For what it's worth, I like the Puds tonight +$$$
All that glitters is not gold, these things are not always automatic, however, I can not ignore these facts, the sample size is more than ample, and the Rockies have probably the most lethal lineup in the NL and that includes the Dodgers.
.905 OBA+SLG is a rarity if you look very carefully at the walk column.
Very rare, one walk in 88 official at bats and 33 hits.
10:1 K/BB ratio. Holy shit, you don't see this very often, a .375 BA against with a 10:1 K/BB ratio
Is it a lock? Nothing is. Int this case, Rox could spank the ball all game again off of McCarthy, but instead of line drive singles, the rockets become line drive outs to third base.

Brandon McCarthy is what he is, an ordinary, barely mediocre number four starter.
Rockies demonstate right here what they do to pedestrian like, mediocre righties.
Not for nothing, Rox start De La Rosa who has been known to get lit up a few times himself, and quite frankly as long as the Rockies score five, De La Rosa could give up 25 and I really wouldn't give a two puppy farts.
Will the Rox score 5 or more, probably.
I hit with the SF Giants yesterday, 2* +154
YTD 5-2 + 8.38 *
2* over Rockies 4.5 - I can't ignore the statistics.
Time to update you knowledge of the Giants, they have bats this year and WILL score RUNS especially on the road in hitter friendly parks; see Arizona and Chavez Ravine to start the year. I am a Giants fan and live in Nor Cal so watch them everyday. If they stay healthy their bats will bang this year, problem is their starting pitching is not nearly as good as either of their 2 World Championship years unless something changes dramatically but as much as I'm hoping for it, realistically can't see it happening.
Let me throw in that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT THE DODGERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AS GOOD AS EVERYONE THOUGHT OR THEIR PAYROLL SHOULD REPRESENT. Kershaw could be out till June, HAHAHA!!!! Puig is a complete head case, great talent, but feking head case. Hopefully he continues to blow up any and all chemistry in that club house. FUECK THE DODGERS!!
Sorry to hijack Nash, I know we've disagreed on one or two things in the past but I respect your opinion and your doing good work here, keep it up!!
First of all, I'll be 12k richer if anyone not named the Dodgers wins the NL West so I hope you're right.
Secondly, I'm not sure what the point of your post is as it has zero to do with mine. I said the Dodgers were capable of winning a game vs the Giants by multiple runs, something that they WILL do this season multiple times. Your post is acting as if I stated things I didn't or that I think things I don't. Your post also is as if a team that's not as good as the other team can't win. Something that's also not true. You're also acting as if you know everything, which you don't.

Last time I respond in respect of Nash's thread.
This single line you took from my post wasn't even directed toward you, my hatred of the Dodgers got the best of me. The first couple of lines of my post directed toward the 6-2 or 7-2 run total (ie Giants scoring only 2 in Chavez) is where I was questioning your knowledge of Giants bats. Anyway was more throwing out for discussion not flaming you but you seem to get your pantys in a bunch about everything as evidenced with earlier exchanges with Nash.
I'm out of your thread Nash, sorry to impose.
