We already hit our 2* run line play with the Braves and are looking for more!
2* Play
Colorado +130
We understand why this line is sitting at 8 with the Rockies playing on the road and the wind blowing in slightly at Wrigley but come on Vegas. We have the top offensive team in the league going up against an overrated pitcher in Wada. Wada has looked mediocre at best this year and that was against the Red and Padres where he gave up 5 earned runs. We know the Rockies are a lot worse on the round but it is hard to believe that they will not get at last 4 or 5 runs agains Wada. The Rockies are 3-6 since the all star break but are hitting close to .300. On the other hand we have Flande who has been torched this year with an ERA north of 7. Unlike Wada, Flande has pitched against some really good offensive teams including the Nationals twice and the Dodgers. The Cubs are only batting .237 since the break and are 2-7 at home. Flande has a three pitch arsenal including 61% fastball, 19% slider, and 20% curveball. The Cubs are average against the fastball and curveball but are dead last against the slider. If Flande can utilize his slider effectively he should have some success against the Cubs as Flande is very underrated. Wada is all about three pitches as well the problem is that the Rockies are top 6 against fastballs, and best in the league against sliders and change ups which Wada turns to over 20% of the time. Once again we realize that the Rockies are not even close to the same team at home but we will take the big dog on the road.
Oakland -1.5 -125 **Oberholtzer is overrated with an ERA of 1.08 at home, 5.00 against the Althetics and is going up against one of the best hitting teams in baseball. While Chavez is going up against the slumping Astros teams without Springer.**
Milwaukee +110 **Lohse has been excellent since the break owning a 2-0 record with an ERA of 1.32. He has had great success on the road with a 7-2 record. The Brewers are better hitting on the road and should be able to find some success against Odorizzi who is slightly overrated.**
