Week 9

Last week, after I got the double header correct, the Rockies only win was the only game I predicted them to lose. So I’m going for a bit of reverse psychology this time.

Monday: Rockies 5, Dodgers 2; WP Hammel
Tuesday: Dodgers 4, Rockies 1; WP Lilly
Wednesday: Dodgers 7, Rockies 5; WP Garland
Friday: Rockies 4, Giants 2; WP Nicasio
Saturday: Giants 3, Rockies 2; WP Bumgarner
Sunday: Giants 5, Rockies 3; WP Vogelsong

CP: Rockies give up back-to-back homers at some point this week.

Embarrassingly inaccurate predictions

Mon: Rockies 6, Dodgers 4 WP Hammel
Tues: Dodgers 4, Rockies 3 WP Lilly
Wed: Rockies 9, Dodgers 6 WP Ubaldo
Fri: Giants 5, Rockies 3 WP Cain
Sat: Rockies 5, Giants 3 WP Chacin
Sun: Rockies 7, Giants 4 WP Hammel

CP: Tulo and Cargo each hit a HR in the same game.
