Result: Win
Taking the ROCKIES here. We cashed nicely with the Reds RL yesterday, but are on the opposite side this afternoon. And with good reason. Arroyo sports a career ERA of 5 vs the Rockies. Those 13 starts (15 games) were when he was actually a major league starter pitcher - not the batting practice fodder he is now. He has a 6.31 ERA on the year, though pitching much better at home 4.84 ERA as to the road 8.05. Not sure how many times I have said an ERA near 5 is good in my life! On the opposite side of his career and with opposite stats, rookie Kevin Freeland comes in, for me, as the play today. A 3.13 ERA on the year, 2.42 on the road in 4 starts. Not a fan of his K/BB ratio 29K/22BB and I would like to see that improve drastically. But he does get a lot of ground-ball outs which will help in this park. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES
