Why is Jeff Francis getting -130?

[ThingsFallApart]

I know the Nats are skidding but Detwiler vs. Francis at -130? Come on now, obviously something is up besides the Nats road record and play of late.

Nats................

I agree, I have some on Nats +135 (late move at 5 Dimes)

Francis is just brutal

Francis is playing for a spot in the rotation.

Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez both got injured (CarGo in first, Fowler in third) and had to be removed

Doesnt matter, Rockies lineup is still leagues better. The 5th best hitter on the Rockies would bat 3rd or 4th on the Nats right now.

[yisman]

Well, Fowler/CarGo/Tulo are the three best Colorado hitters.

Francis averages 3 Ks a start (pretty consistently each season). He has 8 today.

ian desmond batting .400 during his 15 game hitting streak

he's 3/3

he singled, stole second, and then the rockies reliever balked twice. Tie game.

tulo injured on the diving stop of desmond's 4th hit

roger bernadina hurt his shoulder diving into second for a double (Tulo was blocking the bag)



Rockies now without their three best hitters.
