MLB Baseball Betting - Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Bookmark and Share by D.S Williamson

The Colorado Rockies once again have to face the Arizona Diamondbacks. The difference in this online wager to take down the Colorado Rockies. The D’Backs have beaten the Rockies seven out of eight times this season.

The Rockies counter with their ace, Aaron Cook. Cook has been very, very good this season. He has a record of 6 and 1 with an ERA of 2.76. Cook has only given up three home-runs in 55.2 innings pitched.

Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game.

Colorado Rockies

Aaron Cook – R + 1 ½ - 135 + 160 O 8 - 105

Arizona Diamondbacks

Brandon Webb- R - 1 ½ + 115 - 190 U 8 - 115

Here are some baseball betting trends that might help us find a suitable online wager in this game.

The Colorado Rockies are 7 and 0 in Aaron Cook’s last seven starts.

The Colorado Rockies are 7 and 0 in Aaron cook’s last seven starts on grass.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are 5 and 0 in Brandon Webb’s last 5 starts as the favorite.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are 2 and 5 with umpire Tim Tschida behind home plate.

This is the first time I’m bringing in an umpire trend for the simple fact that even though Brandon Webb has been brilliant and they’ve dominated the Rockies so far this season, I see the umpire trend against the D’Backs as significant enough for me to pause and say that maybe Webb isn’t such a good online wager at – 1 ½ runs at + 115.

Webb will lose a game, or two, this season. Not even the brilliant Pedro Martinez could win 9 straight games to start the 1997 season.

Can Webb do it? Sure he could, but the odds tell me that a pitcher of Aaron Cook’s caliber is certainly worth more then getting a measly 15 extra bucks on the run line if I like Webb.

In fact the truly great wager that BetUS is offering on this game is getting the Colorado Rockies, with Cook starting the game, at + 160.

As good as Webb has been, Cook has actually been more impressive because his team hasn’t been able to step it up for him the way that Webb’s has. Cook has only one no decision on his record and one loss.

I think that’s enough for me to make an online sportsbook bet on the BetUS money-line that has the Colorado Rockies at + 160 to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks straight-up.
