Monday's Comp Selection

Back to Back Comp Winners. Take Under 9 between the Colorado Rockies @ LA Angels (Monday @ 10pm est). The Rockies are as hot as you can get right now as they have improved their record to 36-33. Part of the reason why is their pitching has been stellar as their rotation just contniues to exceed expectations. Cook is 3-0 over his past three starts during this hot streak as he has given up just 5 runs over his past 21 innings of work (Tampa Bay, @ Milwaukee, @ St. Louis). The Kentucky native has dropped his era to 4.23 and I expect him to continue to pitch well today. Matt Palmer has been lights out himself as he has still yet to pick up a loss all year as he is 6-0 with a 4.13 era. The Southwest Missouri State grad has been solid at home of late giving up just 3 runs in 13 innings and although this game features some quality hitters, I like the Under today as both pitchers are pitching well coming into this game. The Udner is 10-2-1 for the Rockies as an Underdog of this margin and the Under is 7-3 for the Halos when they face a winning team at home.

Monday ...
5 DIME ST. LOUIS CARDINALS (WITH Wellemeyer and Redding) - St. Louis put together a solid sweep in its I-70 Series with the Royals, and will head to the Big Apple with enough momentum to nab its series opener with the Mets. Exploding for 29 runs in Kansas City, the Cardinals should have no trouble keeping the offense alive against New York’s Tim Redding.



He’s not only seen his innings production reduce down to five innings, but his earned runs allowed has increased each start in June as well. Last Wednesday he allowed four earned runs in five innings at Baltimore. He’s also 0-1 at home with an inflated 8.18 ERA.



And once we get our lead, we can bank on Todd Wellemeyer to hold it for us. He’s 3-1 on the road this season, much better than his 3-5 home mark. And he comes in off a solid effort against the Tigers, having given up just two earned runs in five innings of work. Though I’d normally be worried his durability has diminished this month, after lasting seven innings against Colorado on the 6th, six frames in Florida on the 11th and then the five against Detroit last Wednesday, I’m sure the same concern is greater for the Mets.



St. Louis has now won five of their last six and is on winning runs of 6-2 on the road, 7-1 against right-handed starters, 11-5 against teams out of the National League East and 11-4 when facing winning teams.



Take St. Louis tonight.

300? COLORADO ROCKIES (LIST Cook and Palmer) - I misjudged Colorado a couple of weeks back, and its ability to produce in the midst of a road trip. Yet it strolled through St. Louis and Milwaukee by putting a ton of runs on the board and looked like the team that closed the 2007 campaign and waltzed into the World Series to take on the Red Sox that fall.

Now, after sweeping Pittsburgh at home and keeping their confidence and momentum intact by winning 16 of their last 17, I think they’re realizing the key to this win streak hasn’t necessarily been their knack for pounding out hits and scoring runs – it’s been a stifling pitching effort from the starting rotation to the bullpen. The fact is, a balance of power from the plate to the mound has spurned the Rockies, whose staff ERA is just under 2.70 during their win streak.

Now it could be argued Aaron Cook and Matt Palmer are in store for a pitchers’ duel in this one, but I like Cook’s credentials in June much better than Palmer’s.

The Colorado right-hander has been nearly untouchable in June, posting a 3-0 mark after road wins at contending St. Louis and NL Central-leading Milwaukee and a home victory over the defending American League champion Rays. In those games, he’s given up just five earned runs over 21 innings of work.

On the flipside, while Palmer might be a perfect 6-0 on the year – including 4-0 with a 3.24 ERA at the Big A – this is a step up in class in terms of the competition he’s faced his last three starts. While Cook has taken on some quality lineups, Palmer has faced the Mariners, Padres and Giants, and he’s given up six earned runs over 19 innings of work, while going 1-0 with two no-decisions.

Its due time for Palmer, to lose a game that is, so I’ll take the road pup.

4* Rockies at Angels

I'm not standing in front of this Colorado express train, reminiscent of September, 2007. The Rockies have completely turned things around since firing their manager and going with Jim Tracy. Since Tracy moved from bench coach to manager, the Rockies have gone 17-5, moving from the National League West basement to two games over .500. While the Los Angeles Dodgers still look nearly unreachable in the NL West, the Rockies now are a legitimate wild-card contender. The Rockies came back from the dead again, winning for the 15th time in 16 games on Todd Helton's walkoff, two-run blast that gave the Rockies a 9-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Starter Aaron Cook keeps the ball down and is 6-3 on the year, plus 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA his last three starts. LA starter Matt Palmer may be 6-0, but he does not have dominating stuff, with an ERA over 4. A great spot for the red-hot visitors. Play the Rockies.
