2007-10-11 - Colorado Rockies at Arizona D-backs
A Sports Betting Pick by Jim Feist
Thursday, October 11, 2007 - Starts at 8:30 ET
Probable Pitchers: J. Francis , B. Webb
--------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Game 1: Low scoring Game 1s are common as both teams go with their aces.
That happened the last series with the Red Sox/Angels Game 1 going under, and the Cubs/Diamondbacks going under in a 3-1 game.
That was started by ace Brandon Webb (18-10, 3.01 ERA), who goes here.
Colorado starter Jeff Francis (17-9) is also off a game under the total, shutting down a strong Phillies offense 4-2. He fanned 8 in 6 innings.
This is not a strong Arizona offense, either, and Francis has a 2.84 ERA in 19 innings against the D-Backs.
Look for a defensive battle in Game 1 and play the Rockies/D-Backs under the total!
The Pick :
Take Under the run total
