Thousand unit Power Plays

With the start of a new baseball season I've decided to change the way I rank my picks. My ratings will rank from 100 - 1000 units, incrementing by the hundred. Say I'm up 2200 units and you bet a dollar a unit, you would be up $2200. I'm thinking this will be an easier way for the both of us to keep track of how good/bad my profitably is.

Today I'm releasing two thousand unit plays.

$$$$$ 1000 $$$$$ Phillies -140 @ Colorado

Reigning CY young winner Cole Hamels is taking the mound for the Phillies, but more importantly, Jason Marquis gets the nod for the Rockies. Marquis posted a hittable 4.53 ERA last year with the Cubs which is right around his career average. He's a right handed pitcher who will try to make a living serving up meatballs in the smallest ballpark in the Majors, and he'll get the chance to do that today against a predominantly left hitting Phillies Club. You could give the 1 1/2 and get em at +130, but I'm going to play it safe here considering Colorado pummeled Brandon Webb last week.

$$$$$ 1000 $$$$$

Braves - 1 1/2 vs. Nationals

Derek Lowe had a great outing last week against the Phillies and should have no problem today with a poor Nationals club. Washington is off to an 0-3 start and the Braves jumped out of the gate quickly taking 2 of 3 in Philly last week. Lay the 1 1/2 as the Braves get it done with ease.
