8/12 Pick of the Day

The Rockies got the win last night, and they typically only win 1 or 2 games a week. Arizona should bounce right back on Wednesday to claim the series. Merrill Kelly has a lot of success against Colorado, including a complete game against them in Denver earlier this season. Neither Ryan Feltner nor the Colorado bullpen worries me much. The Cubs beat the Nats last night to continue their second half surge. David Peterson takes the mound again for the Cubs, and while he has been inconsistent throughout his career, the ceiling is high, and he has been strong lately. The Nats will call up a lefty prospect to start. Typically, teams do not ask a lot of innings in these spots, and the longer the bullpen is out there, the worse it gets for Washington. Advantage Cubs.
