what is not to like about the rockies tonight?....they are playing great ball down the stretch as they have for the past few seasons......de la rosa takes the mound....arizona struggles against left handed pitching.....while saunders takes the mound for arizona...he has been dreadful since being acquired from the angels.....lay the -150 and take the money with the rockies.
Im not playing this game...but something tells me the DBacks win. The Rockies arent the same team on the road, and -150 seems like a high price to pay with De La Rosa on the road.
"De La Rosa (8-4, 4.25 ERA), who has won three consecutive starts, takes the mound as Colorado tries to win for the 14th time in 17 games. The left-hander is 5-2 with a 2.19 ERA in eight career starts against the Diamondbacks, winning four straight outings. He struck out a season-high 10 in a 13-4 win Sept. 10, giving up two runs and five hits in six innings. De La Rosa won Wednesday despite giving up five runs in a 9-6 victory over San Diego. "He stepped up and gave us exactly what we needed," manager Jim Tracy said.
Despite his success against the Diamondbacks, De La Rosa has never won at Arizona, going 0-2 with a 3.63 ERA in three starts at Chase Field."
