Strong Play for Wednesday

Take the Dodgers (Penny) -115 at Colorado (Chacon).

I'm normally a totals player, but this one jumps out at me as good value.

G/L. :toast:

Dodgers are a triple A team right about now. I will stay off of playing them, but good luck on your play!

I agree Dodgers are no juggernaut, but the Rockies are also a AAA team except for Helton, and they are rushing Shawn Chacon back to start tomorrow. He was awful in 3 rehab starts with Colorado Springs. Dodgers counter with Brad Penny. Huge difference in starting pitching in this one. Penny has had good success vs. Rockies in past and he is the type of pitcher that can fare well in Coors Field. Like I said I am primarily a totals player, but I've been on fire on sides (usually only 1 play per day) for the last 10 days or so so I thought I'd post this.

The under in this game looks like gold. Kent was pulled today because of injury.

Hey Spades, I wish I would have seen your post earlier b/c I would have suggested not taking the under. It was hot and dry in Denver today. Those conditions tend to produce much higher scoring games. I'd lean to the over for the next several days as the weather will remain hot and dry. The pitchers can't grip the ball quite as well and the curve balls don't snap off as well.

I'll keep posting sides where I see value. I've been hot of late. Unfortunately I don't have access at work.

Bummer. I probably would have taken the advice. I came out a little bit ahead with the Dodger "W".
