Thursday is a travel day for Major League Baseball, but there’s still one game we’ve got our eye on.  The books tend to tighten up on days like Thursday.  Since there is less to bet on, they have to make sure their lines are extra tight.  Well, I’ve found one game that I think the odds maker’s missed for Thursday night.

Colorado Rockies @ Chicago Cubs
The first-place Cubs host the struggling Colorado Rockies on Thursday night.  As bad as Colorado has been so far this season, there’s no reason to give up on them just yet.  They do have good offensive players, they are just either hurt or slump.  They also do have good starting pitching, at least they have players that have put together good starts and even good seasons, they just don’t have any confidence right now after getting knocked around in the first two months of the season.  Jeff Francis is the supposed ace of the Colorado staff, and though his numbers are very un-ace-like, I’ll take my chances on the struggling young hurler against a Cubs team that is bound to level out through these middle months of the long season.
Pick:  Colorado Rockies +130
