Indian Cowboy 9/20
4 Unit Play. Take Under 7.5 between Colorado vs. Arizona (Sunday @ 4:10pm est). Indeed, we are on the under with Ubaldo on the bounce-back. Ubaldo had a rough start against San Fran and gave up 6 runs in less than 3 innings in his last effort. Considering Ubaldo is on a massive win streak and was on a great streak of consecutive starts that brought his era down to 3.55 (despite pitching in Coors), his last start was out of character. I expect him to be back in form today with a quality start. In that same token, with Arizona coming off a loss today by a score of 4-10 to the hands of the Rockies, I expect Haren to do well today. Remember, Haren has pitched five straight quality starts and it is clear he has not quit on the season as his era has now dipped to 2.79 as he is clearly earning his paycheck. When he last faced the Rockies he pitched very well in Coors by giving up just two runs but the dbacks went on to lose that game 4-5 as he picked up a no-decision. I expect him to look for the win this time around - and I expect Jiminez to have a good bounce-back start. You can learn a lot from a game from the line that is placed on it. With Arizona being favored here and the public on the Rockies to a bit stronger tee, I expect this to be a competitive game and it is indicative that Haren will likely have a strong start. The Under is 14-3 in Jiminez's last 17 starts overall and the Under is 4-0 of late for Haren at home when he starts as a favorite.
Good luck,
IC
