4 Unit Play. Take the Colorado Rockies -112 over the Philadelphia Phillies
The Rockies look to avoid and stave off elimination today and who better to have on the mound than Ubaldo. He has come through for them time and time again and fell short in Game 1 against Cliff Lee. By the way, give Charlie Emanuel credit for starting Happ instead of Martinez because I think Pedro would have gotten shelled in game 2. Having said that, it makes me irritated because the Rox more than had their chances to win that game. Nevertheless, Ubaldo comes off a five run performance against the Phils and I believe he will have a strong bounce-back at home today. Time and time again after disappointing start, he comes back with a strong start and even his lackluster performances are rare. Ubaldo has put together 8 of 10 quality starts and I see him coming through in a very strong effort this evening. Also, Cliff Lee pitched a complete game gem vs. the Rockies in his last start for his post-game debut but I don't see him accomplishing that once again today. The Rockies don't give a rat's tail about Lee or his reputation but want to survive and take this into game five. Lee is no saint either as leading up to the Colorado game he had given up 10 runs in 11.2 innings losing both to the Astros and Brewers. When Lee is taken to the limit the game is likely to go over the posted total as the Phillies typically give him a few runs of support anyway. In the same token, I expect the Rox to put up their fair share of runs against Lee and I think the 8 line can go over today. Heck, a 4-4 ballgame alone helps push the game over as well as I like the over as well because the Over is 6-0 for the Phillies in their last six road games and Over is 5-0 for the Rockies when they are favored by this margin. The Rockies are also 6-1 in Jiminez's last seven home starts and the home team is 12-2 with Kulpas behind the plate the last 14 games vs. Colorado.
