Thanks mjm1012, GL to you also brother… BOL to you also iamsok….BountyHunter13, thanks buddy GL to you too…Julespussy, nope, not concerned, interested, but not concerned, I may ‘up’ my play before first pitch depending on how good it gets.  Two small market teams, it doesn’t take as much to move the lines early.  This game got a little bit of action really early yesterday afternoon, climbed until early this morning, then started dropping.  Be careful reading the Tea leafs, they don’t always say what they appear to be saying

Good run bro
Rockies win today, book it.  

My God, they suck worse than the Nats, their bullpen is simply toxic right now. Only one good arm (Miller) and they never pitch him.

Bettencourt at the end of a great career. Tough to watch him get shelled like that.

GL today

I am going to make a play today. I talked some trash here and do not make many real plays, I mostly just degenerate bet a couple of bucks here and there. This one I really like;

Rockies/Nats F5 Under 6 -125 at 5 Dimes

Hope it helps the cause.

I have intently watched this  team and the weather patterns here in Denver for 15 years, it has taken me a long time to make money and/or sense out of what is definitely a unique situation. I have been making pretty decent scratch off of them now for about 1-2 years. You and I both know that does not really mean S H I T in the grand scheme of gambling.  I hope I have an edge on the computers but it may just be variance.

Cheers good luck today, I tailed you on the Snakes so I accept all the blame if they lose.

BOL Crash...  As far as Denver weather in baseball, pitchers who rely on changing speeds predominantly do well, those that rely on breaking pitches tend to get rocked even if they are dominant elsewhere.  Fastballs travels about 2mph faster, so change ups are more devastating, but breaking pitches break substantially less.  Some quality pitchers cannot get any noticeable breaks to their stuff, and then get frustrated and pummeled
