The over/under in the Brewers-Rockies game (4:37 p.m. ET) has dropped from 9.5 to 9 since opening http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , making it the lowest total at Coors since September of last year.A steam move on the under at the sharp offshore book Buckeye helped cause the total to drop earlier this afternoon.Though sharp action was on the under at 9.5, overs have fared well historically at Coors in games with a total of 9 or lower.This afternoon, the Rockies will be holding on for dear life at mile high in the sky when they host the Brewers in a must-win Game 3. German Marquez will be going for the Rockies, while the southpaw Wade Miley is on the hill for Milwaukee.How Often Does the Team With the Best Record Win the World Series?Read nowRockies fans will be happy to know that Colorado has gone from -145 to -162 since opening behind 75% of moneyline dollars. What’s more interesting, however, is the over/under.After opening at 9.5, a steam move triggered by the sharp offshore sportsbook Buckeye has pushed the total down to 9.This is relatively high for a postseason game if it were to be played at a normal ballpark, but it’s quite low for Coors Field. In fact, it is lowest it’s been at Coors Field all season.The last time a total of 9 was registered at Colorado was September 30th of last season. This is just the 5th time the total has been 9 or lower since 2015.Perhaps the weather is to blame for this sharp action, as temperatures in the mid-50s will be accompanied by a breeze blowing in from right-center. Though it looks crappy on paper, the Weather Rating at FantasyLabs, which factors in elevation, humidity and air pressure as well as traditional weather metrics, is still a gaudy 77 out of 100.Historically, the over has gone 102-79-10 at Coors Field with totals of 9 or lower. It’s important to note that Coors’ spacious outfield is also a large reason why so many runs are scored there, not just the altitude. "He has to pitch like a [Greg] Maddux or a [Zack] Greinke or a Pedro [Martinez] at the end of his career Drew Smyly Jersey ," Stottlemyre Jr. says.Seattle has long taken care to coax the most out of the rare talent Hernandez is."When he came up, we limited him to 190 innings, including spring training," says Mike Hargrove, Seattle's manager in 2005 when Hernandez debuted at 19. "I told fans and the writers that one night Felix is going to have a two-hit shutout into the sixth and you'll think I'm nuts for taking him out, but it's going to have to happen. You try to take care of guys like that."At 23, Hernandez led the AL with 19 wins. He won the Cy Young the next year and then led the AL with a 2.14 ERA again in 2014. But the Mariners annually fumbled away his peak seasons, finishing third or fourth in the AL West every summer.Armchair general managers eventually howled that the Mariners had to kick-start a rebuild by trading their ace for a windfall of prospects. But the club didn't have the stomach to trade away a civic treasure."As for 'serious' trade talks, there really never were any," Jack Zduriencik, Seattle's GM from 2008-15 and now a pre- and postgame analyst on Pirates radio, texted to B/R. "When I received calls, I just said we were not trading Felix. Our goal was to add and build around him. Sure, I got calls, but we never exchanged names. So I can say we never came close to any deal. I just never seriously engaged. End of story."Through it all, the love affair between a city and its ace was unwavering. Hernandez never complained Brandon Morrow Jersey , never wanted to go elsewhere. He signed a seven-year, $175 million extension in February 2013鈥攁t that time the richest contract ever awarded to a pitcher.They celebrated the extension that night鈥擣elix, Sandra, Zduriencik and some of the front office staff鈥攐ver dinner at celebrity chef John Howie's Seastar RestaurantRaw Bar.Now, Seastar's downtown location has closed, and Hernandez's fastball has disappeared along with it."I looked at the scoreboard the other night and saw Seattle was down 8-0 and I thought, 'Who's pitching?'" Hargrove says. "Aw, man. Felix."What Hernandez has done since that lunch in Houston is look forward and appreciate what still is possible, rather than looking backward and dwelling on what was. His smile and infectious personality have returned. And his outings, though nowhere close to vintage, have been reasonable.When he was summoned in the first inning of that Aug. 14 game against Oakland, it was his first relief appearance following 398 consecutive starts, according to Mariners PR. Only Mike Mussina (498) made more before his first relief appearance.Hernandez has grown so comfortable in the routine he developed as a reliever that he maintains it on days he isnt starting.Mark Cunningham/Getty ImagesThough Hernandez returned to the rotation afterward, he's kept the new reliever routine he developed in Houston: He scoots from the dugout to the bullpen in the second inning each day he doesn't start and hangs out with his buddies there."Superstition," he says, chuckling. "My starts have been good lately http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , so I go to the bullpen."Hey, you can't blame a guy for turning over every single rock in his zeal to recapture his old SoDo mojo.It may be working, depending on the context.Since returning to the starting rotation, Hernandez has allowed no more than four earned runs in any start and has struck out 20 batters.The way he figures it, he's healthy now and still has more to do."The last two years, I wasn't healthy," he says. "Now, my body feels good."He added a cutter about a month ago, a new pitch he keeps in his back pocket to break out in case his curve or changeup isn't behaving the way he needs it to on a given day."Let's face it, where he is this day and age with his stuff, he has to pitch to contact," Stottlemyre Jr. says. "He has to rely on getting the ball on the ground. He's not always able to wipe guys out like he used to."With that being said, it's really important that he gets ahead in good counts, and he's in good counts with his fastball."The Mariners have pointed out to him that former aces like Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain moved to the bullpen at times later in their careers. And when they faced Greinke recently, they noticed he's added a Felix-like changeup that he throws hard and disguises to look like a fastball.Everything is on the table as Hernandez earnestly works to grab hold of those fleeting moments of greatness and clutch them as long as he can, while at least turning the other moments tolerable.When he was so down a month ago http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , even his mother told him, "My heart is broken, because I've never seen you like this." She also had another suggestion, reaching back to his early days with the Mariners when he was bigger."You've got to get big again," she told him."No, mom," he said."You look like a model now.""No, mom."He chuckles."It's been a tough year, man," he says. "But you know what? I'm hanging in there. I'm competing. That's all I can do."As everyone keeps telling him, he's still the King.Long live the King.
