2-0, Up $36

The Rockies pulled the game out in the bottom of the night and Chacin struggled, but he was able to just get out of enough trouble. He only lasted 4 innings. In the other game Lincecum continued his dominance and Latos struggled.

Finally, Another Post

I kind of forgot about this for a couple of weeks. The Astros won that game two weeks ago, so I made $14. Today is the start of the NFL season (well, Thursday was), but I will not have any games because the beginning of the season is too unpredictable because of all the roster turnover the NFL promotes. I do like the Browns +3 against the Bucs, but I don't want to bet it.

In the first game I like today Ian Kennedy is matched up against Jhoulys Chacin. Kennedy is just an average pitcher having an average year, but he has been hot lately. I do not think he can keep it up against a red hot Rockies team. Chacin has been impressive ever since getting called up this summer, and he has really good stuff. This kid has ace like potential, and has dominated the Diamonbacks this year. I look for it to continue. When you think of Jimenez and Chacin on the mound, and Carlos Gonzalez on offense, the Rockies have a bright future.

In the second game I like, and what should be the best game of the day, Tim Lincecum is matched up against Mat Latos. Lincecum looks to have found his rhythm lately and that makes him the best pitcher in the game. Latos is a top CY Young candidate and has very similar indicators to Lincecum. Like I said this will be a great game, but I think Lincecum will out duel Latos. I especially like Lincecum as the underdog.
