I think the total is set too low here in Wednesday night's contest between the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants.

Tyler Chatwood (11-9, 4.08 ERA) takes the ball for Colorado. He's posted a 1.88 ERA in 12 road starts on the season, but he was not overly impressive when he conceded two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks here at AT&T Park earlier in the season. Now he'll face a Giants team that recorded 19 hits in last night's 12-3 victory, and I don't see them slowing down still fighting for a wild card in the National League.

Jeff Samardzija (12-10, 3.83) takes the ball for San Francisco. He tossed seven scoreless innings against San Diego in his last turn, but the 31 year old has been inconsistent all season and Colorado has plenty of bite in its lineup.

I like a couple of external factors as well as we can expect a 9-12 mph wind blowing towards center field and an umpire in Mark Wegner who has a couple of solid over angles for this game. Over is 12-2 in Wegner's last 14 games behind home plate vs. San Francisco and 7-2 in his last nine games behind home plate vs. Colorado.
