergman has not been very good this season either
winning only 2 times in his last 10 tries .The Jersey boy did win his last start vs. the Mets back in May
when the Mets were having their own problems .I think the Mets need to win these type of games
if they want to hang in this pennant race and they have the right pitcher to get it done tonight .
