"i pictured more of a pick'em type situation.."


no way. Peavy is the arguably the best pitcher in the league andthe Rockies' Josh Fogg has been good in Sept but isn't exactly a Cy Young candidate.

Most games where Peavy is the pitcher tend to have the Padres around -200 or so. Yeah, he's pretty good.

Rockies with all their momentum plus home-field and Padres with their relative lack of bats lately make up quite a bit of this difference.
But for a game to be pick'em with Peavy pitching you pretty much need him to be matched-up against another team's ace imo.

As for which way the line is going to move...I always suck at that and it should be noted that I suck at betting in general. I'm just discussing here but am hardly an expert.

But I think you might have missed the boat on getting the Rocks at the better price because I believe you could have gotten them for +130 or slightly better when it first came out. Not positive on that though.
