well yesterday was the total opposite of what the game should have been.....a low scoring game with those kinda of numbers?:shrug:
todays play of the day turns out to be against those damn Rockies....
Francis taking the mound makes the Rockies the big favorite but this line is terribly wrong in my opinion. Sure Francis had a great year last year @ Coors for all things considering, but this year is not as good.
Last year Jeff was 8-4 with a 4.30 ERA in 15 starts @ Coors while holding opposing hitters to a .250 AVG and giving up only 9 long balls in 90 innings! Great numbers, but this is 2007 and Jeff is not of his 2006 self.
So far this year, Francis has 5 starts at home and has been less than impressive going 1-3 with an ERA of 6.23 with batters hitting .346 against him and giving up 5 long balls in 30.1 innings
Francis does not have any significant experience vrs. current Royals batters and the same goes for De La Rosa vrs Rockies.
De La Rosa has pitched terrific thus far and batters really seem to have a hard time picking up the ball off his slashing style delivery. He has had a couple rough outings, but when he can pitch at least 7 innings, he is GOLDEN. Lets take a look at the 4 of 8 games he went 7 or more....
April 6. vrs. DET = 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 ER (Royals win 3-1)
April 22 vrs. MIN = 8 IP, 5 hits, 0 ER (Royals win 3-1)
May 2 vrs. LAA = 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 ER (Royals win 3-1)
May 13 @ CWS = 7 IP, 3 hits, 1 ER (Royals win 11-1)
His 4 other starts, the Royals lost the game....he is 4-3 this year
I think Jorge will pitch 7 or more and put up a great outing @ Coors with the Royals getting the win. He really has been great vrs. righties this year holding them to a .238 AVG and the Rockies have just 2 left handed batting every day starters.
The value this play holds is amazing, as the current line while posting this is +158....I am all over the Royals and this is definitely the best bet I have seen all year.
