MLB: San Diego (Luebke) -141 Over Colorado (Cook)
Betting first time starters “In the Blind” has been a tried and true “system”for “older” cappers for almost three decades. It’s startling successful and you can follow up by fading these pitchers in their second start if they were to win.
We have a perfect spot tonight with the struggling Padres at home versus the resurgent Colorado Rockies.
Tonight’s Friar starter, Cory Luebke is 10-1 with a 2.68 ERA in 17 starts split between AA and AAA. He’s a southpaw and the Padres has have won the last meetings of the series throwing lefties versus Colorado.
The Rockies Aaron Cook is 0-3 in his L3 starts with a disturbing 13.98 whip and horrific 3.003 whip. In those three starts he’s lasted just nine innings allowing 29 baserunners (23 hits) and 15 earned runs. This is the epitome of chuck and duck.
Sure the Padres have lost seven straight but those were to a pissed off Philly team that had just been swept in their own house by Houston and a loose an easy DBack bunch simply playing out the string.
The Rockies are a different animal on the road and come off three games in San Francisco where they scored a combined five runs. If Luebke is anything at all, and we think he his, it will be a couple of times through the lineup to nail this guy down.
Betting first-time starters in the blind has been highly profitable for me over the last 20+ years. Don’t miss these sports in September as you’ll have plenty of opportunities thanks to the 40 man call up.
