The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies meet on Wednesday night in the second of a three-game sports betting series. The Rockies beat the Giants in the first game as their ace, Aaron Cook, had a pretty good outing against the G-Men who could only muster 5 runs on Tuesday night. Yes, 5 runs are good but the Giants needed at least 10 to force extra innings. San Francisco could bounce back in a big way on Wednesday night as they send terrific pitcher Tim Lincecum to the mound. Lincecum has been an online baseball betting dream this season going 8 and 1 with a 2.15 ERA. He’s only given up three home-runs in 83.2 innings. That’s Cy Young type numbers!

The Rockies counter the brilliant Lincecum with pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. Poor Ubaldo just keeps getting thrown to the wolves. I don’t know how much more he can stand. His ERA is a less than stellar 5.43. More importantly, his record on the season is 1 and 6. Luckily, Ubaldo doesn’t face the best hitting line-up in the National League tonight, but it might not matter.

Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game:

San Francisco Giants

Tim Lincecum – R - 1 ½ + 140 - 115 O 9 Ev

Colorado Rockies

Ubaldo Jimenez – R + 1 ½ - 160 - 105 U 9 - 120

The San Francisco Giants are 7 and 1 in their last 8 games on the road.

The San Francisco Giants are 5 and 1 in Tim Lincecum’s last 6 starts on the road.

The Colorado Rockies are 5 and 1 in their last 6 games overall.

The Colorado Rockies are 1 and 10 in Ubaldo Jimenez’s last 11 starts.

The Road team is 4 and 0 in Fieldin Culbreth’s last 4 games behind home plate.

There’s no reason to dissect any wager on the board. The best play in tonight’s game between the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies is obvious.

Tim Lincecum is one of the best pitchers in baseball. He’s terrific. The Rockies have been good lately, but their winning ways should end with the Giants starting Lincecum tonight.

Getting anything above even money on a guy like Lincecum against a team like the Colorado Rockies is a gift - - that includes having to give up the 1 ½ runs. Lincecum is that good. The fact that the BetUS run-line is + 140 makes me giddy.

Throw in the fact that Jimenez should give the Giants some good pitches to hit and all of a sudden this online bet is easy to make.

I’ll be placing an online wager on Tim Lincecum to beat Ubaldo Jimenez and the Colorado Rockies by at least two runs in tonight’s game at the very nice odds of + 140.
