MLB Report - Friday
UNDER 8½ +100 (Rockies-Francis/Brewers-Capuano) – 8:05 pm ET #962
Offenses usually struggle after the extended All-Star break and this should be a low scoring game as my pitcher performance ratings predict an above average performance for both pitchers tonight.
Colorado’s Jeff Francis is due for a bounce back after a poor showing last week when he allowed six runs and twelve hits versus Philadelphia. Keep in mind that start came at home in hitter friendly Coor’s Field and Francis has pitched better on the road this season with a 3.12 ERA and 1.288 WHIP (walks + hits per innings pitched). Francis is also 5-2-1 Under in his eight road starts.
Milwaukee’s Chris Capuano is also due for a bounce-back performance after two poor starts this month, both of which came on the road. Capuano has been much stronger at home this season with a solid 3.66 ERA and 1.222 WHIP, compared to a weak 6.40 ERA and 1.856 WHIP on the road.
