Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants

After being the underdog in the first two games of this series, the Rockies are now the favorites and for good reason. Colorado won the opener of this series before dropping Game Two last night and that makes this game rather important. Colorado is seven games behind the slumping Padres in the National League West and while that deficit may not be able to be come back from, the Wild Card race is wide open. The Rockies are 4.5 games back with San Francisco being three games up on them. The Giants are hanging around in the division as they trail the Padres by four games but they have been unable to take advantage of the San Diego skid, which has now reached six games. San Francisco simply is not playing well and it has been unable to put any sort of run together. Since a four-game winning streak at the end of July and start of August, the Giants are only 11-15 in their last 26 games while winning consecutive games only three times. One of the reasons have been struggles from their ace. Tim Lincecum has hit a rough patch of late with four straight non-quality efforts. None have even been close to good as he has posted a dismal 9.00 ERA in those four games with the Giants going 0-4 in those games. He has had some trouble with Colorado this season as in two starts he is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA and 2.06 WHIP. Colorado has actually been his biggest nemesis throughout his career as he has the highest ERA against the Rockies of any team that he has made at least five starts against. Colorado goes with its ace Ubaldo Jimenez and after a small bump in the road, he is mowing them down once again. After a six-game stretch where he posted a 7.64 ERA, Jimenez has since tossed six straight quality starts while putting up a 2.57 ERA over those games. He has been a tough luck loser as run support has fallen off but this is the prime opportunity for the Rockies to gets the bats going. His 2.31 road ERA is best in the National League for all qualified starters. Colorado is 10-2 in its last 12 games following a loss as well as going 14-2 in Jimenez’ last 16 starts when coming off a loss in its previous game.  3* Colorado Rockies

We witnessed arguably one of the greatest baseball games ever. Unfortunately we were on the losing side as the Rangers had a three-run lead in the seventh, a two-run lead in the eighth, a two-run lead in the ninth and another two-run lead in the 10th and failed to bring home the ... read more

We won with the Rangers again in Game Five and now Game Six shifts to St. Louis for a must win game for the Cardinals. That does not mean that St. Louis will win. Texas is in excellent position to bring home the World Series as the team that wins game five in a World Series tied ... read more

Texas evened the series last night and pivotal Game Five is set for tonight with the winner having a huge edge heading into the final two games. It becomes more important for Texas because the final two games are in St. Louis so being up one game will be almost needed. The Rangers ... read more

St. Louis Cardinals @ Texas Rangers Sunday October 23, 2011 8:05 pm
It was a pretty ugly pitching performance from the Rangers last night as all six pitchers posted at least a 7.36 ERA while the reliable bullpen out up a putrid 18.56 ERA in 5.1 innings Saturday. I expect Texas to recover and while this is not a must win game because it is not elimination, ... read more

St. Louis Cardinals @ Texas Rangers Saturday October 22, 2011 8:05 pm
We had a bad read in Game Two as the bats did not come to life as expected. Through two games, St. Louis and Texas are averaging only 4.0 rpg. The last World Series that had an average like this was the 1963 Dodgers/Yankees World Series that finished with an average of just 4.0 rpg. ... read more

Texas Rangers @ St. Louis Cardinals Thursday October 20, 2011 8:05 pm
We won with the Cardinals last night as pitching took center stage with just five total runs scored on only 12 total hits, six by each team. I expect the bats to be more involved tonight as these two potent offenses cannot be kept down long. As a matter of fact, in their respective ... read more

Three of those first four games of this series have gone over but this could easily be 3-1 to the under as two games went into extra innings and finished on a three-run home run and a grand slam. The first meeting between these two pitchers had the same posted total and we saw six ... read more

With the NLCS now tied at two games apiece, Game Five is crucial for both sides but I would say more so for the Cardinals. If St. Louis loses Game Five, they would then be faced with the task of winning the final two games in Milwaukee which looks to be next to impossible considering ... read more

We caught a fortunate break last night in pushing the under with all seven runs being scored in the first two and half innings and then shutout baseball the best of the way. The fact that there were no runs over the final six innings actually helps us out here as the momentum from ... read more
