2010 MLB Playoff Race Colorado Rockies vs San Diego Padres
2010 MLB Betting Rockies vs PadresThe Padres have the pitching matchup advantage this MLB betting weekend to distance themselves from the never-say-die Rockies. San Diego has lost seven straight games, but still leads the West by three games over San Francisco and 7.5 games over Colorado.
On Friday, the Padres send Cory Luebke to the mound for his major-league debut. Despite his lack of major-league experience, oddsmakers set the line at -149 for the 6-foot-4 southpaw. Luebke finished his stint at Triple-A Portland with a 14-inning scoreless streak and posted a 2.97 ERA, 44 K and 17 BB in nine starts with Portland. The line is also indicative of Luebke's opponent Aaron Cook (4-8, 5.34 ERA) and his 13.98 ERA and 3.00 WHIP in his last three starts.
FoxSheets, found at
Sportsbook.com, shows two reasons to take San Diego on Friday.

Play Against - Road underdogs with a money line of +100 to +150 (COLORADO) - with a bad bullpen that blows 38% or more of their save opportunities, with a cold starting pitcher- WHIP >= 2.250 over his last 3 starts. (37-8 over the last 5 seasons.) (82.2%, +26.9 units. Rating = 4*).
