In a case of two teams headed in opposite directions, MLB betting matchups could never be better, as the Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays square off in a three game set this weekend. Both teams are full of youth and each pitching matchup this weekend has fans licking their chops when looking at the betting lines.

The first game which goes tonight from Coors Field is a dream match pitching wise, as the Rockies send staff ace and potential CY Young award winner Ubaldo Jimenez to the mound, while the Blue Jays will look to counter with future ace Ricky Romero. To say both pitchers have been dominant this season would be an understatement. Jimenez leads the entire MLB with a 0.93 earned runs average and 11 wins, while Romero has had two complete games and flirted with a no hitter earlier this season. The Blue Jays bats have been silenced over the last five games, only achieving three runs in that time frame. The task of scoring runs will be even more difficult tonight when they face Jimenez for the first time.  However, the team leads the league in home runs and will be looking to use the long ball against Jimenez and the Rockies.

For the games on Saturday and Sunday, the pitching is also strong as the Jays will send flame thrower Brandon Morrow to the mound to face Jason Hammels. On Sunday it will be a battle of two pitchers returning from injury, as Rockies star Canadian pitcher Jeff Francis makes his fifth start since returning from the disabled list with a shoulder injury, and the Jays will counter with Jesse Litsch who has not pitched in the big leagues since May 2009.

Both teams are young and full of talent, and will look provide their fans with reasons to continue cheering them on.
