6 Unit play Take #966 San Francisco -137 over Colorado (10:15pm est):
The Colorado Rockies are much different team on the road then they are at home as they have the biggest home/road differential in batting average in baseball. Take this team away from Coors field and it's like they almost forget how to hit as they are hitting under .230 on the road this year. Now add in going up against a left-hander and things get even worse. The big thing for them now is injuries as they just lost 2 of their top 6 hitters over the weekend to injuries and come into this series with a much different looking lineup then usual. Already a bad hitting team on the road they looked like a mere image of themselves last night as they were shutout for 8 innings only breaking through in the 9th to pull out the big come from behind 2-1 win.
Now the Rockies will throw a rookie to the hill tonight against a Giants team who is furious for letting such a huge game slip last evening. The Rockies have been just awful road dogs all year going 17-36 in this role the past 53 games. When their starter Esmil Rogers pitches, the Rocks have went 1-4 as a dog with him and are 1-4 on the road. Rogers comes in off a bad outing last and has an ERA of 5.66 on the season. You get the feeling that the stage may be too big for Rogers in this one and during this time of the year.
The Giants will come in focused as they usually take care of bad road teams, going 12-5 against them their past 17 games against teams with a road win pct below .400. Madison Bumgarner gets the call here for the Giants and he has been consistenly very good. For only being 20 years old, this kid has loads of talent and has been very consistent along the way, having only allowed more then 3 runs in a game just 3 of his 12 starts this year.
The Giants were crushed last night in their big late inning loss. They knew it was a chance to put another nail in the Rockies coffin and get one step closer to San Diego. They will be extra focused tonight with the task at hand and going up against a depleted Rockies lineup, a rookie pitcher while playing at home should make the this a game the Giants win easy.
Take San Francisco here. My football season is off and rolling at almost 80% winners thus far. The first big week of the year is this week and I have spent a lot of time with my in-town Las Vegas contacts going over each and every game on the card. I will be locked and loaded for a big week 1 splash. It's all about information, especially this time of the year with teams not having any games under their belts yet. Get on board with all sorts of week 1 specials we have going this week at Doc's Sports and get your football season off on the right foot.

In his first year after taking over for Purdue's winningest coach Joe Tiller, Danny Hope pulled off the shocker of all shockers. His team beat Rose Bowl-bound Ohio State 26-18 in West Lafayette, Ind.
The amazing parts in the upset hit all levels. Ohio State was a two-touchdown favorite and had just beaten Wisconsin. The Boilermakers had lost five in a row, albeit all close games.
Hope got his guys prepared for Ohio State. It set off a closing stretch that included four wins in the final six games.
This squad lost about 5 or 6 games by less than 6 points last season and with a full year under the Coach I look for this team to put it together a bit!
You have ND and national TV with the arrival of Coach Kelly coming into this one. Purdue lost 24-21 last season and will be that much better this season. Irish have key losses in talent and Kelly will be under the spotlight which is all we need as the public will ride the Irish and I will cash a play that is posted in August to start the season
Look at these results and if you throw out the Wisky stinker they hung around and against some good teams!!!
