3 of the 5 he faced the national........ the other 2 : @stl, 3er, 3ip........... atl, 4er, 7ip......... I think you have to look past the starters to find the cash in these games 70 % of the time & this is one of them. Francis had 2 starts against the phils and the rockies split, his #'s were not close to good..... if we look at the body of work, both these teams are 10 gms over 500, 2-1 L3 & allowed 3 runs L3 with todays starters....... Colo has to get the edge against left handers, has to get the edge in hitting & pen over the L10...... I could see putting a # on this gm and betting it like they are if the phillies were playing the nationals........ both teams are 4 or 5 gms over in day BB........ Hamels 4-1 4.26.................Francis 8-0 2.48.......... Maybe Francis likes the sun ?
