We will play against Derek Lowe, who has inferior numbers compared to his mound opponent, Jeff Francis.
Take the Colorado Rockies Francis' ERA is 3.55 and his WHIP is 1.17, and over his last 3 starts, his
numbers improve to 1.50 ERA and 0.70 WHIP.
Lowe has won just 8 of 23 starts vs. division rivals, and LA has a losing
record vs. lefties this year.
Take the Rockies.
