Total: 10.50 | 102.00 Over
Result: Win
I understand going under the total is a dangerous thing to do at Coors Field. But keep in mind not only who the pitchers are for this matchup - Cole Hamels and underrated Tyler Anderson - but that there is no DH, no Trevor Story, probably no Carlos Beltran and a slight wind that will be blowing in.
Hamels could be the top road pitcher in baseball with an 8-2 away mark and 1.90 ERA. He's experienced against the Rockies and Coors Field from when he pitched with the Phillies holding a 3.21 career ERA versus Colorado and having made five starts in Colorado. Hamels won't have to deal with Story either. The Rockies go from "A" offensive production at shortstop to "F" because of Story's poor-hitting replacement infielders.
Anderson will be making his 11th career start. His ERA is 3.25. That's the lowest ERA for a Colorado starter through 10 starts in team history. Anderson has been fine pitching at Coors going 4-1 with a 3.32 ERA in seven home starts. He's been touched for just three homers in those seven starts at Coors.
