Contrarian Crusher - Rickenbach MLB Game #929 Sunday 8* OVER the total in Texas Rangers vs Colorado Rockies @ 3:05 ET - The Rockies Jon Gray is off of a strong start versus the Phillies but Philadelphia has not been hitting well at all and the long-term numbers on Gray tell the full story. Gray is 1-3 with a 6.97 ERA in his 4 day game starts this season. Overall he has a 5.68 ERA on the season and, in each month so far this season (March, April, May, June) he has at least a 5.57 ERA in each month. As you can see, Gray has consistently struggled and that day game stat noted above is no fluke. The past two seasons the Rockies right-hander had a combined 4.93 ERA in day game outings. The Rangers scored 5 runs yesterday and that is the 4th time in their last 5 games that Texas has scored at least 5 runs. The problem yesterday for over players was that the Rockies only scored 2 runs. However, a complete bounce back can be expected here as Colorado "tees off" against Yovanni Gallardo in this one. He has been pitching in the minors and has some decent (though not great) numbers there but now is back in the bigs where the veteran has struggled badly ever since 2015. The past 3 seasons combined (includes some work out of Reds bullpen this season) Gallardo has gone 11-18 with an ugly 5.81 ERA. Now he faces a Rockies team that had been swinging the bats very well prior to yesterday's loss. In fact, heading into yesterday's game Colorado was on a 14-1 run to the over! Look for that strong trending to resume here as there is plenty of reason to believe that both these pitchers get rocked Sunday. 8* OVER the total in Texas
