: Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers

Colorado vs. Milwaukee
Lets start with the similarities. First, Both play in parks owned by prestigious American breweries. Also, both are somewhat in the Midwest region of the U.S- Colorado more so in the Mountain West like the NCAA conference states (what up Chris). Both play in hitters parks, Colorado obviously being more famous for this feat with their intense altitude level, playing on "higher ground". Today's matchup is the 2nd game in this series, Colorado taking the 1st in an ace vs. ace battle (Jimenez vs. Gallardo). Today the Brewers send out newly acquired veteran starter Randy Wolf, a model of consistency throughout his career. The Rockies current roster is batting .216 against him, and although historically he hasn't had much success pitching in Miller Park, keep in mind he was the opposing pitcher everytime he had an outing there. Its now his home ball park, and he had better get used to it, being Milwaukee's no. 2 starter in the rotation. Although early in the season, it will be somewhat important that he makes a good impression tonight, and pitching against a team that has struggled to hit him in the past is a bonus. Also being @ home, and the fact that the Brewers lost yesterday gives me enough of a reason to expect a (W) from Milwaukee tonight. The Rockies send out starting pitcher Greg Smith, in place of often injured Canadian starter Jeff Francis who is spending the start of the season on the DL (again). Greg Smith doesn't give off much of a sampling vs. the Brewers lineup-only Carlos Gomez is 2/3 vs. G. Smith with a HR...and Gomez doesn't really hit home runs.
Milwaukee Brewers (-1) @ -125.
