After a win on the tribe to break my losing streak I am looking to put a few wins together..
Record YTD: 1-3, -2.30
New York @ Colorado
Play Rockies +150
Last night?s last to the Yankees was one that hurt the
Rockies in the pride department as fans began chanting
?Let?s go Yankees? in the middle to late innings of
last night?s contest. You can tell that the players
are also a bit fed up with the fan fare the Yankees
bring with them on road trips. "People are talking
about them like they have God playing first, God
playing second and God playing in left field," Rockies
right fielder Larry Walker said. "We have to approach
them just like any other team."
Tonight pair of lefties will meet when Pettitte faces
Hampton. Pettitte has made one start since coming off
the disabled list and he looked a bit shaky giving up
two runs in four innings but the Yankees still got the
win. The Yankees bullpen should play a role in
tonight?s contest, as Pettitte will be watched
carefully to make sure everything is fine.
Hampton takes the hill tonight for the Rockies and
although he is struggling he gets up for games against
the Yankees, as he is 2-0 with 11 innings pitched an
era of 0.00. Hampton also pitches better at home than
on the road as it lowers his era by two entire runs.
Hampton also has some other good numbers to back him
up in tonight?s game. He is 15-3 at home against teams
with a winning record in the last three years. He is
also 19-4 against good power teams (average 1.25 HR?s
a game since ?97) in that same time span.
Look for home plate umpire Marvin Hudson to give the
Rockies some help, as he is a homer umpire with the
home team posting a record of 7-3, to include seven
out of the last eight. Overall the home team is 37-19
in the last three years. When he has been behind the
plate for the Rockies they are 3-2, but at Coors they
are 3-0 as the two losses came on the road. However
when he gets behind the plate for the Yankees they are
just 1-4 with one of those loses coming against
Pettitte in an inter-league match up.
Look for the Rockies to grab this contest tonight.
Final: Rockies 6 Yankees 3
