2 Unit Pick #966 Take San Francisco (-1.5+1.70) over Colorado (August 28. 10:15)
Rarely do I do this type of wagering but there is some good value in this situation tonight. This two teams just played each other in the beginning of the week and these two pitchers hooked up in a duel with Ubaldo Jimenez coming out on top over Tim Lincecum. Now we get a pitcher with Lincecum on the bump at home where he has allowed just 21 earned runs in 95 innings this year along with 113 to 24 strike out to walk ratio at home in a revenge spot with a quick turnaround in a big game with the Giants trailing the Rockies by three games in the hunt for the wild card. No doubt about Jimenez has been good if not great since the all-Star break as has the Rockies as a team. The Giants Sandoval is questionable but I fully expected him to be in the lineup for this important game and help the Lincecum get the revenge.
2 Unit Pick #964 Take Arizona (-1.5+1.35) over Houston (August 28, 9:40)
We have a huge pitching edge here with Max Scherzer on the hill vs. Yorman Bazardo. Bazardo making his second start here after spending time in the bullpen is only going to give four to five innings before we’re in that Houston bullpen. Arizona starter Scherzer is coming off a rough outing in his last start on the road vs. the Astros, this kid has talent and I think he will rebound here and pitch a good game vs. Houston. To be able to take plus money here in this situation vs. Bazardo is good value
Thanks and Good Luck-Dave
