Las Vegas makes the Friars a $1.20 favorite tonight, and you need
only look at the starting pitchers to know the reasons for that.
-----------> Rockie's starter Ubaldo Jimenez <-------------------
* ERA of 4.91 in his first two starts this year (against
St. Louis and the Atlanta Braves).
* His WHIP is a very high 2.0, with 13 hits and NINE
walks in just 11 innings worked. He also has 7 Ks.
-----------> Padre's starter Randy Wolf <-------------------
* ERA of 2.25 in his initial starts against Houston and
the San Francisco Giants.
* His WHIP is just 1.0, exacrly HALF Jimenez's
number. Wolf has allowed only 3 walks and 9 hits
in 12 innings of work. He has 9 strikeouts.
A tip of the Hatlo Hat to Darren Balsley for this fine
start to Randy Wolf's new 2008 season.
