2* Colorado Rockies Money Line +140 for 1st 5 Innings
The favorite in today’s game 2 of the Rockies vrs Phillies is Philadelphia . The reason is only because of Cole Hamels and what he did last year in the Playoffs. This is an opportunity for us to jump on some early money. Pitchers are not always consistent year after year. Look at last year's Cole Hamels. He went into the playoffs with an ERA of 3.09 ERA. He had 2 bad games that drove his ERA to over 3.00. Most months he averaged 2.70, 2.61, 2.88, 2.61 and 2.84. Only one month did he average 4.89. So he went into the playoffs last year on fire.
This year his monthly averages have been not quite as good, 7.27, 4.06, 3.31, 4.38, 4.91 and 3.32. While every pitcher has the ability to go out there and pitch lights out, I have to put my money on the Pitcher that has had a slightly better year and is on a much hotter pitching streak. Look at Cook this year. April not so good aver ERA 7.11, May 2.93, June 2.36, July 4.17, only 10 innings pitching in Aug 12.19. His return from shoulder soreness on Sept 25 was great going 5 scoreless innings and the only other start was on Oct 1st going 8 innings with 1 ER. He has shown us he is back to form and ready for the playoffs. If the Phillies win today, it likely won't be at the fault of Aaron Cook.
Take the Rockies as a Road Dog in the 1st 5 innings, not the full game.
This is a 2** Star Cannonball Play

everyone has now jumped on the Philly bandwagon due to the fine pitching of Lee yesterday. Today they send Hamels to the hill and everyone expects the Hamels of last year to be pitching. Hamels is a different pitcher this year. I can argue he was their #5 starter this year even behind Happ and Pedro. Hamels was asked in Mid august what was the root of his struggles and he replied " it is just intensity, you watch I will turn it on again in sept when the games really mean something" OK well in his last 3 starts he has pitched 16.2 IP and allowed 13 ER. He got lit up like a Xmas tree in his only start vs the rox this year. Hamels also had an 0-6 5.44 daytime record this year. I also have 2 other plays if you are looking for some more action.

Phillies just plain and simple own Colorado and Cook.
Rockies are:
2-10 in the last 12 games vs Phillies.
1-5 in Cooks last 6 starts vs. Phillies.
1-6 in the last 7 meetings in Philadelphia.
In 140 at bats, the Phillies hit .336 against Cook.

Chase Utley 8-21 .381 (1 HR/11 RBI)
Ryan Howard 6-17 .353 (1 HR/3 RBI)
Jason Werth 4-10 .400 (0 HR/3 RBI)
Shane Victorino 1-12 .083 (0 HR/2 RBI)
