MLB Premium Play 05/24: Colorado Rockies @ San Francisco Giants

MLB - 963 Colorado Rockies @ 964 San Francisco Giants

(Starting Pitchers: T. Chatwood vs T. Lincecum)

This is a rematch from six days ago, with these two teams faced each other in Colorado, while starting these two pitchers as well. Tim Lincecum got absolutely crushed in that outing by allowing six runs and seven hits in five innings, while having a 4/2 K/BB ratio. Lincecum has been pitching better at home than on the road this season mostly due to a much better HR/9 mark: 0.68 vs 1.33 on the road! However, winds will be blowing out to center field at 10-15 mph tonight, so he should get into trouble even though this game will be played at San Francisco. This will be Lincecum's third start of the season against the Rockies and he allowed six runs each on the first two games!

On the other hand, the Rockies will start Tyler Chatwood and even though that he won the decision six days ago, he was quite lucky with just one run allowed in 5.2 innings, as he allowed seven hits and had a 4/4 K/BB ratio! With him having his second start of the season against the Giants tonight, who happens to be #7 in the league in hitting against RH pitchers this season with a .764 OPS, I believe he will struggle much more than he did at Colorado last week. Therefore, I see this game being a relatively high scoring game and so, I'll be taking the Over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 963/964 Over 8 (w/ T. Chatwood & T. Lincecum) @ +100 / 2.00 on Betonline
