Just a first glance at today’s card, still pre-lineups. Nothing starts early today, Cubs at 11 but I ain’t involved, so plenty of time to break down, see what else pops up, and hopefully find a winner

Pittsburgh’s offense is coming in hot, they head into Coors, and Freeland has been getting hit hard. I’m not looking to lay -140 or 50 with the Pirates on the road at Coors, but Pirates F5 -0.5 or Pirates -1.5 both make more sense to me

Looks like that Pittsburgh line may have been a little mispriced early. My book is showing -140 right now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this closes closer to -145 once lineups come out and the market settles.
Still digging around on it, and I’m not locking anything in yet, but I do like the spot.

There’s probably some truth to the idea that Freeland isn’t truly an 8.00 ERA pitcher, but I also don’t think this is just bad luck.
One thing that stands out is how often he’s been getting hit early especially the first one or two times through the order. That’s what makes the Pirates first five angle interesting to me

Chandler first start at Coors. Freeland has been god awful but its hard to keep that up. I would still lean over but cant trust these teams.
This right here would make me run for the hills.
It's also the first game of the series for Pitt at Coors. I'll be lazy and use AI and paste the next post. The effects of the thin air are real, especially for the first game of the series for visiting teams.

Major League Baseball teams handle their first game in Colorado by arriving exactly one day before the series begins to avoid the worst altitude sickness. During that first game, pitchers adjust their grips due to decreased air resistance causing less pitch break, while hitters capitalize on baseballs carrying 5 to 10% farther.Teams implement several key strategies for the first game in Denver (situated at 5,280 feet):Arrival Timing: Teams generally arrive the day before the game. Arriving days in advance risks severe altitude sickness symptoms, while arriving too late limits oxygen.Hydration: Clubhouse staff load up on extra fluids, Pedialyte, and oxygen tanks, as players become dehydrated much faster in thin, dry air.Pitching Adjustments: Thin air reduces the drag (Magnus force) on baseballs, meaning breaking balls like sliders, sinkers, and curveballs do not break as sharply. Pitchers often rely heavily on their fastballs, adjust their grips, or use a gyroscopic "bullet" spin to retain movement.Offensive Strategy: Batters expect the ball to carry much further, particularly to the spacious outfield of Coors Field. Hitters focus on line drives rather than just swinging for home runs, because the air's lower density can also reduce the Magnus lift effect on fly balls.Bullpen Usage: Because the ball carries further and pitchers struggle to get their usual movement, starting pitchers often have shorter leashes. Teams rely heavily on a well-rested bullpen for the first game of the series.Would you like to know:How visiting team managers adjust their lineups in Colorado?Why the Rockies humidify their baseballs to combat the altitude?Specific weather or humidity trends that affect ball carry in Denver?

I have been following Colorado since they started in 1995. The altitude really does not affect the visiting team very much unless a pitcher has never left Florida in their lifetime. Going to todays game. Colorado has some really good hitters this year. Biggest weakness is the bullpen. Who will win today I have no idea. Best of luck in the plays you make today. On a side note the players that get gassed weigh 300+ pounds and are playing the NFL games.
