BEST LINE: Pinnacle +150

Posted at 11:20 AM EST

4:05 PM EST. The Giants are cooling off a bit with four losses in their past five games including the opener of this series last night, 7-4. San Fran is always tough to beat at home, especially in day games but wagering against Ryan Vogelsong cannot be ignored when he’s priced this high. Vogelsong is having a decent year with a 4-3 record to go along with a respectable 3.84 ERA but his skills still say he’s a risky proposition. Vogelsong has a weak 38%/23%/39% groundball/line-drive/fly-ball profile. His K rate is up but so are his walks, which has led to a below average 1.32 WHIP. Vogelsong significantly outpitched his skills during 2011-12 resurgence but it caught up to him and he was exposed last year. This year’s he’s outpitching his skills again and he’ll be facing a hot-hitting Rockies team that has won three in a row and has scored 35 runs over their last four games. Wagering on Vogelsong is a dart throw.

In his first major-league start five days ago, Christian Bergman didn’t set the world on fire but what he did do was hold the Braves to six hits and three earned runs in six innings. That was at Coors Field and the kid showed he deserves another shot. Bergman is hoping to translate some of his minor league success to the major leagues. He set a Triple-A Colorado Springs franchise record with 24 consecutive scoreless innings and an improbable 0.30 ERA in the month of May. We profiled Bergman in our MLB call-ups section so you can read more about him there. At this price against Vogeslong, Bergman and the Rockies most certainly offer up some nice value.
