I like the Rockies to beat the Yankees who are 7-16 in their last 23 road games vs. a winning team. The Rockies will have a big advantage in the bullpen tonight and they never hesitate going to it as they have posted a 1.01 ERA over their last 10 games combined and a 2.60 at home this year while the Yankees have a 5.72 bullpen ERA on the road. Hiroki Kuroda has struggled in Colorado in the past and I see the Rockies who are scoring 5.38 runs per 9 vs. RHP at home this year getting to him early and getting to the Yankees bullpen as well. On the flip side the Rockies are 25-4 in Jorge De La Rosaâs last 29 home games as a favorite. De La Rosa is off a rough start but heâs got quality starts in 4 of his 6 starts and only 1 was at home. His two starts he struggled in were against the 3rd and 4th ranked teams in OPS in the Dodgers and the Brewers who rank 3rd and 4th vs. LHP. The Yankees are ranked 24th in OPS vs. LHP and struggle hitting just .209 on the road against them.
4* NBA POD Thunder -135
I think it will be hard for the Grizzlies to duplicate there performance from game #1. First of all the Thunder have found an answer for missing Russell Westbrook and that's Kevin Martin. People forget how good this team was on defense this year and it has held up since losing Westbrook. I definitely think the Thunder will win this game as the Grizzlies played there best game and still came up empty. Look for the Thunder to keep scoring and for the Grizzlies to struggle offensively here tonight.
