L.A./COLORADO over 10.5 -103
The most extreme hitters' park in baseball combined with Josh Beckett making his Dodgers debut sets this one up very nicely indeed.
Beckett is on the heels of five poor starts at the time of the blockbuster trade. Over the last month, he has an xERA of 5.47, his strikeouts are way down, his fly-ball rate of 48% is way up and his 16% hr/f% are all warning signs that he’s suffering from fatigue, not to mention a lack of confidence. Beckett’s last quality start came in Seattle way back on June 30. He’ll now face a Rockies team that is warm and that leads the NL with 5.7 runs per game and a .295 BA at home.
Jeff Francis and the Rockies pen aren’t much better. Colorado pitchers own a 5.28 ERA since the All Star break and a 5.99 at Coors Field this season. Francis’s strikeout rate has been in decline since 2007. His ERA over the past month is 7.33 with an xERA of 4.48. In his 16 starts this season, he’s answered the bell for the sixth inning just twice. Francis is 2-3 at Coors with a 6.99 ERA. With both offenses in good form and today’s vulnerable starters, the scoreboard should be busy.

4 UNIT PLAY

Dodgers/ Rockies Over 10: I looked at today's schedule and said oh yeah we will be taking a look at the over in this game. We I did and I really like it. The Dodgers have really upgraded their offense with the additions of Ramirez, Victorino and now Gonzalez, to go along with the likes of Kemp and Ethier. Now you won't always see this offense in full bloom when they play at home, because Chavez Ravine is not a hitters park, but Coors is. Now the Dodgers new toy, Adrian Gonzalez, Has hit in this park before and he likie to as he has a .330 average with 14 HR's and 54 RBI's in 191 career AB's in this park. Matt Kemp also likes it here as he has a .322 BA, with 11 HR's and 40 RBI's in 210 AB's here. Those two, along with the rest of the LA lineup, should do some damage in this one. Overall the dodgers do score just 4.3 rpg on the road, but their offense is getting better and they should really put up more runs than that vs a Colorado team that allows 6.6 rpg at home. The Rockies will send out Jeff Francis tonight and he has struggled in his own park this year, posting a 6.99 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP at Coors this year. His home games have averaged a healthy 12.9 rpg as well. Also in his last 2 starts vs LA here (both in 2010) he allowed 9 ER's in just 8.1 innings of work). The Rockies have a potent offense at home, where they average 5.74 rpg, but even more potent with Francis on the Mound as they average 6.3 rpg in his home starts this year. Josh Beckett comes in with a 5.23 ERA on the year and a 5.20 ERA on the road this year. He has struggled even more of late, posting a 7.11 ERA and we also note that August is his worst ERA month as he has posted a career ERA of 4.79 during this month. Both offenses should put up big numbers vs these two starters and I would not be surprised to see 15+ runs scored tonight.

Texas/ Tampa Bay Over 8.5: Google News Play I know that Price is on the mound but still when are you gonna get a Texas home game with an O/U line this low? David Price has been awesome of late, posting an 0.60 ERA in his last 4 starts, but if their is one team right now that can hit him it has to be the Rangers. The Texas offense is hot, averaging 7.3 rpg in their last 8 games, while in their last 5 (all at home) they have averaged 8.8 rpg, with those 5 games averaging 12.4 rpg. Texas overall averages 5.7 rpg at home, including 5.6 rpg when Holland pitches at home. Speaking of Holland, he has struggled in his own park with a 5.43 ERA here and 10.9 rpg being scored in his home starts. Derek has also not fared well ve the Rays, posting a 6.50 ERA in his 6 career regular season starts vs them, with those starts averaging 12.2 rpg. THe Rays have troubles scoring at home, but on the road they average 4.7 rpg and 5.2 rpg when Price takes the hill away from home. The Tampa offense has been hot of late scoring 5.8 rpg in their last 10 games. I look for both teams to hit at least 4 runs in this one with ease.

** Play Was Upgraded** Chicago/ Baltimore Under 8.5 Google News Play As bad as Francisco Liriano has been this year overall, he really hasn't pitched all that badly of late, allowing 2 ER's or less in 4 of his last 5 starts and 3 ER's or less in 7 of his last 9 starts. Really just 2 bad starts over that stretch. Liriano has a 5.53 ERA on the road this year, but just a 2.91 ERA in his last 2 away from home. His road starts have averaged just 7 rpg on the year, including just 8 rpg in his two road starts with Chicago. Chen has had 2 rough outings in his last 3, but those starts were around 3 other starts in which he allowed just 1 ER total. Chen has allowed 3 ER's or less in 6 of his last 8 starts and he has a solid 3.6o ERA at home. He has faced the Sox once this year and allowed just 2 ER's in 5.1 innings of work, in a game that saw just 5 runs scored. I look for around 6 runs tops in this one. NOTE: NO NEW INFO CAME ON THIS GAME FOR ME. I ORIGINALLY WANTED IT AS A TOP PLAY AND POSTED IT IN THE WRONG SPOT.

St Louis -115 over PITTSBURGH: A little payback here for the cards after losing 2 of 3 at home to Pittsburgh last week. Since that series the Cards have won 5 of their last 6 games, including 2 of 3 at Cincinnati over the weekend. The Cards offense has been hot as they have averaged 7 rpg in their last 6 games and put up 8 runs twice in the Cincy series. Now they get to face a struggling AJ Burnett, who is finally pitching like the AJ we remember. AJ comes in with a 6.75 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP in his last 3 starts and 2 of those starts were vs the offensively challenged San Diego Padres. Aj faced the Cards once this year and allowed 12 ER's on 12 hits in just 2.2 innings of work. AJ does have a 2.81 ERA at home, but he has allowed 10 ER's in his last 12.3 innings of work at PNC Park.Kyle Lohse has had no such troubles of late as he has allowed 2 ER's or less in 9 of his last 10 starts, while posting an ERA of 2.67 over that stretch. The Cards are just 2-2 in his last 4 starts, but he has a skinny 1.01 ERA and an 0.86 WHIP in the 4 games. Kyle is also 3-0 with a solid 3.00 ERA in his last 5 starts vs the Pirates. At home the Pitt offense struggles as they average just 3.8 rpg and hit just .233 and will have problems scoring off of Kyle in this one. Pittsburgh may be setting up for a slide and while taking 5 of the last 7 played at St Louis, I look for the Cards to get some revenge behind the better starter and better offense.
